Yes, I would recommend wetting your face first, apply for 1 minute then rinse.

I'm an esthetician. I would say YES. So many acne products are super-drying, this one is not. In addition, it leaves out many synthetic and/or harsh ingredients found elsewhere. I think this is a great choice!

Probably! It will certainly balance out your skin which might reduce the dryness and acne problem.

I don't have acne prone skin, however, I don't think this product would exacerbate acne. This product does a good job at cleaning out your pores which should help eliminate acne. Also, I have very sensitive skin that is easily vulnerable to getting dried out. I haven't experienced my skin getting dry from this product either.

It is suppose to be very good for people with acne prone skin. I have acne prone skin but i am oily/combination, and this product is really working for me. It didn't dry me out but skin felt kinda tight afterwards. If you have dry skin i suggest you use a drugstore moisturizer. If you don't want to spend as much the Origins store has it in a smaller size for about $18. BTW, i'm a teen too.

I bought this product for my sister and she has been using it for about 2 weeks. She has acne pron skin and dry patches. It been working for her pretty well. She uses it once a day at night and follows up with a light serum to help with the dry patches. (much better to use a serum so that you don't clog your pores with an oily cream). Try the coal mask to that one is really really nice.

I think so. I have acne prone, oily and sensitive skin and I use it regularly. Since you have dry skin, I would probably only use it 1-2x a week, but I think you will notice it will improve your skin in the long run. I usually apply it dry, work it in and then wet my hands and work it in. Since you have dry, acne prone skin I would probably start out applying it wet. Hope this helps!

Yes! I would definitely try this. This or Dermalogica Clay cleanser. I think this will do the trick though. Good luck!

I suffer from minor breakouts and use this product without a problem. It really helps to smooth out my skin. However, exfoliating in general can exacerbate acne and cause it to spread...I think it may depend on the severity of your condition. You can always ask for a sample and test it out!

I can't answer about the acne, but I am 45 and have VERY dry skin with alot of sun damage. This is not drying at all, but I always use a lot of moisturizer regardless of what I do to my skin.

acne scars

Does this product help minimize the appearance of acne scars after using it for awhile?

I'd say that it definitely does help with acne scars! When I got this product I just loved how well the rice starch exfoliated my skin! I also noticed that my acne scars were fading away! I liked it so much that I use it more than recommended! Oops! I hope I don't get in trouble! It might take more or less time depending on the severity of the scarring. This scrub also contains lemon extract, which means that it exfoliates twice as well as other scrubs! Oh, and it doesn't dry out your skin either!

answer 2

using it by itself probably wont help the appearance of acne scars. i suggest you pair it with the mega bright serum and the brighter by nature spf. I have been using this routine for 3 weeks and i have notice a significant difference in my face. I have had trouble with acne scars since i was a preteen and this is honestly the first time my face has looked so clear. Highly reccomend it. if you are skeptical though ask an instore sephora consultant for help about how to treat your acne scars. That's what i did. I started with a sample of this product and i liked it so i bought it. hope this helps.

I've only used it once but I would sort of doubt it. Although it will retexture and smooth out your skin which might create the illusion of a clearer, more even complexion. it's worth a try!

I also have acne scars, and I would say the prodcut helps even out the entire face because little by little it removes dead skin cells, but I wouldn't say it targets especifically acne scars.

Question

Would it helps with blackheads?

How is this product for blackheads? I mean stubborn blackheads. Ones where peels and strips barely make a dent and toners only just keep things from getting worse (but don't solve anything)? I have combination oily skin with occasional pimples, but in case you hadn't guessed, my problem is some really stubborn blackheads on my nose, cheeks, and chin. What do you guys think, would this work for me?

I would try this in combination with a mask. I use a charcoal mask to clean my pores after using this product. I found that it reduced the amount of blackheads on my nose and reduced my white heads on my cheeks as well.

I have GIGANTIC pores and blackheads are a huge problem. If you have very oily skin like me, then use this product once a week to reduce your blackheads and pores. If not, I recommend every other week. Either way, this product is great at eliminating that excess problem stuff and clearing up those blackheads!

It absolutely does exfoliate. With a natural rice ingredient it exfoliates in a gentle way and the creamy lather when you add water to rinse takes all the dead skin away and leaves your face silky, smooth and bright.
