5.0 out of 5 stars Works as well as benzoyl peroxide products without the ruined towels!, August 9, 2006

By 

Lynda B. (Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nature's Gate Organics Acne Treatment System with Oligopeptide-10, (1 acne treatment system) (Health and Beauty)

I have been using Nature's Gate Organics Acne Treatment System for just under a year now and absolutely love the results. I had been using another kit that uses benzoyl peroxide as its main acne-fighting ingredient, but it really dried my skin out and the bleaching action of the peroxide ruined countless towels and T-shirt necklines.

So when a friend recommended Nature's Gate Organics Acne Kit, I thought I'd give it a try. After that first kit, I've never even considered using anything else. I find the salicylic acid based formula gentler on my skin but still very effective at clearing up breakouts and preventing new ones. I've used salicylic acid products in the past without the greatest results, but however Nature's Gate Organics acne product is formulated, IT WORKS. (According to their packaging, it's the combination with the Oligopeptide-10 that makes the salicylic acid more effective.)

It's really important to stick to the complete regimen, though. When I first started using the kit, I used the three products haphazardly, using the cleanser one day but not the toner and lotion, etc. I could tell the difference, though, when I followed the package directions and used all three. The cleanser, toner and lotion each have their function and I'm really happy with how my skin feels and looks when I use the whole system. I've gotten a lot of compliments on how good my skin looks, too, since I started using Nature's Gate Organics.

This is also the first formula I've found that didn't dry out my skin. I think most acne products are formulated for teens with really oily skin. For those of us past puberty (I'm 30+) but still dealing with adult acne, we need products that are effective but gentle. And the fact that it contains natural/organic ingredients is an added bonus. All of those botanicals makes it smell great, too!

For me, Nature's Gate Organics Acne Treatment is perfect. I don't write a lot of reviews, but I felt compelled when I saw it posted here because I really believe in this product. Plus, I'm so glad Amazon is offering it and at such a good price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone has a different skin type, but worked for me!, June 8, 2009

By 

ForsakenPhantasm (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nature's Gate Organics Acne Treatment System with Oligopeptide-10, (1 acne treatment system) (Health and Beauty)

I did a lot of research on organic, cruelty-free skincare before choosing this kit, and I've noticed pretty much everything has extreme ratings on all organic skincare products, either good or bad. Everyone has a different lifestyle, genes, skin type, etc. that factor into their acne causes, but my review is based on the following:

-I've tried Proactiv, Clinique, Doxycycline and accompanying prescription treatment system, and all of them only made me worse and rashy/Doxy made me extremely sick.

-I have allergic skin reactions to many chemicals, like those found in standard laundry detergent.

-My acne is mostly hormonal - when I started taking birth control pills and using tea tree oil and some soap it completely cleared up. I also break out a lot from stress. I'm also a professional musician and spend a lot of time on stage in costume, with heavy makeup on, sweating up a storm, which helps me break out as well.

-I'm 25, female, vegetarian, consume very little refined sugar, dairy, wheat, processed foods, exercise daily and avoid OTC medication as much as possible (I DO consume alcohol regularly).

That being said, when I stopped taking birth control pills, my weight dropped dramatically, prompting me to not want to get back on them. However, my acne, after five years of being clear, returned with a vengeance, and tea tree oil no longer cut it. I had cystic acne up and down my entire back and neck, weird rashlike acne on my upper arms with huge weird bumps that would eventually pop like zits, and tons of breakouts on my face. It this was worse than ANYTHING I've ever had, even as a teenager.

Within a couple days of using Nature's Gate, my regular acne had almost completely cleared up, and my cystic acne looked like regular acne. I am, as well, supplementing with vitamins and a homeopathic acne pill (ClearAc), as I read acne can be caused by things like poor blood oxygenation, zinc deficiency or other vitamin-repairable factors. Someone said they felt burning when they used this kit - I just feel a gentle, refreshing tingling. As I said before, though, everyone has different sensitivities!

Keep in mind, you DO have to have a religious skin regimen to see results, as with anything, be it Nature's Gate, ProActiv, or just plain bathing. You wouldn't expect your deodorant to keep you from stinking if you didn't reapply it or bathe for multiple days! And, for some people, it may take longer than others to see said results.

Long story short, I don't usually write long reviews, but I feel very strongly about using cruelty-free, natural products whenever possible, and, as a professional musician, I was having a really hard time being broken out and performing every night, being photographed, filmed for television, etc., as so many people see me daily! I hope some of you with similar lifestyles/body types read my review and find it helpful. Btw, I did a little searching online and found this kit for only $17, which is initially why I decided to try it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Can't see much of a difference, December 4, 2008

This review is from: Nature's Gate Organics Acne Treatment System with Oligopeptide-10, (1 acne treatment system) (Health and Beauty)

(What's this?)

Even though I'm out of my teens, I still have problems with blemishes appearing so I'm willing to try anything to completely clear my skin. The Nature's Gate Organic Acne Treatment is a three step process of cleanser, toner and lotion. The box says for morning and night use and I've been using it everyday without a problem so it should be okay for twice a day, everyday use.

I've been doing the three step process everyday for almost two weeks and I can't really see a difference in my skin. It doesn't really take care of blackheads and it has not stopped a new zit from forming on my forehead. The three step process is a bit tedious and if you do not have the patience to perform the regime, it can probably be easy to stop because you just don't feel like keeping up the process.

On the plus side, it's great to find an organic product. Especially because it doesn't have any harsh or strong smells to it as some acne treatments can have. It also has cut down on my forehead getting too oily during the day which is a great thing.

So even though it hasn't really made too much on my skin yet, I'm planning to keep using the product in hope that it can change my skin some. And even though it hasn't totally worked with me, doesn't mean that it can't work for some people.
