5.0 out of 5 stars Cleared up acne FAST...a little goes a long way, June 13, 2011

This review is from: Peter Thomas Roth AHA/BHA Acne Clearing Gel 2 fl oz (Misc.)

I'm Asian with an olive skin tone. I have had problems with blackheads and some clogged pores on my nose -- no big deal. In the beginning of this summer, I started having really bad breakouts and they would go away on their own. Though, each time I got the breakout, I got acne scars and marks on my face. The breakout occurred once again and this time the inflammation was really bad. My cheeks were red from the acne and there were still some post-acne scars. I bought this PTR acne clearing gel along with a very gentle cleanser one day to try out. I put this product on before I went to bed and didn't really expect a whole lot. The next morning (after some 8-hr glorious sleep) the redness was pretty much gone. I then started using it twice a day along with an SPF30 sunscreen and a gentle cleanser. By day 5, the scars had faded that my roommate and my boyfriend noticed. I didn't get the "purging effect" like some people do, but I'm glad this is working for me. I don't know if I would go for other products for the regimen with AHA/BHA. I personally think that one intensive product is quite enough, which is why I'm using it with a gentle cleanser. The clogged pores and blackheads are starting to clear up as well. I've always been eating well -- whole grains, monounsaturated fat, lean proteins, and lots of fruits; and I try to get a lot of good-quality sleep every night. It's probably a combination of the sleep, diet, and exercise that helps speed the healing process up, but I know for sure that this product contributes A LOT.
Whoever reads this, I hope this product works for you too :)

I've used this product before. Gentle but effective, it gets the job done. If you have active acne, try using Zapzyt 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment gel cream. This combination cleared my skin completely! It also corrected my irregular skin texture. I would definitely recommend it!

i have struggled with acne on my back, shoulders and chest since my late 20's. i have literally tried every single prescription treatment (clindamycin, retin-A, differin, benzaclin, benzoyl peroxide, accutane) and nothing has given me the confidence to wear backless anything. i heard about PTR through a friend and figured i would give it a try. the price is a bit steep but after paying for prescriptions with no results i cannot even put it into words how happy and pleased i am. while my acne has not completely cleared up, it is a VAST difference from where it was and i'm a very new user. there are still a few tiny blemishes after using the product for about two weeks now and i am confident it will continue to improve. i am so happy i finally found "my product!" .. it is so worth trying! i hope you have the same great results i have had!
