So, I'm a young female who has been struggling... and I mean STRUGGLING... with acne for probably ten years now. And when I say acne, I mean face, chest, back, shoulders... everything. I have run the whole 9 yards and back over the years with acne products... started with topical stuff OTC, including ProActiv, then went to the regular doc and took all the cyclines, then went to the dermatologist, tried every pill/topical combination out there. When I was 14, I finally found a topical treatment that worked well enough to clear me up enough to be acceptable, but it wasn't great. That product had sulfur in it, and I have found that that has been my best bet as far as long-term topical treatment. Well, my doctor decided to have me try Accutane when I was 16. Now that worked wonders and I was blemish-free for 2 years. It wasn't until my sophomore year of college that I started having really bad breakouts again. At first I thought it was due to bad makeup, which it partly was, but I couldn't shake it. I was terribly broken out for about 8 months and could not get it under control. I felt like I was 13 years old again. Well, for Christmas this year, my mom got me this Clarisonic Mia 2. I started using it on Christmas Day on my face and chest and let me tell you... I noticed a difference in a week. I now sit here a month later, and I have one pimple. Yes, ONE. Aside from the fading scarring from past acne, my face is flawless. My chest is clear too. I used the Clarisonic with the facewash they provided... it has 2% salicylic acid... and then used my topical treatment (Clearasil adult acne treatment with sulfur) afterwards. It's a magic wand, I'm convinced. My face feels and looks smooth and I have no problem not having makeup on now. And can I remind you... THIS IS ALL IN A MONTH. If that's not magic, I dunno what is. Worth EVERY PENNY!
