Summary: Informative, But Not Revolutionary
Comment: "The Acne Cure." Those three words can instantly conjure up weary thoughts in the acne-ridden. Why? It's because anyone who has acne has already heard about a plethora of acne cures. For instance, one cannot browse an acne related website without being exposed to "cures" one has discovered. Television consistently show teenagers in neon bright colors appearing and reappearing on the screen jabbing blackheads and dousing their faces in water. "Bye Bye Breakouts!" they shout.
We are even convinced to try "miracle creams and solutions", home remedies, weird regimens and even antibiotics. Accutane, the "if all else fails" antibiotic, is even advertised as an acne cure. I've tried Accutane twice in the past, and even THAT didn't rid me of acne forever. So if Accutane, an incredibly potent medication, cant remove acne from my life, how can The Acne Cure's four simple steps save the day? Why is THIS Acne Cure the real deal?
I must say, being promised the acne cure in a [...] book, intrigued me, so I picked up the book so I can review it for my website.
The main questions that instantly popped in my head were:
- Who is Terry J. Dubrow?
- Why is he confident enough to label his book the Acne Cure?
- If this cure is true, why isn't it universally known?
The Acne Cure is described as a "groundbreaking four step program that immediately helps to improve your skin." The Acne Cure promises a fast acting cure, regardless of the severity of your acne, with no side effects or dietary changes. Dubrow promises results in 24 HOURS and complete eradication of your blemises in six weeks or less.
Sounds too good to be true?
The Acne Cure is an extremely valuable book for one yearning to learn about their skin. It's full of empowering ideas, skin revelations, and effortlessly communicates an authentic feel. The book starts out beautifully. Dubrow explains how magnificent and dynamic the skin is in the first chapter, "Skin." It is in this chapter where he strongly communicates to the reader his faith in his regimen.
"Using the techniques outlined in this book, acne can be completely eliminated in 95% of all cases -- even the most severe ones -- in six weeks or less.."
The remaining 5 percent? I figured that five percent would consist of people who had NO success with the Acne Cure or people whose skin became worse. Wrong. Dubrow believes that 5% will experience a great reduction of their acne. Therefore, if true, it's pretty safe to say that The Acne Cure is a book that every person with acne should own. Right?
So, you're wondering if you should purchase this book.
Before I continue, Have you ever wondered :
If the Acne Cure is for you?
What Skin Does?
How does Acne Spread?
How to take care of your skin from the inside?
The Effect Stress Has on Acne?
How to cure acne in Black, Hispanic and Asian Skin?
Then you're in luck. This and more is covered in the book.
My biggest gripe with the Acne Cure though is the actual step by step process used to achieve clear skin. Admittedly, I don't use the Acne Cure -- I have my own regimen that I discovered through years of trial and error -- but the components that make up Dubrow's "Cure" are products the common acne suffer has been using for years. The book is informative, but not revolutionary. The actual Acne Cure consists of Salicyclic Acid, Benzoyl Peroxide, Glycolic Acid, and a sunscreen.
What if someone's skin does not mesh well with one of these products though? What if someone refuses to use Benzoyl Peroxide because of immense irritation? Are they excluded from trying the Acne Cure? Where are the alternatives?
I'm an advocate of a simple, quick and easy to use regimen, so the use of all of the aforementioned products daily irritates me. Personally, I know I would deviate or lack the discipline to follow this regimen everyday. Using icepacks to reduce irritation? It may sound good in theory, but I find that tedious and a bit ridiculous. If you believe that you can stick with the regimen and never break or deviate, then you should try it.
Secondly, using Dubrow's Acne Cure requires a large amount of accuracy and dedication. His regimen is pretty lengthy, but at the same time, it's ambiguous. His application instructions are NOT very clear, so it's going to take a bit of re-reading on your part to fully grasp the steps required to clear your skin. It's important that you do, so you don't risk taking another hit to your self confidence or damage your skin any further.
Overall, The Acne Cure is a must own not because of the actual regimen inside, but the information. Reading this book has enabled me to fully understand how skin and acne works. For example, Before, I knew that popping acne was wrong, but I never knew exactly why. In one of his great revelations, Dubrow explains what happens when we pop our pimples, how the body reacts, and goes into depth about the skin's irony : in an attempt to fight acne, the skin defense mechanism actually makes itself MORE vulnerable to spreading and infection.
Little gems like this are spread all throughout the book, so it's a great purchase for that alone. I highly recommend this book. Buy it today.

Summary: still in progress, but good news.......
Comment: I am 22 years old and I thought I had cured my acne by taking accutane years ago when I was 16. My acne reappeared 3 years later not as worse but still bad and I started taking accutane for the second time which I don't recommend to anybody unless your acne is Severe severe or cannot be cured by this program which is a small chance. My acne surprisingly reappeared once again. So as you can imagine my acne is not that severe but is very persistant. This program is working very well so far.
This program works as long as you follow it to the letter and if you buy the right acid concentrations, including the key steps that are the sun block of 15 or higher and the ice
The last step of that program tells you to use the ice packs and bp gel, and then leave the rest of bp gel on your face for the rest of the night, but how do you do if you wanna go out at night? well, what I did and has worked so far is to run the ice cubes over my face and then put your ice pack but do not put bp gel just to get rid of those inflammations. Do not do this all the time, though, since your bp is what kills the bacteria, you dont wanna go out all the time haha just every once in a while or every weekend. It is worthy to say no sometimes. Remember it only takes 6 weeks so do the sacrifice. Another and I think the most important thing is,you know, as this doctor explains that there are several types of acne. well, mine I think is psychological since I keep squeezing even though I know it worsens my acne. I hate those white heads but, indeed, what I am doing is prolonguing my situation, so extremely important that you don't touch your face at all. Don't get weak and start squeezing. they will go away and leaving a markless face if you follow the program.
I've been doing so for 2 weeks and my face has gotten way better. It looks different, it looks healthy.

Summary: simple
Comment: ok. morning: wash affected area with salycylic acid soap or apply salycylic liquid + drop of water. wash with warm water. apply an SPF moisturizer. night: wash with salycyclic acid soap. ice the affected area until it becomes cool to the touch. immediately afterwards, apply cold benzoil peroxide gel. immediately afterwards, apply ice bag and keep the skin cold for about 15 minutes. let the remaining BP work overnight. why the long instructions? jeez.

Summary: conclusion pending
Comment: As of today, I've done the first part of the program for 10 weeks. I've only gotten two or three pimples a week for a month, and they go away more easily than they used to. Let's call it a 70-80% improvement. The products I used were Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash (2% salicylic acid), Paula's Choice 8% Alpha Hydroxy Gel (8% glycolic acid, no salicylic acid), Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (2.5% benzoyl peroxide), and Eucerin Extra Protective Moisture Lotion (SPF 30, non-comedogenic).
I'm moving onto the maintenance program to see what happens. I'll be using Peter Thomas Roth Glycolic Acid 3% Facial Wash, NutriBiotic Face Creme (alpha lipoic acid, DMAE, vitamin c ester, tocotrienol), and the same moisturizer. Updates in 2-3 weeks.

Summary: Very pleased
Comment: Book was in good shape. So far the treatment seems to be working, but it may be too early to tell. Lot's of good helpful information. My teenager is reading the book herself and applying the treatment, however I had to get one of the ingredients from a local compounding pharmacy with a prescription.
