Is dermalogica like proactive and other products like that where you acne goes away and soon comes back?

i went to ulta and this lady there said that dermalogica works really well, but i forgot to ask if it is just like proavtive where it works for awhile and then stopes working.


i dont want to waste my time and money if thats the case.


so does anyone know if its a good product that keeps acne away or if acne soon comes back?





please HELP !@#$%^%26amp;*Is dermalogica like proactive and other products like that where you acne goes away and soon comes back?
If it really works, it will not suddenly stop working. You must use any product the way it is recommended to be used.





I have used Dermalogica for 12 years. I like it.





You may need to see a dermatologist if the stuff does not make a difference. Good luck.Is dermalogica like proactive and other products like that where you acne goes away and soon comes back?
Hi there,


Proactive dries out your skin so don't use it as its' all chemically based. Dermalogica is ok to good but very expensive. Have you heard of Arbonne? Its a Swiss Formulated, Made in the USA skincare which came to Australia about 6 months ago..They are very popular in the USA, Canada and in the UK...Their products are all natural, botanically based! Really good stuff..If you would like a sample please let me know..Sample are free...

Thanks
I have not conflict of interest to declare.





The above answer is a little silly isn't it? ';Proactive is chemically based';?? Arbonne isn't?? Everything in the world is chemically based! Food is chemically based. Air is chemically based. Certainly, Arbonne is chemically based. The word ';natural'; is the slickest marketing strategy of the last century. It is used by multinational pharmaceutical companies to give a warm fuzzy mask to untested drugs. Botulinum toxin is natural and the most toxic substance known to humankind. Beware of anyone telling you things like ';you need this product....which, by the way, I just happen to sell.';





Your choices are topical such as benzoyle peroxide etc. Antibiotic soap may help some (eg. tersaseptic or generic brand - eg. Equate at Walmart). I suspect all of the topicals mentioned above will help somewhat. Topical prescriptions like Steivamycin (topical retinoic acid and erythromycin) or Clindamycin 2% in Neostrata are good for local areas. If it is severe, nodular etc or you have a large area then you will need to look at 1) a low testosterone oral contraceptive pill such as Tricyclen Lo, 2) An antibiotic such as Tetracycline or Minocycline and 3) if necessary a medication with some rare risks such as Accutane. There are rare incidences of depression and suicidality. Liver tests are monitored. Remember, driving your car also has rare but lethal side effects. We still drive.





REMEMBER!: The key to acne treatment is prevention with your treatment. When you are doing well do not stop it.
I haven't ever heard anything about dermalogica but I've heard that proactive works very well but because it has hormones in it, once you stop using it your acne will come back. For more information you can go to www.proactive.com


Good Luck! -CRG
