Does this clear up acne like hormonal cystic pimples on the chin as well as smaller blemishes on the forehead?

Yes it will help but I'd use the retinol 1 for you. And use it every night after you wash your face and allow it to dry for a few mins before applying it all over. Expect to have dryness & flakey skin at first with maybe some purging of the skin but it will definitely help clear up your skin ;) I suffer from cystic acne myself

I'm sorry I can't answer that question as I'm not using it for that purpose. You might want to look into the Olay cleanser brush for something like that, I use it but not for acne. While I was researching those types of brushes a lot of people who had acne saw that the brush helped clear it up! Good luck!

Topical treatments can sometimes help with cystic acne and a retinoid (Retinol, RetinA, Tazarac, etc....) is the first choice for acne. You can also start with the stronger Retinol 1.0.

Not at all. In fact, I think it's reduced the number of breakouts I get. I use a very small amount each night, and it seems to keep my face from getting oily during the day.

I'm 35 and have a few wrinkles and unfortunately acne as well. I haven't found this product to be helpful in either area. I've been using it for a few months but probably not as often as I should.

I think this is primarily to treat the acne you have. I don't think it will lessen future breakouts.

I believe that it has helped me a lot. I used to follow it with cetaphil (the mildest formula), but I found that that seemed to irritated my skin and dried it out. Once I stopped using a cleanser afterwards, my face kept its moisture better and breakouts stopped. But maybe that was just me. I use this, then a toner, then a hyaluronic acid toner and moisturizer. I have oily skin, by the way.

it doesn't for me, i have very sensitive skin and i broke out a lot, but using this i have less break outs to no break outs at all and smaller pores! it's a good buy and leaves your face very smooth and soft.

It definitely helps mine. I don't get acne but razor bumps and ingrown hairs and this is now the only stuff I use.

This product is awesome for cystic acne! It took a couple of weeks to clear up and if I get a zit or something every once in a while I will use the cleanser to dab a bit on it and leave it over night. I use the whole system every night and use a gentler cleanser such as albolene in the mornings to keep from over drying. Don't forget to wear a sun screen during the days!

Yes I would. Proactive gave me these huge bumps (I cannot call them pimples because I've never gotten pimples so large ever in my life). Murad definitely does not give me bumps. It takes them away :). And while my skin is not 100% clear, as i have not been using the cleanser consistently, I am happy with the results I have gotten for the past 2/3 months. (I use the gel cleanser and the perfecting lotion only. I did not purchase this kit)

Yes, it does. It dries out breakouts and makes them go away twice as fast. It also cleans out pores, so with regular use you shouldn't break out much at all.

I would say no on the nodules. I don't know about acne. I have roseaca and it doesn't help that.

I get cystic acne once in awhile. But never once since using this. The acne I do have, it cleared up completely! Using the toner & cream morn and night, was too much for my skin and made me red and dry. I just use the toner @ night to remove leftover make up and regular cetaphil lotion in the morn. It's awesome stuff!

My daughter, 16, tried it for her acne. She felt that it may be a good as a preventive regimen once acne has cleared up,however she didn't see her acne clear up using it. I did like the natural, no scent aspect of this product. We returned it.

I don't think so,your best bet is to go to web md type in cystic acne and see what it suggest

I believe the MD Clenziderm works for either mild or moderate Acne depending on your skin type. I use the one for the oil skin type and I had moderate stubborn Acne. I am cleared up pretty well now within one month.

To be honest yes it does, BUT after months of use I found out that the moisturizer made my face greasy so I would use that as a basic body lotion & it does wonders , but now I just buy the face wash & treatment ! NO acne NO oil NO huge pores . FYI : it's much cheaper too! But it's a really good product overall . You can even visit the website , it's a list of drugstore products that give you the same benefits , not as quick like The Regimen , give it a try : )

Alpha Hydrox contains glycolic acid which helps turn over skin layers to reveal fresher skin. I think it would indeed help your situation. I know it helps acne and acne scars and it helps brown sunspots too. I don't see why it wouldn't help you.
