I want to write this review because I suffered with cystic acne for years. I started at about age 12 with regular pimples here and there. When I was a senior in high school, I began to get painful pimples that lasted days and days. I tried every drug store brand available and every oral medication including antibiotics. I saw several dermatologists and no one could find a solution that worked for me. My mom encouraged me to try to use face soaps and makeups from a better company and thought maybe that would help. I talked to a specialist at the clinique counter and she suggested their clarifying line. I got a green bar of soap for my face, an astringent, a lotion, and a topical medication. She also recommended a foundation that had salicylic acid in it. It took maybe a few days before I started notice a major change. I still use these products 5 years later and I am acne free.
