Walgreens Skin Essentials 3 Step Acne System —

I am 26 and I have had off and on trouble with acne for at least ten years now. I have tried probably every product available at the store along with Proactive as well. Proactive made my face dry and sore and it did not even help with my acne! I kept on with it in the hopes my skin would adjust. It did not and I said forget it and went back to using the plain cheap facewash. A couple of years ago I saw another three step acne system called "Acne Free". It stated it compared to Proactive but that it would do more for you and it cost less so I decided to give it a try. Sure enough it was nothing like Proactive. I am not sure if it was because of my age my skin has changed or what but let me tell you this stuff works! I love it other than it bleaches everything you touch after using it. I am sure we all know we need to be careful with benzoyl peroxide but if not I am warning you now! Use white towels only when using any kind of face product with benzoyl peroxide in it. Though "Acne Free" has been doing me right for a couple of years now I decided that maybe my face has grown out of it. Times are tough and I need to pinch pennies. I ran out of it and started using Clean and Clear. Two days later I had two HUGE zits and a bunch of little ones! After a week of them only becoming angerier and angerier I said forget it I am going to have to buy the Acne Free again. Before going to the store I ran across this product and was happy to hear about a product that was a little cheaper (7 dollars cheaper) that is supposed to produce the same results. Here it is again two days later and my face is almost perfect already. I cannot believe how fast Walgreens Skin Essentials has made my zits vanish! I definately recommend this product and plan on using it for a very very long time!
