Comment by Laura Cooksey on January 17, 2012 at 4:46pm: It takes about 3 to 4 months; sometimes longer for noninflamed acne.

Comment by Paulette Banoza on January 17, 2012 at 4:38pm: Thank you. Also, over what period of time did this occur?

Comment by Laura Cooksey on January 17, 2012 at 4:33pm: @Paulette - I use my own line. For the inflamed acne, I used a combination of mandelic serum (anti-inflammatory) and benzoyl peroxide (both used in the correct way). For the noninflamed client, I used a combination of vitamin a propionate and benzoyl peroxide (again, used in the right way).

For treatments, I used a peel blend consisting of tca, mandelic, lactic, kojic and azelaic acids.

And, there is so much more to getting results with acne than just the products/treatments. There are all kinds of lifestyle issues to consider.

Comment by Paulette Banoza on January 17, 2012 at 4:03pm: Laura Cooksey (Face Reality Acne Clinic), what product or treatment did you use for these two examples of acne care?

Comment by Laura Cooksey on January 17, 2012 at 3:38pm: @Amber - I will email you that info.

Comment by Amber on January 17, 2012 at 1:57pm: Laura, yes that would be great!
