If you have acne then you know it can be painful and no fun to deal with. I had it for several years and have tried many acne products with no luck. From skin care products from Walmart to trying a product I saw on tv. Everything I did failed until I tried a great product from Obagi.

My first attempt to fix my acne problem started at Walmart where I found several products to try. For several weeks I used Rapid Clear from Neutrogena and had almost no change in my acne. After deciding that Rapid Clear wasn’t my fix I found another product called Clearasil Ultra. I tried it for a while and found that it gave me similar results. Now I know that these acne products must work. I’ve even seen Clearasil on tv, although I don’t know if it is the same product as the one I bought in Walmart. Finally I tried to use both products together to see if twice the acne fighting power could overpower the nasty bumps on my face. Sure enough… fail. It seemed that nothing from Walmart would work for me.

After seeing Jessica Simpson’s acne solution, Proactive, on tv I decided to give it a try. It has a three step system that was designed for fighting acne. I’m not sure what each step specifically did, but I followed the directions and used the product for about a month. At first it seemed like the Proactive was working, but after about a week or two my acne returned. It was like my skin developed some kind of immunity to it and the acne just came back. I guess I just have stubborn skin.


So once again I went looking for a different product that would be able to tame my acne. I came across Clenziderm M.D. from Obagi. At first I wasn’t going to try it because it was similar to Proactive’s three step scheme, but I went for it anyway. After the first few days I noticed a change. My skin was clearing up and a couple of days later my acne was gone, but the real test was to see if my acne would mutate again like it did with the proactive. A month went by and then two months, still nothing. I finally found an acne solution that worked for me.

If you have had a similar battle with acne as I have then I think it is time to send in the reinforcements and try Obagi’s Clenziderm M.D. I’m not going to promise that it will work for you, but it is something else to try. I just use it twice a day and it keeps my face acne free.
