The book is well-written, and easy to follow and understand. The ingredients, however, were difficult to find (especially the third step, 10% Glycolic acid, which we had to special order from the Health Food store and it cost almost $30. It is called Reviva 10% Glycolic Acid Cream, Exfoliation & Cell Renewal for Mature Skin, 1.5 oz. You can also find it on the internet. The first step, 2% Salycilic acid, we found at Walgreens, called Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, 6 fl oz. Second step, the 10% Benzoyl Peroxide, is a CVS generic band of acne treatment cream (a small tube, like your typical topical blemish cream) called CVS Acne Treatment Cream, Maximum Strength, Vanishing Formula, 1 oz. The thing that's too bad about the treatment is that it REALLY dries your skin out (surprisingly, it's the Neutrgena Oil-Free Acne Wash that is the most drying...not the Glycolic Acid). And using Oil-free Moisturizer isn't helping the dryness. My children are applying the moisturizer almost constantly all day (a real problem since they are in school from 8-4). The oil-free moisturizer we are using is Neutrogena Oil-free Moisturizer with 15 SPF, 4 fl oz. They started the Acne Cure before Christmas and it is now the middle of January with no difference. What a disappointment! We were really hoping this would be the answer. We've tried ProActiv, Murad, facials, with no noticible results. What Dr Drubrow says makes such sense, it's too bad it wasn't effective. We're going to continue the treatment regimen for the six weeks, just to see if something happens. I'm not too optimistic, but hopeful. My daughter said she would rather have the acne than the really dry skin. That's how bad the dry skin is.Read full review
