Works as well as benzoyl peroxide products without the ruined towels!

I have been using Nature's Gate Organics Acne Treatment System for just under a year now and absolutely love the results. I had been using another kit that uses benzoyl peroxide as its main acne-fighting ingredient, but it really dried my skin out and the bleaching action of the peroxide ruined countless towels and T-shirt necklines.
So when a friend recommended Nature's Gate Organics Acne Kit, I thought I'd give it a try. After that first kit, I've never even considered using anything else. I find the salicylic acid based formula gentler on my skin but still very effective at clearing up breakouts and preventing new ones. I've used salicylic acid products in the past without the greatest results, but however Nature's Gate Organics acne product is formulated, IT WORKS. (According to their packaging, it's the combination with the Oligopeptide-10 that makes the salicylic acid more effective.)
It's really important to stick to the complete regimen, though. When I first started using the kit, I used the three products haphazardly, using the cleanser one day but not the toner and lotion, etc. I could tell the difference, though, when I followed the package directions and used all three. The cleanser, toner and lotion each have their function and I'm really happy with how my skin feels and looks when I use the whole system. I've gotten a lot of compliments on how good my skin looks, too, since I started using Nature's Gate Organics.
This is also the first formula I've found that didn't dry out my skin. I think most acne products are formulated for teens with really oily skin. For those of us past puberty (I'm 30+) but still dealing with adult acne, we need products that are effective but gentle. And the fact that it contains natural/organic ingredients is an added bonus. All of those botanicals makes it smell great, too!
For me, Nature's Gate Organics Acne Treatment is perfect. I don't write a lot of reviews, but I felt compelled when I saw it posted here because I really believe in this product. Plus, I'm so glad Amazon is offering it and at such a good price! |
Very good acne treatment system! Made in the USA.

I have become more aware of the "bad" ingredients in many cosmetics and skincare products and have been wondering a lot lately about how I am going to keep my skin clear without slathering it with cancer-causing agents. Then I stumbled upon this product! The box says "Get Clear Skin in 6 weeks"; however, I've only used the product for a few days and already my skin is starting to show signs of vast improvement. (I will come back and update my review if this changes.) The box comes with complete and clear instructions. The packaging and labels on the bottles are neither feminine nor masculine. It's pretty much "acceptable" for both guys and girls. The products don't have a medicine smell or any kind of floral or girly smell. The cleanser and toner are lightly scented, but it's nothing that lingers or bothers me. I can be sensitive to perfume smells due to allergies, and this doesn't affect me at all. The corrective cleanser and controling lotion bottles are labeled with expiration dates on the bottom. If you are looking to try a skin care system that's as good as, if not better in my opinion, than the "leading brands" give this a try.
Two additional notes: The lid on the toner leaks ever so slightly. Beware if you are planning on traveling with this product. Also, the bottles which contain organic product are not labeled for recycling(?). |
Gentle on the skin and effective.

As someone in their 40's who has suffered with acne for a good portion of their life, one learns to manage their expectations when it comes to acne products. Nature's Gate acne product is not a cure all, but it does provide an effective regimen, which is similar to ProActiv, at a fraction of the cost. While I don't believe any regimen out there is totally "chemical free", this one at least contains several natural ingredients, which aren't as harsh on your face as some of the other products I've tried. I love the fact that it does not leave my face either dry or greasy feeling. With average use, I believe the "kit" is meant to last for 3 months.
I used the product for 4 weeks, and the following are my conclusions.
1. The Corrective Cleanser has a very light feel, similar to shampoo. Initially I questioned whether it was really working, but it does. After rinsing it off, my face actually felt clean. The cleanser itself has a mild, non-lingering scent. As part of my shower routine in the morning and the evening, I also use a mild exfoliating scrub by Crabtree & Evelyn called Naturals - Solutions for Men (Daily Face Scrub). The combination works very well for me.
2. The Calming Toner removes excess oils that could block the pores. It works fairly well, has a decent scent, and did not dry out my skin, which many alcohol based toners tend to do. I just wish they gave you a larger bottle. The problem with many of these regimens is that they tend to have a "one size fits all" approach. I really respect acne regimens like AcneFree, which give you so much more for your money.
3. I really like the Corrective Lotion. My first test for it was, "does it leave my face either dry or greasy?" To be fair, I must tell you, I have oily skin. After a long stressful day, my face does not feel or look greasy. The second test was, "does the acne treating component work for me?" Well, so far so good. The lotion contains salicylic acid, which is a key ingredient in many skin-care products for the treatment of acne, psoriasis, calluses, corns, keratosis pilaris, and warts. It works by causing the cells of the epidermis to shed more readily, preventing pores from clogging up, and allowing room for new cell growth. I think it also assists in evening out your skin tone.
The long and short is that the product works pretty well for me so far. Understand, though, that everyone's skin is different, and to effectively treat acne, you must find a combination that works for you. That includes the right shampoo, conditioner, gel, face regimen, etc. I wish I would have had that advice as a teenager. I like the fact that this product is not harsh to my face and contains several natural ingredients. For $25, it's worth a try. |
Great Product!

| Wow! What a hidden find! I can't believe more people haven't heard of this product. My daughter has used it about two months and her face looks terrific! There wasn't any drying or reddness like other products. I even used it on a couple small breakouts on myself and it worked so quickly. |
Working well so far

| My skin was very dry and irritated from my previous acne regimen when I started using this system. Additionally, I believe I was breaking out more (before I started) due to the heavy moisturizer I was using to prevent the dryness. When I started to use this system, my skin cleared up a bit more, and it didn't dry out so much that I had to use a heavy moisturizer. I believe it does work without over-drying. |
