Product Description

 The Dermystique® Acne Control Program:  This revolutionary, easy-to-follow, aggressive 3-Step Advanced Acne Therapy Program targets blemished and acneic skin.  Although some well-known acne products contain Benzoyl Peroxide, we do not recommend any acne product that contains this ingredient for the following reasons:

1.)    In an animal study, Benzoyl Peroxide caused tumors in mice. Although this does not necessarily prove that it does the same in humans, caution is indicated.

2.)    Given the unknown safety, especially pregnant women and those who want to become pregnant should be cautious and consult their gynecologist before applying products containing this ingredient.  

3.)    Studies indicate that up to 1% of the population will be affected by allergic contact dermatitis and an unspecified percentage by irritant contact dermatitis after applying Benzoyl Peroxide to their skin (one dermatologist suggested to the author of this article that her practice is filled with patients reacting negatively to Benzoyl Peroxide).

4.)    Benzoyl Peroxide bleaches clothes and hair and many people can, therefore, not apply it during the day without ruining their clothes or risking embarrassment with lightened spots on clothes. Without protection during the day, the symptoms of acne can worsen.

5.)    In patients with skin of color (skin types IV-VI), Benzoyl Peoxide can cause hyperpigmentation, especially where there are pustules.

6.)    It has the potential of drying out the skin and stripping it of its natural oils.

7.)    It can decrease the skin’s tolerance to UV radiation. The FDA requires a warning on each product containing Benzoyl Peroxide that a sunscreen should be applied when going outside.

 Dermystique® Acne Control Program contains ingredients that are superbly effective, yet free of Benzoyl Peroxide.

The Dermystique® Acne Control Program helps heal, conceal, and prevent blemishes and acne.  If properly applied, you will see amazing results in a relatively short time, sometimes weeks, not many months.  It contains three anti acne products that should be used in conjunction with each other to ensure a comprehensive and aggressive blemish and acne treatment regimen.

Step I:  Cleanse entire face and affected areas A. M. and P. M. with Gentle Cleansing Foam.  Rinse well.

This gentle, yet effective, cleanser removes grime, dirt, and clears the skin of impurities.  It is sulfate free and, therefore, easily tolerated.

Step II:  After A. M. and P. M. cleansing, apply Advanced Action Formula with Retinol Complex and Kollacin® over entire face and all affected areas. 

Advanced Action Formula contains a high dose of Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Retinol, and Kollacin®.

Step III:  Three times a week, after P. M. cleansing, apply Soothe and Calm Masque with hands or application brush over entire face, neck, and décolleté.  Leave on 15-20 minutes.  Rinse well. 

This superb clay mask masque will dry out impurities and refresh the skin.

Dermystique® products never contain Benzoyl Peroxide or sulfates of any kind.
