RareMineral Blemish Therapy Review

Bare Escentuals has added to their wonderful line of makeup with an acne treatment called RareMineral Blemish Therapy. How does this blemish treatment compare to the already established makeup that they offer, is it just as good?

To create this acne therapy Bare Escentuals has “combined the skin-healing properties of our patent-pending 100% pure RareMinerals ActiveSoil Complex with the acne-fighting benefits of natural sulfur.”  Sulfur has been around for ages, and is known to heal the skin.  This combination sounds promising, further research will help us determine whether RareMineral Blemish Therapy lives up to this expectation.

How does RareMineral Blemish Therapy Mineral Work?

This blemish treatment comes in powder form and is applied with a brush.  You can apply over your entire face, like you would with base or foundation powder, or you can apply to each pimple.  After you apply your blemish treatment you can apply your regular makeup over it!  You can re-apply this multiple times a day, to help dry out acne quicker.

Does RareMineral Blemish Therapy Use High-Quality Ingredients?

• Sulfur: Was used anciently to cure skin disorders.  Today when sulfur is applied topically it is known to fight off acne by shedding dead and dried skin cells. Also known to help minimize oil levels, which ideally would keep further acne from forming.

Is RareMineral Blemish Therapy Safe?

RareMineral Blemish Therapy overall uses safe and natural ingredients.  To fight off acne, RareMineral uses Sulfur.  Sulfur is known to be an effective acne fighter, with possible side effects like: Drying, peeling, redness, burning, and skin irritation. If this does occur Sulfur is likely to strong for your skin.  Cutting back your dosage will possibly help.

RareMineral Blemish Therapy Company Policies

Bare Escentuals is notorious for using an auto ship program to get you to purchase more product, usually more than you want.  Many customers have to jump through hoops to get out of this program.  And returning the product is similarly difficult, but can be done.

Is RareMinerals Blemish Therapy For You?

Potential buyer beware, this product uses sulfur and smells like sulfur, if you are not familiar with that smell, its strong and disgusting (rotten eggs comes to mind)! RareMinerals is designed to heal your current acne.  With Sulfur in the ingredients that will happen.  Sulfur will dry out the skin and get rid of current acne.  Sulfur can potentially dry out the skin too much, and cause redness and irritation. However reducing how much you apply could help.

This product is easily applied with a brush, constant contact with acne and pimples, could cause this brush to spread further acne on your face, so it would be vital to clean the brush regularly.

RareMinerals has potential to help fight current acne, but falls short in keeping acne off in the long term spectrum.  All of our favorite acne treatments do both, fight acne that has already surface and help to improve your skin to keep new acne from forming.  Also, keep in mind a money back guarantee is standard in all of our fav’s and RareMinerals return policy is essentially nonexistent.

How does Pronexin Work?

72 hours to clear, acne free skin!  This is quite a promise for the creators of Pronexin to make.  Can your skin really clear up in just 3 days? To get clear skin Pronexin is applied daily to help eliminate current acne, and to keep future acne from surfacing. Pronexin uses promising all natural ingredients, and is free of harsh chemicals, similar to those found in most acne treatments on the market today.

• Organic Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera is known for its refreshing sensation and is commonly applied to sun burn, to provide relief from the burning discomfort. Aloe Vera also has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial qualities.  All these qualities make for a great acne fighting ingredient.

Is Pronexin Safe?

Pronexin uses 100% safe and natural ingredients.  Their full list of ingredients is listed on their site. With ingredients like Pronexin uses even those with the most sensitive skin should not experience negative side effects like most acne fighting solutions would cause.

Pronexin Company Policies

Pronexin has one of the best return policies that I have come across, not only do they offer a Lifetime money back guarantee (like all of our top rated products) but they will refund the purchase price and the shipping and handling fees!  This is not the norm, and I give props to the makers of Pronexin for giving their customers such an awesome return policy.

This acne fighting solution surprisingly comes at a low price at $38 per bottle.  You can get several bottles at a time, and actually get a better deal per bottle.

Is Pronexin For You?

If you are looking to see fast results Pronexin could be what you are looking for.  Pronexin does make very bold claims, with their 72 hour promise.  After looking into this product, I would be surprised if it didn’t live up to its claims. Many acne treatments can provide fast relief of acne, but few will also provide long term results.  Pronexin is designed to do both, and their ingredients seem to back this up.  Many acne treatments that provide quick relief will also severely dry out your skin, since Pronexin contains no harsh chemicals your skin won’t dry out or become otherwise irritated. This all sounds great, and to top it off they also have an amazing guarantee.  So you can feel confident giving Pronexin a try.

How does Panoxyl Acne Work?

Panoxyl Acne is advertised to gently remove dirt and excess oil, and to cleanse and unclog pores. Panoxyl Acne is available in the form of a bar (similar to that of a bar of soap) a foam, or a topical gel.  As well as coming in 2 different forms, it is also available in 2 different concentrates of Benzoyl Peroxide, 5 and 10%.  Benzoyl Peroxide is a very powerful chemical, which is well known to kill acne and acne causing bacteria.  The strongest percentage of Benzoyl Peroxide available in over the counter form is 10%, so Panoxyl appears to be a powerful solution to fighting acne.

Panoxyl Acne products are relatively inexpensive and conveniently available at your local drugstore.  As stated above you can get Panoxyl either in a bar, foam or gel form.  The bar is designed to help get rid of acne on your face, neck and back, while the gel and foam would be applied topically to specific pimples.  Panoxyl Acne sounds like a great way to treat your acne troubles, but is it considered safe, will it irritate your skin? With an appealing low price, is the product itself just as appealing?  Read further for a more in depth look into Panoxyl Acne.

Does Panoxyl Acne Use High-Quality Ingredients?

• Benzoyl Peroxide:  As mentioned above, this chemical is a very strong acne fighter, known to kill both good and bad bacteria.  It is so strong that I suggest too harsh for the sensitive skin of the face. With a lengthy list of possible side effects; redness, burning, itching, peeling, and possible swelling, Benzoyl Peroxide should be used, if at all, with extreme caution.

Panoxyl Acne Company Policies

Panoxyl Acne is an inexpensive acne medicine, available at your drug store for anywhere from $8-35, depending on the concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide. Panoxyl offers no money back guarantee on their products.

Is Panoxyl Acne For You?

If you are looking for a last minute fix to a current acne breakout, Panoxyl might be helpful.  Panoxyl is strong enough to kill your current acne, however with the use of harsh chemicals, not only will it fight off your acne it will also dry out your skin, and leave behind other side effects. Many customers complained of excessively dried skin, and bleached sheets!  Yes it has bleaching abilities, which doesn’t sound ideal for your face. The bottles warns to not get on your clothing, hair, bedding, etc.

Panoxyl Acne products are not really designed to provide long term acne relief, it would work more like an on the spot treatment.

The cheapest price I was able to find was $7.99, this is a great price, but it would be even better if Panoxyl used quality, safe ingredients.  Not chemicals like Benzoyl Peroxide.  I would recommend you check out our top rated acne fighting products, which use safe and natural ingredients. You might have to spend a little bit more, but all of our fav’s have a lifetime money back guarantee!

How does Origins Spot Remover Anti Blemish Treatment Gel Work?

Origins Spot Remover gel is an on the spot acne treatment, meaning you apply directly to the pimple or problem area.  Ideally one would see results the next day, either by a reduction in inflammation or a completely healed pimple. Origins uses Salicylic acid to clear away the blemish.   This powerful chemical zeros in on the problem area and efficiently dries it out.

This inexpensive acne treatment uses powerful chemicals to dry out acne.  When applied you feel a deep tingling sensation, and can feel the salicylic acid going to work.  Origins Spot Remover Acne Blemish Treatment gel claims to help clear breakouts, speed healing and reduce redness. Are their methods safe, do they use natural ingredients like they say, and what do customers think of this gel?

Does Origins Spot Remover Anti Blemish Treatment Gel Use High-Quality Ingredients?

Salicylic Acid: is known to treat acne by exfoliating away dead skin, as well as penetrate the pores of the skin. This allows the dead skin cells to be exfoliated and keep the pores clear.

Oregano and Clove Buds: Origins claims these oils will to help clear your face by evening out the redness of the blemish.

Is Origins Spot Remover Anti Blemish Treatment Gel Safe?

Origins spot remover uses Salicylic acid to “zap” acne away.  It is this chemical that causes said “tingling sensation.” I believe calling this reaction a tingling sensation to be an understatement. Many customers have reported far worse sensations, from stinging to burning.  Some say that it is so painful that anyone with sensitive skin should not use it.  This sensation will only last 30 seconds or so, but is very uncomfortable.  Others have reported dark blotches after using the gel.  These are red flags to me, saying this probably isn’t the ideal method to fighting acne.

What is Origins Spot Remover Anti Blemish Treatment Gel Company Policies?

Origins Spot Remover is fairly inexpensive, running $10-12 for 3oz  bottle.  They have no guarantee or return policy, so hopefully you are happy with purchase.

Is Origins Spot Remover Acne Blemish Treatment Gel For You?

This product was designed to eliminate 1 pimple at a time.  It would be ideal for those who don’t suffer from continual breakouts, as it has no preventative care or long term treatment in it.  Don’t overlook that it does contain the harsh chemical Salicylic acid, which causes a burning sensation when applied; this can also cause excessive redness, drying, and irritation on the skin.

I do like the inexpensive price; however I feel that the use of unsafe ingredients outweighs a great price tag.   If you chose to try Origins Spot Remover Acne Blemish treatment gel, don’t forget that they do not have a return policy. I would recommend checking out the top rated products we have found.  Ones that use safe ingredients, are a good value for your buck, and actually have a lifetime money back guarantee!

How does No! No! Skin Work?

No! No! Skin, which is created by the company Radiancy, has created an innovative and very convenient method to fighting acne. Say good bye to the messy creams and lotions, and say hello to this innovative acne fighting instrument. The No! No! Skin acne fighting tool uses a patented Light and Heat Energy (LHE) technology that you point onto each individual pimple. You hold it there for 10 seconds, and then move onto another spot. And it’s just that easy. This long waited for product, is supposed to be an effective spot treatment for getting rid of pimples on your face, shoulders, back, and/or neck. This is similar to the instruments that Dermatologist use.

With the FDA’s approval, this new acne fighter light source sounds like what we have all been waiting for.  Does it provide long term results, does it help to prevent further acne from appearing, and does it actually work? With further research I have found the answers to these important questions.

Does No! No! Skin Use High-Quality Ingredients?

The No! No! Skin instrument uses light and heat pulses to target and eliminate pimples.  This is called Light and Heat Energy (LHE) technology.

Is No! No! Skin Safe?

No! No! Skin will leave a red blotchy like mark wherever it is used.  This marking can last for 30 minutes to 1 hour before fading.  If you have sensitive skin beware that the light and heat source that No! No! uses (Light and Heat Energy LHE- technology) will transfer directly to your pimple, and will feel extremely hot, some people will not be able to tolerate this feeling.  While many customers were unable to use this product due to the heat and pain it causes. Other customers were satisfied with it, claiming it helped to quicken the time a pimple would last, typically cutting the healing time in half.

This is a relatively new product, with no long term studies.

No! No! Skin Company Policies

No! No! Skin will cost you a pretty penny.  The cheapest I have found this instrument to be is $180.  With no return or guarantee.  You can try it free from them, by paying a $14.95 shipping fee. After 30 days you can return it, or purchase it with 4 payments of 44.99.

Is No! No! Skin For You?

This might be what you are looking for, if you have clear skin with the occasional pimple.  It’s not suitable for white heads and blackheads or severe acne, but anyone and everyone else, can give this a try. Keep in mind that this product is not designed to help your skin in the long term.   It will not help control oil levels or fight off bacteria on your face.  Essentially this will not help keep your skin moisturized and healthy. Creams and medicines applied topically to your face will provide this help as well as killing acne, to keep acne under control you need both acne fighting methods, preventative and the ability to treat current outbreaks.

How does Neutrogena’s Skin ID Work?

Neutrogena has created an innovative and personal approach to fighting acne.  Aside from visiting an esthetician or dermatologist, this is as close as you will get to a unique, made for your specific skin, acne treatment.

Neutrogena’s Skin ID, essentially diagnoses your skin type and skin needs via an online survey.  Once the survey is complete, they have the information needed to analyze your skin type and needs.  Then Neutrogena Skin ID compiles a product package specifically for you.  I like this idea, it seems like a great method to treating acne. Neutrogena products are well known, however, are they well known for providing safe and powerful acne treatment or simply for commercials and ads with well known celebrities.

Does Neutrogena’s Skin ID Use High-Quality Ingredients?

Neutrogena’s Skin ID active ingredients are Benzoyl peroxide and Salicylic Acid, while these chemicals are known for their acne fighting capabilities, they are also known for their side effects.

• Benzoyl Peroxide: works by destroying oils and bacteria on the skin. Because it is so powerful, Benzoyl peroxide will kill both good and bad bacteria.  Unfortunately this leaves nothing left to fight infections.

• Salicylic Acid: fights acne by exfoliating away dead skin cells, as well as penetrating the pores of the skin. This allows the dead skin cells to keep the follicles clear. This is a very harsh chemical, although it is capable of treating acne, it also has harmful side effects: irritation, dryness, redness, burning, peeling of the skin, facial swelling, and itching.

Is Neutrogena’s Skin ID Safe?

With the two main ingredients known to possibly have such negative effects on the skin, I cannot comfortably label Neutrogena’s Skin ID as “safe.”

Neutrogena’s Skin ID Company Policies

Fortunately Neutrogena does offer a money back guarantee.  If you are unhappy with their product for any reason, they will let you return the used portion for a refund.

Is Neutrogena’s Skin ID For You?

While the approach of Neutrogena’s Skin ID skin care system is unique, I believe the results will be nothing but average.  I like the idea of finding something that will work with your specific acne and skin trouble, Neutrogena’ Skin ID doesn’t seem to meet up to these expectations.   The theory is good, but the products must contain safer and better quality ingredients.    The price is relatively affordable, and they do offer free shipping on orders over $50 (this can only be purchased online, not found at your local drug store like other Neutrogena products),  simply getting a lot of product for a good price, doesn’t justify using dangerous chemicals on your face. To sum up this Skin care system, I would say it is not safe or effective.  While you are free to try it, and buy it knowing you will get a refund, I don’t think you should put your face through the trauma it is likely to experience. GetAcneTreatments.com top rated products are safer and many are sold at better prices than the Neutrogena Skin ID.

How does Murad T-Zone Pore Refining Gel Work?

Dermatologist Dr. Howard Murad is the mastermind and the creator of the Murad skin care line.  Hoping to create a product that could gently exfoliate the face, Murad produced the T-Zone Pore Refining Gel.  I don’t question that dry, dead, skin cells do clog pores, and your face could benefit greatly from a gentle exfoliation.  But is this the exfoliate you’re looking for?

Murad T-Zone Pore Refining Gel combines Glycolic and Salicylic Acids, to provide said exfoliation. This patented gel formula claims to even out oil production and thus give you a healthy glow. Ideally this exfoliate would gently scrub away dry surface cells to clear pores and remove minor skin imperfections.  Is Murad’s T-Zone Pore Refining Gel what you’re looking, read on and find out?

Does Murad T-Zone Pore Refining Gel use High-Quality Ingredients?

• Glycolic and Salicylic Acids: This acid combination is patented by Murad, and is designed to exfoliate dead skin cells. Salicylic acid is known to be a very harsh chemical, often irritating the skin.  Side effects of this acid range from redness and dryness to possible swelling and fatigue.

• Retinol:  known to be one of the ingredients that can truly improve skin structure and texture, and overall smoothness. Retinol will assist skin cells to create new, healthier skin cells. For the Retinol ingredient to be effective and do what it claims there has to be a large enough percentage, often times skincare ointments fall short of containing enough Retinol to make a difference.

• Pomegranate Extract: Murad claims that this extract will help protect your skin from free radicals.  While Pomegranate extract is an effective and well known antioxidant, there is no research showing its benefits on skin.

Is Murad T-Zone Pore Refining Gel Safe?

Murad T-Zone Pore Refining Gel uses a patented blend of Glycolic and Salicylic Acids, said to exfoliate the skin.  These chemicals are known to be very harsh on skin, irritating it, causing redness, swelling and itching.  While using Pomegranate extract sounds great and trendy, there is really no known benefit to the skin this extract provides, as little research has been documented.

Murad T-Zone Pore Refining Gel Company Policies

Murad does offer a 60 day money back guarantee, which is good, however all of our top rated treatments, here at GetAcneTreatments.com  have a Lifetime Money Back Guarantee.

Is Murad T-Zone Pore Refining Gel For You?

While everyone needs an exfoliate, I’m not sure Murad T-Zone Pore Refining Gel is what you are looking for.  With the harsh chemicals it contains, you are likely to experience uncomfortable side effects, as stated previously: redness, itching, swelling, dryness and even fatigue. The price is fairly reasonable at $40 for a 2oz bottle; however I don’t feel a moderate price tag justifies such a risky product.  For a similar price and some even cheaper, we have seen far better solutions for your acne troubles, with safer ingredients, and better return policies.

Kombucha is a Russian fermented tea, and some ‘claim’ that kombucha  improves skins elasticity, but these claims have never been verified. To date, no human trials have been reported that verify any of Murad’s claims.

Murad Acne & Wrinkle Reducer uses relatively safe ingredients. If you have sensitive skin you may want to pass since salicylic acid can cause some major irritation, swelling and redness.

Is Murad Acne & Wrinkle Reducer For You?

If you are thinking about giving Murad Acne & Wrinkle Reducer a try, we suggest re-thinking. Murad has irritating ingredients, and their active ingredients are also questionable. Why doesn’t Murad release more details and scientific data on there collagen building Kombucha Collagen Defense? What are they trying to hide? At rougly $60 per 2 oz, Murad comes at a hefty price. We have seen much better acne treatments for a fraction of the price and a better return policy.
