International Rosacea Foundation Endorses Acne-Ltd

According to the International Rosacea Foundation,among the many zinc based products on the market today, very few have been found that address the issue of acne without further aggravating the existing rosacea condition or as in the case of some products resulting in damage to the skin leading to rosacea. Among those treatments on the market today which address these issues without further damaging the skin is acne-ltd.

Exploring The Possible Connection Between Acne, Iodine And Milk

Dermatologists seem to agree that something in milk and dairy products may be linked to teen-age acne.

But is it hormones and "bioactive molecules," as a study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology suggested, or is there something else?

University at Buffalo dermatologist Harvey Arbesman, M.D., says there could be something else: Iodine.

Arbesman, a UB clinical assistant professor of dermatology and social and preventive medicine, details his reasoning in a letter published in the "Notes and Comments" section of the current (December) issue of the journal.

"It has been well-established since the 1960s that iodine intake can exacerbate acne," said Arbesman. "Nevertheless, various studies have shown there is still a significant level of iodine in milk in several countries, including the U.S., Britain, Denmark, Norway and Italy.

"Farmers give their cows iodine-fortified feed to prevent infection," he noted, "and they use sanitizing iodine solutions on their cows' udders and milking equipment. Consequently, there is lot of iodine in dairy products. For that reason, I've advised my acne patients for years to decrease their dairy intake."

Arbesman suggests the connection between acne and dairy products observed in the study could be secondary to the iodine content of the dairy products. "More importantly," he said, "the connection could be a combination of hormones and iodine."

It's important to bring the iodine connection to the fore to encourage the dairy industry to address the issue, Arbesman said. He suggested that future studies on the relationship of milk products and acne should consider the role iodine content may play.

Controlling Acne Flares

Acne-Ltd has done a great job at controlling my acne. I find my skin-tone is more even with much less overall redness. My pimple outbreaks have been reduced by approximately 85%. New outbreaks seem to be less intense and clear up more quickly. I have been very satisfied with the Acne-Ltd Treatment and will absolutely continue to use it.

Defining Acne Rosacea

The earliest written reference to "acne rosacea" appeared in an English acne medical text by Dr. Thomas Bateman in 1812, who stated that: "The perfect cure of adult acne and for acne rosacea is, in fact, never accomplished." Other 19th century references commonly listed acne rosacea among the various forms of acne. Dermatologists now know that rosacea is a different skin condition from acne, and that treatment for acne can often make rosacea worse. Yes, sometimes acne and rosacea often are found in 82% of patients.

Knowledge is Power in The Treatment of Acne

When it comes to an effective acne treatment, knowledge is power. Acne treatment can be achieved naturally without using harsh acid chemicals. Your main goal of acne treatment is to heal the skin and keep it healthy to prevent pimples or adult acne, etc. For the vast majority of people with acne, effective treatment can minimize expense and embarrassment while beautifying the skin. Alternative therapies continue to gain new respect in acne treatment. One such alternative therapy is Acne-Ltd.

Acne-Ltd III will improve the appearance of acne without the negative side effects of Accutane, antibiotics, or retinoid acne medications which have been a mainstay in the treatment of acne for many years. The wide range of treatments available for acne illustrates this. Initial studies performed on test subjects with acne demonstrate and 98 percent of previous Acne-Ltd III users confirm that Acne-Ltd III will improve the beauty of facial redness (erythema) and acne pimples and pustules.

Acne by Any Other Name is Still Acne

Whether you call it acne, adult acne, acne rosacea or acne vulgaris one thing remains constant, the desire to get rid of acne through treatment, control and management of your acne condition.

Acne Inducing Cosmetics and Haircare Products

Certain cosmetics and hairstyling products do have the ability to induce acne – this is called acnegenicity. These can cause both blackheads and whiteheads (comedones), as well as pustules and papules.
Pustules appear a day or two after the offending cosmetic has been used – comedones appear later.
Those with acne often have to change the cosmetics they are using, especially if there is a sudden visible deterioration in the skin. It is also possible that something that you have used for months without any problems, can suddenly start to irritate your skin.
If you have ever had acne, all cosmetics you use, including foundation, blush, moisturizers and eye shadow should be oil free.
Check with your dermatologist before starting to use any new cosmetic. They may be able to tell you in advance about the acnegenicity of the particular brand of cosmetic, especially if the cosmetic itself does not indicate whether it is noncomedogenic (doesn't cause acne)
All cosmetics should be used very sparingly by anyone who has or has had acne.
When removing cosmetics, gentle cleansers, or plain soap and water, should be used – no harsh scrubbing.
Even if a particular cosmetic has been recommended for use, stop using it if your acne suddenly becomes worse. Everybody's skin is different, and what works for one person may not work for another.
Some cosmetics can make your skin excessively dry, flaky or itchy – avoid those. All skin irritants can make your acne worse.

Acne-Ltd is Fantastic!

I have been using Acne-LtdIII since april'05 and its fantastic. I have had
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for many years and have always had problems with my skin breaking out and being very slow to heal. I have tried
'everything' without any success...but this product 'really works' and I only have to use it once a day now. Its easy to order online and comes so
fast even though I live in Australia. Try it you wont be disappointed.

Vitamin Supplements For Acne Control

Some vitamins and minerals work better than others to control or improve acne. A few to consider adding to your daily acne treatemnt regimine include:

Vitamin A (aka Retinoids) : Helps to prevent dry, flaky skin; reduces lines and wrinkles; anti-aging properties, helps reduce stretchmarks; helps to treat acne. It can be used topically, as a supplement, or gotten from your diet. It can be found in your diet in such things as eggs, organ meats, whole milk dairy, carrots and broccoli. Unless you suffer from a deficiency, topical use is best when treating the skin, as megadoses are not wise.

B-complex : The B vitamins as a whole help prevent dermatitis and hair loss, treat stress and depression, as well as helping with acne, eczema, and psoriasis. They are absolutely necessary for proper skin (and hair) nutrition, as they form the basis of skin, hair, and nail cells. They can be used topically, taken as supplements, or found in your diet. In the diet, they can be found in such things as bananas, eggs, oatmeal, and rice. Unless you suffer from a deficiency, supplements shouldn’t be necessary, but are not likely to be harmful.

B-1 (aka Thiamine) : Helps to rid the body of toxins. It also has antioxidant properties. Recommended dose if taken internally is around 100 mg 3 times daily.

B-2 (aka Riboflavin) : Essential for healthy hair, skin and nails; helps treat acne. Recommended dose if taken internally is around 100 mg 3 times daily.

B-3 (aka Niacin) : Helps with moisture retention in the skin and exfoliation, as well as helping to treat acne. Recommended dose if taken internally is around 200 mg 3 times daily.

B-5 (aka Pantothenic acid) : Helps with moisture retention in the skin and exfoliation; good for sensitive skin. Recommended dose if taken internally is around 100 mg 3 times daily.

B-6 (aka Pyridoxine) : Important for proper function of the immune system and antibody production. Recommended dose if taken internally is around 100 mg 3 times daily.

B-12 (aka Cyancobalamine) : Necessary for rapidly dividing cells (like the skin). This is a must for vegetarians, but not usually necessary for non-vegetarians, as it is mostly found in meat.

Vitamin C (aka L-ascorbic acid) : Needed for the production of collagen; protects from, and helps repair, sun damage; may reduce under-eye circles; aids in healing; inhibits the buildup of melanin (which can cause discolored ‘spots’); helps with eczema and psoriasis. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant which works well both topically and internally, as well as being found in the diet. In the diet, it can be found in such things as citrus fruits, bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, and leafy greens. If taken as a supplement, the recommended dose varies everywhere from 500 mg daily, to 1600 mg 3 times daily; the ‘average’ seems to be 1000-1500 daily.

Vitamin D : This is a powerful antioxidant and anticarcinogen. However, because the main source of this vitamin naturally is exposure to sunlight, the anticarcinogen properties can get lost amid the other carcinogenic properties of being in the sunlight for long periods of time. You can supplement this topically, but avoid megadoses.

Vitamin E (aka Alpha tocopherol) : Helps to rehydrate the skin; prevents inflammation; protects from sun damage; reduces dry, rough skin; and perhaps most notably, significantly increases the healing rate. Like Vitamin C, this is a powerful antioxidant. It seems to work equally well for general skin care when used topically or taken as a supplement; and, to some extent, can also be found in the diet, in such things as vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, olives, spinach, and asparagus. Avoid megadoses though; while unlikely to do direct damage, it is possible to develop an allergy.

Vitamin K : Helps repair under-eye circles and heal bruises. Best used topically when and where needed.

Alpha-lipoic acid : A powerful antioxidant, that unlike most can penetrate both water and oil, making it more effective for treating skin. It can also greatly increase the efficacy of other supplements, particularly other antioxidants. It can be used topically or taken as a supplement.

Hyaluronic acid : Strong anti-aging and moisturizing properties; keeps the skin looking smoother and younger. It helps to ‘lubricate’ the joints for freer movement in addition to its skin-helping properties.

Essential Fatty Acids (esp. Omega-3 and Omega-5) : Helps reduce the production of irritating skin-oil; also helps treat acne, eczema and psoriasis. These can be taken as supplements or found in the diet. In the diet, they can be found in such things as vegetable oils, fish (such as salmon and tuna), and nuts. Fish oil capsules and Evening Primrose capsules are also good sources.

Chromium : Helps to fight acne and reduce infections. Recommended dose when taken internally is around 150 mcg daily.

Zinc : Helps to promote healing; reduces scarring and acne, as well as treating eczema and psoriasis. Also an antioxidant. Recommended dose when taken as a supplement is around 25-30 mg daily.

THE OCCURRENCE OF ACNE

Acne is the most common skin disease during adolescence and early adulthood. It peaks in females between the ages of 14 and 17 and in males between the ages of 16 and 19. Males are affected more severely than females. Eighty-five percent of high school students will have some acne. Ten percent of those with adolescent acne will continue to suffer from it into their 20’s and 30’s. And sometimes “adult acne” will begin in the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s and later years and continue due to stress and fatigue which can cause increased production of hormones by the adrenal gland with increased levels of androgens. These hormones worsen acne. Six percent of females and eight percent of males in their fifties and later still suffer from acne. Acne affects more than 17 million adult Americans and approximately 60 million adults in other countries.

Basic Acne Terminology

Pustule: White cells of the body respond to the inflammation of the sebaceous gland and form pus.

Inflamed papule: A red bump without an overlying pustule occurs when the inflammation is deeper and not able to point to the surface of the skin.

Cysts or nodules: Avery intense or deep inflammation causes painful, pus-filled cysts which can be as large as half an inch. These heal with a scar due to the depth of the inflammation

Localized cystic: a few cysts on face, chest and back

Diffuse cystic: wide areas of face, chest and back involved

Pyoderma faciale: inflamed cysts localized on the face of females

Acne conglobata: highly inflammatory, with cysts that communicate under the skin with abscesses and burrowing sinus tracts

Acne-Ltd Really Works

I wanted to thank you for a true miracle!! Within days after starting the Acne-ltd protocol, I started to see an improvement. Within one month, I felt like a "normal" person again. I no longer needed to be so self-conscious and wear my bangs long to cover the "acne" and redness on my forehead. My skin healed daily and knowing that this was a treatment composed of natural/restorative ingredients made me all the happier. I had tried so many other allopathic and alternative treatments. This is the one and only one that ever worked. THANK YOU!!! > > Things that really worked --- the extra water, making it ice cold, using compresses in the summer or anytime I feel a flush, the specific bar soap and the Jojoba oil. Friends have asked what I'm using so that they can tell their friends with acne. I'm spreading the word.
Again, I am eternally grateful. Words cannot tell you just how much. By the way, I hardly wear make-up anymore.

Acne-Ltd Adds Sparkle

After 3 months of using Acne-Ltd I have found the product to more than meet the needs of my acne problem. I used various prescribed medications and found them ineffective. Your product truly is an answer to that dreaded issue. I find the medication easy to apply and the cost more than reasonable. You and your partners are highly commended...Thank you.
PS: I'm sure that you have noticed the added attraction you provide. When the NaCl dries you add sparkles to your face when the sun glances across the face...nice touch.

More Advantages of Acne-Ltd

Acne-Ltd III is more than 99 percent sulfur and sodium chloride plus zinc oxide. This means it is free of any carrier or base. Typically, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers such as ethanol, glycerol, sterile alcohol, and glycerylmonostearate are used to place a medication in solution or emulsion form for application. Some of these carriers themselves are irritants to acne. None is used for Acne-Ltd III which means pure conditioning and no added irritations for your skin.


Tests using Acne-Ltd III to study the effect upon test participants frustrated by years of acne treatments showed that members of the Acne-Ltd III test group experienced significant to excellent improvement in skin condition and appearance within two weeks and that the improvements increased for several months.


Some strains of bacteria, usually found in hospitals, have mutated and become resistant to known antibiotics. Bacteria, like all life forms, follow the simple rules of natural selection. Chance genetic changes that help an organism survive and reproduce in a challenging environment will be passed down to its progeny and thus become more prevalent. Bacteria cells can reproduce every 20 minutes; therefore, genetic change is very quick for them. Since even the most common bacteria become resistant to antibiotics within 2 to 3 months, acne sufferers face repeated trips to the dermatologist for new antibiotic prescriptions. Darwinism, or "survival of the fittest," has created superbugs which cannot be killed by normal antibiotics. Using Acne-Ltd III may reduce the need for antibiotics since skin stays clean, toned, and in a better condition to naturally resist infection. Help guard against resistant bacteria and keep the strong antibiotics for emergency situations.

The Advantages of Acne-Ltd

Acne-Ltd III is simple and fast to use. It will take you about as long to apply as lipstick, and significantly less time than brushing your teeth. After washing the affected areas -- simply leave your face wet -- and glide Acne-Ltd III over your face and neck.


At $48.00 for one disk that will last approximately six months, Acne-Ltd III is very inexpensive and delivers big results for an investment of $0.24 per day. You may wish to compare this investment in your skin with your past cost per year.


Acne-Ltd III makes a visible difference within 30 minutes.


Acne-Ltd III has no known side effects. In addition, Acne-Ltd III keeps skin from drying or reddening, a common problem in acne sufferers. Unlike azelaic acid, which can lighten the skin, Acne-Ltd III causes no hypopigmentation. Likewise, Acne-Ltd III does not interact with drugs, which allows complete freedom in treating any other medical conditions.

Treatment With Acne-Ltd

Acne-Ltd III is formulated so that it will not cause blackheads (non-comedogenic). Acne-Ltd III improves the skin tone leaving your skin smoother and healthy-looking. Many acne medications leave the skin dry and irritated, because they cause the surface skin cells to flake or peel off (exfoliate). Acne-Ltd III contains an agent that moisturizes the skin to maintain a proper level of vital water content and the proper pH (acid-alkali balance) for the skin.

Goals of Acne-Ltd III:

Create optimum skin tone and texture
Soothe irritated dry skin
Condition skin to improve the appearance of redness
Reduce the appearance of blemishes and blackheads
Acne-Ltd III is sold and mailed to any country of the world.

The Benefits of Zinc in Acne Treatment

Topically applied zinc has been used for decades by various medical physicians for the treatment of inflammatory acne. They have used zinc either as the primary ingredient or in conjunction with other anti-acne medications. Currently, zinc is found in several different active forms in hundreds of over-the-counter skin care products and anti-acne medications. Topically applied zinc has been shown to have a potent anti-septic effect (Drs. Provost and Farmer). More specifically, evidence suggests that zinc has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal actions, as well as mild anti-inflammatory actions (Drs. Rock, Wilkinson, and Ebling).

How Does Acne Ltd Work?

(1) Acne Ltd is anti-inflammatory, thereby reducing redness (better than antibiotics which your body becomes immune to after 3-5 months).

(2) Acne Ltd is a vascular constrictor, so it reduces the size of the capillaries that cause redness and flushing (on which antibiotics have never had an effect).

(3) Acne Ltd dehydrates bacterial cells.

(4) Acne Ltd has a pH of approximately 7 (neutral). Many oral and topical treatments for acne are very acidic, which often makes for a continual problem for many acne sufferers and especially so in pregnancy and breast feeding.

What is Acne-Ltd?

ACNE LTD III is not a magical potion, nor is it a permanent cure for acne (acne is a skin disorder that can be placed into remission, or limited; thus the name Acne Ltd). Acne Ltd is an extremely effective treatment system that significantly alleviates most of the symptoms associated with acne. Now in our eighth year of operations, our improved third version of Acne Ltd has been used by thousands of acne sufferers throughout the world who have benefited from the results of our patented acne formula.

What is Acne Rosacea?

The earliest written reference to "acne rosacea" appeared in an English medical text by Dr. Thomas Bateman in 1812, who stated that: "The perfect cure of acne rosacea is, in fact, never accomplished." Other 19th century references commonly listed rosacea among the various forms of acne. Dermatologists now know that rosacea is a different skin condition from acne, and that treatment for acne can often make rosacea worse.

ACNE-LTD

Whether you call it acne, adult acne, acne rosacea or acne vulgaris one thing remains constant, the desire to get rid of acne through treatment, control and management of your acne condition. The successful treatment and management of acne, acne rosacea, acne vulgaris and adult acne can be accomplished through an understanding of the various medications and treatments used in the control of adult acne, rosacea, acne rosacea and skin conditions that co-exist with acne, such as lupus, eczema, psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. The information on acne, acne treatment, and acne-related lifestyles available at Acne-Ltd.com can help in the treatment of acne and acne rosacea. Acne sufferers who modify their lifestyles can experience a greater degree of acne clearing. Acne prevention and skin care involves the treatment of the symptoms of acne. In the treatment of the acne symptoms that are most visible and distressing, one must always seek a solution to their acne by treating the cause of acne! If we find and treat the cause of adult acne, then the symptoms of adult acne can be managed through proper acne control! Positive acne skin care can lessen the need for harsh, aggressive, and sometimes dangerous acne treatment medication.

Acne -Ltd Treatment System

I've been using the Acne-Ltd treatment system for over a year now with continued excellent results. The advice on the Lifestyles pages makes it possible to minimize the acne flares and breakouts. I have found it is possible to go weeks at a time without the needing to apply the Acne-Ltd disks. Use of Acne-Ltd has made it possible to turn a hopelessly chronic condition into a minor inconvenience.

Factors That Can Aggravate Acne

Factors that can cause an acne flare include: Changing hormone levels in adolescent girls and adult women 2 to 7 days before their menstrual period starts; Friction caused by leaning on or rubbing the skin; Pressure from bike helmets, backpacks, or tight collars; Environmental irritants, such as pollution and high humidity; Squeezing or picking at blemishes; Hard scrubbing of the skin.

Pro-Active Choices in the Treatment of Acne

To take a pro-active approach to acne treatment, it's important to consider what aggravates or exerbates one's acne. In the treatment for your acne condition, it is important to know about acne treatment lifestyle changes. A wide range of lifestyle treatments can give you control over your acne. The goal of an effective acne treatment is to reduce pimples, adult acne, acne rosacea, cystic acne, acne vulgaris, and other acne types.
It is important in the treatment of acne to treat your whole self in as many ways as possible. For the vast majority of people with acne, effective treatment includes lifestyle changes that can help minimize symptoms, reduce inflammation, and maintain normal bodily functions.

Adult Acne Factors

Factors that worsen adult acne include:
Hereditary factors
Increased male hormones found in females
Discontinuing birth control pills
Stress
Oil and grease in some cosmetics
Some medications — cortisone, some anti-seizure medication.

The Differences in Teen and Adult Acne

In the teenage years, acne begins with blemishes on the forehead and around the nose. As you age the acne tends to migrate down your face, often being worse on the chin, jaw and neck in adult females. Breakouts are frequent during the premenstrual period in both teenage and adult acne. Adult acne, however, tends to be more low grade and more chronic. The only good thing about adult acne as opposed to teenage acne is that it comes with a sense of perspective: Adults tend to address the issues because of the cosmetic associations and because it is no longer OK to have acne. Adult acne tends to hit in the 20s and 30s and may continue until menopause. Raging hormones cause adolescent acne. In adult acne, hormones continue to be the culprit, but stress and the environment aggravate them.

Acne-Ltd Controls My Acne

Your product has been just fantastic at helping to control my acne.

My skin condition began as rosacea but over time has become more like acne which develops as a tender spot on my face first, and if I don't get to it with the Acne Limited III right away, degrades to a large, painful pustule with pus. It often occurs as three pustules. At that point it just has to run it's course unfortunately.

I've been following your program for the past five years: washing my face with Cetaphil gentle cleansing soap, applying the LTD III at the first sign of a problem, drinking plenty of water and I've switched to the linear razor reccommended by you. The program works.

I seem to notice outbreaks when I go through periods of high sugar intake and juice (limeade). I can't behave myself all the time.

But that's my story. Thank you very much for a product that actually does what's promised. It's why I've been a faithful user (and cheerleader) for the past five years......David

ACNE-LTD WORKS FOR ME!

My skin is extremely sensitive, and in the past, I've had problems with medications being too strong. I find I don't have to use the Acne-ltd every day and within 45 minutes of my application, everything looks better. I use Acne-Ltd on my chest as well as my face. This is a miracle product, it has been my savior.

Acne Facts

Acne is a condition of the sebaceous glands of the skin. These sebaceous glands surround each hair follicle and produce sebum, an oily substance, to lubricate the hair. Acne usually appears on the face, back and chest. We list the causes of Acne.

Acne can be aggravated by sunlight, stress, allergies, alcohol, spicy foods and extremes in temperatures.

Retinoids at first dry and exfoliate the skin to minimize acne symptoms, but over time they may destroy the skin and cause severe disfigurement: "a flaming red, scaling, papule-covered face". AHA, BHA, and Accutane are examples of retinoids.

The use of antibiotics eventually leads to the development of resistant bacteria.)

Stress aggravates acne and rosacea.

Cigarette smoking aggravates acne and rosacea.

Alcohol provokes acne-related facial flushing (redness) because it dehydrates the body.

My Acne Story

At the age of 30, I thought I was about over my days of having acne. Then almost overnight my face turned into a nightmare. I didn't want to look at it much less have anyone else see it. I went to many doctors and tried most of the treatments that are out there. I would usually see a little improvement and then after a couple of months my skin would be right back to where it started. I can't tell you how many times someone asked my why I let my nose get so sunburned! I found the Acne-Ltd web site and thought I would give it a try. I had nothing to lose, my skin could not get much worse. I have now been using the discs for over 6 months. My face is almost totally cleared up. The redness is totally gone. I am greatful that I don't have to take potentially harmful medications and that I don't have to try and hide my face anymore.

ACNE-LTD REGIMEN IS FANTASTIC

This program has been fantastic. While my outbreaks were limited to 4 or 5 times yearly, they were painful and embarrassing. I've used the ACNE LTD-III program for 9 months now and the improvements both in preventing outbreaks and in stemming those I feel coming on have just been excellent. Retin-A basically did nothing. Benzoyl peroxide only caused more irritation of the skin. But this program has really worked. I will continue to follow the program and would definitely encourage people to try it. Thank you for a great product.

Growing Concerns About Accutane Prompt New Registry

WASHINGTON - Everyone who uses the acne drug Accutane will have to enroll in a national registry, along with every doctor who prescribes it and every drugstore that sells it — tough new restrictions aimed at preventing women from becoming pregnant with this birth defect-causing drug.

The Food and Drug Administration announced the long-anticipated program Friday, more than a year after the agency's scientific advisers urged the extra curbs because repeated safety warnings have failed to stop Accutane-damaged pregnancies.
Both male and female patients will have to enroll in the registry, called iPLEDGE, by Dec. 31 or they can no longer receive Accutane.

Women of childbearing age will have some additional steps: They're supposed to use two forms of birth control, get two negative pregnancy tests before their initial Accutane prescription, and show proof of another negative pregnancy test before each monthly refill.
Women already were supposed to be taking those steps — but using the computerized registry system, doctors and pharmacists are to ensure that that happens. One way: Each month, women will be required to enter into the registry, by phone or Internet, their two contraceptives.

All patients also must sign a document informing them of Accutane's risks, including the possibility that it contributes to depression or suicidal thoughts — a warning that FDA also strengthened on Friday.

But birth defects are the biggest concern with Accutane and its generic version, isotretinoin, medicine that is supposed to be prescribed only for severe acne but that critics say too frequently is given for more minor cases.

Since the drug began selling in 1982, the FDA has reports of well over 2,000 pregnancies among users. The vast majority ended in abortion, but the FDA counts more than 160 babies born with drug-caused defects. Critics note there likely were many more pregnancies because doctors haven't been required to report Accutane-linked pregnancies. Friday's new rules mandate that they do.

If a woman becomes pregnant while taking the acne drug, her baby can suffer severe brain and heart defects, mental retardation and other abnormalities, even if the mother took only a small dose for a short period. That's a risk for 30 days after stopping the drug, too.
Anyone who does get pregnant while taking the drug should stop the pills right away and notify their doctor, FDA warns.

The registry actually opens on Aug. 22, giving time for doctors, patients and pharmacies to understand how it will work before the provisions become mandatory. Wholesalers and pharmacies will have to register starting Oct. 31 or the drug's manufacturers can no longer ship them supplies of the pills.

What Will Acne-Ltd Do For Me?

Acne-Ltd III is formulated so that it will not cause blackheads (non-comedogenic). Acne-Ltd III improves the skin tone leaving your skin smoother and healthy-looking. Many acne medications leave the skin dry and irritated, because they cause the surface skin cells to flake or peel off (exfoliate). Acne-Ltd III contains an agent that moisturizes the skin to maintain a proper level of vital water content and the proper pH (acid-alkali balance) for the skin.

Goals of Acne-Ltd III:
Create optimum skin tone and texture
Soothe irritated dry skin
Condition skin to improve the appearance of redness
Reduce the appearance of blemishes and blackheads

Acne-Ltd III is sold and mailed to any country of the world.

The Advantages of Acne-Ltd

User Friendly: Acne-Ltd III is simple and fast to use. It will take you about as long to apply as lipstick, and significantly less time than brushing your teeth. After washing the affected areas -- simply leave your face wet -- and glide Acne-Ltd III over your face and neck.

Cost Effective: At $48.00 for one disk that will last approximately six months, Acne-Ltd III is very inexpensive and delivers big results for an investment of $0.24 per day. You may wish to compare this investment in your skin with your past cost per year.

Quick results: Acne-Ltd III makes a visible difference within 30 minutes.

No side effects: Acne-Ltd III has no known side effects. In addition, Acne-Ltd III keeps skin from drying or reddening, a common problem in acne sufferers. Unlike azelaic acid, which can lighten the skin, Acne-Ltd III causes no hypopigmentation. Likewise, Acne-Ltd III does not interact with drugs, which allows complete freedom in treating any other medical conditions

WHAT IS ACNE-LTD?

We would like to state that ACNE- LTD III is not a magical potion, nor is it a permanent cure for acne (acne is a skin condition that can be placed into remission, or limited; thus the name Acne Ltd).

Acne Ltd is an extremely effective treatment system that significantly alleviates most of the symptoms associated with acne. Now in our eigth year of operations, our improved third version of Acne Ltd has been used by thousands of acne sufferers throughout the world who have benefited from the results of our patented acne formula.

The key to Acne Ltd III is simplicity. It delivers many well-known and well-documented anti-bacterial and anti-acne ingredients directly to the skin, without the side effects that accompany most acne treatments.

THE CAUSE OF ACNE

The true cause of acne is often unknown. Androgens (hormones) can trigger acne in those predisposed. Plugging of hair follicles by a protein known as keratin causes the formation of so-called whiteheads and blackheads, which form when the plugged sebaceous glands within the hair follicles continue to secret sebum (an oily secretion). Sebum and skin cells cannot exit, thus accumulating in mass, causing the follicle to swell. If the swelling continues, it may rupture, allowing the surface bacteria (normally found on the skin) to enter and cause local infections or pimples. The pimples may then enlarge and form cysts. Irritation by inflammatory fatty acids within the plugged follicles, and an overgrowth of the bacteria Proprionibacterium together contribute to the process of acne formation. Other causes that may trigger acne include: irritating creams and oils; topical steroid creams; corticosteroid medication taken orally; puberty, certain drugs (e.g., Dilantin, Lithium, birth control pills, steroids), humid/hot weather, supplements (e.g., DHEA), and constant skin friction (e.g., use of motorcycle helmets, telephones) are some of the common risk factors.

Cleansing Acne Skin

Wash your skin with a mild cleanser, at least once in the morning and once in the evening and after heavy exercise. Wash your face from under the jaw to the hairline. Some people with acne may try to stop outbreaks and oil production by scrubbing their skin and using strong detergent soaps and rough scrub pads. However, scrubbing will not improve acne; in fact, it can make the problem worse. It is important that you thoroughly rinse your skin after washing. Astringents are not recommended, instead use a clean wash cloth to gently exfoliate the skin and open the pores. Dermatologists also recommend that patients regularly shampoo their hair. Those with oily hair may want to shampoo it every day.

What is Acne-Ltd?

Acne-Ltd III has successfully been marketed internationally since June 1997.

When applied topically, Acne-Ltd III improves the appearance of acne prone skin. Acne-Ltd III can be used on skin which has been inflamed by acne pimples, acne cysts, blackheads, whiteheads, rosacea and hormone- related acne such as teenage acne, pregnancy acne or peri-menopausal acne.

The ingredients of Acne-Ltd III are zinc oxide, sodium chloride, magnesium stearate, polyethylene glycol, iron oxide, copper oxide, and sulfur (sulfur is used externally only and should not be confused with sulfa which is taken internally only). These ingredients are compressed under 22,000 pounds of pressure per square inch into a very concentrated smooth form for easy application to the facial skin areas.

Acne-Ltd Web Page Highlights

This review is intended to highlight key points from all the Acne-Ltd III web pages; however, if you care to review the original articles, simply click the links in the summary points below.
1. Acne is a condition of the sebaceous glands of the skin. These sebaceous glands surround each hair follicle and produce sebum, an oily substance, to lubricate the hair. Acne usually appears on the face, back and chest. We list the causes of Acne.
2. Acne can be aggravated by sunlight, stress, allergies, alcohol, spicy foods and extremes in temperatures.
3. Retinoids at first dry and exfoliate the skin to minimize acne symptoms, but over time they may destroy the skin and cause severe disfigurement: "a flaming red, scaling, papule-covered face". AHA, BHA, and Accutane are examples of retinoids.
4. The use of antibiotics eventually leads to the development of resistant bacteria.)
5. Stress aggravates acne and rosacea.
6. Cigarette smoking aggravates acne and rosacea.
7. Alcohol provokes acne-related facial flushing (redness) because it dehydrates the body.
8. Lifestyle changes and healthy habits can greatly reduce the redness, pimples, and other symptoms of acne. Recommended lifestyle changes:
Reduce stress.
Drink at least 8 eight-ounce glasses of water (2 liters) per day. Ten to twelve glasses (3 liters) per day is recommended.Water should be icy cold. The hypothalamus, the body's "thermostat", cannot properly regulate temperature (and prevent facial flushing) unless kept cool and supplied with adequate water. Water also hydrates the skin, preventing clogged pores. Increasing your water intake will also help to reduce facial redness and excess oil.
Avoid stimulants such as coffee, tea, tobacco products and excessive sugar.
Avoid alcohol.
Avoid vigorous scrubbing, exfoliants, and other abrasives.
Use the right soap. Most soaps are too harsh for acne-afflicted skin.
Recognize and avoid foods and beverages which provoke an acne-related allergic reaction.
Avoid large meals; eat instead three small meals.
Exercise.
Avoid astringents and astringent soaps.
Change wash-cloths and body towels after each use.
Avoid the sun as much as possible. Sun exposure aggravates acne.
9. Acne-Ltd is simple and easy to use.
10. Acne-Ltd has no known side effects.
11. You can be confident that you run no risk in buying Acne-Ltd.
12. Acne-Ltd effectively improves the appearance of skin affected by acne-related pimples, papules, pustules and facial redness.
13. These are the goals of Acne-Ltd.
14. Scientific articles on acne, acne treatment, and acne-related lifestyle changes.

Acne and The Acidic Lifestyle

Acne results from an overly acidic body and skin. The pH scale (potential of hydrogen) as you remember from your high school general science or chemistry class, ranges from 0 to 14 with 7 being neutral. As you rethink your past acne history, you will see that ‘all’ the acne triggers come from ‘acidic items’ regardless of whether they are foods, drinks, stress, out of breath due to not enough oxygen (alkaline) and not able to exhaust enough carbon dioxide (acidic).

We all know that if we hold our breath for 30 seconds or 60 seconds, we will all notice that our face turns pink or red. We all know, but hardly think that the cause is a build up of carbon dioxide which is an ‘acidic’ gas and we have a shortage of oxygen.

Very similarly, when we exercise for a short period, we have a build up of ‘lactic acid’ which is a body waste which is obviously acidic. Likewise, those with acne need to be very concerned about the build up of acids in our blood stream due to the foods and beverages that we consume. We all know of our triggers such as alcohol, coffee, pizza, candy/cookies, various medications, etc. which all have a pH below 7.0 or is termed acidic.

Our objective therefore should be to balance, buffer or neutralize the acids with alkaline. Water is alkaline with a pH of about 7.3, and likewise more alkaline foods such as more “fresh vegetables and fruits are needed which are alkaline (higher pH than 7.0). Acidic foods and drinks are the problem with a pH of below 7.0 such as coffee at 2.2 and beer averaging 2.0 to 2.5, wines at 3.0, whiskeys/gin/vodka at 4.0 (2 ounces mixed with six ounces of water at 7.3 averages about 6.5 pH or so which is a good drink. The opposite is true when mixed with coke as Soft Drinks have a pH of about 2-2.5 pH. So try hard to minimize the above drinks and delete them entirely if possible while increasing your alkaline foods.

To improve your total body and skin condition, eat and drink 90% of the alkaline foods with 10% meats while avoiding breads, pastas, sugars, desserts, etc. This acidic/alkaline scale is logarithmic; meaning that each number is ten times stronger than the preceding number. For example, a pH of 2 is ten times more acidic than a pH of 3 and one hundred times more acidic than a pH of 4. So you will now be able to more easily understand why an acne sufferer needs to minimize the acidic foods and drinks as it takes so many more alkaline foods and drinks to compensate.

The body has several different ways to ensure that the pH balance stays in the normal range of 7.35 to 7.45. These are referred to as buffer systems. Through normal day to day activity in the body, acids are formed as waste products that need to be neutralized, alkalized, or buffered and eliminated. Some of the acids are released with CO2 from exhaling; others are excreted via the kidneys. With acidic foods and drinks, there is always more carbon dioxide (acidic) while alkaline foods produce much more oxygen (think of your high school classes of the tree, grass, and plants giving off oxygen). These systems work together in the healthy human body to keep the pH level within normal ranges. Sometimes with extreme intake of acidic foods and drinks, the normal system can not compensate and the body becomes even more stressed resulting in more stress hormones which are also acidic in nature causing more of a blush/flush.

Likewise, simple illnesses such as influenza, minor surgery, or emotional and mental stress continue to lower the pH of the body and with more resulting skin blushing and flushing. Almost all medications are acidic except anti-acid medications such as Zantac, Milk of Magnesium, etc.
You can make sure that your water and many foods are alkaline by purchasing pH paper at most drug stores at a cost of $12 to measure the pH of the water, drink or foods. Your urine should be in the 6.6, 6.8, and up to a 7.0 pH range most often as the culmination of the body process. As you can imagine if you drink and eat many acidic foods, the result will be deterioration of the skin, body organs & bones. The adrenal cortex secretes cortisol, a natural body hormone of about 10 mg of cortisol daily, with peak cortisol levels occurring early in the morning and therefore the acne flushing and acne pimples papules will look best in early mornings after this natural anti-inflammatory drug. The hormone that will report back to the original brain centers together with other body organs to tell it to stop the whole cycle. But since cortisol is a potent hormone, the prolonged secretion of it will lead to health problems such as the break down of cardiovascular system, digestive system, musculoskeletal system with resulting osteoporosis and arthritis - rheumatism, and the immune system.

Also, when any organism, system or body does not have a chance for recovery, it will lead to both catecholamine and cortisol depletion. The entire concept is "not to keep" the body in a 'fight or flight' system with stress, stimulation, or the use of 'acidic' food/drinks which you will learn more about on the page entitled "Flushing: Types, Patterns & Systems".

Drinking Water Can Improve Acne

When it comes to an effective acne treatment, knowledge is power. When choosing a treatment for your acne condition, it is important to know about acne treatment lifestyle changes. A wide range of (lifestyle) treatments can give you control over your acne. The goal of an effective acne treatment is to reduce pimples, adult acne, acne rosacea, cystic acne, acne vulgaris, and other acne types.
It is important in the treatment of acne to treat your whole self in as many ways as possible. For the vast majority of people with acne, effective treatment includes lifestyle changes that can help minimize symptoms, reduce inflammation, and maintain normal bodily functions. If you change your lifestyle and eating habits, and therefore reduce your stress level, you'll be even happier with Acne-Ltd III.
When the body becomes stressed from many causes, the adrenal cortex converts adrenal androgens to testosterone in BOTH men and women, resulting in overactive sebaceous glands. The ovaries produce 25% of the testosterone while 75% is converted from adrenal androgens in the normal female. Women only have 10% of the testosterone that men have. Men have thicker skin and muscles than women and can handle much more testosterone obviously. When the male or female body is stressed, the adrenal androgen conversion can almost double the testosterone in both men and women. This causes the T zone of the face to be oily, while other areas are still dry from dehydration. Adult acne and rosacea are sometimes a by-product of stress and/or dehydration. Water and estrogen calm the "body's stress alarm system". The most important element of acne treatment is to keep the skin (body) hydrated.
Water is a most important acne treatment in that it is alkaline (pH 7.3) and can be considered a natural treatment or an almost free acne treatment. Click to the left to read about other ways to treat acne by changing lifestyles.

Acne-Ltd Improved My Skin Condition

When I first ordered the Acne-Ltd treatments my acne was out of control. I had moderate to severe facial redness, pimples and pustules ranging daily from mild to severe.
When I began the treatment, I was very strict with my water intake, food limitations and supplements. When my skin was bad the disks worked wonders. They lasted me for at least two years.
My skin seems to be in some sort of remission at this time thanks to the Acne-Ltd disks. My acne is no longer a problem. I no longer eat right, I don't drink water and I don't take any supplements or take any oral antibiotics, but thanks to the disks, my skin is happy.

Acne-Ltd Really Works Well

Acne-Ltd: What it is and What it Does

The ingredients of Acne-Ltd III are zinc oxide, sodium chloride, manganesium sterate, polyethylene glycol, iron oxide and sulfur (sulfur is used externally only and not to be confused with sulfa which is taken internally only).
Acne-Ltd III battles your acne with a comedolytic (blackhead-eliminating) action. It dehydrates and drains the pores, thus preventing new pimples from forming. Unlike most acne medications, which leave the skin dry and irritated, Acne-Ltd III contains an anti-bacterial agent that moisturizes the skin while fighting bacteria.

Acne-Ltd

Acne-Ltd III is a topical treatment that will help to improve your acne skin condition. The unique thing about Acne-Ltd III is that it kills bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi only in the areas to which you apply it, instead of killing beneficial bacteria throughout the body -- as many other acne medications such as antibiotics do.

Visible Improvement With Acne-Ltd

I noticed an improvement of my skin within 2 weeks of starting to use the Acne-Ltd III Treatment system in November 2001. As of today, I have not had a single flare-up and my skin is clear. I am so grateful to finally find a product that is safe and effective on my skin. I cannot thank you enough. Sincerely, Carolyn Moore

My skin is clearer now

I know the misery of dealing with acne and want to encourage anyone who suffers from it to try Acne-Ltd. I have suffered from facial acne to a greater or lesser degree for 10 years now. I have taken antibiotics, used every topical application going and have lived in fear of a breakout before every special occasion. I came across Acne-Ltd in November 04 on the web and decided to give it a go. After all, the antibiotics were becoming less effective and I was tired of taking them and was reluctant to try Accutane, which was the next step for me. I didn't expect Acne-Ltd to work, but thought I should at least cross it off my list. I have taken Acne-Ltd for 3 months now. My skin is clear and feels entirely different - stable and less bumpy. My skin tone is more even and my facial color less red. Acne-Ltd worked for me, maybe it'll work for you too.

I Found An Acne Product That Works!

I am 32yrs. old and have been suffering from acne since the age of 16! The only thing that worked for me was going on Tetracycline. Well, this last time that didn't even work because I have built up a tolerance to all the antibiotics.
I was at wits end when I decided to give Acne Ltd a try, I thought what the heck, can't hurt to try.
I couldn't believe my eyes, within a few days the pustules were beginning to disappear and the overall redness was greatly lessened. My husband looked at me at commented "boy, that stuff is really working!"
I was so happy to have found something that is topical and nothing I have to ingest. It is dangerous to be on antibiotics for too long.
Well here I am 3 months later with absolutely no sign of acne, yippee!!!! Thank you not only for your incredible product but for all the excellent personal customer service you gave me along the way. It made all the difference in the world.

Acne-Ltd Solves My Acne Problem

After 3 months of using Acne-Ltd I have found the product to more than meet the needs for my acne problem. I used various prescribed medications and found them ineffective.

Acne-Ltd: An Excellent Product

Just wanted to commend you for an excellent product. I have been using ACNE-LTD for 4 weeks and the results have been more than I had hoped for. In addition to using your product I have also followed your lifestyle / diet recomendations (lots of water, no caffeine, limit alchohol and high carbs) and the change is quite remarkable. After 4 years of dealing with this problem, I feel confident that I am finally making some progress. Thanks again. --B. Vogel

Acne-Ltd Works

This product works...... quickly and efficiently.

After years of trying all sorts of other medications from antibiotics (which didn't work but seemed like a good idea at the time) thru topical creams and aloe vera drinks and potions to chinese herbal remedies its great to find something as simple and effective as the acne-ltd product.

How Does Acne-Ltd Work?

The key to Acne-Ltd III is simplicity. It allows for the direct delivery to the skin of many well known and well documented anti-acne ingredients without the usual accompanying side effects.The role of these ingredients is as follows:

Zinc: Topically applied zinc has been used for decades by various medical physicians for the treatment of inflammatory acne. They have used zinc either as the primary ingredient or in conjunction with other anti-acne medications. Currently, zinc is found in several different active forms in hundreds of over-the-counter skin care products and anti-acne medications. Topically applied zinc has been shown to have a potent anti-septic effect (Drs. Provost and Farmer). More specifically, evidence suggests that zinc has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal actions, as well as mild anti-inflammatory actions (Drs. Rock, Wilkinson, and Ebling).

Sulfur: For over two decades, sulfur has been used for the treatment of acne and rosacea. Clinical studies have demonstrated that it is extremely effective in the treatment of papules and pustules (Drs. Ellis and Strawiski). Many dermatologists tailor acne treatments to the individual by varying the concentration of sulfur in a given preparation (from 2 percent to 15 percent sulfur). Acne can be a long-term condition for many sufferers. For this reason Drs. Blom and Hornmark were interested in a non-toxic, topically administered treatment that would be as effective as orally administered drugs such as antibiotics. To date, these medical physicians use topical sulfur as their primary anti-acne treatment. In a double-blind clinical study of 40 acne patients, these physicians found that acne-related papules and pustules responded much better to topical 10 percent sulfur than to oral antibiotics. In fact, they found that with four weeks of topical sulfur treatment, the average number of papules and pustules dropped significantly (from 213 pimples before treatment to 17 pimples after treatment), that this clearing was much better than that attained by treatment with oral tetracycline. In a separate series of clinical studies, similar results were found by Dr. Strauss and colleagues.

Sodium Chloride, Copper Oxide, Magnesium Stearate and Polyethelene Gylcol: These ingredients have long been well known for their anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory actions, by which they reduce redness better than antibiotics, and their vascular constrictor action, which reduces overall facial redness whereas no other products constrict the dilated skin vessels as well as these ingredients do.

Acne-Ltd Produces Impressive Results

I've seen the results that can be achieved with Acne-Ltd and it's impressive! My son had terrible acne but by using your disk and following some of your recommendations, he has seen a 90% clearing of his acne. One added benefit of Acne-Ltd that I never see written about is the boost to his self-confidence that comes with being able to face the world as "just another normal looking face in the crowd".

I suffer from acne. As an adult in the workplace, image and presentation are everything. Controlling one's acne in order to present a professional image is paramount to confidence, success and the portrayal of a competent active. Acne breakouts just don't "fit" into that image.

Like so many others, I've tried many products but the end result was always that my skin was worse. The breakouts never went away, and the harsh chemicals just seemed to further irritate my skin. When I started using Acne-Ltd I was feeling very desperate for a cure - and I believe I have found it!

My breakouts now are minimal and easily covered up. The redness, skin sensitivity and irritation are no longer an issue. This product has given given me the confidence to face the corporate world knowing that when I make a presentation, I will not be pre-judged by appearance but rather the focus will be on what I have to say.

Sincerely,
A. Wilson

Glossary of Acne Terms

Understanding the terminology of acne, adult acne, rosacea, acne rosacea, lupus and dermatitis can make it possible to communicate effectively and have a precise understanding of your acne treatment and medication options. This glossary defines commonly used acne terms, including names of the products and medications used in the treatment of adult acne and skin conditions that co-exist with acne.

Three Acne Causing Factors

1) Abnormal keratinization of the lining of the sebaceous glands caused by androgen stimulation, resulting in plugging of the gland.
2) Increased production of sebum by the sebaceous gland due to androgen stimulation.
3) A bacterium, Propionibacterium acnes, proliferates within the gland and modifies the sebum. Propionibacterium acnes is a bacterium normally found on the skin.

The plugging of the gland and the action of the bacterium cause an intense inflammatory reaction, resulting in a blackhead (open comedone) or a whitehead (closed comedone). The color of the blackhead is due to melanin granules and is not dirt. Continued plugging and inflammation lead to the pustules (pimples), papules and cysts of acne.

Healthy Hints

Lifestyle changes and healthy habits can greatly reduce the redness, pimples, and other symptoms of acne. Recommended lifestyle changes:

Reduce stress.
Drink at least 8 eight-ounce glasses of water (2 liters) per day. Ten to twelve glasses (3 liters) per day is recommended.Water should be icy cold. The hypothalamus, the body's "thermostat", cannot properly regulate temperature (and prevent facial flushing) unless kept cool and supplied with adequate water. Water also hydrates the skin, preventing clogged pores. Increasing your water intake will also help to reduce facial redness and excess oil.
Avoid stimulants such as coffee, tea, tobacco products and excessive sugar.
Avoid alcohol.
Avoid vigorous scrubbing, exfoliants, and other abrasives.
Use the right soap. Most soaps are too harsh for acne-afflicted skin.
Recognize and avoid foods and beverages which provoke an acne-related allergic reaction.
Avoid large meals; eat instead three small meals.
Exercise.
Avoid astringents and astringent soaps.
Change wash-cloths and body towels after each use.
Avoid the sun as much as possible. Sun exposure aggravates acne.

Sulfur in Acne-Ltd

Acne Ltd contains sulfur as a base ingredient. Sulfur is one of the best tolerated topical anti-acne medications for acne skin. It has a much greater action on papules and pustules then the standard OTC products. In addition, sulfur is also indicated for the treatment of the dry flaky patches (seborrheic dermatitis) that often occur from overuse of salicyclic acid and benezoyl peroxide. So Furthermore, the disks sulfur concentration of 1.5% is a great starting dose. People usually respond beautifully to 0.5 to 2% sulfur -- without irritation. However, at higher concentrations (like 5-10%), sulfur may actually cause facial vasodilation, so the key to remember is less is more beneficial.

Acne Ltd: Effective Acne Treatment

Acne Ltd is the first truly effective treatment I have found to control my acne pimples and reduce the accompanying facial redness. With continued use, I have noticed that the outbreaks and flare occur less often and are less intense. Great Product! Great Results!

The Red Face of Acne

Acne sufferers may have more facial blood vessels than the average, or their vessels may be severely damaged. In either case, the result is that the body cannot handle the dilation of facial vessels easily or properly. There are various factors that can cause facial vessels to dilate or contract.

Acne-Ltd Cleared my Acne

Acne-Ltd is a truly remarkable product! After developing adult acne I tried many over the counter products, expensive cosmetic remedies, and dermatologist recommended products only to see my acne worsen. I started searching on the internet to find an alternative method to help with my acne and came across the Acne-Ltd web pages.
Your thoughts that acne starts from within the body, confirmed what I had also felt to be the case.
After ordering your product, I started noticing a definite difference in the amount of oil my face was producing, and the clearing of my acne. My skin looks great!

ACNE-LTD TREATMENT SUCCESS!

I've been using ACNE-LTD for nine months now. This treatment has done more to improve my acne in htis short time than all the years of derm visits and over the counter products.
I have tried so many producst with so many "promises" for a cure. This company never promised a cure, instead they showed me how to improve my appearance and control and minimize my problem to a very managable solution.

Acne-Ltd Reduces Pimples and Facial Redness

I have tried many different brands of acne treatments and none compare to Acne-Ltd. The treatment stays true to it's claims. It doesn't promise anything it doesn't deliver. Acne-Ltd calms and soothes the facial redness and irritation; and reduces the appearence of the pimples.
Also, my skin used to break out fairly often, but since I have been using Acne-Ltd my skin has been clearer than it has in years.
I think your product is amazing. I cannot say enough great things about it. Everyone I know who tries this product absolutely loves it.
I do feel that perhaps you need to do more marketing for this product and your other products in general. I have found that very, very few people are aware of your skin care products.

Acne-Ltd Out Performs Other Acne Products

I started using Acne-Ltd III in February of 2003. I won’t list the name of the product I had used previously but it contained benzyol peroxide and glycolic acid. When I started using the Acne-ltd system, I had pimples, redness, and my skin was irritated and flakey from the product I had been using.

I was very skeptical about trying yet another product, but I felt no company would offer a 120 day money back guarantee if they didn't believe in their product and feel confident of the results!

Well, I lost the pimples, the irritation is gone, the flakiness is improving daily and the only time my face is red now is when I apply blush.

Acne-Ltd is Better!

Thank you for making this product available. My skin looks healthy and clear once again with the results I was only promised by other products.

Rapid Clearing of Pimples

I've been using Acne-Ltd III since the fall of 2002. After the first week of use, I observed a rapid clearing of the pimples and within three weeks Acne-Ltd had visibly reduced the amount of redness. Everyone remarks on the dramatic change in my skin.

Consistant Improvement With Acne-Ltd

Acne-ltd has worked well at improving my skin's texture, as well as acne pimples. My skin is really beginning to look normal again. No pimples or redness and my scars are gradually fading. It may not be a magical "slam it on and the acne's gone" cure all, but then nothing is. Instead I found this treatment to provide a constant, consistant improvement in my skin's condition and appearance.

Acne-Ltd Recommendation

I do not normally write to companies, but your product has improved my skin so much that I had to write and thank you! I live in Los Angeles, and the air pollution combined with a busy lifestyle can really take its toll on my facial skin. I am also outside a lot, so the combination of sun, sand, sweat and sunscreen is also a challenge to the breakout-prone. However, since I started using Acne-Ltd III, my skin has shown much improvement in clearness and tone. Thank you so much for your wonderful product, which I have recommended to all of my friends!
Sincerely,
Carolyn

Acne-Ltd Works!

Acne-Ltd III and the lifestyle changes you recommended have greatly improved my acne. It wasn’t an immediate improvement where you wake up to magically clear skin, but over a two week period the improvement in the appearance and condition of my skin was amazing.

Acne-Ltd Improved My Acne

The Acne-Ltd treatment system has done more to improve my acne than anything I've tried and believe me I think I tried it all. My only regret is that it took me so long to find out about Acne-Ltd. Within the first two weeks of use, my breakouts were minimal and with continued use, my skin has become clear and my skin-tone more even than it has ever been before!
