Product Details New! Significantly Better & Faster than Proactiv® plus 4X more powerful!* Severe Acne Treatment System with Time-Released 10% Benzoyl Peroxide * Retinol Accelerates Healing Fast - Improvement in Just Days Attacks the 3 Stages of Severe Acne Formation Stops New Outbreaks 24/7 The most powerful dermatologist-preferred acne-healing medicine available without a prescription. "Severe to Clear" starts the Next Day - Guaranteed!" Contains: Step 1- Antibacterial Cleansing Wash 4 FL.oz. (118mL) Step 2 - Corrective Toner  4 FL.oz. (118mL) Step 3 - Maximum Strength Repair Lotion 2 fl.oz. (59mL) Step 4 - Retinol Renewal Complex 1.0 fl.oz. (30mL) Maximum Acne Fighting Power.  So even severely troubled skin can look clear & healthy!  University Medical's Acne Free Clear Skin System, the sensational acne-fighting program used and trusted by millions, is now available in this 4-step Severe Acne Treatment System, with Maximum Strength Time-Released 10% Benzoyl Peroxide and Retinol. It has been developed specifically for people of all ages and skin types who suffer from severe on-going acne and who have tried traditional prescription and over the counter treatments without success. Exclusive time-released formula attacks the 3 stages of severe acne formation 24 hours/day Keeps pores clear of the impurities that cause acne: dried oils dead skin cells bacteria Fights acne at all points of its progression so acne lesions & blemishes can virtually disappear Encourages even the most troubled or damaged skin to look radiantly blemish-free & healthy The 3 harmful stages of acne breakouts Stage 1: Skin glands overproduce an oily substance called "sebum". Stage 2: Dead skin cells accumulate to cause a blocked pore. Stage 3: Common skin bacteria break down the sebum & cells within the pore. This leads to the inflammation, infection and eruptions that are called "acne". Do I have severe acne?  Dermatologists would agree if: you have more than ordinary breakouts or pimples, or if your skin suffers from extreme inflammation, pus-filled pockets, crusting or lesions. Or blackheads and whiteheads that never seem to go away. Residual effects from these conditions can cause long-term scarring and "pock marks". Step 1: Antibacterial Cleansing Wash Refreshing lathering cleanser rapidly kills acne bacteria and clears away dead cells, yet is formulated to be especially gentle and non-irritating. Step 2: Corrective Toner Deficiencies in acne-troubled skin can cause infections to enlarge, last longer and heal more slowly. this corrective toner helps normalize skin functions and rebalance the chemistry within the skin's surface for faster healing. Step 3: Maximum Strength Repair Lotion Maximum 10% Benzoyl Peroxide formula works 24/7 to kill the bacteria that breaks down sebum and cells to cause acne. By continuously releasing Benzoyl Peroxide into affected pores, acne bacteria are killed and prevented from reforming! Helps promote the repair and healing of existing infections Blocks new outbreaks by helping reduce sebum production Step 4: Retinol is one of the most active forms of Vitamin A (which prevents bacteria and enhances skin integrity) and one of the few vitamins that can be absorbed into the skin. Our exclusive conditioning complex stimulates cell turnover for healthy skin renewal, particularly at the sebaceous glands where dead cells cause blocked pores and result in acne. Hyaluronic Acid, a component of Retinol, has a super-moisturizing action that helps skin look softer, fuller and healthier. With University Medical skin care technology, skin quality is actually improved!

Love this product!

"I've used about every product made for acne - including ProActiv. This kit is awesome & I will definitely continue using it. I was drawn to this kit as it contained the retinol complex lotion. I am 29 and while my skin was clear as a teenager, I began getting acne in college & continue to struggle with it, along with what I consider "uneven skin tone & texture" and just lackluster skin. I heard retinol was goo..." Read Full Review »

"This did absolutely nothing. You're better off getting a salicylic acid face wash, using benzoyl peroxide during the day and Retin-A at night. The benzoyl peroxide in the lotion is clumpy and leaves a residue on your face that's visible. The retinol does nothing. The face wash doesn't remove make-up so you have to wash again with something else and the toner you can get at [...] for 3$...." Read Full Review »
