Summary: This program works, but use it in moderation.
Comment: I struggled with acne for 17 yrs, and the program outlined in this book gave positive results in less than one week. It has even made those dreaded "cystic" ones a thing of the past. However, I do agree that it is a fairly harsh regimen. I would consider my skin to be VERY durable and not irritated easily at all; yet at about the two week mark, my skin started to peel and get really dried out.
My suggestion to anyone wanting to give this a shot is to use the full protocol sparingly when first trying it out (perhaps every other evening) or try what another reviewer suggested and slowly add each component to your cleansing ritual. I personally use a 2% salicylic wash by Neutrogena every AM and on every other PM (like I said, I have tough skin). On the evenings I don't use the salycylic wash, I use an extremely mild soap and will alternate between using the glycolic acid and the benzoyl peroxide.
Sounds confusing? Well, it takes a bit of commitment to keep it straight, but the results are very much worth it. Up until about 4 months ago when I started this, I had no idea what it was like to wake up in the morning and not dread looking at what had sprouted up overnight. Another reviewer commented that it was difficult to find the acids - I had to go to a skin care specialist to get mine. However, I have noticed that sephora.com sells glycolic acid by several different makers; sephora is on the pricey side, so you might want to look around some more.

Summary: I was a pimple poper - now I have no pimples to pop!
Comment: I have been fighting acne for too long. As such I was hesitant to pick up this book when it caught my eye in a local bookstore (I wasn't looking for any more help. I had resigned looking for an acne cure and was mercifully placing my skin in the hands of my dermatologist - which by the way, wasn't helping). As I began perusing the book, I realized I already had all the recommended products at home, so why not give this regime a try? Just a different way of using them...and adding ice (which by the way make so much sense and is such a relaxing part of my new routine). Well, one week into the six week program, everyone is commenting on how clear my skin has become! It's easy, and it works...

Summary: Didn't work for me
Comment: Book promises -the end- of acne problems, even severe acne cases, I followed carefully and did not work for me.
The "solution of acne problems" proposed by this book are three basic procedures which are:
Salicilic acid based soap, Glycolic acid, and Benzoil peroxide products. And some tips -like use ice on affected areas- to avoid pimples inflamation
all this in the first and second chapters
The rest of the book is dedicated on how to keep a healty skin
(using minerals like zinc, antioxidants, and other things we know)
My advice is: save your time and your money
