AMAZING

Quick Take: milky
I have been trying products for years. I had cystic acne on my chin and cheeks. It was painful and horrible looking. They would come in bulk and nothing stopped them. I was told by an employee that this is the one to try and within two weeks every last one was gone. I rarely ever get a pimple now but if I do they are smaller and last far less time than before. This product is amazing for hormonal acne!

Improved my skin with just ONE use!
-04.29.13
I never used to see the point in buying pricey cleansers--the product just goes down the drain almost immediately, right? But after trying a sample of this cleanser one night, I saw results the next morning! My hormonal breakouts are calm and the best part is that my skin looks smoother and more even toned. No more blotchiness! It's been ages since my skin looked this good, I'm amazed at the improvement from just a cleanser! Ordering a full size right now!

Quick Take: milky, makes skin soft
A sephora rep recommended this product to me when I explained my sudden issue with adult acne (hormones) and blemishes. I've been using this for about a week and I am SO happy.
Before applying this cleanser you have to remove your makeup and apply this to your face while dry. This may be negative to some folks (bit unconventional) but I am okay with that. I use a makeup removing wipe, let dry and then massage this product into my skin for about one minuted. Then I remove it with warm water and my Sephora "Precision Pore Cleansing Pad". In the end my skin feels INSTANTLY baby smooth and soft. If you like instant gratification you'll love this.
My breakouts stopped, my skin feels quenched but not oily, this has not irritated my face and a dime size product covers the whole face and neck so the bottle will last a while.
Highly recommend – love it!

Quick Take: milky
OK so I bought this almost a year ago, used it all up. Made my skin feel great, but still breaking out. Switched to a new cleanser but still missed Dermadoctor and the way my face felt when I used it. Finally broke down and bought it again. 3 weeks into using it I got a under the surface big breakout. WHAT!? The product I've been reminiscing about for the past year broke my skin out? It can't be.. But certainly seems that way because it was the only change in my routine. Just be really really careful with this stuff, use it on a small portion of your face and test it out. I used to be a huge fan but now I'm not so sure....

I wrote a review earlier but forgot to mention that the way i get the most out of this product is to squeeze a dime size amount in my hands and apply to my face when its dry, i then let it sit for around a minute and then rinse off!

I have a combination skin which gets oily in the middle of the day. I bought this product because i heard that it might help with hormonal and cyclic acne. since I've been using this product(it's around 2 months) I haven't had any major acne. also I use it with clarisonic and it really helped with my white heads.so give it a try.

Quite good

Quick Take: milky, works
Never had acne in my teens, but got them at 22. Struggled to find good treatment for 2 years. This is the only product that worked for me (better than other acne products).
It cleared up my face well. I use it together with Clinique acne solution toner and this duo works for me.
It is drying, but with good moisturizer and regular exfoliation there is no dryness.
For now, I'm happy and sticking with it.

Quick Take: working good
I wrote a review on Makeupalley previously. This is my second tube. I like it very well. It clears out my clear and now I don't have any pimples at all. Some may not like the stinking sensation when first using it, but I think that just means the product is going underneath your skin and working. So I don't mind the stinking, plus if you use it everyday, you won't feel anything at all. After you raise off, it still has slippery feeling on your skin, not like other product that makes you feel Squeaky Clean. But I don't mind that because its does not dry me out while healing my skin. I will purchase it again.

BEST cleanser for problem skin
-04.01.13
Quick Take: exfoliating, clarifying, purifying
I wish I could give this cleanser 10 stars. I have combination skin and go through periods where my skin is extremely dry then becomes really oily which leads to breakouts. I told a Sephora employee I was looking for an anti-aging treatment that would also combat breakouts, and she encouraged me to try this cleanser. I was hesitant because the cleanser feels too thick and creamy to be good for acne-prone skin, BUT I bought it anyway and it is a miracle! After using it just one time, I noticed a difference in my skin and that same day one of my friends commented how great my skin looked. This cleanser cleans, tones, purifies, and exfoliates (without having any beads or crystals-- no idea how it works, but it does). Highly recommended. I love the serum as well.

BEST CLEANSER FOR CYSTIC BREAKOUTS
-03.26.13
I have used everything on the market, I have very oily, sensitive and acne-prone skin! I've used retin-a with pills, proactiv, acne-free, everything over the counter, all natural based products and was even considering accutane. Nothing worked consistently or right away.
Three months ago I had a bad case of cystic acne on my cheeks and neck, I got a sample of this and it all went away! Three months of bad skin gone in three days! Which is weird because I always thought salicylic acid would do nothing for my skin because I've used benzoyl peroxide and sulfur with minimal results. But the combination of botanicals and acids really soothe and clear any bacteria. I'm in LOVE with this cleanser! If you have a hormonal breakout--reach for this!

i think my acne has stayed at bay after using DD. I only have Aint Misbehavin but will purchase other DD products. I saw a dermatologist for years and this is alot cheaper and works just as well!

Fast Results
-03.24.13
Quick Take: milky, fast acting
I bought this face cleanser last night after i asked a sephora employee what would help clear acne, reduce pore size, and oiliness she recommended that I try this. When i used it, i removed my makeup before hand and then washed my face with this. The consistency is really smooth and almost lotion like and I wasnt too crazy about the scent. But after using it just last night, I woke up this morning and a pimple i had yesterday about the size of jupiter had shrunk down dramatically! and not even kidding, my acne takes forever and a day to reduce in size so I was pretty impressed! I think its worth the $25 dollars especially for the amount you get, and a little really goes a long way. I highly suggest you try this, or at least ask for a sample. Ps. Ive tried almost every drugstore product and this has shown results after just one use.

The only reason I got this was because of the advertised "medicated" on on its label. It seems to do the job, but the smell is the only turn-off about this product.

I don't get a facial as often as I should
-03.10.13
Love this product. The key is to follow the directions and remove your makeup first. Seems so weird to start washing my face dry, but it does make a difference. this cleanser seems to slough off dead skin and manage my oily, acne-prone skin.

Gentle and effective
-03.07.13
Ain't Misbehavin' is a gentle and effective exfoliant. A skincare expert recommended it to me, and she was right! My skin is the softest it has been lately. I have been using this almost every night for 2 weeks. So far, no acne. Typically, I get the occasional persistant blemish, but not yet.

I have extremely oily and acne prone skin. This was highly recommended by the staff, but is not effective. My skin is broke out more now that when I started using it. Going back today to try another face wash.
