When I was sixteen years old, I had horrible skin. Without ever asking for the opinions of others, many would take one look at my skin and offer up tips that made having horrible skin seem much worse – it let me know just how noticeable it was.
To make matters much worse – not only did I have to suffer the ridicule of my classmates, but according to others, I could not even indulge in comfort foods like chocolate and cheese fries. What was there to look forward to?
At the time, I didn’t realize I had inherited a skin condition from my father called cystic acne. I tried nearly every treatment from salt and oatmeal facials – not pleasant – to having my skin baked at a local dermatologist. Nothing seemed to help.
The one thing that worked for me has been caught up in some fairly controversial lawsuits in recent years – so when my teens come to me for answers to their own developing skin problems, I find myself back to trying over-the-counter treatments and natural remedies.
Never wanting my kids to suffer problem skin to the extent that I did, I was so pleased to be introduced to a product that actually works.
I’ve heard Proactiv is a great product, but in as much as it’s a great product, I’ve heard some horror stories about their customer service. It’s just one of those places I never wanted to go.
Natural Beauty, in my opinion, is the best product on the market for problem skin. The changes I’ve seen taking place in two of my teens skin has been amazing. Not only does this product help clear up acne, it also leaves a healthy glow in the aftermath of the war on acne that’s taken place.
The true test of this product wasn’t so much in the product itself, but in the system and directions one must follow. The two teens that tried this skin care system are the two that have difficulties following instructions all the way around. But not with this. It’s a simple regimen that can be implemented into the day of any busy teen.
I’ve watched the self esteem of these two kids strengthen just a bit more each and every day.
I tried to take photos to show before and after examples, but my hobby style digital camera isn’t up to the task. The photos I had to share could not show anywhere near the quality of skin Natural Beauty is capable of producing.
The Skin Care Kit that Gadget Teen has been sampling is The Natural Acne Removal Kit -
This Natural Acne Removal Kit contains:
Penetrating Cleanser
The Natural Beauty Penetrating Cleanser is an oil free cleansing lotion that cleanses the skin without causing dryness. Removes excess oil and dirt from inside pores. Also contains Glycolic, Lactic and Salicylic Acids. The natural way to cleanse skin.
Renewing Xfoliator with Gauze Pads
Renewing Xfoliator is a highly effective superficial peeling agent and pore cleanser. It loosens and removes aging cells, oil and debris attached to the skin surface. It penetrates sebum filled follicles and cleans out clogged pores, resulting in marked improvement in acne prone skin. Regular use of Renewing Xfoliator will also result in a decrease in fine lines, a smoother skin, more even pigmentation and a reduction in pore size.
Gauze Pads:
Cotton gauze, when saturated with exfoliation wash, provides a mechanical abrasion effect, to enhance the exfoliation process.
BlemX
BlemX from Natural Beauty, dries acne overnight. Ever wish you could wave a wand and make that pimple disappear? Instead of wishing, try BlemX.
The Acne Removal Kit is available at Natural Beauty and retails for $65.00.
This would make a great stocking stuffer to any teen or anyone who could use a little natural nudge toward healthier looking skin.

I need to see if my teenager might want to try this. She tried Proactiv and it was working pretty good then that started to break her out. It doesn’t help that she has acne and she is sensitive.
I’ve used Proactive. It works well. It doesn’t irritate your skin. Of course, it’s expensive and there are other less pricey products on the market.
I’m just wondering what was the product that worked for you but was involved in a lawsuit. Having treated medical skin conditions for years, one of the most effective treatment for acne remains roaccutane (a retinol derivative).
Thank you for your great post. enjoyed reading your information
This is a great article on your acne experience, I believe the thing that most people don’t understand is that what works for one person’s skin doesn’t work for everyone.
Some people have different sensitivity levels within their skin and this could lead to further breakout!
nice review. thanks for you post…
Indeed, there is nothing more good than something that was natural. Nice advise
My teen has used this product and it works great with a good diet and healthy detox.
“I’ve watched the self esteem of these two kids strengthen just a bit more each and every day.”
It’s amazing how much our self-esteem is damaged by acne. Looking back, I remember spending an amazing amount of time working on my face and skin.

I am, always have been and always will be a fan of Accutane. It worked for me and I believe if a person goes into it knowing what to expect, the side effects won’t be so overwhelming
thanks for the review. I always tell my friends, male and female, that a good healthy skin is so important to feel well about yourself.
The problem is that most people are not patient enough. Having a skin problem requires some level of patients while trying out treatments. A lot of times, we don’t allow sufficient time to see if the treatment is working or not. The next day, we jump to another form of treatment.
Great review! I´m a big fan of natural and organic scin care and your posts always gets me going!
How can I make my skin soft and beautiful.Is there any natural treatment for that?
Thank you very much , It’s a great aticle for me
Hi my name is jillian and I have really enjoyed your blog , I also had trouble with skin care but I am now a beauty therapist and want to help people with skin and beauty problems cant wait to see more blogs here.
hy I just found your article, I hope theese products can help me get rid of acne, I’m just desperate!
I would love to have the BlemX on hand for those emergencies. I don’t break out that often so I am not always prepared when I do. That sounds like a great product.
I am 38 years old and still get acne from time to time. It is a real bummer when you are one of the 20% of people who retain acne throughout adulthood. I have recently started using a mask that seems to be working but every now and then i will get flare ups for no apparent reason it is annoying. The most damaging part is that I have some black heads and scarring on both cheeks from all the acne over all the years. I will look into your product. Thanks.
This is a fabulous blog post! It feels so great to get a beauty makeover no matter what age you are. I completely agree with you about getting a professional makeover at least once in your life. Keep posting thanks
These products look like they can get the job done! I think the issue with acne and bad skin is beyond what products you use to treat it. Looking after your body with regards to exercise and the types of food you eat will go a long way to making sure your skin is in tip top condition. Combining a healthy lifestyle with natural cleansing products is the way forward!
The problem is that most people are not patient enough. I completely agree with you about getting a professional thinking. Keep posting thanks
It really gives an insight to keep your skin healthy and looking beautiful naturally. Skin rashes that itch is another problem that can be cured with your advice.
Wow, cystic acne is a tough one to treat. Good thing you are able to watch over your children and assist in their acne prevention. Good work!
I will recommend my younger who have acne. She always worried about acne.
It makes her skin better and she will make her boyfriend.
It’s very smart item because they also care skin system!
It really seems that there are people who suffer with acne and very satisfactory results with no drugs and not with proper eating habits and skin care.
The good news is that whenever new options are emerging to fight acne and get rid of this evil that plagues mankind …
