Ever since I was in high school I have dealt with acne. I have tried everything for it, from Neutrogena, Clean and Clear and even a doctor prescribe benzoyl peroxide topical cream. Finally I decided to be an esthetician and came across [Cinta Aveda Institute](https://cintaaveda.edu/). I had never used Aveda products, so when I saw that they had an acne line ([Outer Peace Acne Relief](http://www.aveda.com/product/5242/16591/Collections/Outer-PeaceTM/Outer-Peace-Acne-Relief-Kit/index.tmpl)) and an acne facial I was really excited. After trying both of those combinations together my skin has been better than ever and healthier too. I have learned that there is no cure for acne but it can be treated.

[Outer Peace Acne Relief](http://www.aveda.com/product/5242/16591/Collections/Outer-PeaceTM/Outer-Peace-Acne-Relief-Kit/index.tmpl) Product Descriptions:

1. Cleanser : Cleans deep into pores—dissolving oil, makeup and other impurities—without irritation or over drying skin
2. Acne Pads: Cleanses, exfoliates, unclogs pores—to help wipe out blackheads and prevent new breakouts.
3. Acne spot relief: Eliminate breakouts—and the bacteria that lead to more—while reducing redness and swelling. Ideal when extra help is called for.
4. Lotion: Helps clear blemishes—and keep oil under control—while shrinking the look of pores. Balances moisture, so skin’s not over dry or shiny.

My results:

- I follow this 4-step skin care regimen once in the morning and once at night. It doesn’t dry my skin at all. It leaves it smooth and feeling refreshed. I must say I truly love these products and so does my skin. If you have dealt with acne and nothing is working I would definitely try this line.

Tip:

- like with all skin care regimens you must follow a strict regimen to get the best results. It might be a little more expensive than drugstores acne regimens but its worth the price.
