I have suffered from acne since middle school; it went from mild to severe after I turned 13. But since then, I have used every product that you can think of and they either made my acne worse or gave me horrible dry skin, but still I tried. If you have or currently suffer from acne, then you have probably tried everything. I am that person who has tried everything both prescribed and over the counter. I have tried everything from Nature’s Cure, Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, Proactiv, Skin ID, Murad, Olay, and finally Max Clarity. I have to say that I was not particularly impressed with Max Clarity. The ingredients in it made my flare ups even worse. Max Clarity was not the acne medicine for me and I would not recommend it to individuals who have combination skin, like me.
Having combination skin is a nightmare for the individuals who have it. Some days you may wake up with very oily skin and a few breakouts and other days you may wake up with very dry peeling skin with some flare ups. With combination skin you will never know what to expect; however, you must always be prepared for whatever you skin throws at you. You must have an acne system that will work for you, whether you have oily skin, dry skin, or both combined. Not all acne systems are appropriate for every skin type, so it is very important to try them out and choose the right one for your skin. I have tried everything out there and settled on one system that is great for my skin (Zeno). Using Max Clarity was my second to last resort and it did nothing to help with my breakouts, instead they got even worse. I used the Max Clarity system for about 2 weeks with no results except for the dry skin to the point where it was peeling off and very red and even bleeding in some spots. It felt as if I had gotten sunburned, and I am African American and do not burn in the sun. With that said, here is some information regarding Max Clarity.

Like I stated above, everyone’s skin is different and different acne products will affect each person differently. I personally have had a horrible experience with Max Clarity which I tried only once and it made my flare-ups even worse. The chemicals in this system were a bit too much for my skin type.
