    A waste of money. It didn't manage to help with acne, but it managed to dry out my skin which started to flake. It also caused some red spots and stains on my skin.

    This product along with "Yes to Carrots" changed my skin. For several years I have had extremely dry skin along with hormonal breakouts in the jaw area (cystic acne). I've also started getting...

    Diacneal was one of the first treatments I had ever used as an anti-ageing product (as I am not break-out or acne prone) and I was happy with it, then I decided to step up and use Differin, and...

    Terrible product! It causes more and more breakouts as you use it.

    This product is a HG for someone who has breakouts or for someone who is trying to repair their skin from past breakouts. If you have sensitive skin, it's best to use it every other night until...

    Great product, but not a miracle for me. Really nice spot treatment. I use it over my more troubled-spots over my MD Forte II lotion to fasten results. Works great! It lasts you a while as well....

    I'm entering into my 4th week of Diacneal use, so it's still early to judge a retinoid. But I figured I'd offer my experience so far, and I'll update if anything changes. Overall, I'm pretty...
