Before I explain my one-star rating, allow me to share some background:
1) I have extremely fair skin; I use SPF45 (waterproof & sweatproof) year-round, and I still get sunburned now and then, even with all my precautions. (The pic in my Amazon profile is the closest I will ever get to a tan.)
2) For the most part, I have always had good skin, until I had my first child — I’ve had more outbreaks in the past three years, than all my teen years combined. My acne is definitely at the mercy of my post-pregnancy hormones.
3) My main problem is blackheads (which I usually just use Biore strips for), and I’ve never had to deal with some of the more extreme problems you see in dermatologist commercials.
4) I am only allergic to latex (i.e. balloons, gloves, etc.); I have no other allergies. I am not allergic to any of the ingredients listed on the product; I have used similar products in the past with no problems.
I used this product for the first time last night. I read the directions-for-use very carefully, and followed them precisely. I was not using anything else; I didn’t scrub my face. Again, I followed the instructions to the tiniest detail.
First I washed with the cleanser; I didn’t feel anything, and I didn’t see any changes to my skin (I didn’t expect any immediate results). I used the toner next; it smelled great, but I noticed a tingling sensation in my skin…still no cause for alarm.
However, after I used the lotion (and I used a tiny amount for a “thin” layer just as the directions instructed), my face felt like it was on fire! I tried to rinse the stuff off with plain water, and I was left looking like a chemical-burn victim. I took a picture, which I intend on uploading — you will see the difference between my face where I used the product, and my neck where I didn’t use it…it’s drastic.
I have absolutely no idea why that happened, but I will not be using this product ever again. Maybe it would work for some people, but at this point, I would not recommend it for anyone else with fair skin. I gave it one-star because this morning my face still looks like it’s been burned. I feel much safer using natural products like Burt’s Bees Natural Remedy Kit.

I have been using Nature’s Gate Organics Acne Treatment System for just under a year now and absolutely love the results. I had been using another kit that uses benzoyl peroxide as its main acne-fighting ingredient, but it really dried my skin out and the bleaching action of the peroxide ruined countless towels and T-shirt necklines.
So when a friend recommended Nature’s Gate Organics Acne Kit, I thought I’d give it a try. After that first kit, I’ve never even considered using anything else. I find the salicylic acid based formula gentler on my skin but still very effective at clearing up breakouts and preventing new ones. I’ve used salicylic acid products in the past without the greatest results, but however Nature’s Gate Organics acne product is formulated, IT WORKS. (According to their packaging, it’s the combination with the Oligopeptide-10 that makes the salicylic acid more effective.)
It’s really important to stick to the complete regimen, though. When I first started using the kit, I used the three products haphazardly, using the cleanser one day but not the toner and lotion, etc. I could tell the difference, though, when I followed the package directions and used all three. The cleanser, toner and lotion each have their function and I’m really happy with how my skin feels and looks when I use the whole system. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on how good my skin looks, too, since I started using Nature’s Gate Organics.
This is also the first formula I’ve found that didn’t dry out my skin. I think most acne products are formulated for teens with really oily skin. For those of us past puberty (I’m 30+) but still dealing with adult acne, we need products that are effective but gentle. And the fact that it contains natural/organic ingredients is an added bonus. All of those botanicals makes it smell great, too!
For me, Nature’s Gate Organics Acne Treatment is perfect. I don’t write a lot of reviews, but I felt compelled when I saw it posted here because I really believe in this product. Plus, I’m so glad Amazon is offering it and at such a good price!

I have become more aware of the “bad” ingredients in many cosmetics and skincare products and have been wondering a lot lately about how I am going to keep my skin clear without slathering it with cancer-causing agents. Then I stumbled upon this product! The box says “Get Clear Skin in 6 weeks”; however, I’ve only used the product for a few days and already my skin is starting to show signs of vast improvement. (I will come back and update my review if this changes.) The box comes with complete and clear instructions. The packaging and labels on the bottles are neither feminine nor masculine. It’s pretty much “acceptable” for both guys and girls. The products don’t have a medicine smell or any kind of floral or girly smell. The cleanser and toner are lightly scented, but it’s nothing that lingers or bothers me. I can be sensitive to perfume smells due to allergies, and this doesn’t affect me at all. The corrective cleanser and controling lotion bottles are labeled with expiration dates on the bottom. If you are looking to try a skin care system that’s as good as, if not better in my opinion, than the “leading brands” give this a try.
Two additional notes: The lid on the toner leaks ever so slightly. Beware if you are planning on traveling with this product. Also, the bottles which contain organic product are not labeled for recycling(?).
