I recently got flashbacks to my high school days when I received in the mail CTRL Acne Treatment System for men (they have one for women as well). This product which is gender specific comes kits including a facial cleanser, a “Male Active Treatment” and a spot treatment.
Now I have been using the same cleanser since I was 14 years old, so I was a bit apprehensive about using something new. I found the cleanser to be satisfactory. My skin did not feel dry afterwards (the most important thing for me) and it felt sufficiently clean. It did not lather which was a bit tricky but after using it a few times I learned how to use it properly. The “Male Active Treatment” seemed to keep my skin moist and well hydrated, which is important for the winter here on the East Coast. I will say that it has a rather unpleasant smell that I could not seem to escape for the good part of the morning.
Other than that it was fine. I did not really need to use the spot treatment as my teenage acne was luckily vanquished. I did put it on once and there were no adverse effects. If you are struggling with acne and looking to try something different, I would suggest you visitctrlacne.com and try it out for yourself. Leave some feedback if you’ve used it before.
I have used this product for a few months. I was drawn to the product for Peter's same reason. It is natural and gender specific, which means a lot to me! I find the fragrance sublte and bearable. The lack of detergents is gentle on my skin and although it doesnt lather, the smooth feeling of the lotion is awesome! The product outperformed my expectations!
It’s great that a company is finally worried about the consumer and not their profits. Parabens are in so many products it’s scary;so many companies don’t care about the health of the consumer.
CTRL is both paraben free and benzyl peroxide free. Both of which have been linked to cancer in testing. Why people would put this stuff into personal care products is unknown to me.
I have been using CTRL for 4 months now. Your review is spot on Nicholas. My acne has cleared up significantly. There are a few drawbacks, but they are rather insignificant when compared to the results. Before using CTRL, I tried every other big name acne product and none of them worked nearly as well. One of my favorite things about CTRL is the 2 step system. It's so easy.

It is also gender specific and treats the source of male and female acne
