Great for travel

I use the regular size products given in this kit. So the travel sizes that you are given are perfect in size. The cleanser, gel and mattifier all work well together. I also bought a tiny funnel so I can refill the gel, masque and mattifier. All you need is a moisturizer and an spf sunscreen and you're set.

Something finally worked...

Acne has plagued me for years. Not quite at the accutaine level but I always had a blemish coming and going and I since I reached my early twenties I had painful cystic bumps every other week. I'd hate to look at my face and thought I needed the 10% benzyle peroxide everyday just to be presentable. Nothing worked, from proactive, to the body shop, to philosophy. To complicate matters my skin became very sensitive and was peeling and cracking. I finally saw a medibac kit on sale and said, hey why not?
That was six months ago and I think I have had one cyst since and while I still have occasional breakouts (hormones and such) the clear days decidedly outnumber the tiny little white heads I sometimes get. I get compliments on my skin from strangers now and frequently preach the dermalogica system.
All the products are gentle on your skin and lightweight. They feel and smell great and when you read the label you are shocked at the amount of natural ingredients.
Yes this system is expensive but it is one of those "a little goes a long way" things. The medibac kit lasted me six weeks and I still have not used up the full sized bottles and don't expect to for another three months or so ( I have had them for four months.) I would recommend you buying the oil control lotion since the samples only last a week (that really should be included) and another product that I have added that is fabulous is the daily microexfoliant.

I have adult acne. Or should I say, "I used to have adult acne!" Lol. After about a month of diligent use, this product line has cleared my skin! I'm so pleased! I love Dermalogica because their products do what they promise. Having clearer skin is the best feeling! Try it. You won't be disappointed!

NOT GOOD

I got this in a raffle, so I was happy I didn’t buy it after this result.
I thought I would give it ago as I had a few spots and I often break out with a few every month...BUT this has made me look like I have teenager skin. I have so many spots all over on my face!! My step daughter has bad skin and she has better skin then me at the moment and she is 12 and I'm 27! I have never seen my skin look so bad over 27 years!! I am gutted, I’m going out tomorrow night and these spots have made me so down, that I don’t want to go :-( This may work for other people, but all I am going to stay is, if you haven’t got loads of spots, just a breakout once or twice a month DO NOT BUY THIS as you may have an experience like me and have skin look worse than it ever did.

I've been using the medibac clearing system for almost 3 weeks now and I am very pleased with it. I have used MANY acne products to get rid of the stubborn acne I've dealt with for years and think I finally found the right system for me. I've tried proactive, neutrogena id, clearasil, and nothing worked, all they did was make my skin dry and flaky. After the first week I saw a difference on my cheeks, then next my chin and this is the clearest my skin has been in soooo long. I use it with my nutrasonic am&pm and love it.

Would not recommend for black skin

Tho I think that I like oil control, does not last very long. I love the matifier. That is the only product in the system that I would maybe repurchase. It does give your face a non oily glo, but doesnt last very long with people with oily skin. The acne was did not help my acne at all, I beleive the mask brought about more pimples. It is just too hard to find a good working product for black skin care.

Medibac kit is AMAZING

I am a 38 year old female who has been suffering with acne for what feels like my entire life. I have tried almost every product line out there and NOTHING kept my skin clear. I would see an initial effect, but nothing that lasted. I was desperate with my wedding coming up in April to find a solution to my oily/acne prone skin. I started using the Medibac kit in late January and words could not express how happy I am with this product line. I would never walk out of the house without makeup or concealer. I think I am finally to the point with these products where I can walk out and be able to hold my head up with pride and not hide behind makeup. Thank you for creating such an awesome product line!!!!!! I can't wait to show my radiant skin complexion at the wedding!

Disappointed

You would have thought the product should be able to make your skin better with that high prices but unfortunately, not only does it make my breakout worse, it leaves these red and ugly post-acne spots on my face. TOTALLY regret to buy it.

The Dermalogical Acne kit is a good kit to begin your regimen. Once you have finished the product, you can decide if you want to use the system long term.

Ok, so I'm 41 and I have worse acne now than when I was a teenager. And I'm not talking regular acne. I have cystic acne, whiteheards, regular acne, chest acne...you name it! I have multiple sclerosis and my immune system is wacked! Prett muc every product leaves my poor skin irritated and red...not good! Everything I have tried (even frm the dermatologist!) has only worked to improve my skin very little. Now I've only been using the mediBac clearin ki for only a few days but already my acne is significantly reduced and my skin feels cleaner, less iritated and firmer! This is by far th BEST product I have used in a long as I can remember. Definitely wll keep buying! Thank you, thank you!

Pretty good products!

I really wish this set came with more than just a few days worth of the oil control lotion!! It's not at all proportioned with the rest of the kit =(
I have been using this kit for about a week. That's not long, I know, but so far I think it's been pretty good. My skin looks healthier and is softer. The overnight cream works wonders! The mattifier works really well too. The tint is noooot so great, though (unlike a lot of other people on here apparently) it does match my skin tone. The cleanser's nice. The oil control lotion is really light. Not oily or heavy, and doesn't cause me to break out (which most moisturizers do!! ugh - so frustrating!)
Overall, pretty good products.
Cheers!

For the price I paid, I was hoping for more of a noticeable result. Not the case. I don't have severe acne, but I was hoping for something to lessen the oiliness and control breakouts.

This system cleared my skin more quickly, and with more noticeable results than any other product I've tried (and I've tried them all!) I still break out, but the blemishes clear up in a matter of hours as opposed to days and leave marks less frequently.

This product made my acne worse. Instead of clearing it, it made me more irritated and oily. I was very disappointed.

I have used everything you can think of naming, but nothing worked. I never had acne until my second semester of college. So, I was tired of looking like a high school student. I really loved how weightless the product feels on my face. Other products felt thick & greasy at times. I have not had a bad break since I began this routine. The only negative I have to mention is that it is drying out my lips a bit from the rinse. Overall, this has given me the face I have tried for over 6 years to obtain.

MediBac is improving my skin

I really like the MediBac clearing kit. My skin looks and feels healthier than it did before I started using the product. The cleanser is great and never over-dries my skin. My favorite product in the kit in the Sebum Clearing Mask, it smells great and leaves my skin refreshed. I would like to see more Oil Control Lotion in the kit, I was very frugal using it, but still have run out way ahead of all the other products.

Maybe too early to tell...

I have been using the Medibac system as instructed for 3 weeks and have seen a severe worsening of my acne. It could be clearing the congestion that was to come out eventually, but I am quite frustrated overall with results so far. I have been suffering from acne since puberty, and I am mid-twenties now. Maybe 3 weeks is too early to tell about true results, but I had high expectations from the reviews I read. I plan to continue the regimen for another 2 months probably, giving it more time to work its magic. I do enjoy the fragrance/dye-free aspect and none of the products seem to irritate my sensitive skin. The clearing mattifier is my favorite product in the system, which has definitely helped reduce the oil.
