I purchased my 500 dollar kit and was excited. I ended up with the most intense and deep breakout I'd ever had my entire life - and I am in my 50s. I had deep, sore type acne pop up all over my face - even my cheeks. It was the worse. It took more than 6 months off Jan Marini for everything to clear up. Stay away. See a dermatologist. They gave me antibiotic wipes that ultimately stopped the Jan Marini breakout from hell.
