Dr. Fulton is a hero of acne research, 2008-04-12
Dr. Fulton's book is the best resource I've found to understand what acne is and how it develops. You'll walk away with a thorough understanding of sebaceous glands, retention hyperkeratosis, lamellar granules, and the like. It is an essential read for people interested in the science behind blocked pores.

Excellent book for acne sufferers, 2007-08-04
I am an acne suffer since my teen. I have read most of the books on acne and found this book is good in explaining the causes and cure the break-outs. Although he is a little self-promoting his products. Go to your local library and check out this book and other related acne books.

I found another kit is just as effective and cheaper the AcneRx Program Kit from a different company. I like this kit better and my skin is looking great now.

Excellent Acne Information Resource, 2007-04-25
I learned so much about acne from reading this book. Dr. Fulton is a former acne sufferer himself, which gives him credibility (in my opinion). He is extremely empathetic to what the acne sufferer is experiencing physically and psychologically. Often when I read informational books, I find myself skimming, but I read each and every word of this book. It was extremely well written and easy to understand. His treatment program seems to be based in science, not feelings or hunches, and I like that. We plan on giving the program a try. Excellent book on acne!

More Informative than Esthetics Books, 2006-08-23
This book is a must-read for anyone suffering from breakouts or who desires to enter the esthetics or dermatology fields. Dr. Fulton has a successful history of treating patients with acne and has done extensive research on the causes and treatment of acne. I recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about skincare or treating breakouts. I wish I had read this book when I was twelve or thirteen. The wealth of information contained in this book is enough to make someone seem like an expert. Upon reading, one may learn all the myths and truths about acne, and by understanding its cause, may treat it more effectively. As far as I'm concerned, this should be the manual for acne treatment.

Very very sympathetic!!!, 2003-08-16
I found this book to be the most compassionate skincare book I have ever read. I f you have ever suffered from this disease, you will a) bawl with relief and b) get down on your knees and ferverently thank the publishers of this book. Dr. Fulton was motivated to study dermatology and specifically acne because he himself suffered from a debilitating case of it. He describes his personal experiences of shame and frustration ( he has photos of himself with acne - ugh - what doctor or person would dare to do that??) and those of his patients with deep empathy and insight. How many times have you gone to yet another unsympathetic dermatologist and been handed a prescription merely to shut you up? or used OTC products only to find you are getting worse or staying the same???
I found this book book to be extraordinarily helpful, especially the following:
1) Dr. Fulton recommends using ice as an inexpensive treatment on pimples and cysts - it takes away swelling and kills the top layers of cells to help bring up/relieve the impaction - he uses in his own clinical practice
2) Did you know that Retin-A (which he co-invented, along with Benzol Peroxide - he got himself degrees in dermatology and chemistry in order to tackle this disease) comes in two different forms - cream and gel. The cream formula is acnegenic - but the gel isn't.
3) benzoyl peroxide is an extremely effective treatment - but is often "housed" in a formula that is acnegenic, esp. over-the-counter product - that is why it doesn't work!!!!!
4) A lot of products that are labelled "non-comedogenic", esp. cosmetics that are advertised as such, ARE NOT - and Dr. Fulton does testing in his lab, and shows how you can do simple tests/read ingredients on your cosmetics to see if they are.
5) Dr Fulton will not treat any patient who works a night shift and suffers from acne. He has found in his practice that nite work disrupts our natural biologic clocks - that it simply intereferes with the support your body needs in order to properly manage your treatment.
6) Mineral oil sold in the US is non-comedogenic (still probably not good for you since it is petroleum - but better than something that makes you break out like crazy)
