Finally an acne kit that lives up to its hype! Misumi’s Complete Clear 3 Step System has proven time and time again to be extremely effective. It is our favorite acne kit for achieving blemish-free skin. The best part is that it is only 3 easy steps and is super manageable for teenagers and adults with a busy schedule.

This brand has been a favorite of dermatologists and high-end skincare specialists for over 25 years but has only just been made available directly to consumers lasts year. Their 3-Step Trio Kit includes their signature AHA 10% Cleanser, All Day Moisturizer with SPF 30, and their best-selling Pore Purifying Toner that everyone (from teens to adults) has been raving about.

Unlike many acne products nowadays that contain harsh chemicals that irritate the skin, all of Misumi’s products are based on natural and healthy ingredients. Their AHA cleanser is a unique and powerful blend of Glycolic Acid, Chamomile, Japanese Plum, Seaweed Extract, Rosehip Oil, and more. You could say it has all the things we would want in an acne-fighting cleanser or face wash. Their Pore Purifying Toner combines Witch Hazel Extract, Lavender, Sage, and many other acne-fighting herbs that will help calm breakouts, clear the skin, and close pores to prevent future breakouts. Their moisturizer is designed specifically not to clog pores.

When it comes to strength, effectiveness and quality, we are yet to find an acne system on the market that beats this one. 

Best For: Acne-prone skin

Pros

• Natural, high-quality ingredients
• Calms cystic breakouts
• Reduces redness and swelling
• Only 3 easy steps
• Deliver real and fast results. (Or else they guarantee money back)
• Contains Lavender Oil which helps prevent severe acne scars, control oily skin, and calm breakouts
• Made in the USA in an FDA licensed facility
• Their chief chemist has been making some of the world’s leading acne products for over 25 years. This is their most effective formula to date.
• Lots of loyal customers who say Misumi has been the only thing that has worked for them. Real reviews with before and after photos to prove it.
• 30 Day Money Back Guarantee

Cons

• The acne kit clears the skin from the inside out instead of drying it out like most spot treatments or BP products, so it can take longer to see results for some customers. You’ll generally see clearer skin in two to six weeks of use (or else they guarantee money back).

Pro tip: Choose a subscription plan (30 or 60 days) and get 20% savings on the kit. Easy cancellation anytime.

The Acne Control 90-Day Bestseller Kit by Murad has been called the Proactiv+ for teens with acne-prone and sensitive skin. It’s a five-step system with a similar list of active ingredients and a drastically lower price tag.

One ingredient that is unique to this system is low concentration of salicylic acid. It’s gentler on skin and soaks in slower, delivering its exfoliating goodness evenly without missing anything.

Like many systems, there is a cleanser and moisturizer that you use twice daily and an acne treatment lotion you can use up to three times a day. What is missing here is a toner which we’d really love to see Murad develop and include in their kit, as toners are an integral product for managing acne-prone skin.

Some people get positive results with this system within two weeks, and for others it can take more like eight weeks.

Pros:

• contains Salicylic acid
• good for deep cleansing
• good price, compared to competitors like Proactiv
• gentle formula for more sensitive skin
• getting the extra two sample-size spot treatments is a bonus

Cons:

• Missing a non-comedogenic toner 

Coming at #1 is Exposed Skincare’s 5 Step Expanded Kit. To be honest, we were quite skeptical of this brand, due to it’s strong push for subscription and membership. It was also quite hard to track down all the ingredients in their products. We believe skincare brands should make their ingredients list as transparent as possible, but since we saw so many positive customer reviews, we had to see if they live up to their reputation.

While Exposed Skincare products may not have the most potent formulation, the kit has a more allergen-free product due to its formula that combines both artificial and natural ingredients. It also boasts of a more robust skincare system than Murad, but we think it’s too complicated for the usual customer, especially teens, hence the #3 spot. 

Exposed Skin Care works by making sure your face is as dirt and bacteria free as possible for long periods of time. This explains its complex morning and evening routine. The ingredients it makes use also optimizes cleansing, clearing, and acne treatment applications.

Kit Includes: Facial Cleanser, Clearing Tonic, Acne Treatment Serum, Clear Pore Serum, Moisture Complex, Free Derm-X Cloth

Pros:

• Great for blackheads and whiteheads
• Good choice for individuals with mild acne
• Long lasting results that clears skin from the inside out

Cons:

• 6 Piece Kit can be exhausting to manage consistently
• You will need to subscribe to their membership to receive a discounted price
• Not that easy to return products
