The Zenmed Derma
Cleanse system aims to treat acne inside-and-out with a
3-step kit that includes a cleansing gel, a treatment gel,
and 2 bottles of Zenmed's herbal detoxifier supplement. The
products are not cheap, but at least they give you a decent
supply of the supplement pills, which are the real core of
this system. The company also offers different systems
customized to target specific skin types, as well as side
products.
Zenmed is heavy
on herbal ingredients, with the exception of the treatment
gel (which uses a rather strong concentration of 2%
salicylic acid). The cleansing gel is designed to be very
gentle, although you shouldn't expect it to do much on its
own. In contrast, the treatment gel is harsher,
and may cause irritation for those with sensitive skin.
As noted, it's
the supplement that will make or break the Derma Cleanse
system for you. The herbal detox approach aims to cleanse
your bowels and flush any bacterial waste out of your
system, which may help if your acne is caused by toxins and
not excess skin oil. |

Who should try
Zenmed Derma Cleanse
If you've got
mild-to-moderate acne and your skin is tough enough to
handle the 2% salicylic acid, after adjusting you may see
good results with Zenmed Derma Cleanse. The herbal detox
supplement will help those whose acne is primarily caused by
a buildup of toxins within the body (these are generally
milder cases of acne). Note that many users who see results
report having to stick with it for at least 3 weeks, which
is normal for supplements, so just don't go in expecting to
be clear the next day.
Who should
not
try Zenmed Derma Cleanse
Zenmed is quite
expensive, and you will likely have to go through an
adjustment period when you first start using it. If your
skin is sensitive at all, the treatment gel may prove overly
harsh. Also, the supplement can take a while to kick in, so
the first few weeks may be difficult. If these factors
bother you, you're better off saving your money.
The main
weakness of the detox approach is that the herbal supplement
does not help with oil regulation, so if your acne is caused
by something other than impurities in your body (most
moderate-to-severe cases have more to do with excess oil),
Zenmed may not give satisfactory results.
