Acne Treatment

Update 1/31/2025: I am absolutely devastated that this has been discontinued and I can't find it anywhere. I bought a ton in case this would happen, and I'm on my last bottle. I can't find any contact information, either. I hope somehow the seller sees this review and can make more and sell it here! It's the only thing that helps me!! Update 9/5/19: I was so excited to get my most recent bottle of Powderma to see they finally added a shaker lid. HUGE improvement. The bottle is now white, too. They should update their product photos. Update 7/1/16: I've never done such a hard reverse on my opinion of a product. I started to notice a bit of clearing after using Powderma for about three weeks, so I stuck with it. I still don't love the package design and think it needs a slow-flow top, but I figured out a better way to apply. I sprinkle a very small amount in my hands after my morning shower, bend 90 degrees from the waist so my back is as flat as possible, then reach behind myself with a closed fist before opening my hands and rubbing in the powder as well as possible. I do the same on my chest, bending backward as much as possible. Some powder still falls off, but enough stays for sufficient treatment. (My bathroom rug has to be washed every few days because it gets messy from the Powderma that doesn't stick.) I don't really care that it's not a perfect application or makes a bit of a mess in my bathroom, though, because after a few months of use, for the first time since I was 12 (I'm now 37), I have nearly perfect skin on my body. It doesn't bleach anything, and doesn't leave a noticeable feel on my skin. For me, it's magic in a bottle and, literally, had changed my life. I am beyond pleased. Thank you, Powderma. (No one from Powderma contacted me to change my original negative review. This is an honest experience, and I strongly urge anyone battling body acne to stick with the product, even if you don't like it at first. It just takes some getting used to.) -- Original one-star review: I'm not sure if all of these five-star reviews are for a prior formulation as mentioned in one of other less-than-stellar reviews, but this "powder" is more like sand! It has such a gritty texture that the large granules fall right off my powder puff and slide off my skin. (It's no better if I try applying it straight with my hands.) It's simply far too coarse to actually stick long enough to sink in. Another issue is the horrible packaging. Who makes a powder in a completely open jar without a slow-flow top?! Good luck dispensing this without spilling it everywhere. And God speed to your lungs once it's airborne! Nice way to cause product waste. After 23 years of battling back acne and four rounds of Accutane, I had serious hopes for this. I've tried absolutely everything. After reading the reviews, I thought Powderma just might change my life. I should have known better. Don't waste your money. So incredibly disappointed.

I'm a male in my 30s and still struggle with daily skin issues. I have extremely sensitive skin and tend to get breakouts on my chest and back. I've tried medicated oils, antibiotics, home remedies, and of course a slew of store bought topical ointments and treatments. To date, none of these options have improved my condition. On occasion something may offer temporarily relief, but often treatments such as benzoyl peroxide cause more irritation to the skin in the process. I came across Powderma, and thought I would give it a shot. I've been using this product for about a month now, and have noticed nothing but positive effects. Has it completely cured/prevented my breakouts, no... but at this stage I would say it's reduced them by about 90% This is huge to me. My chest and back have become mostly clear, and my skin overall has developed a healthier tone. Whenever I do have an breakout it tends to be much smaller and shorter lived. When a pimple/outbreak does arise, I mix a little Powderma with alcohol free witch hazel and apply it to the effected area. Leaving this mask on overnight tends to reduce the hyperpigmentation, swelling, and size dramatically. In a few instances, the the pimple was completely gone by morning. I also apply Powderma to my neck after I shave, and haven't had an breakout on my face or neck since. The other nice thing is that it doesn't have an unpleasant odor or stain clothing when worn. I'll be out of my first bottle soon, and will definitely be ordering another. Please keep in mind that acne is a complicated issue, and the list of possible causes and variables is mind boggling. I've been told by doctors that I have folliculitis, sensitivity to fungal infections, hormonal imbalances, etc., etc. Often prescribing costly medications that have yielded no results or in some cases have worsened the symptoms. Powderma is the first product I've used that has provided noticeable relief. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend giving this product a shot. I did, and I couldn't be happier.

This product is not even going to last a month it is falsely advertise the back scrub is very cheap not worth the money. I suggest you spend it elsewhere.

I am so happy I discovered this! Benzoyl peroxide has been the only thing that has ever worked to clear up my chest and back acne. Consequently, all my bed sheets, night gowns and towels were white. Now I can live my life in color! I can put it on before I get dressed in the morning and not worry about my favorite clothes being ruined. I was very skeptical at first, but have been using it for months with no problems at all. I'm not quite sure why it does not come with a shaker cap, so I just pour it into one. It doesn't seem like a bottle would last that long, but it does for me. Haven't timed it exactly, but I would say at least 2 months per bottle with daily morning and evening applications. I would highly recommend if benzoyl peroxide works for you. It has been a life changer for me.

I've been using this product for close to four months now. I decided to try Powderma because I've had acne since I was 12, and I'm now 28. I've tried everything under the sun to get rid of my facial, upper arm, neck and back acne. At the point of purchase, I had been put on Accutane (as a last resort), but was only on it for a week because I had to quit due to its harsh side effects on my body. I was out of options, then I came across this. I figured I didn't have anything to lose. I started using this product after showering and moisturizing at night, and my acne started to minimize in its severity and appearance. To increase my results, I started rinsing with benzoyl peroxide at night in the shower and applied a topical dapsone cream called Aczone in the morning. Prior to Powderma, I used Aczone and benzoyl together, but with minimal success. Now, with Powderma added to this combo, my acne has diminished to about 10-15% of what it used to be. I'm mostly dealing with the hyperpigmentation scars left behind, that I'm trying to fade. Even though this product has worked better for me than anything I've ever tried in my life, I gave this product 4 stars because it is not a miracle product. To get the great results I wanted, I needed to use this product in conjunction with other products. I still get pimples, but they are few. Without this product, my skin wouldn't be almost clear. :-) This is my Holy Grail. My recommendation would be to add this to your typical skincare routine and see if it helps. Some other things (you probably already know) that help keep my acne at bay: I make sure to increase showers when it's hot out, shower immediately after working out, try to stay cool at night, and I take an acne supplement (not sure if this is doing anything, but for me, it's just added insurance). Another side note: the body brush was useless, in my opinion. Product would get all over the place, so I just apply Powderma with my hands.

I found powdered a few years ago on Amazon. I was looking for something to help control my acne as I'm in my 30s and still battle with it. I read the ingredients and for research I had done thought I would give this a shot as it seemed to contain stuff known to help acne. At that time microfiber salicylic was an ingredient. From the first time using it, I knew that I had found a gem. Within days the bumps dried and were almost gone. Over time using it, my skin smoothed, the marks faded and the oil slick that would appear during the course of the day stopped. Then I ran out and couldn't find it again. Pimples started coming back, as well as the oiliness. I found Powderma again a few months ago and was ecstatic. However, after I got it was the first time I realized that the formulation had changed. The texture is completely different. Before it was a nice smooth powder that was easy to apply and absorbed well into the skin. Now it has an abrasive sandy texture that is harder to get onto the skin and does no absorb as well. The micronized salicin is no longer an ingredient, but it is now di-generate. Been using it for a few months now and have not had near the success as before. If anyone from Powderma sees this. Please return to or at least make the old formulation available. It was more expensive than this new one, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy cuz it works.

It's crazy to me that I'm writing a review right now for a product that seemingly has vanished off the face of the earth, and a company that screams scam when you try to look them up... But the truth is that this product actually worked wonders for me. It cleared the skin on my back more effectively than anything I have ever seen or tried in my life (I've tried a lot of products). I'm genuinely sad I seemingly cannot buy it any more. I hope someone creates a new version of the same powder... because I'm worried I'll never be able to buy this stuff again.

This product actually works 100%. Buyer beware they use pictures with two bottles on both their amazon listings and both don’t mention you only get one bottle per purchase in any of their descriptions. I reached to them and they said they’ll change the picture(this was back in April19). Please add to your description or change picture.
