Pros:

Non irritating, absorbs & dries quickly,only use 1 drop a day- twice a day.

Cons:

Expensive, only can buy online.

I have suffered from cystic acne for years and decided to give this a try when I started to develop a cyst. I have been getting cortisone shots by my derm for years but they can be expensive and a hassle to get into my derm to get them. I started to get a small cyst on Friday and used this all weekend long twice a day as directed. It didnt do anything for the first day but by second day the hard cyst was more spongy and it never developed like my typical cysts do. By the end of 5 days it was gone. I can still feel a little bump under the skin but it never developed. I am curious to see if it will work on my monster size cysts I sometimes get. Will post a follow up when that occurs.I think the key was using this as soon as you start to feel/see a cyst coming in.

This is rather pricey for such a small bottle, but it will last a long time. I bought this out of desperation for anything to calm my cysts down while I am waiting for a derm appoitment for a cortisone injection. I wouldn't say it is a miracle cure like the injection, but it does really help. If used at the very first sign of a cyst you stand a fighting chance. I think that I've stopped a few cysts in their tracks by using this at the first sign. Not a miracle for already developed cysts but good at stopping them from getting huge. I'd buy again.

actually helps
I've never gotten cysts before, but when I did start getting them they hurt so bad... I didn't know what to do to help. I came across this and my boyfriend willingly bought it for me and I have to say I've seen a bit of improvement so far. Im not saying it cleared my acne, but my painful, burning, itchy skin has slowly been getting better since Ive been using this! 10/10 would recommend!

A step in the right direction

Pros:

Fragrance Fee
Nice container

Cons:

Doesn't work for me
Liquidy
Pricey

I would recommend this to anyone suffering from cystic acne. If used 3-4 times per day, you can stop a cyst in it's tracks, but I still find that a cortisone injection works wonders. This is your second best option, followed by a blue clay mask.

It actually works!
My 17 year old daughter has had terrible cystic acne on her cheeks for about 2 years now. We have literally tried EVERYTHING On the market. We tried eliminating dairy and sugar, She has been on every topical acne prescription medication and antibiotics know to cure it except accutain. As a last desperate measure before she tried accutain we tried Renee Rouleau. It's been about two months and the results are astonishing. I'd say 95% of the cysts are gone with no new breakouts. All that is lesft is redness and some scarring. She uses the anticyst treatment, the daytime blemish gel, and the nighttime spot lotion. We are slowly starting to introduce the AHA lotion for the scarring. I would recommend trying Renee Rouleau!

Game-changer
I've never written a review for a skin product before, but I'm so totally blown away by Renee Rouleau's anti-cyst treatment that I had to post something. I'm 39, have suffered from cystic, hormonal acne for all of my adult life and have tried everything (prescription and over the counter) except Accutane. It's a constant challenge to be in professional settings with acne, and I have to reapply concealer several times a day at work. I read reviews of this product online and ordered it with zero hope it would help (and felt a little guilt about spending $50 on a skin product that would almost certainly fail). The total opposite has happened -- this product has dramatically improved my skin and boosted my confidence. This might sound like an infomercial but I'm actually that pumped about it. Each time I've felt a new cystic spot start I've immediately applied it, and within a day it is the size of a dot. My only fear is that they'll stop making it.

Pros:

- May have worked when first started using it

Cons:

- Ridiculously expensive given the basic ingredients in it
- Very small bottle (doesn't last)
- Haven't noticed long term effectiveness

Renee Rouleau products are so over priced and I wouldn't complain about it if they actually gave you your moneys worth. I've been using the cyst treatment for about a year now and don't see any significant results. And doesn't seem to work as a preventative treatment if used daily as they advise.

This works. I am 37. I battled acne my whole life. After years of wasting my money on derms and their products (including Accutane in my late teens and early 20's) I discovered a regimen that worked for me. For me, less was more. It's finally under control, but I still have hormonal and stress related cyst breakouts on my chin. They are not terrible, but they are certainly not pleasant at my age in my profession. They like to hang around. Well, nothing ever worked on a cyst to my knowledge except cortisone injections. I read the reviews on this product and I decided it sounded like it was worth a shot on my "type" of acne based on what the other similar reviewers posted. I am lucky because I live in Dallas and was able to drive to Renee's salon. I had one BIG one hanging out on my chin yesterday and probably 4 to 5 smaller ones hanging out. I bought this yesterday, have applied it four times in what has been a 24 hour period. The small ones are almost gone, noticeably smaller. In make up, nothing would show. The large one intensified yesterday and this morning about the same larger size, but I can tell it's drying out. Anyway - I read people talking about reactions where it gets larger so I was nervous. My take- it's drawing it out faster. So I'll bet if you catch it late that might be the reaction but it will reduce faster. 5 stars. Nothing is perfect in acne. It's all manageable process, but for me this is a 5 star product as it's the first defense that works against CYSTS that I found.

Confidence miracle
This stuff is amazing. I am 19, I moved to a new country and my skin reacted in a bad way, new cystic nightmares would form as soon as the old ones started to fade and literally all I wanted was normal skin. So suddenly I became an expert on cystic acne and forked over a ridiculous amount of money to have this product shipped to me. Its not a miracle like a cortisone shot. It won't vanish your cystic spots overnight. But it will halt that sucker in its tracks, and sometimes thats all you need start feeling better, especially when you are used to literally nothing stopping it from taking over your face for a week or two. Applying it every morning and night helped immensely, the spot I had stopped growing and slowly started to shrink. The soreness went away after only a day which was great. And as a preventative it has changed my life. 99% of the time I have been able to catch the spots as soon as they form, and using this product they have all never even become visible on my face. Note: I also stopped eating dairy, started drinking green tea and taking fish oil regularly. Fingers crossed

Worked as well as a cortisone shot
Seriously, this actually worked for me just about as well/quickly as getting a cortisone shot. I started feeling a cystic pimple pop up on my chin on Monday night. My skin looked red, and the spot was tender/sore to the touch. I put on a thin layer of the serum on twice on Tuesday (once in the morning, and once in the late afternoon)... when I woke up Wednesday morning, the sore/tender feeling was gone and the redness had gone way down. I followed the same regimen on Wednesday, and continued to see improvement on Thursday. In fact, by Thursday evening, all of the redness/puffiness had completely gone away. Would 100% recommend.
