DDF Pumice Acne Scrub is a blend of polyethylene beads and Benzoyl Peroxide used to supposedly reduce the clogging of skin pores and therefore promote clearer skin. According to the company the product helps smooth rough-looking skin. DDF Pumice Acne Scrub contains and micro-fine pumice stone powder, 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide, polyethylene granules as its claim to fame. The product, which is said to be effective regardless of age, gender, or race, is to be used up to three times per day as an alternative to a regular facial cleanser.

Harsh ingredients

The list of ingredients for DDF Pumice Acne Scrub is not a very lengthy one, but it is a rather harsh one. Included in the ingredients list is:

* Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5 percent as an active ingredient.

Inactive ingredients are as follows:

* Water
* Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate
* Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
* Polyethylene Beads
* Propylene Glycol
* Carbomer
* Sodium Hydroxide
* Methylparaben

Along with several harsh and often irritating ingredients, the active ingredient is Benzoyl Peroxide. While Benzoyl Peroxide has been proven somewhat effective in fighting acne, a great number of users experience great discomfort when using it and often experience increased breakouts. Additionally, Benzoyl Peroxide has been known to have a bleaching effect on the eyebrows and even on the clothing that may be exposed to it.

How to use it

The directions are easy to follow and you basically use it the way you would any other facial cleaner. Specific directions are as follows:

* Cleanse your skin before use.
* One to three times daily coat the affected area with a thin layer.
* Too much drying of the skin can occur so individuals should start with one application daily, and if no irritation occurs gradually increase to two to three times daily as you feel it is needed.
* If peeling, dryness, or irritation occurs, bring down the frequency of application to once per day or once per every other day.

The dryness and peeling they are referring to is the effect that many have when using a product that contains Benzoyl Peroxide.

No sun for you

In several different places, the company warns that if you are going to be in the sun that you must wear Sunblock while using DDF Pumice Acne Scrub. While it is not said exactly why, the fact is that if you use this product you can forget the tan.

Conclusion

DDF Pumice Acne Scrub is merely a very high priced facial soap with some Benzoyl Peroxide in it. Combined with the other harsh ingredients in the product you very well may get rid of the acne that plagues you, but it will be replaced with redness from all the burning. You can also rid your acne by burning it off with a lighter, but that doesn’t make sense either. If you do want to burn your skin then you can do it for a lot cheaper than you will if you purchase DDF Pumice Acne Scrub. Conversely, you can always look for a product that isn’t so harsh or expensive and give that a whirl. Just remember, clean skin doesn’t mean acne free skin; so don’t be fooled by the claims.
