The only thing worse than a big, angry zit is a face full of big, angry zits. Acne -- from the occasional breakout to chronic bumps -- is the worst confidence crusher out there.

The struggle to get rid of acne is just as frustrating. From spot treatments to acne-clearing gadgets, women shell out hundreds -- even thousands -- of dollars trying to find the product that will deliver clear, happy skin.

The catch-22? The more products you try, the worse your acne gets. That's why most dermatologists say the key to zapping acne is one tried-and-true system that you use without fail every morning and every night. No excuses.

Enter: Exposed Skin Care Acne Treatment Kit, $49.95 -- a multi-step system that targets acne with salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide and heals skin with tea tree oil, green tea extract and other soothing botanicals. The system promises to unclog pores, kill acne-causing bacteria, regulate oil production and calm redness -- all in 30 days. We enlisted top TotalBeauty.com reviewers who have tried their fair share of acne treatments, and asked them to report on the results. Here's how their skin -- and confidence levels -- fared on the Exposed Skin Care Kit.

"I have been battling horrible adult acne for over a year and nothing I have tried has worked like this kit. The instructions were thorough, but to the point. They told you exactly what to expect and when, and reminded you that things may get worse before it gets better. I respect the honesty.

"Second, the product itself is downright amazing. I have tried MANY products of all shapes and sizes, and none matched up to this. Within a few days, I noticed the giant red mountains all over my cheeks and chin start to decrease. Within a week, those decreasing mountains were just red marks, with a few stubborn zits not completely diminished." --mrselliott08

"I cannot stress enough how much of an issue my acne was. I tried so many different products … to no avail. After reading some positive reviews about these packages online, I gave in and tried the Exposed Skin Care Kit -- and I'm so thankful that I did.

"Being that I'm in pharmacy school, what they include in their basic package really makes sense according to clinical studies. The combination of a low concentration of benzoyl peroxide with salicylic acid works wonders. It amazes me how my face completely cleared up within a few days and has remained consistently clear for months." --AJdc5

"I particularly liked the [Acne] Treatment Serum -- it worked very quickly, clearing up spots in about half the time of other topical treatments, with no added redness or dryness. All in all, I would say this is a great kit." --LittleBunny

"This is the best skin-care line for my troubled skin. All breakouts are now gone. I have told friends and family about this great line so they can experience it for themselves. New customer for life!" --KARENCOGBURN
