I don't have terrible skin, but it was bad enough that I thought I'd try an acne system. Definitely would not try using this one again! Typically I only break out badly during one week of the month (you know what week I'm talking about) but this product is making me break out worse than I ever have before. I have huge, red, itchy, cystic acne all over my face, not just in my normal problem areas. It's so embarrassing! I have only been using the system for a week and a half, but I am stopping use now. The salespeople told me it would take 3 days to work, however the instant I started using it I saw my acne flair up more and more.
Pros
have not found any pros yet; however I purchased the clear advantage system at a discounted price so that was a plus I suppose. And the saleswoman was really friendly and answered all of my questions.
Cons
Does NOT clear up acne and makes skin very itchy!
moderate
for about a week
$ 50
I do not recommend using this treatment.

I really like how it makes my skin feel. Except on my forhead and browline my skin has become WAY worse than its ever been. I have so many pimples on my forehead. I have been using this product for just over a month now, and my forehead has just gotten worse, I heard than it takes a bit before your skin actually gets better with this product, but over a month? I am just kind of confused. But I do know people who think this product is great. Maybe my acne is much to mild for it.
Pros
Made my skin nice and smooth and soft
Cons
Made me break out on my forehead
very light
for about a month
I do not recommend using this treatment.

One thing that I really need to state about this product is that you should only be using it ONCE a day, once a day and you will see great improvement in a matter of weeks, I really think that is a KEY component to this system. My one time per day wash/tone/lotion is strictly at night, I prefer it this way. Also, doing this cuts way down on the cost, and I honestly think if one was to use this 2x per day it would just be way too much. My sister also uses this once per day only (night too) and has been doing so for over a year and her skin has a great tone and texture appearence to it with very very infrequent breakouts compared to moderate acne before. I would highly reccomend this product, it takes my skin from bumpy, rough, and very frequent breakouts to smooth, soft skin, with mild acne. I also think it's one of the least irritating salycic products available. Goodluck!!
Pros
Leaves skin smooth, soft, and much less breakouts. Also gets rid of the little bumpies on the forehead, the ones that you can't really see in most lighting but can very much feel.
Cons
You have to order off ebay or the website. (much cheeper on ebay)
moderate
for a few months
$ 30
I recommend using this treatment.

You could use either proactive or this to get that burning skin feeling. I'd rather wash a whole lot more with my usual soap, or even just deal with the pimples than have my sking burn all the time. I would not recommend this product.
Pros
45 day return policy
Cons
Burns the skin! I only used it 3 times. If you want to return you have to pay, so for $14 you could have bought something that actually worked.
moderate
for a day or two
$ 60
I do not recommend using this treatment.

Honestly it's not a miracle treatment and will likely not work for everyone but so far it is the best product I have used - my skin is the clearest it has been although I have some acne scars. They have recently changed the product, I hope it will work the same or better.
Pros
works well, pleasant smell
Cons
toner runs out faster then rest of product, does not help acne scars.
moderate
for a few months
$ 51
I recommend using this treatment.
