Pros Very gentle, moisturizing, good customer service if you want to get a refund
Cons Not effective to clear the acne. I got several major breakouts over my forehead and chin since I started using the oily/blemish prone regime ($99.50) in Mychelle including the clear serum, cleanser, grapefruit cream, etc.
Bottom line It would be good for normal skin but not for acne prone skin. You can try if it works for you and get a refund within 30 days of your purchase if it doesn't work for you.

Pros Smells good
No bleaching effects like BP
Easy to apply
Cons Not very effective in preventing acne
Caused tiny bumps
Drying
Expensive
Bottom line After 4 years of using Dan's BP with moderate success(moderately severe acne was reduced to 1 pimple a couple of times a month), I was looking for a new skin care regimen that did not take so much time nor bleach sheets/clothes. I used the Cranberry Cleanser, Acne-Clearing Serum and Grapefruit Cream that are apart of MyChelle's Acne Prone line. I used the products for 7 weeks. The main acne-fighting ingredient in the products is totarol (there's also salicylic acid in the Grapefruit Cream), which is derived from some kind of tree in New Zealand. There isn't much research on totarol. I think that the line was actually pretty effective in reducing the size of acne cysts and papules, but it did not actually prevent the acne from emerging. So, these products might work better for people who have less severe acne. I still wound up with my usual 7-8 pimples, though they were somewhat smaller. Also, I started to notice tiny bumps forming all over my face - I'd never had that before. My skin felt dry and bumpy and I still had acne. So, I started up with the BP again and the bumps are clearing. It's worth it to stick with BP despite the time that it takes, the bleaching anxiety and the occasional tiny breakout.

Pros soothing, gentle, effective, natural and nontoxic ingredients, responsible company, and has been the most effective single product for treating my daughter's SEVERE acne after years of trying many different product lines.
Cons a little pricey, but one pump is all you really need so it does last
Bottom line Mychelle was recommended to my daughter by her dermatologist who began treating her about a year ago for very severe inflammatory, cystic acne. This is her favorite product out of several that she also loves including White Cranberry Cleanser, Oil Free Grapefruit Cream, Clarifying Pads, and Spot Treatment. Of all the products, this one seems to be the most effective at both preventing and treating breakouts, including prescription topical antibiotics. [link removed] has the best prices I've found. I wish we would have discovered Mychelle sooner!

Pros none
Cons i got tiny bumps/breakouts all over my face
Expensive
Bottom line I've tried everything under the sun to clear my skin. I have found nothing that helped so far so I decided to try the natural way. I read reviews about this product and it seemed that everyone recommended it. So I went and bought it. After using it twice my broke out into little tiny bumps, in place that I have never had breakouts before. It has been over a month now since I stopped using it and my complexion looks absolutely horrible, worse than it did before. I'm so disappointed and I have no idea what to do next.

Pros Not at all greasy or sticky. Goes on beautifully under makeup. Makes the skin more smooth and prepares skin for makeup.
Cons Some won't like the fragrance. The natural ingredients have a very "earthy" scent.
Bottom line This product is wonderful. It keeps my acne at bay without irritating my skin. Also makes the texture of my skin more even and has helped over time with old acne scars (I've been using it consistently for several years). I also really love that it's all-natural and toxin free. I would be lost without this product!

Pros using a little over a month, cranberry cleanser, skin clearing serum with the oil free grapefruit lotion, my skin that is usually oily is not, yet not dry either, breakouts getting less and less!
Cons little expesnsive, however finally something that works
Bottom line worth the cost have tried proactive, murad, retin A, antibiotics and every other thing you have ever heard of , truley impressed! you can even use just a littlle retin a mixed in with the lotion every other night and it totally speeds up the clearing process without irritating or drying. found mine at vitacost .com best prices.

Pros It feels great going on. My skin feels balanced when I wake up in the morning instead of irritated as it was when I used BP,SA,or RA prescriptions. I'd say the results I've gotten with these products are even better than what my derm was prescribing!
Cons It's soo expensive, but for me it's been a good investment.
Bottom line It doesn't hurt to use these products in conjunction with one another; just don't overdo the masks or you may overdry your skin. I use the cranberry cleanser, c serum, clear skin serum, firming serum (for divots resulting from cortisol injections--fast results!), and grapefruit cream morning and night and I alternate between the cranberry mud mask and pumpkin peel every 2 or 3 days before bed.

Pros Natural, gentle, effective! first and only natural treatment I've used that actually works. I am so happy my acne is finally disappearing, these products seriously control sebum production and slough off dead skin cells!! WORTH THE $$$$$$$$$$
Cons Hella expensive, results are not immediate but BE PATIENT! Wait a couple months before you decide whether or not it's working. It took me a little over a month using these products daily to start to see results. IT IS WORTH THE WAIT!!
Bottom line I've battled acne for about 2 years and I have tried a lot of harsh chemical OTC products and I've even been on antibiotics (the worst). I lead a healthy lifestyle, and as soon as I realized that there was a natural line of acne products out there, (Mychelle) I sacrificed the 100 bucks to try it. I really believed in it, and believed that it was going to put an end to my long frustrating struggle with acne. I wash my face with the cranberry cleanser twice a day, during the day I use clear skin serum (not as greasy) and while I sleep I wear clear skin serum with grapefruit cream over it. I use incredible pumpkin peel 3 times a week and fruit enzyme scrub on the days I don't use the pumpkin peel. Well, I'm about 5 or 6 weeks in and I am actually seeing DRAMATIC results!!! I'm not totally clear yet but I'm being very patient. Exfoliation is KEY -- my blackheads are disappearing and the amount of inflamed acne on my face is decreasing. I'm VERY pleased that my skin continues to improve.

Pros when used in conjunction with the other mychelle products
the results are awesome clears blemishes fast.
Cons none so far
Bottom line when i first started using this product I was skeptical, because I have spent alot of money on other products to do the same thing.
In the first 2 days i noticed a difference. Keep in mind because these are natural products it needs to clean the impuritites out before the results are seen 2 to 6 weeks. This was told to me by a consultant when I called to find out why my breakouts were worst then ever, when I first started using the mychelle products. But now I can truely say my skin is awesome and hardly any breakouts. The clear skin serum is what helpped the most I love it.You can see result with the serum in the first 2 days on some blemishes over night. I wash morning & night. Good luck it is worth the money.

Pros It actually works and doesn't damage your skin in the process.
Bottom line A lot of acne treatments are really harsh on the skin, which can cause blemishes to scab or peal, thus making them hard to cover with makeup. This serum does not damage the skin. In fact, it is the most effective treatment, yet gentle product, I've ever used. Buy it. You'll be impressed.
