AcneFighter from California, NorCal
September 15, 2008
Pros This was a great product when it was available. I now use Neutrogena Oil Free, 3-in-1 Acne Stress Control as an excellent substitute. It's light and no longer has that strong smell like the orange stuff did. If you have naturally oily skin like I
Cons It's no longer available. This orange stuff lasted much longer than the green colored Neutrogena Oil Free, 3-in-1 Acne Stress Control because it contained more in the package. Too bad it's no longer manufactured...
Bottom line Go and buy the Neutrogena Oil Free, 3-in-1 Acne Stress Control as a perfect subsitute.
Price paid $8.00

Pros Works well, lasts a long time, vitamins help skin
Cons Discontinued, might sunburn people if they're out in the sun for over a half-hour or so
Bottom line I have been using this product or a while now (since February- its now September)and although it hasn't yet cleared up all of my acne its worked pretty well on keeping the "bumps of evil" down to a few around my face. The product is also light. However, I was wondering when I should use it I've been using it only at night for fear of getting sunburned but I want to know if it would work better if I put it on in the morning with some non-oily sunscreen.

Pros Light, brightens complextion, fades acne marks, 1.5% salicylic acid, still available at a local pharmacy
Cons Bad smell, but not squirt right if the pump gets crusted over, no SPF, might not be able to find it again :(
Bottom line This is a very good product. It feels light on my skin and moisturizes pretty well and it helps to even out my skin tone instead of making it look pale like some other moisturizers. The only problem I have is that I lost the plastic cap that covers the pump so now if there's any excess lotion on the pump it'll crust over so if I press the pump it'll just shoot out but that's just a simple problem.

Pros Clear Skin
Cons They quit making it
Bottom line When I was 15 I had a bad breakout from being overseas in Italy and Germany and tanning too much. I used this and it got rid of all the dead skin and got rid of the acne. I wish they still made it because it was a wonderful product.

Pros This product is the only thing that works to clear up my skin. Now that it has been discontinued, I have been trying to look for a replacement. Nothing is working, I have pimples again!!! Ahhhh. Please someone send me a link where I can buy this!
Cons DISCONTINUED!!! WHY????!!!!!
Bottom line Amazing, but you have to be patient, it takes about a week to clear up skin and even out complexion. After that, people will ask you over and over what you use because your skin will be flawless and smooth- I am not kidding. Damn you Neutrogena. You

Pros Really does the job. Best for preventing scars to come, not existing scars (in my opinion).
Cons I remember it smelling horrible. (But because it worked, I grew to love the awful smell?)
Bottom line I'm 22 now, and I used this product in the summer when I was in 7th grade. (I know, a while ago). But I was in the process of growing out my bangs, and underneath that hair was literally hundreds of zits-- almost covering every space of skin on my forehead. I used this product EVERY day after I showered and by the time school came around and my hair was out of my face, my forehead was completely zit free AND scar free. It was like magic. Nobody would have ever known I had such a bad skin problem underneath my bangs. Maybe my skin was more resilient then since I was young-- but my parents and I called it the miracle in a bottle. I think it works best if you have a high amount of zits in a small area, and you want them to go away without leaving noticeable scars. But I'm 22 now, and I promise there is no remaining scars from that time in my life-- only scars from current zits that have yet to fade!

Pros One of few BHA/AHA combo products in the proper pH range to be effective.
Cons Discontinued.
Bottom line I was able to buy a lot of these on ebay but it lasts so long I don't know how long it will take me to use them all up. Do they ever expire? There is no date on them. If anyone is desperate for one, email me through this site (username is Lutya).

Pros Does not irritate sensitive skin. It was the best product on the market. You don't need anything else once you use it properly except of course a gentle soap to wash your face and/or body. (Hint: LESS is more, use only one pump at a time).
Cons I became dependent on it and now it's discontinued in stores!!! (US $7.50 = JA $520)
Bottom line When one door closes another opens. I went on a search and found two products that actually work better.

First, the OIL-FREE ACNE WASH CREAM CLEANSER is great for sensitive skin. Although it smells bad, it really is worth it. My skin looks almost like baby skin now.

Second, the CLEAR PORE OIL-ELIMINATING ASTRINGENT does what the multivitamin lotion use to do for breakouts (THAT IS, PREVENTS THEM!!!) and it does it even better IF you use it appropriately. You don't need to use it more than twice a week. And NEVER USE IT ON BROKEN SKIN. If you must put your fingers in your face, use only the wash until the skin has formed a scab. Then, use this to clear up in record time.

Folks, these two are wonderful. Though I use to practically worship the multivitamin treatment, I'm happier now because with my replacements MY SKIN DOES NOT BREAKOUT ONCE I STOP USING THEM. I only have to keep my fingers out to prevent new breakouts (which, I admit, is kinda hard when you're str
