CaliJen, CA Jul 15th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Itmade my skin feel clean and soft. it had a nice fresh scent. Cons: It only worked the first week or so, but after that my was breaking out again. Bottom Line: It makes your skin feel good, but it probably only works for light acne. Recommended: Yes Usage: CaliJen has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 5.99 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Annie, Canada Jul 13th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Makes your face look like you put on foundation right after you wash your face Cons: The "foundation-effect" wears off after only a couple of minutes and it also smells very strong. I've found that it causes giant pimple on your face, and the pimples actually get stuck in your skin. It also caused me mhiteheads all over my chin+nose! Bottom Line: If you have a couple of pimples, (1-5) then sure, it works. But in more severe cases, it screws up your skin. It makes your face shiny, dries out your skin, smells harsh and causes huge boil sized pimples. VERY umpleasent. I am now turning to AcneFree in hopes that it will work. If you have only a couple of pimples and decide to try this, I would reccomend the Life Brand Oil free medicated lotion from Shoppers Drugmart. It's not pricey ($5.49 in Canada)and it works AMAZING. It makes your skin feel smooth and clears up the pimples. Recommended: No Usage: Annie has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 11.49 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Lucy Honeychurch, Los Angeles, CA Jun 14th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Keeps skin smooth and matte without over-drying or over moisturizing, easy, inexpensive, available at most drugstores, calms down redness, works immediately and lasts all day, You can even use make-up over it Cons: I used a lot, and often throughout the day, so my only con is that I'm already halfway through the tube. I also don't like ACNE STRESS CONTROL in big letters, but a lot of drugstore items have tacky packaging. Bottom Line: I was surprised at how well this worked considering I'm not a fan of Neutrogena products in general. It's actually a good inexpensive product. I wanted something with 2% salicylic acid to exfoliate old acne and keep my pores clear, but not drying since I had already experienced some redness and peeling with benzoyl peroxide and wanted to give my skin a break from that, plus I liked that this said it worked for stress related acne and calmed down redness and would keep my skin hydrated- a hard combination to find in an acne product since they are usually drying. This actually did everything it said it would do so I was impressed enough to write this review. I've used this for 3 days and nights. I had big acne but only a few spots- in other words, not light acne because it was big cystic things that I had picked at, but not all over my face, just a few spots. I was most impressed with how this made my skin matte but not overly dry, and reduced redness and inflammation. Recommended: Yes Usage: Lucy Honeychurch has used this item for a day or two.

Anonymous Mar 28th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: By far the most effective topical treatment I have used (including benzoyl peroxide and other salicylic acid treatments). With my skin it doesn't react adversely, the bottle lasts a surprisingly long time, it has a pleasant consistency and scent. Cons: Perhaps it has caused a slight drying of the skin, but no other negative aspects for me. Bottom Line: I'll repeat: this is definitely the most effective treatment I have used over the past 7-ish years. More effective than other salicylic acid treatments. More effective than benzoyl peroxide. More effective than Proactiv. For my particular skin, this seems to work really well. I should note that I've also been making some dietary changes (I've practically eliminated direct eggs and dairy from my diet) and also been drinking about 2 liters of water a day. I think this treatment plus those changes are probably the reason my skin has improved so much, and perhaps neither would have been as effective alone. Anyway, I'd definitely recommend trying this and applying a thin coat twice a day after gentle cleansing and moisturizing. It's fairly inexpensive and the small bottle has really lasted several months. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 5.99 Was this comment helpful?

Nicole, Houston Mar 21st, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Does not dry out the skin surrounding blemishes, helps soothe really irritated skin, smells much better than other types of treatments. Cons: Needs mulitple applications daily to be most effective, leaves oily skin really shiny- especially in warmer weather. Bottom Line: A decent treatment, but most effective when paired with the scrub from the same line. Recommended: Yes Usage: Nicole has used this item for a few months.

Tamar, Los Angeles Feb 27th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Basically scentless except for a pleasant cucumber-y note; does not irritate my sensitive skin. Cons: It doesn't seem to make a big difference in my acne. Bottom Line: Ineffective for me, but you may want to try it if you have very sensitive skin. Recommended: No Usage: Tamar has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 6.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
