Pros:

see improvement within the first week

Cons:

drys out skin

I started breaking out last November, started off mild that I completely broke out all over. Everyone I knew was asking me what happen to my once flawless face. people recommended pro active, clean clear, and other acne systems and non off them worked. I tried Neutrogena Advanced Solutions and within the first week i saw dramatic change. Ive been using it for about a month and a half now and im glad to say that 98 percent of my acne has cleared up. This product prevented new acne from appearing, faded some of my acne scars and is clearing up my skin. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT.... I thought there was no hope until i started using this it... i just suggest that you use a different moisturizer, i use biore it moisturizes my skin better

Pros:

Obviously helped my face after only one washing in the evening.

Cons:

Stiffness, a texture to skin.

Day 1: This is my first day on it and I'm seeing improvement, as much as expected. I would rate my acne as very light, but I have many tiny invisible pimples covering my nose, so I will put "light". I have pretty good skin and I'm hoping this will lead me to have it clear and wonderful. It has a mild wash and a benzoyl peroxide cream, and a lotion, so it fits Dan's Regimen nicely. So far it's a 5 for me.

Pros:

Inexpensive
Smells good
Feels Good
Not drying
Easy to use
Works :]

Cons:

The benzoyl peroxide bottle always run out faster than the other two...I wish they made it a little bigger so the entire set could actually last 2 months. But that really is no big deal lol!

I have had horrible acne for over a year...I cried multiple times over it. I decided to use this since it was inexpensive and I had already spent so much money on trying to solve my dilemma. I had prayed so much that this would work and that God could use the chemicals in this to work and take away my blemishes. I also began using aloe vera gel from Fruit of the Earth as a night cream (or more like a mask I guess). It worked. Within one week the acne on my cheeks had completely healed and the scars left behind were fading fast, due to the aloe vera. I haven't had success with anything until now. I am so excited and so happy about my healthy (smooth!! Eeeee! :D ) skin. I don't feel embarrased or have to wear tons of foundation just so I can at least squint in the mirror and look like I have pretty skin. God is good, let him take control of the problem and he will take care of it. I hope everyone has success in their acne ridding plots! :] Btw- the av next to the cost is the cost of the aloe vera gel :]

Pros:

-works.. for the first month or so
-semi-cheep, Cheeper then Proactiv
-includes a moisturizer.. which help alot.
- includes a $5.00 descount on the next purchase of this product.

Cons:

-Does not clear all of your acne.. it works on the big one
-Forget one treatment (You are surpposed to use it once at day and once at night) and your screwed
-know your propotions.. once you run out of one thing, you have to buy the whole thing again

I am a boy and i used to use this. It did not make my acne go away. Note that i have used this product for about 6 months.. This is not ment for a long time use.. i guess this wasn't ment for me. If you have oily skin.. DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. I am using oxy and that is working for me.. i guess this wasn't meant for me.. P.S when you sweat , it looks like milk is running down your face.. didn't help my image. .. If your activve and sweet alot.. not for you

Pros:

everything!!!!!!!
cleared my acne within 3 days.

Cons:

dries a little, get a moisturizer, and youre good to go(:

Nothing ever, EVER works on me. At all. Ever. and yeah you think "Oh, well she jsut got lucky blahblahblah, this sin't gonna work on me because nothing else does." Ha, NOT. That was me before I tried this. I used to be embarrased to even go ANYWHERE with my acne, now I feel so much better about myself. Thanks Neutrogena(: seriosuly, you didn't just give me my confidence back, you gave me myl ife back.

Pros:

My skin feels better already.
I used pro activ- this stuff works way better.
I have only been using it a few days but I can already see and feel a difference.

Cons:

The second step is pretty sticky but I believe that is the best step...just use some lotion after is dries and it feels awesome!

This stuff seems to work and for the price you can't beat it. Think about it you would have to pay way more with pro activ plus you have to get it off line.....just download the five dollar off coupon from the website and take it into a drug store....walmart seems to be seeing it the cheapest. Best of luck

Pros:

A 3 in 1 acne kit that combines effective acne remedies like benozyl peroxide and salisyc acid along with a moisturizer. Best of all this kit comes under $25.

Cons:

Can dry your skin out. It can leave your face looking flaky and somewhat ashy.
Minor burn in the skin when sweating due to benozyl peroxide
Can cause itchiness
It worked for me for 2 weeks or so but after that my face started having breakouts again.

I've used this product for a month now and I am experiencing mixed results. After a week into using this product, all of my cyst (large pimple with pus) have dried out and so as the tiny pimples all over my face. The following week, most of these bumps in my face have been almost reduced completely and my face had not seen any new pimples since then. Now the third week is when everything went haywire. My face started to get oily and new pimples are starting to appear. At first i thought this was normal as my dermatologist told me before that its natural to have more breakouts when using a product before you start seeing definitive results. But after a week of patiently waiting my face hasnt gotten any better. And I'm now experiencing itchiness which can be really annoying especially when i try and go to sleep; it bothers throughout the entire day. I don't know if its the lotion that's causing this as I haven't any problems before with benozyl and salysic. Even though i'm only a month into the product, I dont think I will get the same results like i did during the first two weeks of use. The only reason i am recommending this product despite of not working on me is because my sister is enjoying quite a success with this product. Her acne severity is light and after a month of use all of her pimples are gone. I think this product is mainly for light to moderate acnes. This system is good for those with light acnes but I suggest for those people with severe acnes to look for an alternative product.

Pros:

Clear face of redness... leaves face feeling smooth... prevents new acne from developing/forming... cleared about 65% of my acne within the first week of using.

Cons:

Slight burn when sweating from playing basketball.

GREAT product. I have tried all possible products and nothing seemed to work. I would wake up every morning with more acne/pimples and it was super frustrating. Being 24 and in corporate America, it was a stress on my work life. This system works amazing and I will continue to use it.

Pros:

reduces pimples fast
cheaper
reduces redness
JUST GREAT

Cons:

None really. irritates your skin a little bit but that is fixable.

This is absolutely GREAT!!!!! A must buy for all you people that suffer from acne. It irritates a little bit but just use face lotion and you'll be just fine. I've used PRO active , clear skin and many more and none have helped me as much as Neutogena. a lot cheaper to. Worked great for me hope it works great for you.
