Pros:

is a good way to keep your skin fresh and clear, improves acne and smells nice + bedtime for breakouts is great

Cons:

using every one of the products can leave your skin dry, mainly the toner and hit the spot pimple cream

its a good product but it doesn't clear your skin dramatically or completely, at least for me it didn't, i still have break-outs and always a few pimples here and there. i tend to just use the bed time for breakouts and the mask/exfoliator makes your skin feel fresh and soft after but then usually leads to a breakout :/ it helps your skin but isn't the solution to getting rid of acne forever

Pros:

-helped clear my acne in about 2-4 weeks
-clears hormonal acne very effectively
-smells good
-leaves skin very soft and smooth

Cons:

-full size products are pricey

I first purchased the mini kit of travel sized products, after about a month of acne free skin i purchased the full sized products. i have used proactive, clean and clear, natural remedies and clinique but this has shown the best improvement in my skin. i especially love the "bedtime for breakouts" product, im not sure what it is but if leaves my skin looking AMAZING the next morning!

Pros:

Cleared my acne, helped scarring go away, smells good, nice foam

Cons:

none

I really like these products. I am a teen and since they are designed for teens makes it even better! They really helped clear up my skin and they even helped get rid of some of the scarring that I had on my forehead. I don't have very heavy acne anymore, but I used to( previously ) When I started using this product my acne was light with occasional break outs. It won't clear up your skin in 24 hours, but you have to use it for a while before you start to REALLY notice a difference. It also helped with redness. I have redness around the cheek area and this really evened my skin tone. I love how to toner you mist over your face instead of wiping your face with a cotton ball. The bottles are really fun too! The face scrub/mask thingy i love also. It says use it 3-5 times a week but I use it only 2 times because I feel like i'm scrubbing my face raw if I use any scrub that often. it does make your skin softer! I also recommend getting their lipshine. It is amazing!

Pros:

Effective
Nice smelling
Affordable
Soothing for skin, does not dry your skin out
Good for oily skin

Cons:

Small bottle size
Does not get rid of all blacheads

This stuff works really well. I started breaking out with tiny bumps under my skin on my forehead, the sides of my face and behind my ears. I didn't know what the heck it was and it soon developed into the worst acne I've ever had. I have always had small breakouts now and again, I have oily skin and wasn't taking care of it properly. When I started using Mirena, it got worse, then cleared up when I started using the proper cleansing products and doing a good regimen. When this craziness started in December, I started using everything I could find. I googled and found that salicylic acid and benzoyle peroxide were two of the most active treatments. I was using a salicylic acid face wash and a salicylic acid moisturizer that was non-comodogenic and things just got worse. I kept thinking once this breakout cleared up, or this zit went away, it would be over. I even went to a doctor and got a prescription compound and I thought it was helping. After almost 3 months of seriously wanting to hide my face in public and starting to get depressed about my appearance, I happened to go into a Ulta beauty supply store. The lady there recommended this product. At first I was skeptical b/c the active ingredient in most of the bottles is salicylic acid, and I was already using that, plus it said it was for teens and I'm 24 - but I took a chance. I saw a difference in my face after maybe 3 days. I DID still have a pretty bad breakout when I got my cycle, but it cleared right up! I have been using it almost 2 weeks now and my face is looking so normal again! TRY this product, it's worth it!

Pros:

Makes skin very soft.
Shrunk pores.
Gets rid of bigger pimples.

Cons:

Didn't get rid of blackheads.
After using it, your skin doesn't "feel" clean (But it is clean!)

Makes your skin bright! Alot of people complain about the smell, but I like it. Most of the products work really well.

Pros:

Helps reduce redness, large pimples go away faster

Cons:

Didn't help with blackheads, didn't truly clear acne

I used this product for around nine months, this product definitely cleared my skin from where it was reducing the redness in my cheeks incredibly, but I still woke up everyday with new breakouts and blackheads. I think this product is best for very light acne because it does help to balance and even your skin. It's a good product but it wasn't strong enough for me, I am now using the regimen and in three weeks and my skin is better than ever before.

Pros:

The system worked for my skin the first 3-4 weeks.

Cons:

Leaves skin dry

It works at first, it dries out the areas where you have acne, but then you start to have breakouts on areas where you never broke out. Break outs appear as dark marks on skin.
