Pros:

-Awesome smell
-Felt great on my skin
-Got rid of big, painful whiteheads on my chin and mouth

Cons:

-Dried out my skin
-Caused some random red spots to show up on my face
-The lotion is really expensive and feels nasty on your face

For me, this product didn't really improve my acne, it just changed the type I got. I have really sensitive skin and it was just too harsh for it.

Pros:

It REALLY works

Cons:

a little expensive... but i got the whole set not just 1 or 2 items like most of the reviews i have read.

This system really works so to me the price is well worth it i have tried everything even proactive and nothing worked...... but this system really works i have used this for a 2 months and 1/2 EVERYDAY 2 times a day the cleanser the scrub the spot treatment the blemish treatment and the moistuizer it DOES NOT dry your skin out and some of the comments i read that said it did, thoes people did not use the moistuizer. again i purchased the entire set so i think i am more sure of the full 100% working ability of this system . i think my review is a little more correct than others... i mean you can't just buy one item and say ok this does not work or it leaves my skin dry it is ment to work as a set and it is by far the best thing i could have done for my skin i am actually a 25 year old bi racial female who has had severe acne since the age of 12-13 i have been to doctors skin treatment centers but none of that really worked foe longer than a month ..... but this acne system REALLY works and it gets better from the first time if used as a whole set.... so in other words it does not get worst to get better also it has directions that say on the box use 2 times a day everyday i do not think you should write a review if you do not use the prodouct the way it is ment to be used because that creates a false review this is my personal experience and i love it and would recommend this to any and everyone

Pros:

ACNE SOLUTIONS SYSTEM
Reduces redness, makes skin look more healthy overall

Cons:

Fewer breakouts, but they were more severe

I used the system for just over two months. The first couple weeks, my moderate acne decreased and I noticed my skin appeared more "healthy" (more even, fewer blemishes). After about the third week though, if I was to breakout, my acne would be large, cystic acne that was painful. I continued for a few more weeks hoping that it was just clearing my skin of any bacteria, but the acne kept reappearing. I think the product could be good if you have light to moderate acne, but nothing worse. I have since switched to the Clinique Acne Solutions and just after a week of use, most of my acne has cleared up.

Pros:

ACNE SOLUTIONS SYSTEM :
-I actually love the smell. even the spot treament.i really cant imagine ppl hating it, but everyones different.
-NATURAL .
-doesnt dry skin atall! i have sensitive skin and I have never experienced no drying, even some moistuizers dry me out, not to mention water alone does too.

Cons:

OK so it made me BREAKOUT HORRIBLY at first, like first two weeks. Mom hand to "for feed me" into using it.
-im 19 female and had acne since like 13.
REMEMBER THIS SYSTEM DOESNT WORK WITHOUT THE SPOT TREAMENT
-very expensive must I say.

Ive been using this stuff, im on my third week. I use it once a day.What people are saying about being allergic to it, thats what I thought, but honestly its just taking all that gunkout! trust me the BREAKOUT WAS HORRIBLE!! trust me people I know a bad breakout i have many of them, when mines get bad i dont even want to leave the house cuz ppl stare at me. I had cysts EVERYWHERE, mostly under my jawline and scars. unbelievably painful. I took painkillers everyday,which helped, and camomile tea steams. but the breakout was only for the first two weeks. I was really close to giving up, like all the zillions of other products ive used.btw the cyts if u dont pick will turn white. I know its hard I pick all the time, but just let it pass. anyway this is week three, I also brought some clinique makeup which I wear ontop of the BB ACNE SYSTEM. and it really keeps my hands from picking and lets the product work. Let me tell you my acne has drasically changed. from those cysts (some of which I popped) i drained some puss and it started healing. THE SPOT TREATMENT is a must if u wanna do this acne system. I was using it without the spot treament and its really hard. just makes things easier to have it. anyways with the makeup, i dont have the cysts anymore, just a bunch of tiny smallest blackheads ive ever had. they are really crusty to the touch, all over, as if you have sand on your face, and they fall of if you lightly scratch them. I still have many scars all over from the intial breakout, but so far, its really improving. think of it this way people, accutane and everything that actually works takes time to do its thing. BB acne solutions is a miracle really, just give it time and let it go crazy on you. accutane even gives ppl really bad breakouts like 2 months. Just stick through it.

Pros:

got rid of my acne quickly!

Cons:

face is a little dry.

Both of these i assume are from this. I'm using a few and only one other is for acne in general, other ones are for dryness, blackheads, etc. but after about a week of this, my face has hardly any acne. I love this product.

Pros:

Lightens red spots, heals mild acne.

Cons:

Not for moderate Acne

This is by far the best cleanser I have ever used (Orange Essence Facial Wash) I love that I apply it dry beacuse it has oils in it, and it works wonders for my oily skin because since oils dissolve oils, it leaves my skin perfectly balanced, and even without a moisturizer, never oil throughout the day. The only times I've noticd my face got oily was if I used too much or left it on too long. But it hasn't ever clogged my pores, the smell is amazing and you can't beat it being all natural! I think this product is perfect for people with no acne because its mainly a daily cleanser, and not a fighter of moderate acne. The ingredients are too mild. But until I find another product that fights acne and doesn't dry my face, this is my main product. WILL DEFINITELY BE BUYING AGAIN IN THE FUTURE!!! ps. its hard to find in places like wal mart and cvs, at least where I live, I found it in walgreens.

Pros:

This stuff makes my skin feel like a freaking baby's butt. It's organic and does what it is said to do.

Cons:

At first, the face wash takes you by surprise. The citrus-like smell is not what you'd expect; neither is the sensation that your face has been slapped awake (in a good way, of course). Beware that this product, like many others, causes dryness.

Great stuff. It works well with oily, fair skin and takes away some of the redness. Burt's Bee's products work differently; some of their acne treatments may not work well with your face. I am, dare I say it, eternally pink in the face and paper white everywhere else. I hate it. I used their purifying gell cleanser. OMG. This stuff is AMAZING. Try it out. If its not for you, find out why and get a treatment that is right for you.

Pros:

for spot treatment....acne solutions dries up pimples fast! i also apply this to my whole face once every two weeks and from the effects of salicylic acid i have been able to shed my dry skin problem...especially the winter dry skin problem.

Cons:

the smell isn't the best but COME ON PEOPLE...it works so I'm not ABOUT to complain!

I've been around the block with acne. I've suffered with acne since I was 22 and am now my late 40's. Try BB Acne Solutions! I love it! EXCELLENT for spot treatment! Pimples heal in days verses weeks and months. Also, my face has a much healthier glow. I have tried VERY expensive brands bought at department stores and from my plastic surgeon (I've had a lot of skin cancer) along with many peels and honestly...this has worked the best. This is the MOST affordable product out there with such amazing results. Remember...more is not better though...use this sparingly as you don't want to strip ALL of your natural oils away. Also note that we all have different reasons for suffering from acne...if this product isn't your solution...don't blame the product...it may simply not work for you particular problem.
