Pros:

Starts working right away. I used this around 8pm Friday night. My face was Moderatly broke out with some swallon and red and sort of soar pimples. When i woke that next morning my face was not as red or swollen. Pimples were shrinking.
Did not over dry my face.

Cons:

I bought this Friday night used it That night and twice a day over the weekend. Sunday night after going to the St. Patty's day parade I came home with a super red face. It was about 56* and a little sunny but it was not sun burn! My face looks like a nice shade of sun burn.

I can deal with a little redness besides its nothing coverup can not handle. Pimples are going away. So Im happy. Proactive did not work for me at all. The only thing i did like about Proactiv is i did not turn red.

Pros:

Controls acne and you can feel it working. Also, soaks up the oil in my skin which I had trouble with my whole life.

Cons:

Doesn't take away scars and can dry skin up fast.

This is a pretty good products, but there are better ones. I f you have mild acne it is likely to work better on you. But if you have severe acne it is not recommended to you. You must see a dermatologist first and get what the prescribe you to. If it turns mild after that and your tired of going to the dermatolgist and pay alot of money, I recommend you use it. Please remember to use it for at least a month to show results before you quit. I happed to learn my lesson about quitting face products too soon.

Pros:

Works better then some of the the other products i've used. Controls acne for a little while.

Cons:

Bleaches towels or clothes easily. Over drying. Doesn't control oil very well. Over time it's like your face becomes immune to it and you begin getting the acne back again. The newer packaging makes it harder to squeeze out.

I used this product for a good two years and for about a year and half it kept the acne at back and kept my skin clear, with a few occasional zits. over time however my skin has seemed to become immune to the medication as a few months ago i began getting severe pimples on the sides of my face (where they were before i started using the product). It takes awhile for the medication to start taking effect, about a month or two. Also in starting to use this product you must build your face up to it, otherwise your skin will become red and splotchy and VERY dry. My advice would be to find a different product.

Pros:

Works

Cons:

Dries your skin
Does not get rid of it all

I used it and it was ok. I noticed that the Repair Lotion really dried out my skin so I just skip that step altogether and use a different moisturizer for my skin (that works).

Pros:

Seems to be effective to some degree. The acne has been clearing up nicely.

Cons:

The entire process of using this is fairly tedious as well as irritating to the skin. It dries it out skin quickly and may cause problems (ex. reoccurring acne).

The individual components seem to be well put together, but if you combine them, it's just terrible and hard to control/maintain. As a whole, this probably shouldn't be used as it is a terrible skin irritant. After acne has cleared up, it has a tendency to come back as you keep using it. Personally, I enjoy the lotion on it's own as it has a 3.5% benzoyl peroxide formula with a lighter facial cleanser and an additional lotion on top of it. The toner I use mostly when I have make-up on. The wash itself I use after a morning shower on the weekend with a moisturizer instead of the lotion as it contains benzoyl peroxide as well. I would recommend using your hands to liberally apply the lotion till it's white color has disappear on your skin. It's not as likely to irritate as using a cloth or cotton pad. (Just my two cents) Your mileage may vary for long term use. Good luck!

Pros:

The corrective toner makes my skin feel light and clean and so does the face cleanser.

Cons:

The repair lotion makes my skin oily throughout the day, though naturally I have oily skin. I get a couple pimples here and there and the blackheads are slightly visible. But the product doesn't seem to be getting rid of any of that.

I've been using this product for about a month and I'm still getting breakouts. I have yet to see any results but maybe being patient may work. So far though, nothing about this product has cleared my skin. And honestly, the retinol renewal complex is pointless.

Pros:

Worked really well for a few days (made my skin softer), after that, it makes sink less oily (instead of getting oily when I'm nervous, now my face just turns bright red and burns).

Cons:

Worst treatment ever, see below.

I didn't really have bad acne beforehand, I just bought this treatment because I was going on vacation and wanted to look good in the photos (and I have always had one small patch of redness/bumps on the side of my face). Now, after three weeks of using it, I have the worst acne of my life- the whole left side of my face is covered in very painful acne and my pores have gotten giant. The skin is getting stretched and swollen. Yes, I used all three steps. However, sometimes I did only do the night applications. ( I have some horrific before and after pictures, if anyone wants them ).

Pros:

product was affordable, cheaper then proactiv. Cleans skin very well, reduces oily skin greatly. already see improvement in skin, yet may be too soon too tell. Acne has already begun to dry up and reduce in appearance

Cons:

skin has some redness. have used for 48 hours. had hoped for more dramatic results.

im 28 years old, and have never had acne until the last six months, my job requires a very upkept appearence. therefore when the acne wouldnt go away, i proceeded to wear MORE makeup to cover it, the more makeup i use, the more my acne develops, i've never dealt with it before but it had made me quite self conscience, and i hate to wear the amount of makeup i have to wear to just cover it up. i saw this product advertised, and decided to give it a try. in hopes it will work as it is said it will, i've used the product for two days. acne has already begun to dry up, yet not as quicky as i hoped. and skin is a little red. but can not tell if it is from the product or from the acne. im hopeful this product clears up my skin so my appearence is what it used to be.

Pros:

Clears up acne pretty quickly

Cons:

Left my skin VERY dry and red. Seems somewhat irreparable.

Do a skin test before using. I do not have sensitive skin, and was very surprised that my skin reacted in such a drastic way. If you do no react in a negative way, this product will help
