Pros:

clears acne up for a little bit

Cons:

stops working after 2 or 3 months

I was so happy when this first started working for me, I had no new pimples. But after two or three months they started happening again and now my acne is worse than ever. Its the same thing as proactiv with more benzoyl peroxide in it and is cheaper

Pros:

Reduced acne
Cheap

Cons:

Dried skin
Didn't clear completely

While this stuff worked better than most products it still didn't work great. If you have mild acne or possibly moderate it might work but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Pros:

skin feels clean and smooth

Cons:

increased breakouts
redness
drying
flaking
burning
step 3 clashes with wearing makeup

I bought this product because I am tired of acne breakouts. I have tried Proactiv in the past, and that did work but I couldn't afford that product anymore. I purchased this product about 10 days ago and have been doing the full regimen once a day for about 10 days. My face has never been more broken out than this! I keep at it every morning faithfully hoping that the new breakouts are just the result of this product "getting rid" of the hidden bacteria/ acne in my face--thank goodness I don't use it twice a day as it recommends. My skin is dry and around my eyes (as crazy as this may sound) seems so dry that I feel as if it is aging me! Maybe I am using to too close to my eyes.... The repair lotion leaves a thick residue that shows up through your foundation, and the nighttime cream is thickand hard to spread evenly over your face. I will keep at it for another few days, but if no clearing by then, I can't promise much more. I was expecting clearer skin--not worse skin.

Pros:

Made skin feel nice and smooth, didn't dry face out too much

Cons:

Stopped working after about a month of use. Acne came back and just kept getting worse.

I was very excited with this system after it cleared my face up after a couple weeks of use, but within a few weeks all my acne was back. I kept using this system for a few months and it never improved my acne.

NOT for sensitive skin!!!!!!
I got this product because i was looking for an acne solution for my sensitive skin. I thought this would be the perfect product. I used it for 2 days (twice a day) like the instructions said; my acne did clear up, but my skin started breaking out in a red rash. I stopped using the product and this morning I woke up with HUGE bags under my puffy swollen eyes (it looks like someone literally beat me). My face is itchy and looks sunburned with little red bumps all over my face. I am not allergic to any of the ingredients so I don't understand why my face looks like this. All I can say is if you have sensitive skin like I do, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT! It will cause you more pain and embarrassment than it't worth. I am very upset with the results and had I known what this product would do to me, I would NEVER NEVER NEVER even considered buying it!!!

Hi, I've just read your comment and I wanted to tell you that my sister had the same problem as you had with the bags under the eyes and the sunburned face. But she reduced the dose and then she was okay, Her skin went perfect, No more acnee and scar. So maybe you should had reduced the dose or take it one day on two.. Or you're juste having a bad reaction to this product.

Pros:

Cleared my skin very well within the first two weeks of use.

Cons:

Dries skin out, must use regularly as directed to keep skin clear, doesn't have same effects for long.

I used this product regularly for 5 months and was pleased with the results more or less. It did not clear my skin as well as it did during the fist two weeks of use, but is more effective with regular use. However, After the 5 months, the skin around my eyes got so DRY, PEELING, RED, and PUFFY, even while using less than directed and using the moisturizer. I had to discontinue use and wait for my eyes to return to normal, which took two weeks!! I purchased the sensitive skin package, although my skin is normally not sensitive to be on the safe side and still had these results. NOT worth it.

Pros:

Cleared up most of my acne

Cons:

it's Very drying and didn't work as well after the first two weeks

If you want a product that's only good for two weeks then go ahead and try this. Other than that I would not recomend this product

Pros:

Very close replacement to Proactiv, but cheaper and available in drugstores.

Cons:

Unable to buy each step individually (except I think for the cleanser.
Scrubbing beads were different in the first step.
I had the same problem wtih this product as I did with Proactiv - seemed to actually make my acne worse due to overdrying, plus the aggravation of eczema on my hands from handling the product.

If proactiv works for you, give this a try, otherwise don't bother.
