Pros:

None, the first step sooth's my skin but that's about it.

Cons:

Doesn't work, i've used it for 3 weeks and have see if any to no results. i don't think it works at all, people always say give it time give it time. well i would think by third week it would have been better or i have seen results but i haven't.

Doesn't work.

Pros:

cleanser is great and will last for a while. Buy the set, it will save you money.

Cons:

- spot treatment is VERY stingy, and may dry out the skin around the acne.
- purging process really tests your patience! I was horrified after the 1-2nd week of usage..pimple mayhem.

I'm really glad i stuck it out and kept using it for a few more weeks after my crazy breakout (crazy because I have never broke out like this in my life). Started getting a lot of tiny acne on my forehead (which NEVER happens), but its clearing up now. It seems to dry out, harden, or push the dirt in your pores up to the surface. I started noticing my blackheads crusting and it was so easy to just pick away the entire blackhead out. My pores are definitely cleaner. I use it with Clarisonic, and it seems to be working really well. I feel like the longer you use it the better the results. I still have quite a few pimples around my cheek and forehead, and some of them are red bumps that take much longer to heal (and are actually painful-feels like a swollen bruise on your face) and seem to scar/turn into a sizable brown blemish when they do. The difference in skin is most noticeable when I wake up in the morning-all the acne and redness has been reduced.

Pros:

I started using it about a year ago i was always worried about my acne but now i hardly ever breakout.

Cons:

I cant use the lotion my skin is very sensitive to it.

I would recomened this to anyone that worrys about there acne. I got the 6.75 oz bottle of cleanser that has lasted me almost a year now and i wash my face at least once a day but sometimes 2 or 3. Its totally worth the price if you use the right amount. I dont think i'll go back to any other cleanser.

Pros:

Simple steps, smells unlike other acne meds, gentle on skin.

Cons:

none really

I have very very mild acne prone skin. I only break out about once a month and this system clears up any redness and pimples in about 4 days. I use it only a week a month, the rest I use MAC wipes but I do use the exfoliating gel every single night. The cleanser just a week a month, and the on the spot very occasionally. So I would say if you have very mild acne, some skin redness this would deff help you get perfect skin.
