Pros:

does not dry up face. reduced DEEP zits.

Cons:

it gives me more white heads.

i've tried proactiv for 3-4 months and it was drying my face so i switched to murad acne complex. i did not experience the "purging" process. my face became better in the first few week and then it was all down hill from there. i've now used murad for 4 months and never lived a day without a white head(well i guess it's better to get white heads than deep zits). anyhow, i like the spot treatment, it works to some degree. i'm going to cancel my membership and go see a doctor cause i'm getting a lot more acne recently. murad does not work very well.

Pros:

shiny packages, auto-pay, infomercial inspires me to wash my face

Cons:

burning of the skin, reptile face, puss land mines have been left behind by this evil army of capitalism.

There is a cure for acne,just like cancer, but the rich swine have found it more profitable to sell rubbish that preys on our insecurities. The burn from this product comes from the high content level of mind control serum. FTW, wear your pimples with pride!

Pros:

Moisturizer is good if you have dry skin.

Cons:

Everything has a smell to it. Moisturizer will look greasy on you if you have regular skin. Spot Treater sucks and doesn't work at all. Acne Gel leaves skin looking wet/greasy. High Price, especially if you use a new kit every month.

Overall it doesn't work at all. The first month or so it looked like it was working, but then it trailed off so badly that I was left with greasy, red, acne filled skin, along with a good bit of cystic acne. All the "success" stories are lies. I think the problem is the system itself. Salicylic Acid breaks down your pores in a way to prevent clogging. A gel cant do this effectively, you are better off using Stridex pads for that. Also, it doesn't kill bacteria, the other clogging agent that causes acne. So it results in a system that is doomed from the start. I am now on Dans regimen, but sort of my own version. I use Clean & Clear Foaming Oil Free Cleanser, Dan's BP Gel, and Complex 15 Moisturizing Face Cream, and my skin is the clearest it has been in years! The only problem I am currently having is since we just hit winter my skin is drying out a bit and peeling at nights after taking a shower.

Pros:

Very good! Worked the moment I put it on! The moisturizer is my favorite, it's potent enough for my dry skin and helps the acne.

Cons:

A little overpriced and no SPF

Wonderful product if you are willing to spend a little more.

Pros:

Cleared my back entirely, evens out lumps and bumps

Cons:

Price

The exfoliating gel in this kit is beautiful, giving a fantastic even skin tone and the cleanser is also very good, however the spot gel did more or less nothing. The acne on my back and chest was cleared and stayed away with this set, but on my face the effect was less permanent. I'd say this is very good for clearing up anything hideous, but not something that should be used as a 'regular' preventative. It's also good for sensitive skin: Neutrogena tore skin off my face and back, but this product is gentle enough and non-drying enough to not bother me.
