Pros:

none

Cons:

PURGING!

im still using it for about a month and a half and if it doesnt get any better by the end of the second month, I WILL STOP USING IT. IT MADE MY SKIN WORSE THAN BEFORE!!!!! im not sure how long purging is supposed to take but for me its been about a month.. it started about two weeks after i started using the product.. i also followed the steps exactly and i just got more bumps and broke out more than usual.
July 23, 2009

Pros:

Worked well at first......

Cons:

Stopped working all together after a few months. Used to have a lot of small pimples, now I have a few rather large ones at all times. I can handle the small ones better than the large ones!!

Not worth the money!!! I have tried many cheaper products from Wal-Mart and had better success than with this product and at a fraction of the price. I have been looking everywhere to try and find a product that actually works....guess I'll try another one!

July 17, 2009

Pros:

Got me really pumped to have clear skin in four weeks...

Cons:

Didn't get my skin clear in four weeks. I am on week five and it's all going downhill. My skin is much worse than when I started. I really wanted this to be the one that worked, but listen up guys, it's VERY expensive for what you get. No success.

First week, nothing to different happened Second week, my skin got worse on my checks. Third week, purging got MUCH MUCH worse, fourth week, horrible scarring from the past two weeks and I wake up with about 4-7 new white heads every morning fifth week-nothing better, I'm very disappointed and will be meeting with a dermatologist this week to give me REAL medicine.

I have used this product as advertised for 4 weeks but unfortunately it has made my skin much worst. Based on my results I would not recommend this product to anyone.
