Pros:

Cleanser leaves skin feeling refreshed.
Spot treatment helps zit dry up overnight.
Lotion hydrates skin.

Cons:

Toner burns skin for the first couple times.

I have used SO many products on my face. I've tried Proctiv, Dermalogica, birth control, every cleanser in retail stores and NOTHING worked. Everything made my acne worse. I finally decided to use this product. I was reluctant, but by the first 2 weeks I noticed a great improvement in the look and feel of my skin. I have been using it for about 4 months and my skin hasn't looked this great in a long time. I still have scares from previous acne and I need to find something to get rid of those. I haven't had a breakout in a long time!

Pros:

This product helped a little bit but didnt clear my whole face up in 3 weeks likeit promises. It doesnt sting and helped a little bit with my skin bot not much. I do not recommend this product as it is a wasit of money!

Pros:

This collection worked quickly to get rid of pimples, and also evened out my skin tone. I used all the products as directed (but using the gel at night only) and my existing pimples shrank and disappeared in 3 days. It's great that you can buy a sample kit with all the products to test whether they're right for your skin type, or to use just for a short time if you have occasional acne. The spot treatment is gentle and doesn't "cake" on pimples, which is good. The lotion is really soothing.

Cons:

Cleanser does not remove makeup very well, especially not mascara/eyeliner. The toner and gel are a little abrasive - my skin goes red when I put them on, but thankfully returns to normal by the time I'm done my morning routine. Consider using the gel only at night.

I bought this kit on Sunday because I needed to be pimple-free by Friday, and it worked for me. It freaks me out that some products make my skin turn red, but the reality is that my skin tone is much more even after just a week of use and I'm wearing less makeup than usual. This sample kit is definitely worth trying - these could be the products that work for your skin!
