Pros:

Nice smell, cleanser is nice, day moisturiser makes your skin matte for a long time and reduces red spots well! Night cream feels nice on skin. Foundation works good as a conceiler.

Cons:

Day moisturiser is drying, doesn't moisturise. Alcohol denat 2nd ingredient and it doesn't seem to diminish my acne. Nightcream and foundation contain algae extract, which can be highly comedogenic so test first!! Foundation breaks me out.

I expected more of this. The moisturiser is okay becuase it makes your skin look better immediately after applying, but it is too drying for me to use every day. Won't buy it again. The nightcream felt wonderful but seemed to clog my pores even more after a few weeks, that's when I found out about the algae extract. Foundation broke me out several times after using it as a conceiler locally. Also algae extract! Soo beware of that. The cleanser is alcohol free and quite nice. Might buy that one again. Wouldn't recommend the rest of the line though. Didn't seem to diminish my acne, but then.. I have only used it for a month or so. Maybe should have stayed with the moisturiser longer, but for me it was too drying. And I don't trust the amount of alcohol denat in it. Which is also second ingredient in the foundation, by the way! I like La Roche Posay better up till now.

Pros:

Helps with red blemishes/ evens skin tone (due to green paste from the solution.) Dries out oily zones. Easy to apply & good for night time use.

Cons:

Over dries the skin. Not good for use under make-up (makes foundation look streaky). Product claims to be ultra-absorbent, however does not claim not to block pores.

I noticed that it did calm the redness in my skin, but also started to get whiteheads & blackheads around my oily zones (I am a T-ZONE) Never have I had this problem before until trying out this product. I bought the product to get rid of the pimples, which helped, but now I am stuck with black heads & white heads all over my face. Definitely do not recommend using this product during the day, over dries the skin & if using foundation, over matts & causes streaking!

Pros:

Gell- Мarvellous
The Tonner - Don't buy it ! It's frightened! Doesn't work .

Cons:

Gell i much better than the face scrub.
DON'T USE THE TONNER !

Vichy is good .In some cases better than Clinique. Gel fragarance is exellent . Anti-impfection concentrate is good too. But for visible results you must use the Gel and the Andti-impfection concentrate more than 2 months every day . Gel bottle is enought for one month and 15 days.

Pros:

the best acne skin care i have ever used

Cons:

quite difficult to get it in the store,i got it easily in swiss but is difficult to get the product in london

absolutely amaing,the products has nice frangrance...the exfoliating with microbeads work well on dead skin cell and haven cause any irritation so far,but to avoid irritation i only use exfoliat gel cleanser at night while morning i use the acne cleanser without microbeads.the toner is nice at first as my face as very oily,but i started to see dramatic result after i used product and now my skin is dry...so i stop using toner and just stick to the night cream and moisturiser.the day cream work perfectly,nice scent..and both night cream and day cream has matt effect.love it.. when the first week i used the product my skin has more white heads,popping out from my skin but i think is the product clearing out the skin,took about two week now i hardly have any whitehead popping out from the skin...less acne which is good...hope the longer i use the better my skin would be.

Pros:

Smells good,does not dry up ur face, its good for most skin types.

Cons:

made my face breakout even more for two weeks

it made me break out my first two weeks but i heard that it would do that till it actually clears my skin up... I've been using the gel cleanser the hydrating cream and the localized breakout treatment for two weeks... I'm going to keep using it for 4-6 weeks to see if the results will be good

Pros:

Normaderm Deep Cleansing Gel is the best! It washes out oil more effectively than all the washing gels I've used before. Dries out and reduces white-heads as well as black-heads. Keeps breakouts at bay and reduces existing ones.

Cons:

Dries severely. Don't buy exfoliating gel - its granules are awful, they'll damage your skin and cause worst breakout you've ever had. Moisturizer doesn't moisturize at all! And doesn't keep your shine at bay. Don't buy whole line, just cleansing gel

I've bought exfoliating gel (it made me break out because of the granules), had to switch to the Deep Cleansing Gel, which is awesome. Then I've bought moisturizer(Hydrating Care) and it dried my skin even more. Though skin will look pretty flawless after you apply it (it's more like matifying lotion), it starts to shine after 1-2 hours, and I have rather dry skin. However, if you have some small whiteheads, it'll shrink them quite fast. Nevertheless, it's not worth 25 $, so buy just the cleanser.

Pros:

Good smell, nice skin texture after using the moisturizer.

Cons:

It worsened my almost flawless skin.

I've been using the Normaderm treatment for over 4 weeks, because I had some blackeads on my nose. During the past weeks I noticed how my blackheads got reduced (today, they're smaller but still there). These results made me buy a second bottle of "day moisturizer" (now I use the "reinforced efficiency" one). Sadly, on the fifth week I start to breakout all of a sudden (not on my nose, but on my cheeks and forehead, areas in which I've never suffered from acne before!). I think I'm gonna stick to Normaderm for a few more weeks, to see if my skin clears and stay that way. Otherwise I'm gonna quit: It's not a deal to be paying a huge price only for getting breakouts I've never had before in my entire life (I'm 25 y/o). At the end of the day, my original blackeads were unnoticeable compared to my current breaktouts caused by Normaderm.

Pros:

the night cream works very well and leaves the skin sliky smooth the next day.

Cons:

the cleanser breaks me out

for myself, i use the night cream only and it works very well.

Pros:

Prevents more blemishes
Clears up existing blemishes, but SLOWLY

Cons:

Breaks you out after 2 weeks ish.

I'm using the deep cleansing wash and the anti imperfection concentrate. I suffer form whitheads on my forehead, and occasionaly around my nose, and sometimes get pustules on my forehead. I havn't had any new whiteheads since i started using this, and my existing ones are now smaller, or even gone. The anti-imperfetion concentrate works best out of all salycilic acid treatments i've ever used, and diminishes red marks really well. It broke me out about 2 days ago, but that might just be because of PMT, and anyway, it's clearing up now.

Pros:

Seems to work to my insistent pimples, especially on my forehead. Texture kinda good, evens out skin nicely.

Cons:

At first seems to irritate skin a bit and make it break out. Also dries out skin and it seems to peel off but I don´t know if this is because of the renewing effect.

I have had acne in my teens and still have oily/combination skin with dry surface. Lately my problem have been my swollen pores which is why I bought this product. It seems to work fine also with my pimples and is renewing my skin. The only downside is that it seems to have a bit drying effect. I am only using day and night moisturizers from this product line. I ´ve only been using Normaderm for 1 week and the results are promising. My sking looks more clear. I will keep using the products and make my final decision after 1 month.
