Pros:

Love the moisturizer & exfoliating cleanser gel! I have it all: blackheads, large pores, cystic acne, et al. I can't just use anything on my skin because I will automatically breakout. So glad to have found these products.

Cons:

I've never tried the toner, but the Night cream with Zinc was horrible. I got tiny little acne bumps on my forehead, and stopped using it after just a week. It sits practically full on my bathroom shelf.

I would recommend the moisturizer and to use it with the cleanser gel 1-2x a week. To cleanse my face, I consistently use Philosophy Purity. It is by far the best thing out there for sensitive skin. Since I buy Normaderm @ wholesale prices, I can't complain. Where else can you get a good moisturizer for $10? And I only pay $8 for the gel so I am pretty satisfied.

Pros:

cleanser works ok-ish
daycream is ok, nightcream is pretty good

Cons:

-Toner is horrible, has alcohol, stopped using it after 3-4 days.
-nightcream iritates the hell out of my skin when I started to combine it with benzoyl peroxide due to the salicylic acid in it.

not really worth it.

Pros:

I felt that this was my final resort to acne......but it is a nightmare....you keep using this expensive product and it is of no use.....my acne is worse now....so much of my skin turned black and pealed and left wound underneath....

Cons:

No cons ....only fragrance is of no use....

Try if you have lot of money to blow.....i have tried so many of these but......no use

Pros:

leaves the skin feeling smooth

Cons:

the mosturizer dries up the skin, leaving a very bad base to apply makeup.

It made my skin really badddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!! I have suffered from acne for 7 years..it cleared up totally recently and i bought vichy to improve the texture of my skin, BUT it made it worse. I think i'm going to stop using this product. My skin looks rough, dry and has a lot of pimples on it now!

Pros:

No annoying chemical smell

Cons:

Doesn't work! Waste of money and no money back guarantee. I think this is only for people with random spots or whiteheads. Cystic acne sufferers don't benefit at all!

I have given up on this. I am now following Dan's regimen. I am applying 2.5% Neutrogena BP nightly for a week now.....will wait 2 weeks before applying it AM and PM. The BP has made some spots rise to the surface but most dried up quickly and does not get infected. Normaderm heals 1 pimple and replaces it with 2 new ones. I broke out everyday with it. The toner was quite harsh, just makes my whole face all red and ugly. As the reviews here are mixed, it's case to case but be careful with this product as it is too costly for it not to work for you in the end.

Pros:

My skin felt really clean after using the facial cleaner. The toner really left my skin feeling smooth and clean and best of all the toner did not leave my skin feeling sticky like most do. The hydrating cream left my skin feeling real smooth.

Cons:

It dries up my skin the first week I used it. But after a few weeks now, the dryness starts to gradually disappear. And its a bit pricey.

I would definitely recomend this product to people who are having bad breakouts like me and for people who are suffering from oily skin. This product will not eliminate your scars though. It is not advertised to perform such things, so don't get your hopes up. Use other product for scar treatment and a much more hydrated moisturiser as this product can give flaky skin for sensitive and dry skinned people.

Pros:

Smells nice, face feels very soft until the rash started

Cons:

Im 27, I dont have sensitive skin and have never had a reaction before to a moisturiser, but this was awful. My skin went really dry an flaky and loads of little rough spots and it stinged after the 3rd day so i stopped using it.

After 3 days i had dry red flaky patches around mouth and cheeks. The moisturise stung loads when i put it on, although it as fine the first 2 days. I still have red scars, adn little bumps on my chin and i stopped using it 3 days ago. I really wouldnt recommend it especially when ive used lots of well known brands before (ROC, Dermalogica, Clarins etc) and never had a reaction. Its my own fault for wanting to try something new i should have stuck with what im used to.

Pros:

Been using it for 3 weeks. Made me break out, I was so disappointed. I felt that the toner was too strong as it made my skin raw so i decided to stop using ti couple of days ago. When i did so i feel that my skin is responding better to the creams

Cons:

Expensive...with that price tag results ought to be faster!

I am not giving up on this product! Especially now that i've gotten rid of the toner. I'm crossing my fingers that will really work and clear me up. My acne is like a volcano-dormant for a few years then bam, back with a vengeance! My problem spot is really my chin. I gambled on NOrmaderm as i feel spot treatment is not appropriate given the situation and i cannot just put on anything as i have sensitive (and oily) skin. When i clear my acne my next focus would be on clearing up the red spots and minimizing the scars (i don't prick but there are minute marks left huhu i'm terrified of scarring)

Pros:

the daily exfoliating scrub works well and i like the way it makes my skin feel after using it and it is not overly drying.

Cons:

in use with the toner/moisturizer my skin has broken out even worse!!

i say to try it out for yourself and see what you think, it'll either work great for you or make it worse. it's a risk.

Pros:

Makes my skin feel like silk!
Night cream reduced pimples
Day cream controlled my oily T-zone and also reduced a few pimples, product last a while.

Cons:

Pricey, made me break out for the first couple of weeks.

It's a great product for me! My acne has cleared up nicely but I still have a few spots and bumps. I thought for the price the product could have been a bit better. My skin really feels soft after using the creams and it smells wonderful! Plus the product has lasted me almost 8 months (I only use it on my T-zone though) It did make me break out at first and my skin isn't completely clear yet.
