Pros:

The smell is pleasant, and thats about all.

Cons:

Significantly worsened acne over period of a few days.

I very rarely write negative reviews on products, but my experience with this one was so terrible, that I have to send out a warning. After months of acne I was finally clear again, but the cleanser I was using left my skin very dry. This product sounded like an excellent candidate for a moisteriser I could wear throughout the day. After the first application it did leave my skin feeling fresh and matte, but within a few hours I noticed a few small pimples emerging. I didnt think much of it, "this is probably my small monthly breakout" so I applyed a small amount again that night. The next morning (in all the areas I applyed the product) my face was totally broken out. Horrified I stopped using it right away. It is months later now and my face has yet to return to how clear it was... To prove my theory, a couple weeks later, I applied a small amount to my temple area (always clear) sure enough, the next morning it was inhabited by pimples. This product may work for some, but not me.

Pros:

clears skin, lovely smell, great fresh feeling

Cons:

price

buy this product to clear your skin and reduce oiliness and red spots. IT leaves your face with a fresh feeling all day especially if you follow the recommendation on this site of only washing your face once a day. Acts really fast and has no side effects, especially if you have a (VERY) sensitive skin that reacts to almost any ingredient in acne curing cosmetics!

Pros:

It's gentle to the skin, won't dry out the skin too much and will reduce excess sebum. Another good thing is that their toner contains 0% alcohol.

Cons:

Prices are a little steep. But since it shows result on my skin, I guess I can close one eye... The Night Chrono-Active Pore Refining Care makes my skin feels abit pricky but no harm done.

I first bought the Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care to test my skin, and felt that it's really good. My skin doesn't feel as oily as before and it stays that way for a couple of hours. Even if oil starts to appear, it's only minimal. Went on to buy the rest of the products under that range. So far it's doing well on my skin though my forehead broke out after about a week's use. Maybe my bangs and the hot weather irritates it, but now my acne is clearing up pretty much. I stongly recommend the Active Anti-imperfection Concentrate. It really clears away blemish after 24 hours and it doesn't dry out the skin or causing flaky skin around the inflamed area either like most acne products do. But I guess results differs with various individuals (as one can see in this review board), so it's best to get the samples or trial kit first.

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.

Pros:

Have not had any major breakouts since I've started using this product. Cleared up my skin instantly. Smells great!

Cons:

A bit pricey for my budget but well worth it.

This product works for me. People have noticed how clear my skin has become since I've started using it.

Pros:

I actually like a lot of the products. I like the cleansing gel and cleansing cream, I use one for the morning and one for the evening. Cleared up everything. I like the day cream and the blemish treatment.

Cons:

I didn't care for the night cream so much, I only use it when I don't have any major issues. I also find that the day cream runs out too quickly compared to all the other products.

I still buy it. I moved to England and I'm making a point of buying the cleansers. (if I can find a distributor) The price could be a little better...

Pros:

**Vichy Deep Cleansing Gel**It makes your skin feel oh so soft!! and it makes skin glow!! It instantley lowers your pimples and reduces redness and makes your skin feel more calm!!!

Cons:

Face feels a tad dry after, but nothing some good moisterizer wont fix!

My cousin and I bought it because we wanted a clear complexion for when we went back to school, so we used the gel and washed it off with cold water then rubbed 2 ice cubes on our face and applied a little pit of vichy ani-blemish moisturizer and now our skin is glowing, soft, and clearer! I would TOTALLY reccomend it! So go to london drugs and buy some!!! and the good thing is that its pretty cheap! Hope this helped!
