Pros:

Seems to brighten skin. Reduced break-outs, recudes the healing time acne. My skin is oily, so I don't find it drying like others. It's very nice, just remember to use it regularly.

Cons:

Kinda expensive, but it works. 70 CDN for the three step (full size) kit.

It's good, just know that it is a strong solution and it will take a few weeks for a true result.

Pros:

Ive just started using the product and it really refreshes my skin unlike the other products that drys it out.

the 2nd step lotion is awsome....when i use a cotton ball and wipe my face with it...i COULD see all the dirt and bad stuff on it.

Cons:

dont buy the big packs..very expensive.I got the small one with the 3 step and everything in it

Its awsome...oh and dont use the product independent follow the 3 steps and it will be great

Pros:

It makes your skin VERY smooth. It also made my acne appear less harsh.

Cons:

Doesn't really prevent zits. Chocolate is my poison when it comes to my face and it didn't prevent them.

Like all acne products, it depends on the person and how often you use them. I've been on mine for about 3 weeks and I've been bad and get lazy and won't wash my face for 2 days or so. But I think if you keep using it religiously I think you will have good results. I've tried other ones and this regimen seems to be working the best for me. I wish people would take that into consideration. That not all acne products work for everyone.

Pros:

it really works well with acne, after a few days i could see my forehead clear up and most of my blackheads. I also have super dry skin and it is super gentle and doesnt dry me out.

Cons:

i still get few breakouts, its a little costly, but ts pretty much worth the price.

its good for acne and gentle on skin, i use it with the 7-day scrub cream and its great:]

Pros:

not sure yet

Cons:

very drying, especially steps 2 and 3...I started using the whole system, but my skin became extra tight and dry to the point where I couldnt smile or talk because my skin would literally crack and bleed. Now I am pretty desperate so using step 3.

I was blessed with pretty good skin untill I hit my 20s, now its a living nigtmare. All my cheeks are covered in pimples, that hurt and nothing is helping. I threw out steps 1 and 2 as they are way too drying when used together, and now I am using Step 3 (which contains Benzole Peroxide) after I use a salicylic acid aveeno face wash + a salicylic acid clear complection lotion. So hopefully this will work **crosses fingers**

Pros:

COMPLETELY got rid of acne within a week!!
Easy 3 step system, nice clean scent, good price
makes skin feel very clean

Cons:

All 3 steps caused slight drying, no big deal

I had moderate acne, mostly on my forehead and occasional pimples everywhere else. It said to use twice a day, which i did for a week. After a week, any acne was completely gone, including those annoying blackheads you get on your nose. At this point, I started to only use it once a day (before bed) just to maintain my results. I did experience some drying around my nose and mouth, but nothing too bad. PLEASE TRY THIS!

Cons:

expensive and it didn't do anything

they should just stick to the make up. i had the oily/combination set and it didn't improve or worsen my skin. waste.

Pros:

Reduces redness, skin feals clean, light acne scars are starting to fade, clears up acne!

Cons:

A bit expensive, makes skin a bit dry but I recommend using Clinique's dramatically different moisturizing GEL after using the three step system, it works very well!

It is well worth a try! Nothing has ever worked like this for me. My skin is no longer red and is free of acne. Sure I sometimes get one or two pimples but they are gone the next day. It is by far the best product I have ever used.
October 15, 2008

Pros:

After only one day using the three step program my face reduced in redness, pimples were starting to dry, and my skin was smooth and soft. After using the three step program for a while, my skin tone started to even out and pimples started to fade.

Cons:

The clarifying lotion stings when applying it, however that happens with all acne products.

Overall, a GREAT product. Even though you have to spend more money on it than when you buy something like clean and clear, the three step program doensn't disappoint.
