Cons:

completely dried out my skin to the point i had blotchy red marks all over my cheeks, the driest part of my face. and constant stinging of the face with out even touching.

start with small applications to let ur skin adust to the amounts of acid, if skin is sensitive.

Pros:

I got my money back, easy return

Cons:

I reacted TERRIBLY to this

I used this last night and my face tarted itching right away. I woke up this morning with a HUGE swollen eyelid, I had to ice it to make it go down. My whole face was red, itchy, and irritated.

Pros:

The only acne product that worked for me. My skin is actually clear, not red and oily.

Cons:

can dry your skin despite the clearing moisturizer. Expensive.

I'm 38 years old now. I've had acne since I was 18 years old. Have tried everything such as accutane, murad, proactiv, neutrogena, etc. I will always have one or two huge cysts before trying on this. After trying it for almost one year now, I've never had one huge cyst although I would still get some blackheads and small pimples which don't grow big. What I really like about this product is that my skin doesn't get oily or shiny after a few hours of putting them on my skin. I'll wake up during the night and when I look in the mirror, I could see how clear my skin is, not oily, or shiny like other acne products would do to my skin. I hope this helps. But also, I am taking supernutrition multivitamin for women with organic superfoods and herbs for women, drinking green tea everyday, and eating healthier, organic foods. Once in a while, I'll cheat and eat junk foods. :-) I'm really happy I've found this product because I am tired of trying new stuff.

Pros:

My face doesn't feel very oily throughout the day

Cons:

Does not get rid of my acne at all, dries up skin

Before using this, my face wasn't too bad, I didn't need to use cover up or anything. After about two and a half weeks of using this, my face is completely dried out, flaky, AND broken out! My face looks terrible, and not only is it red and flaky, I've gotten the big, red, painful kind of zits, and I never have gotten those before. And while I used to get acne around the edges of my face, I now am getting zits right in the middle of my forehead and all over my cheeks. This product did the complete opposite of what it was supposed to!

Pros:

it made my skin less red and the acne less noticeable, albeit the acne never actually going away.

Cons:

the acne stayed, if not more appeared, and it made my skin dry and blotchy, staying even when i used the dramatically different moisturizing gel as others have recommended on here.

i suppose its only my skin, because some positive reviews are on here, stating the miracle like results from this product. overall, it doesn't seem to be working for me, but i will continue use and if my skin quality seems to change, i will post another review stating so. i suggest the trial kit first, and stick with it for the entire month, because it does take a while to start working.

Pros:

cheap, easy to use, no fragance, doesnt dry out skin

Cons:

gave me cystic acne, which i've never gotten before until now

i've tried everything, and once i started using this product i thought things were looking up. my skin looked perfect for about 1 and a half weeks. now i have cystic acne (the big red pimples that hurt). i've never gotten this type of acne until i started to use this product.

Pros:

smooth skin after a few weeks

Cons:

got a few breakouts though ... and skin peeling... and oily on the t-zone

I'm still in the stage of trying this out... so i'm still waiting for the "end result".. i bought the whole acne system plus i bought the "special" moisturizer, the 7-day scrub cream ...

Pros:

Made my skin feel smoother, Cleared up existing acne around chin.

Cons:

Drying, but bearable. Doing nothing to help me with my scarring!!

I don't have alot of acne, just very persistant and constant since I was about 14. I've tried alot of drugstore brands, plus tersasceptic, clindoxyl gel, and differin and nothing helped. I finally broke down and got this clinique system, and I think that it's working more because I am using it twice a day regularly. I hope it continues to work because I am enjoying it's results!!
