Cons:

it didnt last long for as fast as it worked

I mean, it worked well, no doubt, but t didnt stay working well. Plus, after my first week, the acne came back. I didnt like the grit either.

Pros:

* Less expensive than Proactiv
* Easy open bottles
* Potentially the same results as Proactiv

Cons:

* Toner burns sometimes when you put it on
* Lotion tends to have some small textural grains in it
* Cleanser does not have grains like Proactiv and is more liquidy

I have only been on this product for about a week and am seeing the same results I saw with Proactiv, which I was on for about a year. I have occasional flare-ups and one day hope that my skin will be perfect, especially for my wedding in about a year. The main reason why I stopped Proactiv was the cost and a friend recommended Klear Action to me. I am hoping that with continued use, this product will work better than Proactiv. The toner tends to burn when I put it on, so be cautious of this within your first few uses. This may change as I continue use. I also think that this product tends to bleach items more often than Proactiv, do take precautions when using towels/washcloths. Lastly, the reparing lotion has some grainy texture to it. This threw me off at first, but I guess this is just what it is supposed to be like. The overnight cream is wonderful. It does not dry out your skin overnight as the Proactiv overnight cream did and seems to work quite well. Recommended product so f

Pros:

works great! If I see a pimple start. I put the zapper on it, and its gone the next day! I only paid $10.00 for the kit at Ross. What a deal. You cant beat it. My daughter has pimples and she is 26 years old. I keep telling her to try it.

Cons:

none. Alot of people complain about the bottles being too small. I only use very little of each product. I think you are using too much. How can you complain with the price? I wear eye makeup, so I use a different cleanser for my eyes.

Use it like it says. One time a day for a week. Or use one product at a time to see if it irritates your skin. I am 47 years old. Most of the people using this are teenagers. My skin was gettins scars from my pimples being so bad. When you get older you pores are larger and get clogged easier. Most women use creams and lotions on their skin at my age, but they only break mine out BAD! I dont have any black heads on my nose any more. I put the repair lotion and zapper on my nose twice a day because its so oily. Just a drop on the rest of my face or none at all on some spots. My skin may be a little flakey in areas but its much better than having big ugly zits. READ the directions! Or change the system a little so it works for you. rome wasnt built in a day. be patient and start using it slowly. Sometimes more isnt better. I tried proactive before and it burnt my skin and gave me more pimples. I have also learned NOT to scrub my skin. Be gentle with your skin. Masks and scrubbing it makes it break out worse. Believe me, I tried it. Its not what you eat either. Take it from me, I am older and wiser. I not only have to worry about wrinkles at my age, but pimples! I shouldnt have them any more!

Pros:

I've been using this product for a little over a week and it has given me amazing results already!

Cons:

I wish the bottles are bigger so it would last longer, but since it only costs 20.00, it's not that big of a deal.

I'm 12 years old and have suffered with acne for about three years now. It's gotten really bad in the past year. I got pimples with puss all over my forehead, pimple on the side of my face, on my cheeks, and a few on my chin. I even got blackheads on my nose. I tried a few products--not many-- and they worked ok. My mom and I have been searching for some acne treatment systems that would work for me. I've been really self-conscious over my acne and just wanted to get rid of it. So, about a week ago while my mom was at Walgreens she bought this product for me. Within two days, I started to see results! I was amazed and happy. One of the tings I find really great about this product is it takes only five minutes or less and I can use it while getting ready for school and then when getting ready for bed. Both my mom and I have seen a significant difference in how my skin looks. I still have scars left from my pimples, but when my face is completely cleared of acne, I'm planning on getting a product that treats scars. In conclusion, I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone and I'm glad my mom found it for me.

Pros:

Works FAST, improves existing acne and the texture of your skin.

Cons:

None.

I've tried almost everything (change in diet, exercising regularly, steaming, miscellaneous acne products, etc. etc. etc.) and nothing seemed to give me quick or long lasting results. I received this product on Wednesday and ever since I started using it my face has improved so much. I couldn't even believe it. (My skin usually doesn't take well to anything, mind you.) I've even picked at some of my acne and it's still clearing at a phenomenal rate! I can't even imagine what my face is going to look like after an extended period of using this product. Some itching and minor redness does occur when first using the product but that's normal. Don't stop using the product. My face reacts to new products in that fashion but after a week or two the redness and itching goes away. So stick to using the product if you want to see results! It's absolutely worth it.

Pros:

It works, at least, as good as Proactive

Cons:

The cleanser runs out before the Toner and Lotion.

It works for me. I have been all my life self conscience of breakouts on my face (now 52 still acne prone). Now while using this product I have clear skin, seldom have breakouts. Any breakouts are minor and are quickly brought under control with the Blemish Zapper. This product changed my life.

Pros:

Ingredient for ingredient, exactly the same as Proactive, only costs 1/2 as much. Easy to find at most Walgreens. Walgreens often puts on sale too! Cleared up my acne. In the summer I even use it three times daily.

Cons:

The facial wash and topical treatment do not last as long as the toner, but the toner can be used with other products for in between treatments.

Definitely recommend. I get adult cystic acne which sometimes turn in to boils if I do not use this product regularly.

Pros:

Cheap and effective.

Cons:

Hard to find in stores. I have only seen it in ULTA stores, but I assume it is sold elsewhere.

I have been using this line for well over a year. The exfoliating cleanser is my favorite. It's a fine grit, so it feels effective yet gentle. Contrary to other reviews, I have never felt the toner burn my skin. The lotion is also really mild. Once the lotion absorbs, I use Oil of Olay Sensitive Skin moisturizer, followed by Bare Escentuals mineral makeup. I break out occasionally now, but for the most part, my skin stays generally clear. Before I used Klear Action, my skin was out of control!!
