Pros:

Not harsh on my skin like other acne products; inexpensive; no harsh odor

Cons:

Like other acne products, bleaches towels and clothing. Use white towels to pat your face dry! Also put a washcloth or other cloth over your pillow, as you will sweat and bleach parts of your pillowcase.

Wonderful product. Got some because PA was too expensive for my budget at the time. Noticed results almost immediately--mostly because I was more conscious of touching my face and avoided doing so. The real results came about a week and a half later. On a trip back to my mom's I lost all three bottles. Within a few days the blackheads started to get a little puffy and sore again, and within a week the acne was back. Bought another round of KA and voila, problem solved. I will never have to use another product except maybe moisturizer+suncreen again. So glad I stumbled across this one.

Pros:

Cost. Available at local drusgstores. Doesn't dry or burn my skin. Keeps away my chronic cystic acne!

Cons:

None. But, I do run out of cleanser way faster then the lotion of toner.

This product works very well. I am a 33 year old woman who suffers from chronic bouts of cystic acne, about 1-2 times a year (seasonal?). The cysts unfortunately form on my cheeks (yuck!). Since I began using this I have not had even one cyst! It has been about 4 months since I began using this. I used to take high dosages of minocycline - and although it also worked well, I wanted to get away form systemic antibiotics. This has proven to work well so far!!! However, my most severe breakouts usually occur in the Spring. I'll post an update...

Pros:

This works! Doesn't have an awful odor

Cons:

A bit runny. Also ran out of cleanser before toner and acne repair lotion.

Definately a must buy for those with mild or moderate acne. Didn't dry out my skin. Please keep using. Do not give up on it if you do not see results right away. My skin got worse before it got better. I have been using for 2 weeks and am down to only 2 small blemishes which are clearing up at this point.

Pros:

Works very well; my daughter had bad skin and we tried PA and it didn't work at all. A friend suggested KA and it worked immediately. I then got adult onset acne and started using it and it works great.

Cons:

The Blemish Zapper works great as well, but you can't get it from the store and the shipping from the website is ridiculous.

It works

Pros:

Affordable. Works well. Same results as ProActiv but cheaper. Can buy it in stores or order online.

Cons:

Bit runny

I used Klear Action for several years after I started developing acne in my 20's. I started with ProActiv but switched to Klear Action and never had any breakouts. Unfortunately, my skin may have developed a resistance to both PA and KA, as neither work now. I'm even trying to do research to see if my move a year ago where I had to start using city water instead of well water has somehow had an adverse effect on my skin. I have recommended this product to friends and family though, because for years it was a miracle for me!

If you are looking to purchase each item individually you can go to [link removed]> Also, I noticed some people complained about leaky bottles for travel, but my kit came with a mini travel kit of all 3 items...maybe they are catching on.

Pros:

It works!! and it costs less than proactiv and it's more accessible.

Cons:

The toner can be a little rough and the cleanser can seem a little abrasive.

This product works. I am a 27 year old acne sufferer and after trying to control my problem with birth control pills which made me feel like crap, and also using dermatologist prescribed skincare whicn worked but was a pain to get and very expensive I was happy to find out about this line while searching on the internet and I figured after all the money I have wasted on products that didn't work what was another $20. I was happy to discover that this did work. At first the toner was a little strong so I added some witch hazel and that made it way more bearable and still affective. I used the system as reccomended for the first 2 days but then noticed the cleanser can felt a little abrasive since you are basically exfoliating your face morning and night so I use my regular creamy cleanser 1 time a day instead of the Klear Action cleanser.

Pros:

cheap, can buy it in a store

Cons:

irritating formula

I was using proactiv, but it was expensive, so I tried this instead. Big mistake. waste of money. the cleanser is too runny, and it spills out of the container. it also has no scubbies like proactiv. the toner bottle leaks and leaked all over my things when travelling. and even though it was alcohol free, it burned and irritated the heck out of my face, and turned it red. ouch. the lotion was too heavy feeling and didnt dry fast, felt sticky. I never had any of these problems with Proactiv. Its not worth the $$ you save, proactiv is so much better and worth the extra money. the cleanser is the only thing OK about this set, but like I said, I like some exfoliation.
