Pros:

works extremely well,

Cons:

Runs out quickly

This is the best product i've ever used and that includes prescription topical ointments that i've gotten from a dermatologist. I had horrible acne, I am African-American and so not only did i have acne but it also left horrible scars on my face. But within 2 weeks all of my acne had cleared up and the scars had begun to fade. I started buying this product at Walgreens.. picked it up just by chance and now the bad thing is it they recently stopped carrying it. It's a shame but i am going to try to buy it online because it works so well.

Pros:

clears up skin, no stinging or burning, and no irritation! not very time consuming

Cons:

doesn't last very long

I have used this product for about 5 days, and I already see a huge difference. I am 14 and everything I have tried hasn't worked. When I heard about this I thought I would give it a try, and it absolutely works MIRACLES!!! My skin is not irritated like some of the other cleansers caused. Overall, this product worked amazing for me!

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:

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!!

Pros:

I can buy it whenever I need it as opposed to having it show up delivered too soon.

Cons:

I agree with another user's comment that it leaks when traveling and it can burn if you've recently irritated your skin, i.e. a fresh shave.

I have acne, eczema, and sensitive skin. I've used many different products including cleansers(Cetaphil is gentle but doesn't clean as well and costs about $14 a bottle), toners (I used Almay but then they stopped making it, then Dove and now I can't find that either, both were about $8-$9 each) and lotions (Pond's is about $8). Altogether I would spend much more than what this system costs. Is this the best thing out there? Everyone's different. It's definitely the best thing I've used. Proactiv may be better but I've found this and it works so I'm not going to chance it. And at double the price I doubt if the results will be twice as good.

Pros:

I saw improvement immediatley

Cons:

now getting cystic acne

I'm not sure if I should stick with it, or stop using. I began using it becuase of cystic acne and I saw immediate improvment on my overall complexion but now I have 3 new cystic bumps. I don't know if I should continue use or if it's causing more problems. Anyone else had more cystic acne develop and keep using it with good results?

Pros:

Affordable, easily accessible and works GREAT!

Cons:

Pore Cleanser only comes in 4 oz bottle and you will run out of this first. However, you can purchase individual bottles on line.

I am 39 y.o. and have completed 3 courses of Accutane!! My derm. was stumped as to why she "couldn't keep me clear". Spirnolactone (diuretic) worked for awhile but I grew tired of always swallowing a pill for this!! A friend recommended this and I LOVE, LOVE,LOVE this product. My skin is so clear that I am actually showing it off w/minimal foundation and receiving compliments on my skin. I recommend it to everyone and started my 13 y.o. son on it.

Pros:

CLEARS acne FAST, quick and easy to use, cheap!, good ingredients

Cons:

chemical smell (but I've gotten used to it and it isn't terribly strong), dries my skin, bleaches, if I miss a day my skin begins to break out, only lasts a month

This product is AMAZING! I will not try anything else now that I have used Klear Action. My skin is, for the most part, clear. I break out from stress and the stage makeup that I am required to wear for the play I am in. I started using this right in the middle of a very stressful time and when I was wearing stage makeup for long periods of time. I doubted that Klear Action would be able to help me. I was pleasantly shocked when it not only fought against new break outs, but cleared the tough acne I had. I have tried many (and I mean MANY) kits and other products before and nothing else has done such a marvelous job. As far as Cons go I have to buy a moisturizer to use at night as some parts on my face begin to get dry. I also have to be careful because it does bleach fabric and hair. It don't really like the smell and I find that some kits have more beads in them than others. Lastly, I missed one day and my skin began to break out, so be careful! Oh and it only lasts me a month.
