Pros:

To be honest the only pro was getting my shipment pretty fast

Cons:

The portions are horrible, the smell is annoying, the cleanser feels uncomfortable to place on your face.

I bought my product back in 2001 and I used it for months to almost a year. Trust me washing "religiously" and being "patient" has nothing to do with this product working or not. To be frank this product doesn't work. I broke out worse. Now I went from Moderate acne to Severe instantly using this product and still am struggling with it.

Pros:

Clears skin up for the first week or two.

Cons:

just about everything. it dried my skin out really bad and it makes me break out so easily. my acne wasent that bad until it started this product, now it is horrid and in completely random places. also i have dark spots.

i highly DO NOT reccomend anyone to use this product.
July 30, 2009

Pros:

Works really well. It is not harsh at all. Unscented.

Cons:

Expensive. And you have to wait for it to ship. YOu have to join their club (they ship it every month) but it takes me more than a month to go through all the product. So I join, get my product, then cancel my membership. Then re-join later.

Works really well. It is not harsh at all. Unscented.

Pros:

The toner kind of stings when you put it on (I sort of like that because it makes me think it's working)----The bottles are all different so when I have my glasses off I know which is which.

Cons:

The gritty stuff in the cleanser feels out of place and I didn't feel like it was cleaning my skin deep down--the toner has a very harsh smell---the lotion makes your face feel very greasy and it's like it doesn't soak in right away.

I hated the stuff!! I used it for about 2 years and when I started I had very light acne (I think I was about 12 becuase my mom uses the stuff and thought I did too). I NEVER had anywhere near clear skin!!! Even when you do use it religiously, you are still never clear (my mom's been using it religiously for about 6 years and still has acne). I tried using it twice a day and it would dry out my skin soo bad I would be peeling! And since I didn't use twice a day i would get horrible breakouts! Damned if you, Damned if you don't!

Pros:

Smells good

Cons:

Expensive, never fully cleared my skin, pressed you into making automatic shipping.

It never totally worked for me. I was clearer but never blemish free. I tried it consistently for about 6 months and after not seeing much improvement gave up on it.
July 25, 2009

Pros:

works, makes skin feel clean and fresh

Cons:

a little time consuming putting it on

i recommend it if you have light acne, and oily skin. it didnt dry my skin up. i think it smells fine, try the 30 day trial, it all depends on your skin type
July 16, 2009

Pros:

I like how it feels after you wash it.

Cons:

broke out worse. pricey. blotchy skin. a combination of ance problems now.

I started using it 2 weeks ago, I use it everyday, decreased when I saw my skin got worse. I started breaking out in places i never did before.

After the fist month skin started looking as it was before
