Pros:

Worked really well for both my kids. It cleared up their face acne and body problems

Cons:

Dont order online. Its not worth it. Order from a kiosk because you get it when you need it. No club joining involved.

It works and my whole family and friends all use. You have to be consistent with it and then you will see results.

Pros:

Only makes your sking feel soft and smooth !

Cons:

i had clear skin and hardly any pimples , now after one weeks use , my skin has staring breaking out! and my skin has become peely , and extremly dry. I dont know what to do now. I have discontinued the product and am going to ask them for a refund.

Not worth it ! too much hype as usual!

Pros:

It smells ok?...

Cons:

Caused redness & stinging.

I have oily sensitive skin and the instant I put it on my face was on fire :'( I guess its just my skin type but it didn't work for me. I thought the burn would go away after a week but it actually made my skin worse.

Pros:

Skin feels smooth, clears up acne in the beggining

Cons:

after a few week, it stops working, its expencive to order online. seems as though it bleached my skin, so my face is whiter than the resat of my body. after a while it seems like its not working at all.

I wouldnt recommend it, all the hype is a load of crap. they have obviously air brushed their pictures online. I was expecting great skin, and it didn't happen. i wouldnt bother again.

Pros:

none

Cons:

dries out the skin, causes blackheads, causes SEVERE redness, makes scars much more noticeable

DO NOT buy this product i am warning you i got it after having perfectly clear skin with clearasil and it totally screwed my whole face up and it has been like that for 4 months. do not buy this product

Pros:

worked for a short period of time .....

Cons:

is very harsh and strips skin of its natual goodness, bp is irratating, toner has alcohol and the cleanser is like a scrub so ur scrubbing ur face twice a day.....BIG NO NO

i used this product because i was so desperate and uneducated about acne at that time, this product is too harsh and does nothing in the long run....only works for a short while until ur face gets immune to the bp %. it is not a good idea to be so harsh on ur skin, over drying and scrubbing only make things worse. good luck

Pros:

Overall it does work

Cons:

Im always too lazy to do all 3 steps, dried the crap out of my skin & made is irrated, left acne scars

It worked for me but eventually i stoppped using it because i hated that it was 3 steps & took about 5-10 minutes to put on
August 26, 2009

Pros:

works great! i'm 47 years old, and my skin looks so good, i don't always wear make-up-people comment on my pretty skin. i'm also a fair-skinned red-head, and if you use it gradually, and build up to twice a day use, you won't have peeling or dryness.

Cons:

don't see any - but you have to use it as directed, and consistently.

it works - if you're having acne at any age, try this product!

Pros:

Cons:

good for some just not me
August 25, 2009

Pros:

Its nicely packaged with alot of reading material. The repairing lotion is helpful when used consistently

Cons:

The scrub doesn't lather and the toner is the equivalent to witch hazel. Too overpriced for something that really didn't work for me.

Skip it, I'm much happier with using the Regimen which is cheaper and gentler.
