Pros:

Works temporarily. and works on different people -so it might work for you.

Cons:

Made my face red for about a year and greatly irritated and burned my skin. (oobiviously i have sensitive skin.)

Might work for you, and if you have severe acne like i did - anything is worth a try. Just if you're like me and have sensitive skin (like moi) then yoy might wanna restrain from the scrubbing face wash.

Pros:

fewer breakouts, and they heal waaaay faster.

Cons:

dries out your face ALOT for the first two weeks of use. face still gets oily in t zone, but only the tiniest pimples there once in a while.

Like any other skincare product, this must be used consistantly(twice per day!), it takes a few weeks to see results, but it reduces breakouts, and when you do get one, it lasts for 1-3 days. anyone who gets those deep pimples knows what i'm talking about. those suckers can take a week or more to go away.

Pros:

It worked well enough for a few years then seemed to stop over night.

Cons:

It dries out your skin if you don't ease in to using it, or moisturise,

I was happy with it until it stopped working, I guess I built up a tolerance to it. I cancelled my subscription.

Pros:

Simply dose not work!

Their product does not work, yet they cycle charge and ship a new set once a month.

Pros:

clear skin. convenient. easy to use. fast results.

Cons:

bleaching of bath mat from toner? and shirt that I sleep in.

I did many prescription acne products and all of them were too harsh. I couldn't get waxed or it took too long and required daily application. If you have mild acne proactiv is good. My pores clear up totally truly breaking down the nasty stuff. It makes my skin look like I came out of a sauna. I didn't know any medication could work this well. But I don't need to use it everyday. It's more like 3 times a week every week. If you use it very often or too much of it I would imagine it would get less effective over time.

Pros:

I liked the smell, the texture, and how it made my skin feel. It worked really fast, and leaves a clean feel.

Cons:

If you are sensitive to benzoyl peroxide, don't use it.

Love that product! it was worth the money! it works great! Clears skin up really fast, the frangrance is nice, fresh, sorta like a swimming pool and fresh rain mixture, that's what it smells like, a swimming pool and fresh rain.

Pros:

Umm skin felt fresh and less bacteria

Cons:

irritated my skin causing massive eruptions EVERYWHERE totally ruined my face for a month thankfully clearlight and microdermabrasion saved me

If you have sensitive skin i would not recommend it or skin which gets irritated easily it will make it worse..Maybe not?? everyones skin is different but made my skin horrible i suggest to everyone to drink 5 cups of caffenine free green tea every day heaps of water resist greasy foods, they jsut arent worth the eomtional pain that comes with it. Have a good diet get 5 servings of fruits and vegies..SMOOTHIES are great ways to do this just add some low fat yogurt.breath in deeply when stressed or angered..be happy and please stay strong cause i know how horrible it feels but with perspiration you will make it through:)..also maybe try yoga...and also try seeing a docter first of all to get hormones checked. i HIGHLY RECOMMEND MICORDERMABRSION COMBINDE WITH CLEARLIGHT..Even if you have exsiting acne, microdermabrasion will suck out impurities while removing dead skill cells and skin wont be irritated cause the CLEARLGIHT treatment will kill existing acne bacteria:)

Pros:

There were alot of comercial advertizment that prompt you to buy the product. If you miss a comericail and didnt get the phone # it will be on within the hour you can get it then.

Cons:

It did not work. My doctor told me ther was no reason for this product to be a miracle.

I was mostly upset to learn that my trial was a monthy shippment that no one mentioned. And the free trial vitamins would keep comeing also again without being reorederd. Oh and the best part when returned they did not have to credit my credit card in full. There withheld shipping charges on merchandize I NEVER agreed to keep recieving month after month. So if you want to tey this product they will put you on an automatic program and good luck getting them to stop.
