Pros:

It cleared up a little. It never made me break out more. Dosent really sting.

Cons:

It dried my face out i didnt really like the smell. I mean it wasnt horrible. The face mask didnt work for me and the green tea moisturizer stung and made my face red...not to mention it dried my face out more. It cleared my skin up sorta.

If it works for you USE IT. But it didn't work that great for me. It made my skin look better than it did before but i still had large pores and little pimples and little red bumps on my cheeks. And when i used it on my body it made the acne red and splotchy. Plus when i used it sometimes my face would be red for a day. I dont know why. It also made any make-up i wore look crappy. I dont have bad acne so i dont know why it didnt work. But everyone has differant skin...

Pros:

Smell was nice

Cons:

It didn't get the make-up off of my skin so I broke out more using Proactiv than other products.

It made my skin REALLY dry and itchy

It works for some people but not for everyone.

Pros:

Works at first. Skin felt extremely soft and smooth after first use.

Cons:

Dried my skin terribly, so I switched to just using it once a day. Then I ran out of the lotion way before the other two bottles were empty. It did not clear my skin, and was very time consuming.

I tried it for a month, and I didn't see enough improvement to try it again. I'll try something else next time.

Pros:

Worked first time.

Cons:

Expensive
Makes skin dry and red.

Instead of getting rid of the acne, it seemed to hide it more than anything. Doesn't work.

Pros:

Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields are dermetologists. Money-back guarantee.

Cons:

Leaves you with drying. Mentions that helps prevent new pimples from forming but this was the exact opposite. Never once mentions that it doesn't work for everyone + individual results may vary. Deceives you into thinking it works for everyone.

Doesn't work for everyone/most people. Don't waste your money or time or your fabrics.

Pros:

The packaging is neat and organzied, but takes up a lot of space. It smells ok.

Cons:

This product made my skin so dry after only a few uses. I followed all of the instructions, and I only applied it once a day because my skin can be sensitive, but it did nothing for my acne and made my skin so dry.

Like I said, this product really doesn't do anything. I have mild/moderate acne, and I was hoping this would help, but instead I just looked like a tomato. I was so red and irritated, but the worst part is that it did nothing for my acne. I have been on it for quite a few months, and let me tell you, it is just not worth the money.
