Pros:

Works fast!, Not expensive

Cons:

Makes skin really dry

I have had breakouts since I was about 14... Im almost 24 now and I have never been able to find anything that really works for my skin. I did the differin gel (burned my face) Tetracycline (stopped working after 2 years) Proactiv (made my face worse) and many many more dead ends. I bought this product because of some of the reviews I read on this site. I was a little nervous because I have pretty sensitive skin. I have used it for 2 1/2 weeks and have NOT had ONE breakout. The only downfall is that my cheeks and chin are VERY dry and a little bumpy (not noticable to other people only to me when I touch my own face) Personally I'll trade zits for a little dryness. Im very happy with this product, and I'm crossing my fingers my face will begin to get used to the product drying out my skin, but if not I just carry around the moisturizing lotion and put it on alot. I'D RATHER HAVE DRY SKIN THAN BREAKOUTS! :)

Pros:

Not worth trying...just like Proactiv solutions. Try it and it works for a month and then after that it stops...back to acne and breakouts again.

Cons:

Same as the Pro....

I would like to just say that I have been using Glymed products and getting chemical peels for about 6 months now. My face is completely clear....CLEAR! I have used everything in the book from pills, creams, over the counter products, remedies, drinking plenty of water, not touching my face, not drinking soda, and tanning. This is by far the best thing that has happened to me. I have had acne from the age of 14 years old up until the age of 27. I understand the self esteem issues that come along with having bad skin..trust me. I am of color and my complexion is brown. I had marks really bad...When a I tried the Glymed products..SO SO HAPPY! Please try these products. A bit pricey but so worth it in the end...[link removed]

Pros:

Made my skin feel really smooth and reduced the minor acne. It also reduced the number of cystic acne bumps I had developing under my skin. Smelled nice. It was a manageable system to use consistently. Fairly cheap.

Cons:

The BP lotion ran out before I was even halfway through the lotion or the facewash.

You have to stick with this system. It says in the box what you expect to see after a certain number of days. Seemed to stop working after 3 months. It improved my general skin condition, but not completely smooth or blemish free. It may be a good system to start with and move up to something a little stronger or move onto prescription stuff. Made me face feel really smooth but the lotion seems a little too much. Made my skin red temporarily right after I would apply it and you can feel it on your face all day. Don't expect a miracle, just some improvement.

Pros:

great cleanser that leaves my skin refreshened. day lotion got my acne away in as little as 3 days. and mosturizer helps when the day lotion drys out your skin [ which isn't often, you just need to know how to apply the lotion right ]

Cons:

weird smell, but i don't mind.

This is the first week i've been using it and I have seen it perform miracles. My skin used to be horrible. but now it is clear with only a few left. they'll be gone before i know it!! love it!!

Pros:

Cheaper than Proactiv, available everywhere.

Cons:

MADE MY SKIN WORSE THAN EVER! Because it's advertised as being better than Proactiv, I used it.. BIG MISTAKE! Usually it takes one usage to see someething works for you, I gave it a shot for a few weeks, and man, it ruined my face!!!

I searched for this site to warn you users out there, please DO NOT USE this product! Other than the fact that it's cheaper than its competitors and its accessibility in drugstores, if your face is already in good condition, save your face and please overlook this product! IT'S HORRIBLE! I brokeout, dried my skin, irritated my entire face, everything that Sarah from IL above already mentioned is true, it had the same effect on me and because of this product, I became ugly! THANK GOODNESS FOR PROACTIV!

Pros:

*Face felt very nice after using the cleanser *Did not make my acne worse *Kept breakouts under control to some extent

Cons:

*face did dry out after the first month *lotion seemed to make me break out a little and didn't really moisterize enough *kinda of pricey

I do like this product. It didn't make my acne worse at all. It kept it under control most of the time. Although, when my period came along I still broke out. The cleanser did take a while to get used to but its manageable. Overall, this product maintained my acne but didn't perform any miracles. I've been using it for about 3 months now and I'm ready to move on to another product. I personally like using any Neutrogena product. I've been using their products since I began getting acne back in middle school and although I haven't found the right one for me, its never made my acne worse.

Pros:

-Doesn't dry my face out,no skin peeling, yet it dries up my pimples in a matter of hours!
-The face wash took some getting used to,rub it in your hands before applying to your face,it seems to work alot better.
-The day lotion isn't greasy at

Cons:

-The night lotion tightens your face & its kind of uncomfortable.
-The smell,it doesn't really have a fragrance at all.

I had a pimple on my chin & I put the night lotion on it as soon as I noticed it & it's practically gone! No Lie. I really did see a complete turn around in my skin in just one week. I've tried ProActive, other Neutrogena products, Acne Free, Apricot scrub...ect. You name it,I've used it & this is the first thing that has actually helped my skin,in other ways beside just treating my acne & blackheads! I love love love it!
