Pros:

Nice packaging, smells good, cool to have a built-in scrub

Cons:

Too harsh for sensitive skin

I had oily skin when I started this product; it dried my skin out to the point where my follicles started churning more oil out to make up for the deficiency, resulting in oilier skin than ever before, with - get this - dry patches all over the place, because the skin underneath was producing tons of oil but the skin on top was still dry and dead from the topical treatment. The Benzoyl Peroxide also bleaches any fabric with which it comes into contact, which STINKS because it makes all your sheets look funny, and you have to be VERY careful when dressing and undressing. This product got rid of my acne for a little while, but the pain and dryness wasn't really worth it, and after about a year, just like Proactiv, my skin caught on to the game and the product stopped working.

Pros:

Improves skin texture and reduces acne.

Cons:

You have to constantly use it or you'll break out even worse. It's also harsh to the skin; the moisturizer doesn't seem to be strong enough.

It's a lot better than Proactiv, but you have to stay on the regimen. It cleared up my skin!!

Pros:

Smells nice, and easy to put on.

Cons:

RASHES on my cheeks, irritating, and dries our your skin which results in flakes.

It itches, and it dries out your acne and if you do a simple thing as blushing it will make your face heated making the rash worse. Make sure you have no emotions putting this on! I don't know about the results after a few weeks but I wouldn't want to go through that again.

Pros:

It looked attractive.

Cons:

EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had highhopes for this, but they were quickly shattered. It made my skin DRY, FLAKY, BURNT!, and it made my acne the worse it had been ever! I'm STILL recovering from the hyperpigmentation it left me along with the acne scars! DO NOT USE THIS! DO NOT USE THIS! ITS DOWN RIGHT HORRIBLE! I thought maybe it would get better but I used it for 3 MONTHS! And I regret everyday about those 3 months. I was in serious pain. I couldn't smile without it hurting because of my cyst acne it gave me. And I got it on my cheeks, I usually get on my forehead but no no no. I got it on my cheeks. Use Image Skin Care.

Pros:

moisturizer doesn't make my skin oily, makes a great base for makeup - but make sure to apply with a wedge, NOT with your fingers!

Cons:

Combination of the scrubbing cleanser and night lotion may overdry sensitive or normal skin types, with peeling in the drier areas on combination skin. Use sparingly!

This was a good thought, but the combination of the three products didn't work too well for me. Had the kit just been the facial cleanser and the Day lotion (moisturizer), this would be a much better option - the Night lotion seems to make problem skin worse by overdrying. Best option to apply both lotions is definitely with a wedge, NOT with fingers - helps reduce overapplication. Combination was well-thought out, but perhaps meant more for the most extreme cases of acne, not moderate-to-mild. I would like to see the kit contain only the cleanser and day lotion, with the night lotion recommended as a spot treatment only instead of an all-over treatment.

For the past several months, I have suffered from continous breakouts on my forehead and cheeks. I have tried everything from Perricone to Retina A and for whatever reason, Neutrogena worked the best for me. I guess its because I have sensitive skin - and milder products tend to work best causing less irritation.

Pros:

It leaves you with a clean feeling and makes your face shine and if used properly will really work.

Cons:

Its gonna take about a week to really notice a differrence and in order to make a difference you must use in the night and morning and avoid choclate and grease.

it is way better than clean and clear, noxema, purpose,zapyt, terminator, etc.

Pros:

The product.. it did nothing! No, but seriously. Zero pros.

Cons:

I believe it actually made my acne worse.

This product did not work for me at all. I purchased it because I could not afford Proactiv, and was under the impression it was one of the better skin companies out there. I believe the lack of a benzoyl peroxide cleanser is what did me in, but I can't be certain. Either way, even with an astringent introduced it did not work. Not even a little bit. To boot, after the few months of using the product I have more scarring than I ever did before. While the price was right, there were zero results and the product only made me MORE self-conscious about my skin.
