Pros:

Easy to use, liked the overall regimine, cleanser felt like it was working as soon as I began using it

Cons:

the moisturizer is not thick enough so I have to use another moisturizer, I have used it for 7 weeks and my face continues to break out worse than it ever has before.

My face breaks out worse than before and heals much slower than normal. It said it would clear up acne in 3 days and did not. Plus on the box it said it was better than proactive and others, but it is definately not.

Pros:

Clears pimples fast, reduces redness, and doesn't dry out skin!

Cons:

All smells kind of funky...but you get used to it.

I am someone who has such sensitive skin that it breaks out simply by looking at it wrong. This product has made my skin look and feel so amazing without the usual adverse effects of drying, flaking, and being red and irritated. It works so well! I'd suggest using it in conjunction with the acne mark fading peel. Both together have made such a difference in my life. If nothing has ever worked for you, this one just may!

Pros:

Inexpensive, Felt good on my skin (for a little while anyway).

Cons:

I had more acne after I started using this product than I ever have before. I broke out under my eyes and on my forehead-places that I have never had acne. I'm not sure if I should keep trying or just end the damage here.

It looks like it has worked for other people, but for me, this was a disaster. My skin is dry and I have more acne than I have ever had in my life.

I've been using this for a few weeks and I definitely see a difference. But I use it very specifically and with two other products, which I recommend following if it dries out your skin: In the morning, I first use a really gentle exfoliating cream (St. Ives Apricot Scrub for Sensitive Skin, about $5 - with water), then the Neutrogena cleanser. Then I use the Neutrogena day lotion. If I'm going to be applying makeup, then I use an additional moisturizer (like Lubriderm or Garnier Fresh). Then at Night, I use the Neutrogena cleanser again and the Night lotion (only on affected areas). So far my skin has been clearing up and haven't had any new pimples since I started. I still have plenty of red marks, but I know they will fade naturally in a few months. (Plus, this was one sale when I bought it.) I definitely recommend this, but also recommend an additional exfoliating cream and light moisturizer.

Pros:

After a little while of using it, I really did see a differance, my face was smoother, and my acne cleared up a lot. It's rather easy to use.

Cons:

It dried out my skin way too much after a few months, and my skin just started breaking out again. My face was more pink/red than usual.

It works, you just get a little dry from time to time. I found that if you wet your face, and then scrub it with a wash cloth, then watch with the product and scrub again, then rinse.. you don't get so many dry flakes on your face when you're all finished.

Pros:

No active acne after only four days

Cons:

Just seems like a lot of product

No active acne after only four days. I will see how it progresses as it seems the other posts do mention this. Sometimes drying, but only put bp on major problem areas, other than that the facial wash is really working. Use small amount of moisturizer. Even though I have no active, i still have ton of red marks :-(

Pros:

The acne polisher is really soapy and refreshing and i liked it. And the morning stuff was cool.

Cons:

Night stuff made my face stiff a little.

Okay ppl on here are whining about the night stuff making your skin stiff its really not that bad it goes down after awhile and you shouldnt be putting it all over your face. And if its causing redness that probablym eans your allergic to it duh!! Some morons are putting really stupid comments on here. But anyways i think its cool and i looked at the ingredients and it has 2 of the recommended ingredients to help acne. so far i think its cool.

Pros:

The cleanser cleaned my face pretty well.

Cons:

The lotions gave me the worst rash I've ever gotten from a product. Not only did it NOT moisturize my face, it made my face extremely rough and dry and irritable. Even a week of no use, my skin has not gotten back to its original state.

The cleanser is the only thing usable. Even though it's advertised to being better than Pro-active, it's not. I would suggest buying only the cleanser if possible because it works pretty well. In my 22 years of life, I have never had a bad reaction to an acne product before this one nor had my skin ever gotten as bad as it has after using the lotions. I'd say don't use it, unless you want to get laser surgery done after using it, to remove the dry/rough layer of skin from your face.
