Pros:

Does work fairly well, doesn't remove all my acne, but removes most of it.

Cons:

Does not work super fast.

I have used this for about 2-3 weeks, and it has cleared up most of my acne. I will admit that if it wasn't for this, my face would be really bad. But this stuff works really well, and I love the night cream. But, it did dry up my skin a bit, so I don't think it is for those with dry skin. My skin is pretty oily, so I think it would work for me because of that.

Pros:

Worked well for a while...

Cons:

Acne got worse for the first two days... then cleared up. Now after 2 months its litterally stopped working, it might have even made my face worse.

Im not going to be one of those people that say " it doesnt work for me so it wont work for anyone" that being said give it a try.

Pros:

clears acne up pretty quick and not too drying

Cons:

does not prevent future breakouts all that well. At first it clears up mostly everything but after awhile breakouts comeback. My forehead cleared up pretty quick but a month later it came back lighter though not good on blackheads. Drys up a little

i would give it a try, depends on severity. mild to light it should be good but not strong enough for severe acne.

Pros:

It works really fast, I could definitely see changes in a few days and with time less and less breakouts which is great. The night cream is slightly drying but didn't irritate my skin which is usually quite sensitive.

Cons:

Slightly drying night cream but it really gets results so I am fine with it, just applying moisturiser in the morning takes care of that!

Would defenitely recommend it, it worked well for me but if you have really sensitive skin test out the night cream on a small area of skin first

Pros:

To those who don't have sensitive skin, it's a great system, it worked really well for a friend of mine.

Cons:

However, it was because of this product that I found out that I have an allergic reaction to benzoyl peroxide. If you have sensitive skin: STAY AWAY. I only used the system for a weekend and I woke up to find out my face was swollen.

I called up Neutrogena and they were great- they refunded my money back via a check in the mail, but as I was saying before in the cons: according to the Neutrogena rep I spoke to on the phone, this system contains a strong amount of benzoyl peroxide, so if you have sensitive skin, either don't buy it or you could use it every other day. In the end, I spent almost $200 going to the derm and buying the medications to make my swelling go down, as well as a topical lotion for my acne, and the gas to get to my derm (the nearest office to me was closed, so I had to go to their sister office, 60 miles away).

Pros:

This product did not help with my inflammatory acne while i was using it did it did however take away every pimple on my forehead and chin but my cheeks still got frequent breakouts.My face was still oily also.

Cons:

Left my face oily.Didnt get the full benefit of the treatment.

Its a good treatment for people with Mild to moderate acne.People with severe acne should give up on over the counter treatments and try to go sell a dermatoligist as soon as possible.

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!
