Pros:

Seems to work within the first 2 days

Day lotion makes skin feel fresh and smells nice

Cons:

The night cream drys my face a little

Any activity that involves intense sweating with the day cream just feels gross

I have only used Advanced Solutions for about 3 days and it seems to be doing the job. I have never had severe acne but ocassionally I will break out in certain areas, and sicne I have started using Advanced Solutions I havent had any new pimples

Pros:

Easy to use

Cons:

Dried out my skin, and acne got worse.

I have been using the product for just over a week and have not had good results. When I started using it I only had a few spots, now my whole face is covered in them, not to mention its all dried out. The only positive is its the only product that has managed to get rid of these little white bumps I had. Still I have worse acne then ever before

Pros:

So far the product is reducing pimples and tightening skin.

Cons:

Acne Peel (Purchased seperately) smells aweful.

I am a 29 year old African American woman with fairly good skin. But after visiting my sister in another state, my skin broke out. I don't know if it was due to the water difference or what, but I came back with pimples on my forehead, cheeks and chin. THEY WON'T go away. I tried Proactive twice, no luck. I was on my way to a dermatologist when something told me to try the "Proactive" wannabees... Especially since the dermatologist isn't covered by our insurance. So we will see!

Pros:

Gives your face great texture

Cons:

my face did not improve got worse

I got this product and used it for the first week, it seemed to be working great and then the second week, its like my face just got irritated by it and I got overnight swelling. The night cream dont just dry up your skin, it pulls it tighter, but then realises it in the morning and make you look like you have aged over night. The day cream dose nothing to help my sking cause once its on I get new acne, dont know why. The cleanser works well for me. Then main thing is it dose reducess the size of the pimples I got. I went from getting big pimples to little ones and I went from young to old.

Pros:

Works really well, I see results really fast. And plus, the cleanser smells like baby oil! =]

Cons:

The lotion is a little bit drying, so I use it as an on-the-spot creme.

I really like this line of products, and I recommend it to others.

Pros:

reduces acne

Cons:

slightly dries skin
lacks a toner

i'm 16 using this system for over a year. it has worked really well for me. i use to have bad acne and once i started using this it reduced it so much to the point where i only have 1 or 2 pimples to worry about. When i forget to use the system, or atleast the "night" lotion i get random break outs. so i guess that means it's working well with me. the system might not work for everyone but i know it's been perfect for me. the only issue is i currently have a random dry spot on my chin, it's not horrible, you don't really notice it. i don't know if it's a result from the system or what. i also am dry on the corners of my mouth (i do not drool. haha) but yea... i like it. i don't use the moisturizer though. only because it's only SPF15. i use an SPF 30

Pros:

Made my face feel fresh, and gave me some confidence.

Cons:

It didn't do anything for me. It gave me one of the worse breakouts of my life. Dried me skin out pretty bad.

I wouldn't buy this product again. It says it works better then proactiv, but I was so sadly disappointed. Dont do it.
July 13, 2008

Pros:

starts clearing up skin up pretty quick but i have been using it for about a month and two week it cleared ALOT of acne up quick but it seems that some area are more harder to rid of than others

Cons:

i have been using the product about month and two weeks but i dont know if im impatient or has it really stopped working.

it clears up acne not i dont know if completely yet cause i just started using it like i said times before about a month and two weeks but hopefully in about another month i can write back and tell you if it has cleared it up.

Pros:

Only about 20 dollars, works in a week or so

Cons:

Can be a bit drying, and I'm not convinced that my breakouts are gone for good

Use it in moderation and you'll be all set
