Pros:

Don't have to order in the mail and it's a little cheaper than Proactiv.

Cons:

Not only does it not work, it makes your skin even worse! Night lotion really dries out your skin.

I bought this product because I didn't feel like ordering Proactiv and waiting for it to come in the mail. The commercial said it was voted one of Allure's best acne treatments and that it clears skin better than Proactiv. Big fat lie, people. It does absolutely nothing besides make your skin worse than before. I started using it and it made my skin a tiny bit better the first few days, then one day I woke up and my forehead was covered in huge zits. This product is a huge waste of time and money and will mess any progress you've made in getting your skin clear.

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.

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:

It cleared my skin in about a week, smoothening it as well!

Cons:

It cleared everywhere except my nose. I got pimples inside and outside of my nose, both extremely sensitive.

It works if youre not trying to get rid of nose pimples. It works just about everywhere BUT there.

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.
