Pros:

Cheaper than ProActiv and convenient to buy. I bought it at Target.

Cons:

The same pimples have flaired up and I'm seeing a lot of redness. The new pimples I've received in newer places are cystic like and I've never experienced those before.

UNFORTUNATELY my face had an adverse affect on this! After reading that I was not alone in my venture with this product I felt better... I have used this for the past month and a half and it seems to make my redness worse and is useless for clearing up the pimples.. I feel 14 again and I just turned 23 :( I feel the lotion doesn't moisturize the dryness of the acne lotion... I'm getting dry patches and uneven coloration of my skin. I'm a religious cleanser of my face and have never experienced this before with an acne product. THIS PRODUCT IS NO BUENO!!!!

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.

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

Cons:

burns

December 14, 2007

Pros:

makes my fave feel awesomely smoothe
last time I used this product, my face was absolutely blemish free.

Cons:

As soon as summer hit, the product made me break out like crazy. I would reccomend not spending much time in the sun or tanning beds for that matter. The product will work against you.

I used this product two years a ago and my face was all clear until summer came along. I stopped using it. But now that my skin has been in the worst condition it's ever been in, I'm starting to use it again and I remeber why I loved it.

Pros:

~ Reduces redness within the first couple days
~ Cleanser feels like it actually CLEANS skin
~ Night cream tightens your skin a tiny bit so you know it's working!

Cons:

~ Cleanser dries out skin a little but is helped a little with the day cream
~ Hasn't quite reduced the AMOUNT of pimples yet.

I've been using this product for a week and I love it! I can feel it working and it has definitely reduced the size and redness of pimples, however there has been no change in the amount of pimples. (hopefully that will change with continued use) Cleans and refreshs my skin in 2 easy steps... Morning: wash with cleanser and apply day cream Night: wash with cleanser and apply night cream SIMPLE! Give it a try :)

Pros:

It worked! Felt great, stimulated my skin, and completely cleared my skin in less than a week.

Cons:

It dried my skin just a little bit, but after applying a mosturizer cream, stopped drying completely.

Get it. It just works. (And don't waste your money on Proactiv, this works equally effectivly if not BETTTTER!)
