Pros:

It makes your face feel fresh after first using it.

Cons:

The day after using it my face got acne in places I've never had any problems with and my skin got really dried out about 15 minutes after using it.

I used the product for about a month and my face did not improve at all. I use to have light acne, but after using it for a month I'd say my acne is now moderate. I have decided to discontinue the use of the product and have began using the Clean&Clear system which has already lessened the number of bumps on my face after a few days of using it. Therefore I will NEVER use Nuetrogena Advanced Solutions ever again.

Pros:

i have been using it for a month now...my acne has certainly reduced.

Cons:

but my concern is that i ve noticed that whereever my skin has contact after the application of the acne control lotion or the cleanser,it had colored marks(light orangish)..i have noticed it on my sheets and my face towel.

so if this is the effect on fabric...what is the long term harm it might be causing to my skin..i dunno what to do about it...

I used Proactiv as a teen which cleared my face, smelled great, and made my skin look great. I am now in my twenties and pregnant, which has caused that acne to come back. I used this product because it advertised to work faster than Proactiv, and my face was in such discomfort I went ahead and tried it so I wouldn't have to wait for the Proactiv to be shipped. Well, I have now ordered Proactiv and will wait as long as it takes because this stuff dried my face so horribly I was in straight agony. It caused burns all over my face which felt like a horrible sunburn. My face was bright red and peeling. On top of that, it made my breakouts worse -- pimples were popping up underneath ones that were not healing -- very painful. DO NOT buy this product if you have normal skin like mine, or dry skin. I hear it works ok if you have oily skin, but you will definitely need a stronger moisturizer than the one it comes with.

Pros:

Not worth trying...just like Proactiv solutions. Try it and it works for a month and then after that it stops...back to acne and breakouts again.

Cons:

Same as the Pro....

I would like to just say that I have been using Glymed products and getting chemical peels for about 6 months now. My face is completely clear....CLEAR! I have used everything in the book from pills, creams, over the counter products, remedies, drinking plenty of water, not touching my face, not drinking soda, and tanning. This is by far the best thing that has happened to me. I have had acne from the age of 14 years old up until the age of 27. I understand the self esteem issues that come along with having bad skin..trust me. I am of color and my complexion is brown. I had marks really bad...When a I tried the Glymed products..SO SO HAPPY! Please try these products. A bit pricey but so worth it in the end...[link removed]

Pros:

Cons:

dries skin alot and does not work well

I used it for a couple of weeks and it said you would see results in 2 days but that is not true you may barely not see results and it will only work on those with a specific type of skin it dried out all on my cheecks and around my mouth and mostrizer doesnt even do the job

Pros:

none.

Cons:

absolutely does not work. made my acne WORSE. i went from a few bumps to cystic ones on my forehead (right smack in the middle, i have the ugliest bindi ever now, lol). then i had tiny little bumps on my cheeks show up

don't even bother. i rated affordability as 1 because i may as well have slathered bacon grease (which is free) on my face for all the good it did. proactiv DOES work and MUCH better than this crap.

Pros:

Cheaper than Proactiv, available everywhere.

Cons:

MADE MY SKIN WORSE THAN EVER! Because it's advertised as being better than Proactiv, I used it.. BIG MISTAKE! Usually it takes one usage to see someething works for you, I gave it a shot for a few weeks, and man, it ruined my face!!!

I searched for this site to warn you users out there, please DO NOT USE this product! Other than the fact that it's cheaper than its competitors and its accessibility in drugstores, if your face is already in good condition, save your face and please overlook this product! IT'S HORRIBLE! I brokeout, dried my skin, irritated my entire face, everything that Sarah from IL above already mentioned is true, it had the same effect on me and because of this product, I became ugly! THANK GOODNESS FOR PROACTIV!
