Pros:

see improvement within the first week

Cons:

drys out skin

I started breaking out last November, started off mild that I completely broke out all over. Everyone I knew was asking me what happen to my once flawless face. people recommended pro active, clean clear, and other acne systems and non off them worked. I tried Neutrogena Advanced Solutions and within the first week i saw dramatic change. Ive been using it for about a month and a half now and im glad to say that 98 percent of my acne has cleared up. This product prevented new acne from appearing, faded some of my acne scars and is clearing up my skin. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT.... I thought there was no hope until i started using this it... i just suggest that you use a different moisturizer, i use biore it moisturizes my skin better

Pros:

Works very well and leaves my skin feeling soft.

Cons:

nothing

It works and the reason i said there are no cons is because even though it does dry your skin if you use a mouisturizer above it and your face is not sensitive then your ok. So i have very light acne but enough to were people notice it and i started using ProActive but it worked for 2 weeks then made my acne worse and it is so expensive and the shipping sucks so i decided to use this because it's cheaper and i can get it at the store. I personally love it and i recommened using neutrogena advanced solutions.

Pros:

Starts working immediately.
Good for people with adult acne.
Mild Cleanser.
Reduces the "normal" pimples and bumps significantly.
Easy to use.
Comes with a lotion with SPF.
No annoying toner like Proactiv.
The box came with a $4 off coupon for your next purchase of the system and $2 of any neutrogena make-up.

Cons:

Does not work as well on cystic acne, but does work better than other "systems"

Within three weeks it greatly cleared up my red bumps, small pimples, tightened pores in my blackhead areas, and those bumps that are not quite pimples but seem to be everywhere. It seems to stop acne in its tracks, no new zits to look for each morning. Face feels smoother! Day lotion works well under mineral makeup. I think it is a great and easy system to use and I can introduce different products like a face peel or mask every week without over drying/irritating my face. Unfortunately, my cystic acne is has not greatly abated with this system but it seems to have reduced the size of them when they do surface. I recommend easing into the system at first. Use the cleanser and day lotion daily and introduce night lotion every other night. Start using it every night after a week or two. That should help with the irritation. If your skin is irritated, reduce the amount or the frequency you use the night lotion. ***Check the neutrogena website for their $5 off coupon!***

Pros:

The cleanser is very light but I was suprised at how well it cleans and smells for that matter,I've used pro-activ before and it feels like your washing your face with sand and smells pretty strong so this is pleasant

Cons:

None so far I've read that a lot of people complain about the dryness and tightening of your face but i look at it as it working,I rather have it dry my face up then it be super oily like with pro-activ but that's my opinion

Its my first day using this product but so far so good.....will update my review in about a week so well see how it goes

Pros:

When I started sing it, within two days my acne began to clear up. It works great removing pimples overnight. It maks popping pimples easier (it "hardens the pus so when I squeeze pimples it easily comes out like a worm and the bump goes down :))

Cons:

Seeing that I live in the Caribbean, sun exposure wen using this product irritates my skin a bit, but the moisturiser, makeup and sunblock helps

I LOVE IT! The best Acne product I've ever used.

Pros:

Clears up stubborn acne. No chemically harsh smelling cream (its actually quite pleasant).

Cons:

Overnight acne lotion is super strong. It really tightens and dries up your face, but when used with the moisturizer its hardly noticeable.

This product actually really works. I tried other 3-step products before and nothing has worked as well as this one. By the end of week 2, I could really see a noticeably clearer difference in my breakout areas (cheeks and around chin). Get this product now.

Pros:

Works SO FAST, completely dries up oily skin

Cons:

Sometimes a little too dry, BP feels like a mask until you get some moisturizer on there.

After browsing Acne.org, I decided I wanted to try the Regimen *without* investing in pricey BP that had to be ordered online, and the On-the-Spot cream didn't look very good either. This kit offers a 2.5% BP "lotion" as part of the set, so I tried it. Note that I HAVE NOT used the Cleanser, and only used the lotion for a day before picking up an Olay lotion because I thought it might moisturize better. I have been using a gentle med-free cleanser, applying the BP twice daily, and following with moisturizer as per the Regimen. So far: Very quick results in a day or two! I am still getting a few pimples, but they fade much quicker and bother me less than previously. Time will tell if the effectiveness holds out, but I am hopeful so far. The BP keeps my skin dry all day without the oily build-up I have always had in the past. I am very satisfied!
