Pros:

Improve overall apperance of skin
Reduces pores
Generally improves acne

Cons:

drys out skin
doesnt improve blackheads
hard to find
sometimes works slowly at first

Works well, use in combination with twice monthly with Neutrogena "Wave Sonic Power Cleanser". Mix provided lotion with a stronger one before applying to make sure skin doesnt dry out too much. if you have more severe acne, try Neutrogena Seven Day Intervention Kit first to clear up most acne can be found at Target or Nordstrom

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!

Pros:

works fast, easy to use and dries out my oily skin

Cons:

a little too dry if you don't have oily skin like me? but i don"t mind.

I'm fifteen with mild acne and after the first day, I even felt the difference. I had been using the clean and clear acne system that worked, but stopped after a couple of months. I had to purchase concealer about every two weeks just to cover up the blemishes. Along with the neutrogena system, I purchased the rapid clear acne spot remover. I apply it at night and it works wonders. However, the cleanser is hard to apply for me. Its a little gooey and I almost always drop some on my counter, ha. It is now my second day, and I cant wait to get up in the morning and see the difference from today.

Pros:

Got rid of 95% of acne
Non-oily sunscreen

Cons:

Can't find it
Dries skin
Harsh on skin

This stuff works! IT's the only thing I've used that really did leave me with no acne, except for blackheads and acne every once in a while. This will dry up your skin like crazy, but it works so well it's worth it. After using it for a year, I stopped using it because my face was looking dead and it was bleaching everything I touched. I went to another product and had to come back to this. I'm almost scared to use it, but my face is as clear as day. If you don't have sensitive skin, or dry, I would defiantly recommend this to you. And I would buy a moisturizer, you'll need it.

Pros:

Cons:

Face gets very dry

Works well enough that I wont stop using it, its worth a little dryness if I can look at my face and NOT see pimples everywhere.

Pros:

clears face, reduces redness majorly!!!, and leave you with beautiful. a package lasts about 2 months

Cons:

takes some time to work

i had severe acne for 6 years and tried everything. i tried PROACTIVE (sucks), scrubs, clearasil, ACNE FREE (flakey skin). i thought nothinng wouldbut 4months ago i started using NEUTROGENA ADVANCED SOULTION ACNE THERAPY SYSTEM and in weeks, my redness reduce drastically, my face finally became soft, and it has been clearer than ever. When i woke up and my acne free skin, i was literally crying :') because having acne for so long and nothing working and being embarassed the whole beginning of being a teenager, this neutrogena system gave me back my self esteem and now im not afraid to walk out my door into the world. Neutrogena brings back dreams, and it can with you too. you just have to be patient. ;) glad luck to everyone, everyone has a beautiful side. let neautrogena help you show it. it did for me!!!

Pros:

Doesn't dry out my skin too much, only under my nose a bit. Works fairly well.

Cons:

A tad bit drying. It also takes a while to work, but then starts working.

This product works really well. It doesn't clear acne completely or prevent it too much, but it stops it and controls it. I used to have mild acne, but now it is definitely mild to none. If a new zit pops up, this will control it and slow down the process in which it grows in.
