Pros:

Skin feels nice after wash
Reduces black heads and pimples!

Cons:

At first after washing skin feels a bit dry

I've never really had bad acne and never really had many pimples until recently. My face broke out badly on one side of my face and then the other side was beginning. I wanted to try the whole 3- steps solution and so I did and I'm glad I did cuz my face has never felt smoother and it got rid of my little problem. I suggest a moisturizer after it cuz it may feel a bit dry. Oh and every once in a while, at least 2 times a week after washing face use a scrub, then apply the lotion. :)

Pros:

spell effective? N E U T R O G E N A :)

Cons:

Dries your face but worth it

I'm 18 and Asian with light acne problems (mini zits or the like) and I wanted to eliminate them bad! I've read reviews about Proactiv and Murad's Therapy Acne System and I think its not as good as it was advertised (HA! infomercials!). So I looked for something else, I asked a derma doctor (can't afford her professional fees so, I just have to stick to acne therapy sytems) and she recommended Neutrogena products. I came across this one and WOHOO! it works.I followed every direction that's in the box. Though it may dry out your face at first but it can be saved by using Cetaphil Facial Cleanser (use it like for a week then after that get back to Neutrogena). After achieving your desired smoothness (?), use this product every other day, once a day (night time) and pair it up with Cetaphil (day time) and your face will be better than EVERRRR! :) Also, if I were you, Don't forget sunblock and baby powder before you go out. Sunblock protects your face and Baby powder eliminates OIL and prevents dirt from clogging your pores! :) OH BTW, the acne lotion thingy use it on the pimple ONLY and not the whole face~!

Pros:

Clear up problem areas, comes with an oil free spf-15 lotion so you don't get sun spots from the benzoyl peroxide, smells clean, simply works!

Cons:

face feels dry and tight

You have to use this product consistently, as with every other skin product, or it will NOT WORK! You can go to the dermatologist and get countless of prescriptions and if you do not use it everyday the problem won't go away. The only "con" i you would call it that is yes, the dry face, but its not that bad. I mean you have to weigh that against wanting to have clear skin. Honestly, I rather have nice clear skin ;) I have problem areas on my chin and on my cheeks, problems that I can never seem to clear up, but since I've been using this every day and night like you are supposed to I've stopped getting pimples there. Listen, here's the main problem people have with washing their face, they wash it for a while then they get bored or forget or some people don't even wash it unless they have a few pimples. No, that's not how it works. You don't take a shower just because you're starting to stink, you take on everyday because that's hygienic. Same with your face, wash it everyday because it keeps your skin clean. I hope some of you try it out, it works really well!

Pros:

-EVERYTHING!!

Cons:

-dry face (not that bad)
-stings a little (if you wash your face with soap before usage of the product)

I love this product. I always wanted to try a three step system (considering individual face washes , and combining products has not been successful for me.) and this works soooo well. I absolutely love it, i am entering my 8th grade year and i wanted to be acne free! Keep in mind I don't have bad acne its like blackheads (I guess) and little bumps that dont have a head on it, but that should not be there. They are reallly annoying to get rid of. So basically I went on this website read a review on it and I was convinced I should try it. It works :) My face has never been so clear I have combination skin so maybe thats whyy it doesn't dry it out as bad or anything like that. Its perfect, just fine. I am going to continue to use it!! Thankss neutrogeennaaa!! :D

Pros:

Obviously helped my face after only one washing in the evening.

Cons:

Stiffness, a texture to skin.

Day 1: This is my first day on it and I'm seeing improvement, as much as expected. I would rate my acne as very light, but I have many tiny invisible pimples covering my nose, so I will put "light". I have pretty good skin and I'm hoping this will lead me to have it clear and wonderful. It has a mild wash and a benzoyl peroxide cream, and a lotion, so it fits Dan's Regimen nicely. So far it's a 5 for me.

Pros:

Inexpensive
Smells good
Feels Good
Not drying
Easy to use
Works :]

Cons:

The benzoyl peroxide bottle always run out faster than the other two...I wish they made it a little bigger so the entire set could actually last 2 months. But that really is no big deal lol!

I have had horrible acne for over a year...I cried multiple times over it. I decided to use this since it was inexpensive and I had already spent so much money on trying to solve my dilemma. I had prayed so much that this would work and that God could use the chemicals in this to work and take away my blemishes. I also began using aloe vera gel from Fruit of the Earth as a night cream (or more like a mask I guess). It worked. Within one week the acne on my cheeks had completely healed and the scars left behind were fading fast, due to the aloe vera. I haven't had success with anything until now. I am so excited and so happy about my healthy (smooth!! Eeeee! :D ) skin. I don't feel embarrased or have to wear tons of foundation just so I can at least squint in the mirror and look like I have pretty skin. God is good, let him take control of the problem and he will take care of it. I hope everyone has success in their acne ridding plots! :] Btw- the av next to the cost is the cost of the aloe vera gel :]

Nothing ever, EVER works on me. At all. Ever. and yeah you think "Oh, well she jsut got lucky blahblahblah, this sin't gonna work on me because nothing else does." Ha, NOT. That was me before I tried this. I used to be embarrased to even go ANYWHERE with my acne, now I feel so much better about myself.

Pros:

My skin feels better already.
I used pro activ- this stuff works way better.
I have only been using it a few days but I can already see and feel a difference.

Cons:

The second step is pretty sticky but I believe that is the best step...just use some lotion after is dries and it feels awesome!

This stuff seems to work and for the price you can't beat it. Think about it you would have to pay way more with pro activ plus you have to get it off line.....just download the five dollar off coupon from the website and take it into a drug store....walmart seems to be seeing it the cheapest. Best of luck

Pros:

Clear face of redness... leaves face feeling smooth... prevents new acne from developing/forming... cleared about 65% of my acne within the first week of using.

Cons:

Slight burn when sweating from playing basketball.

GREAT product. I have tried all possible products and nothing seemed to work. I would wake up every morning with more acne/pimples and it was super frustrating. Being 24 and in corporate America, it was a stress on my work life. This system works amazing and I will continue to use it.
