Pros:

A well-formulated complete therapy that contains the right balance of active ingredients.

Cons:

Causes skin to be a little too dry
Moisturizer could be a bit stronger

The kit contains a face wash (salicylic acid and glycolic acid) and benzoyl peroxide gel (2.5%) and then a follow-up moisturizer for acne-prone skin. The formulation of each of these products is nearly perfect for my skin. If your face can tolerate, you might also consider alternating the face with with the Neutrogena Clear Pore benzoyl peroxide (3.5%) wash/mask. I recommend the kit for anyone with moderate inflammatory acne. Certainly worth trying.

Pros:

Clears up acne quickly.
Worked on both cystic and other acne.
Improved overall quality of skin.
Greatly minimizes new breakouts.

Cons:

Can be a little drying.
The acne lotion runs out much more quickly than the cleanser and the moisturizer, so I end up having to buy the whole kit even though I don't need everything.

I've struggled with acne for years. I've used countless over the counter cleansers, creams, etc. I've been to several dermatologists, and had a horrible trial of Proactive that left me with dry, cracked skin that was covered in cystic acne. Neutrogena has left my skin clear and soft. It cleared up everything I had, and has been preventing new breakouts. Yes, it's drying, but that's a necessary evil when fighting acne. Don't be afraid of the moisturizer!

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
