Pros:

It worked great and noticed a huge impovement within a week

Cons:

can dry out skin a little. I use Olay mositurizer and it works wonderfully

I would definitedly recommend this product. I suffered with adult acne for a year. Never had it before so I was desperate for a solution. Thanks to Neutrogena acne is now gone!!

Pros:

starts clearing up skin as quickly as in the first day.

Cons:

You have to use less cleanser in order for it to last. If you have really sensitive skin it will irritate it.

It clears up acne really quickly but the cleanser runs out before the entire package is finished and and you have to buy the entire package over just for the cleanser. Pointless. It works fast but Neutrogena should sell the product seperately.

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:

Show results in less than a week. (for me.)

Cons:

Night lotion pretty dry and irritating

I've been using this product for a little over a week and it reduce the apperance of blemishes and dried out all the bumps. So far this process is going great!! ----BUT---- The night creme pretty much makes my skin feel a little dry and irritated and I'm sure that's what's burning and drying my lebret (area below the bottom lip, right above the chin) The solution for that is to reduce the use of the product to every other day. I'll give it another two weeks and post another review. Hopefully my lebret is no longer burning!

Pros:

Noticed a difference in the first three days-small zits went away and skin felt tighter and smoother. Skin has responded Excellently!

Cons:

Night treatment makes face tight, and after a few days i had minor peeling around my upper cheek, but was remedied by useing the lotion more liberally there and not putting the night cream there for a day.

I love this product. I've not used other treatment regimines, but this is the first acne med. i have used that didn't make me look "burnt" or cause me to break out more-YAY! My skin feels 100% better, and i've only had 1 new zit since starting-vs 3 or 4 little ones every day. Make sure you rinse well, out of your hairline, I had some irritation from that, and apply the night cream All the way back to your ears-I think that is why i got the one that I did get, as I hadn't been putting it that far back and got a zit near my ear. Overall, I've been thrilled. Give it a shot, but you may not have immediate results...give yourself the entire pacakage to figure it out. Packaging could be considered misleading, as it says something along the the lines of "reduces acne causeing bacteria in 48 hours!". That Does NOT mean it reduces acne, what was already "brewing" will probably still come up-but it's made a huge difference for me!

Pros:

Cheap
Works if used consistently

Cons:

If it isn't used consistently your face will break out.
Acne Lotion will finish before the rest of the system.

Try this! It reduced my moderate acne in three days. Best $20 I have spent. Use it consistently to ensure results.

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~!
