Works!

Cons:

CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE ANYMORE

I've tried several different acne treatment and pricey products, none in the past were effective until I tryed Neutrogena. I used it for a year and my suddent break outs went away. It was worth the $20 I paid for it. I only had minor pores every once a few months, nothing serious like before using it. However, my only con against this product is they must have discontinued it without notifying all the loyal users! I tryed call the Neutrogena represenatives and they couldn't verify whether or not this product was discontinued. Overall I was very satisfied with the product, but I am very disappointed that it is no where to be found and my skin is back to terrible break outs.

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:

works quickly

Cons:

cant use it more than once a day

this stuff is seriously amazing. i've been using it about 2 weeks and my skin has never been so clear. i never have hadBAF ance but ive always had small bumps on my forehead here and there. Since i've been using it, the bumps are completely gone. my forehead is so smooth. i once in while have gotten the big pimples underneath the skin that hurt and since i've been washing my face with this system i havent gotten one. my face is so smooth. i'm in love.

Pros:

It really clear up my skin for the first month...i actually saw improvement the first week i use it.But then my skin eventually got immune

Cons:

It didnt work as much as the first month i use it.it made my skin slightly dry and tight.

I would recommended this product,But only if you do not have that much of a sensitive'‚skin and that you have no allergy to Benzoyl Peroxide. i think you also must use all 3 product without subducting for somthing else or you really wont see improvement. If you see that your skin is tooooo dry then reduce the amount.i still use the wash and sometimes the lotion.i use the acne lotion for only stubborn pimples. But i notice i have to use alot of the acne lotion in order to see improvement.

Pros:

Um.. Before I've figured that I've been using it wrong, my forhead,chin and nose had cleared up. But I got to say my nose is a little clear not that much... But I'm going to use it well now!

Cons:

Before I've figured that I've been using it wrong.my cheeks has gone worse

Well I've been using it wrong because my mom trough away the instructions and today I've figured that in the mornings its cleanser and spf 15 and before bed: cleancer and lotion. So from now on I'm going to use it well!! and it about to days I'll be writing again. It smells OK. Its easy to use! It feelss a little better but I/m going to use it the right way and maybe It'll feel AWSOME!

Pros:

+Mostly cleared my skin
+A system with products that are all designed to work together
+Ease of use/relatively quick

Cons:

-Never cleared up my skin/red marks entirely
-Made my skin very red and irritated
-Because you can only get the components in a pack, I would end up running out of cleanser and having to buy more of all three even when I had extra of 2/3 compon

I've been using this for nearly two years now, and am only now switching as I've become aware of less irritating alternatives. The system was good, but it always irritated my skin, and even as it made my skin relatively clear, it did little to nothing for hyperpigmentation. Even when I didn't have acne, my skin was always red and ruddy. In the end I think this system was just too strong for me: the cleanser has SA and the "night" cream contains BP. Not recommended for sensitive skin types. Also, even as the price seems reasonable, you will find yourself building up extra bottles of the "day" and "night" creams as the cleanser runs out long before they do; in effect, you end up paying $20-30 just for cleanser. This is also a large part of why I am switching. I wish Neutrogena would sell these components separately.

Pros:

Good, easy system to follow, clears skin well, prevents zits

Cons:

Skin may be getting used to BP

I've never had bad acne, but it was enough to be annoying. Zits on my chin, jawline, and some on my nose drove me nuts. I also had terrible blackheads on my nose and cheeks. After using this for about 12 weeks now, I have noticed a significant difference from when I started. I break out much less now (usually only during stressful periods or when I'm not treating my body well), and my blackheads are all but gone. I still get a few zits here and there, but I'm wondering if the BP 2.5% is losing effectiveness. Overall, great treatment for mild to medium acne (in my experience).
