Pros:

-reduce acne redness
-got rid of some acne

Cons:

-made my skin more sensitive to sun
-dry skin (somewhat)
-a little pricey for me.

I've been using this for almost two years. It really works, but other times it doesn't. I'm very sensitive to the sun now because of this product, so I'm deciding whether or not to change the acne products. Anyways, if you don't have dry or sensitive skin, this product is definitely for you!

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:

Feels fresh and clean after first use! Rids of most redness and is affective from the first time you use it. Product doesn't have any strong smells or stinging.

Cons:

I found that if I used it daily more than once for about a week, my face got dried out, but still using it regularly once a day is great!

I've had acne since high school. It's been 5 years since I graduated and still suffered from breakouts. Dermatologists gave me Retinol-Micro, amongst other products that never worked. I tried ProActive which worked one week an counteracted the next. Ive tried Noxema and other store products that were harsh on my skin. Dermalogica worked for a while, but it's expensive! Neutrogena has saved my skin and my confidence! Im almost 23 and I now have the skin to prove it! It looks fresh, clean, clear, and I have control! The redness of my past acne scars has decreased rapidly, I no longer suffer from daily break outs, my husband loves touching my face! I love this product and the make up as well, which compliments both the treatment and skin tone! THANK YOU Neutrogena!

Pros:

Starts working immediately, gets rid of alot of the redness in your skin, does not dry my skin out, makes skin very smooth

Cons:

None.

This product works amazing! The first night I used it I woke up with less redness in my skin, a smooth and clearer face overall, and added radiance. I have used this product a little over two weeks now and the results just keep getting better. For the first time in my teenage and adult life I have an almost perfect complexion. My only concern now is finding a product that will get rid of my old acne scars so that I can go without makeup and feel beautiful. I picked up Neutrogena's Fight and Fade gel last night though so I will let you all know if that helps with the acne scars. At the present time though I could not be happier with the results this product has given me. I have tried everything from ProActiv to Dermalogica to Clean and Clear and other store products and nothing has given me these kind of results! Buy this product!

Pros:

Starts working immediately.
Good for people with adult acne.
Mild Cleanser.
Reduces the "normal" pimples and bumps significantly.
Easy to use.
Comes with a lotion with SPF.
No annoying toner like Proactiv.
The box came with a $4 off coupon for your next purchase of the system and $2 of any neutrogena make-up.

Cons:

Does not work as well on cystic acne, but does work better than other "systems"

Within three weeks it greatly cleared up my red bumps, small pimples, tightened pores in my blackhead areas, and those bumps that are not quite pimples but seem to be everywhere. It seems to stop acne in its tracks, no new zits to look for each morning. Face feels smoother! Day lotion works well under mineral makeup. I think it is a great and easy system to use and I can introduce different products like a face peel or mask every week without over drying/irritating my face. Unfortunately, my cystic acne is has not greatly abated with this system but it seems to have reduced the size of them when they do surface. I recommend easing into the system at first. Use the cleanser and day lotion daily and introduce night lotion every other night. Start using it every night after a week or two. That should help with the irritation. If your skin is irritated, reduce the amount or the frequency you use the night lotion. ***Check the neutrogena website for their $5 off coupon!***

Pros:

my acne is almost completely gone

Cons:

dries your face out, stings a little

I read alot of people complain that it stings alot. If you really want your acne to go away you have to just bear with it, because its basically just frying your acne away. Just suck it up lol.. I only put the moisturizer on my pimples not on my whole face, so my whole face isn't dry. Then I use my normal face cream on the other areas. I have been using this morning and night for about a month. My pimples are not there just red spots. Every day the redness goes away little by little. I can only say for myself but this product really works for me. I have use clinique and that is also very good but this is so much cheaper and I have had the same results. I am so happy I bought this.

Pros:

Oh my God! After 2 days using it it has calmed my skin down. No new bumps (and there's always new bumps), no oil, I can hardly see any black heads on my nose and the redness is virtually gone....I feel like they made this just for me because it's perfect.

Cons:

So far none...it dries out a little but no big deal.
I am using the medicated lotion only at night and the SPF one during the day since my acne is not severe.

I can't even begin to describe how much I'm loving this product. It's only been 2 days and I'm already seeing a difference. My skin is not breaking out anymore and the redness is fading away. It has also dried out the ones that were coming out and were very easy to extract (now they are GONE!) I will write another review in a week, but I have to admit I'm very impressed. I've been on pills and everything and nothing has worked like this so far. I really think this is it...:)

Pros:

The cleanser is very light but I was suprised at how well it cleans and smells for that matter,I've used pro-activ before and it feels like your washing your face with sand and smells pretty strong so this is pleasant

Cons:

None so far I've read that a lot of people complain about the dryness and tightening of your face but i look at it as it working,I rather have it dry my face up then it be super oily like with pro-activ but that's my opinion

Its my first day using this product but so far so good.....will update my review in about a week so well see how it goes

Pros:

I noticed after about four days my acne was clearing up, it was amazing. This was literally the best thing for acne i have ever used.

Cons:

It dried my face out like no other. Never have i ever had a product dry my face out this badly. After five days my face was terribly dried out. Even with moisturizer, it didnt help. I had to stop using the product and moisturize everyday to get my face not dry anymore. And i have normally oily skin. :(

Its too bad it dryed my face out because it was amazing to my face. The redness was completly gone! I was acaully tannner!! Because the redness was GONE.
