Pros:

I like the Day cream it visibly shrinks acne.

Cons:

Cleanser leaks when left opened on counter. Works for awile then stops.

Lets get this straight, works for awhile then you get immune to it.

I've been using this for a few weeks and I definitely see a difference. But I use it very specifically and with two other products, which I recommend following if it dries out your skin: In the morning, I first use a really gentle exfoliating cream (St. Ives Apricot Scrub for Sensitive Skin, about $5 - with water), then the Neutrogena cleanser. Then I use the Neutrogena day lotion. If I'm going to be applying makeup, then I use an additional moisturizer (like Lubriderm or Garnier Fresh). Then at Night, I use the Neutrogena cleanser again and the Night lotion (only on affected areas). So far my skin has been clearing up and haven't had any new pimples since I started. I still have plenty of red marks, but I know they will fade naturally in a few months. (Plus, this was one sale when I bought it.) I definitely recommend this, but also recommend an additional exfoliating cream and light moisturizer.

Pros:

After a little while of using it, I really did see a differance, my face was smoother, and my acne cleared up a lot. It's rather easy to use.

Cons:

It dried out my skin way too much after a few months, and my skin just started breaking out again. My face was more pink/red than usual.

It works, you just get a little dry from time to time. I found that if you wet your face, and then scrub it with a wash cloth, then watch with the product and scrub again, then rinse.. you don't get so many dry flakes on your face when you're all finished.

Pros:

Works well to clear acne, for the first month or so. I used it for 4 months and it really cleared me up.

Cons:

After the first or second month, it gets way too harsh on the skin. My skin started to look like a tape thats been cut up (If you can picture that) EXTREMELY DRY SKIN.

If you're in an emergency situation, or want to try it for the first month, I'd say go for it, because it works. Although, I'd definitely take moist and lively skin with a few blemishes than a clear dried up face.
