Pros:

It works well, and it works fast. It's also been successful in stopping breakouts as soon as they start.

Cons:

The only con I noticed was the night cream makes my skin feel tight. But that goes away within 20 minutes, or so. And, I guess I wish the lotions had a little wider base. They fall over too easily on my counter. Minor issue. :)

I love this stuff. I wish I had this 20 years ago. My mom is in her 50's and has acne. I've been plagued with it since middle school, and now I'm in my 30's. This is the first thing that has really worked for me, and didn't dry my skin out excessively, or make me jump through alot of hoops. It's two steps, twice a day. Wash and moisturize. That's it. Within the first couple of days I noticed some improvement. By the end of the first week people were already commenting on how much better my skin was looking. I've had a few pimples try to rear their ugly heads, and after following the night routine, they're gone the next morning. (there was one that was a little more stubburn, but the rest haven't lasted through the night) I love this stuff. I'll keep using it as long as they make it. It doesn't dry my skin like other creams have (some people complained of it being exessively drying, but that could just be different skin types/different reactions).

Pros:

Works

Cons:

Drying

Is use it once in the day and once at night and use it EVERYDAY. You cannot miss a day or you will definitely not See any improvement. I have been using it consistently for almost two months and right now I only have about ten extremely small pimples on my forehead and two on my chin as apposed to the hundreds I had all over my face two months ago. I only get one pimple every few days as apposed to five new zits every day. I don't get cystic acne anymore, and all my black heads are gone. However This system is not perfect, in fact I can't even use the acne lotion anymore because it's way to drying and it makes me break out more and I had to switch it out for the "On The Spot Treatment" also it take like a month and a half to see any real results (so you have to be patient and just keep using it twice a day) but it definitely has improved my skin significantly. I think if I keep up this regime all my acne will be gone in a month or so. This stuff is the only thing that has worked for me, Clean and Clear sucked for me, so did Clearasil their kits were way too fragrant and harsh on my skin, so if your like me and have sensitive, normal/combo/oily skin then I recommend trying this kit out. Just remember be consistent! And Use it Twice a day, everyday!

Pros:

keeps my skin from developing really bad acne, makes skin nice and smooth

Cons:

takes a while to work on my skin, if I use the sunscreen lotion at night it makes my skin feel kind of greasy.

I've been using this product for about a week. So far, I'd say the whole "works faster than proactive" claim is a lie. But that isn't to say that the product doesn't work.

Pros:

Made my skin feel really smooth and reduced the minor acne. It also reduced the number of cystic acne bumps I had developing under my skin. Smelled nice. It was a manageable system to use consistently. Fairly cheap.

Cons:

The BP lotion ran out before I was even halfway through the lotion or the facewash.

You have to stick with this system. It says in the box what you expect to see after a certain number of days. Seemed to stop working after 3 months. It improved my general skin condition, but not completely smooth or blemish free. It may be a good system to start with and move up to something a little stronger or move onto prescription stuff. Made me face feel really smooth but the lotion seems a little too much. Made my skin red temporarily right after I would apply it and you can feel it on your face all day. Don't expect a miracle, just some improvement.

Pros:

*Face felt very nice after using the cleanser *Did not make my acne worse *Kept breakouts under control to some extent

Cons:

*face did dry out after the first month *lotion seemed to make me break out a little and didn't really moisterize enough *kinda of pricey

I do like this product. It didn't make my acne worse at all. It kept it under control most of the time. Although, when my period came along I still broke out. The cleanser did take a while to get used to but its manageable. Overall, this product maintained my acne but didn't perform any miracles. I've been using it for about 3 months now and I'm ready to move on to another product. I personally like using any Neutrogena product. I've been using their products since I began getting acne back in middle school and although I haven't found the right one for me, its never made my acne worse.

Pros:

-Doesn't dry my face out,no skin peeling, yet it dries up my pimples in a matter of hours!
-The face wash took some getting used to,rub it in your hands before applying to your face,it seems to work alot better.
-The day lotion isn't greasy at

Cons:

-The night lotion tightens your face & its kind of uncomfortable.
-The smell,it doesn't really have a fragrance at all.

I had a pimple on my chin & I put the night lotion on it as soon as I noticed it & it's practically gone! No Lie. I really did see a complete turn around in my skin in just one week. I've tried ProActive, other Neutrogena products, Acne Free, Apricot scrub...ect. You name it,I've used it & this is the first thing that has actually helped my skin,in other ways beside just treating my acne & blackheads! I love love love it!

Pros:

It worked for me. I have tried a lot of products, even prescription from the dermatologist, nothing has worked this well for me.

Cons:

The consistency of the cleanser took a little adjusting to, but it doesn't bother me now. The consistency of the overnight treatment is a little thick, which I actually like now. I just add a little water to my hand or make sure my face is a bit wet.

It works. I have been using this product for a little over a month. The true test was getting through the menstrual cycle and it worked. I haven't always been consistent on every single night washing and applying the overnight cream, which I can tell a difference when I don't. I will definitely buy this product again. It has worked better than anything I have ever tried. My skin is a little oily, but I am 40 and also worried about wrinkles I have used this with my overnight wrinkle cream and there haven't been any problems. I love it, love it, love it.
