Pros:

Clears up acne quickly.
Worked on both cystic and other acne.
Improved overall quality of skin.
Greatly minimizes new breakouts.

Cons:

Can be a little drying.
The acne lotion runs out much more quickly than the cleanser and the moisturizer, so I end up having to buy the whole kit even though I don't need everything.

I've struggled with acne for years. I've used countless over the counter cleansers, creams, etc. I've been to several dermatologists, and had a horrible trial of Proactive that left me with dry, cracked skin that was covered in cystic acne. Neutrogena has left my skin clear and soft. It cleared up everything I had, and has been preventing new breakouts. Yes, it's drying, but that's a necessary evil when fighting acne. Don't be afraid of the moisturizer!

Pros:

Cleared my skin. I saw a difference overnight. It feels great. The cleanser is gentle and the day moisturizer feels really really soothing, clean, and refreshing. It keeps my skin from drying out but doesn't make it shiny. The BP is very powerful.

I'd recommend the product. I tried proactive before and it dried my face out too much. With this stuff, the cleanser is gentle. Then the day cream keeps my face from drying out and makes it feel nice and looking healthy. Then at night time the benzoyle peroxide makes the acne really go away, but doesn't hurt my skin. I really really like this product.

Pros:

great cleanser that leaves my skin refreshened. day lotion got my acne away in as little as 3 days. and mosturizer helps when the day lotion drys out your skin [ which isn't often, you just need to know how to apply the lotion right ]

Cons:

weird smell, but i don't mind.

This is the first week i've been using it and I have seen it perform miracles. My skin used to be horrible. but now it is clear with only a few left. they'll be gone before i know it!! love it!!

Pros:

It actually works. After a week my skin was improved. After 2 months, my skin was completely clear.

Cons:

The moisturizer (day lotion) isn't heavy enough for me. About 30 seconds after I apply it, my skin still feels dry. I solved that problem by using just a dab of Cetafil lotion afterwards on the dry areas.

I love this stuff. The night gel did make my skin feel dry & tight at first but after 2 weeks, my skin got used to it and didn't feel so dry. I only get pimples now if I'm lazy and don't use the night gel. I also use Bare Escentuals make-up. If I don't clean my brushes every 3 weeks, I'll get a small pimple even if I am using the Neutrogena product as directed. A word of advice girls: No matter what make-up you use, be sure to clean your brushes regularly!

Pros:

-EVERYTHING!!

Cons:

-dry face (not that bad)
-stings a little (if you wash your face with soap before usage of the product)

I love this product. I always wanted to try a three step system (considering individual face washes , and combining products has not been successful for me.) and this works soooo well. I absolutely love it, i am entering my 8th grade year and i wanted to be acne free! Keep in mind I don't have bad acne its like blackheads (I guess) and little bumps that dont have a head on it, but that should not be there. They are reallly annoying to get rid of. So basically I went on this website read a review on it and I was convinced I should try it. It works :) My face has never been so clear I have combination skin so maybe thats whyy it doesn't dry it out as bad or anything like that. Its perfect, just fine. I am going to continue to use it!! Thankss neutrogeennaaa!! :D
