Pros:

kept new acne from popping up

Cons:

The acne that i already had that nothing has even touched in helping it go away not the deratoligist not any RX meds not anything all the acne stayed it just I just didnt get more. I cant treat my skin to hars casue it peels off if I do

Didnt work that well I wish it did I have about given up on everything. Because NOTHING works even the doctors couldnt get it to go away. because when they would get my creams to put on my face it would clear it up but give me chemical burns and it would hurt so much i could not stand the pains o i had to stop using everything and by the time my skin grew back acne was back.

Pros:

works fast, easy to use and dries out my oily skin

Cons:

a little too dry if you don't have oily skin like me? but i don"t mind.

I'm fifteen with mild acne and after the first day, I even felt the difference. I had been using the clean and clear acne system that worked, but stopped after a couple of months. I had to purchase concealer about every two weeks just to cover up the blemishes. Along with the neutrogena system, I purchased the rapid clear acne spot remover. I apply it at night and it works wonders. However, the cleanser is hard to apply for me. Its a little gooey and I almost always drop some on my counter, ha. It is now my second day, and I cant wait to get up in the morning and see the difference from today.

Pros:

Noticed a difference in the first three days-small zits went away and skin felt tighter and smoother. Skin has responded Excellently!

Cons:

Night treatment makes face tight, and after a few days i had minor peeling around my upper cheek, but was remedied by useing the lotion more liberally there and not putting the night cream there for a day.

I love this product. I've not used other treatment regimines, but this is the first acne med. i have used that didn't make me look "burnt" or cause me to break out more-YAY! My skin feels 100% better, and i've only had 1 new zit since starting-vs 3 or 4 little ones every day. Make sure you rinse well, out of your hairline, I had some irritation from that, and apply the night cream All the way back to your ears-I think that is why i got the one that I did get, as I hadn't been putting it that far back and got a zit near my ear. Overall, I've been thrilled. Give it a shot, but you may not have immediate results...give yourself the entire pacakage to figure it out. Packaging could be considered misleading, as it says something along the the lines of "reduces acne causeing bacteria in 48 hours!". That Does NOT mean it reduces acne, what was already "brewing" will probably still come up-but it's made a huge difference for me!

Pros:

Cheap
Works if used consistently

Cons:

If it isn't used consistently your face will break out.
Acne Lotion will finish before the rest of the system.

Try this! It reduced my moderate acne in three days. Best $20 I have spent. Use it consistently to ensure results.

Pros:

Got rid of 95% of acne
Non-oily sunscreen

Cons:

Can't find it
Dries skin
Harsh on skin

This stuff works! IT's the only thing I've used that really did leave me with no acne, except for blackheads and acne every once in a while. This will dry up your skin like crazy, but it works so well it's worth it. After using it for a year, I stopped using it because my face was looking dead and it was bleaching everything I touched. I went to another product and had to come back to this. I'm almost scared to use it, but my face is as clear as day. If you don't have sensitive skin, or dry, I would defiantly recommend this to you. And I would buy a moisturizer, you'll need it.

Pros:

spell effective? N E U T R O G E N A :)

Cons:

Dries your face but worth it

I'm 18 and Asian with light acne problems (mini zits or the like) and I wanted to eliminate them bad! I've read reviews about Proactiv and Murad's Therapy Acne System and I think its not as good as it was advertised (HA! infomercials!). So I looked for something else, I asked a derma doctor (can't afford her professional fees so, I just have to stick to acne therapy sytems) and she recommended Neutrogena products. I came across this one and WOHOO! it works.I followed every direction that's in the box. Though it may dry out your face at first but it can be saved by using Cetaphil Facial Cleanser (use it like for a week then after that get back to Neutrogena). After achieving your desired smoothness (?), use this product every other day, once a day (night time) and pair it up with Cetaphil (day time) and your face will be better than EVERRRR! :) Also, if I were you, Don't forget sunblock and baby powder before you go out. Sunblock protects your face and Baby powder eliminates OIL and prevents dirt from clogging your pores! :) OH BTW, the acne lotion thingy use it on the pimple ONLY and not the whole face~!

Pros:

-works.. for the first month or so
-semi-cheep, Cheeper then Proactiv
-includes a moisturizer.. which help alot.
- includes a $5.00 descount on the next purchase of this product.

Cons:

-Does not clear all of your acne.. it works on the big one
-Forget one treatment (You are surpposed to use it once at day and once at night) and your screwed
-know your propotions.. once you run out of one thing, you have to buy the whole thing again

I am a boy and i used to use this. It did not make my acne go away. Note that i have used this product for about 6 months.. This is not ment for a long time use.. i guess this wasn't ment for me. If you have oily skin.. DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. I am using oxy and that is working for me.. i guess this wasn't meant for me.. P.S when you sweat , it looks like milk is running down your face.. didn't help my image. .. If your activve and sweet alot.. not for you

Pros:

reduces pimples fast
cheaper
reduces redness
JUST GREAT

Cons:

None really. irritates your skin a little bit but that is fixable.

This is absolutely GREAT!!!!! A must buy for all you people that suffer from acne. It irritates a little bit but just use face lotion and you'll be just fine. I've used PRO active , clear skin and many more and none have helped me as much as Neutogena. a lot cheaper to. Worked great for me hope it works great for you.
