Pros:

My skin is sooooooo soft and pretty much blemish- free with only about 5 small ones you can't even see! I was trying so many acne medications and none seemed to work. You feel amazing and re-freshed

Cons:

It could smell better

Use it. It works.

Pros:

Fairly affordable, starts to work within a few days.

Cons:

As other reviewers have mentioned, the night cream is pretty drying. After about 5 days, my acne is coming back.

At first this product worked really good, i was so impressed. It cleared up my acne by about 40% just within the first 3 days. Now, a week since i purchased it, it looks like my acne might have actually gotten worse :( I don't understand what has caused it to become worse- I've been using it two times a day everyday, consistently.

Pros:

the cleanser made your face feel so renewed
the night cream made your face oil-free, dry, but very smooth to me
the day lotion reduced the dryness and the peeling during the day but not completely unless you continued reapplying it

Cons:

during the day my face got really peely and i had to either keep reapplying the lotion or some other type of moisturizer

it worked well for me and i have a low severity in my acne and i wanted to prevent it from getting worse like my other family members. although i feel that everyone is different and you might have to try a few acne systems until you find the right one.

Pros:

-you can feel the cleanser working once you put it on
- it leaves skin feeling smooth
- the night cream i use during the day because it keeps my skin from going back to oily

Cons:

- the day cream makes my skin oily, so i just use the night cream

This product will probably work for anyone with oily skin. I've noticed on the other reviews it doesn't work for some people because they have dry skin already. If your skin is dry, this product will probably be irritating to your skin. However, my skin has always been super oily, so it works pretty good so far for me. It leaves your face feeling really clean and smooth..so far so good.

Pros:

Leaves skin feeling really clean. Starts to work instantly.

Cons:

It does leave your skin a little dry. Doesn't help with scars.

It is a really good kit. I have been using it for about 2 weeks and noticed a change within 3 days. It leaves skin feeling very clean. The night cream is amazing. I have always suffered from severe acne, and I tried EVERYTHING but it all made my skin dry and made my acne worse. This kit does leave skin a little dry but nothing like Proactiv or Differin did. Now my acne is almost completely gone accept for a few spots around my chin, but its not as bad as it was before I started using this kit. Finally, a solution that works!! and its affordable which is a big plus! I highly recommend it!

Pros:

it works as good as it says, i have combination skin it doesn't try out those area's of my skin like some medications i've used.. the lady at the top says she ran out mabey you used a lil too much on your face and your not suppose to jus a lil bit

Cons:

the night lotion feels real.. you can buy the 8 hour clear up thing and it works good with that too...

it works great if i could post a picture i would my grandma notices how clear my face is.. im 15, it really boost my confidence level, its wprks great but you have to drink lots of water snd i give myself a facial every week too and that will help speed things up

Pros:

It produces results! The cleanser gives a clean, refreshed feeling. The day/night lotions are easy to apply, and smell great. It prevents breakouts, and it leaves skin looking smooth and flawless. And, the most important part, it eliminates acne.

Cons:

The night lotion does leave skin feeling tight, but I usually find that it's gone once I wake up.

With any medication you try, you should always give it time. Consistency produces the best results. I use to have moderate-severe acne, and now my face is completely healed.

Pros:

You can feel it working! Though it takes time, it clears up skin and makes it more smooth and even. Also worked VERY well on blackheads.

Cons:

When you first start to use it, it can cause irritation, dryness, or peeling(or all three). I didn't like the day lotion because it was a little thick. I use Clean and Clear Morning Glow instead and that works perfectly. =]

When I first started using it, it gave me rough patches around my nose and chin. I think it was a little to harsh for my sensitive skin. So i just used it once a day instead of twice a day. Once the rough patches went away, i went back to using it twice a day. It is helping my skin SO SO much. I can honestly say that I see an improvement in my skin every time i use it. The blackheads around my nose are completely gone now, and although it did take a while, my acne scars ARE fading. I get so excited when i see another acne scar completely disapear. I'm going to keep using it and hopefully my skin will be perfect very soon! =]

Pros:

it worked really well and it reduced the amount of breakouts on my face and gave a really good progress day by day it this product reduced the amount of acne and even if there were breakouts they'd be cleared up soon.

Cons:

well the night lotion made my face stiff..

Bottom line is that this product is helpful it reduces the amount of breakouts even though the product could feel uncomforting.
