Pros:

Oh my God! After 2 days using it it has calmed my skin down. No new bumps (and there's always new bumps), no oil, I can hardly see any black heads on my nose and the redness is virtually gone....I feel like they made this just for me because it's perfect.

Cons:

So far none...it dries out a little but no big deal.
I am using the medicated lotion only at night and the SPF one during the day since my acne is not severe.

I can't even begin to describe how much I'm loving this product. It's only been 2 days and I'm already seeing a difference. My skin is not breaking out anymore and the redness is fading away. It has also dried out the ones that were coming out and were very easy to extract (now they are GONE!) I will write another review in a week, but I have to admit I'm very impressed. I've been on pills and everything and nothing has worked like this so far. I really think this is it...:)

Pros:

Pimples disappear for the first two days

Cons:

Made my face red and flaky, DRIES OUT YOUR SKIN

I used this for a couple of days. The first day when I used it, my pimples vanished and finally thought that this was THE product that worked. However, on the second day, my face was red and blothchy all over, and there were skin bubbles that made me gross out! I learned that with this cleanser, you have to put the moisturizer with the spf. But still, it made my face REALLY dry and red.

Pros:

Gets rid of pimples quickly

Cons:

Face gets very dry

Works well enough that I wont stop using it, its worth a little dryness if I can look at my face and NOT see pimples everywhere.

Pros:

clears face, reduces redness majorly!!!, and leave you with beautiful. a package lasts about 2 months

Cons:

takes some time to work

i had severe acne for 6 years and tried everything. i tried PROACTIVE (sucks), scrubs, clearasil, ACNE FREE (flakey skin). i thought nothinng wouldbut 4months ago i started using NEUTROGENA ADVANCED SOULTION ACNE THERAPY SYSTEM and in weeks, my redness reduce drastically, my face finally became soft, and it has been clearer than ever. When i woke up and my acne free skin, i was literally crying :') because having acne for so long and nothing working and being embarassed the whole beginning of being a teenager, this neutrogena system gave me back my self esteem and now im not afraid to walk out my door into the world. Neutrogena brings back dreams, and it can with you too. you just have to be patient. ;) glad luck to everyone, everyone has a beautiful side. let neautrogena help you show it. it did for me!!!

Pros:

none.

Cons:

absolutely does not work. made my acne WORSE. i went from a few bumps to cystic ones on my forehead (right smack in the middle, i have the ugliest bindi ever now, lol). then i had tiny little bumps on my cheeks show up

don't even bother. i rated affordability as 1 because i may as well have slathered bacon grease (which is free) on my face for all the good it did. proactiv DOES work and MUCH better than this crap.

Pros:

Doesn't dry out my skin too much, only under my nose a bit. Works fairly well.

Cons:

A tad bit drying. It also takes a while to work, but then starts working.

This product works really well. It doesn't clear acne completely or prevent it too much, but it stops it and controls it. I used to have mild acne, but now it is definitely mild to none. If a new zit pops up, this will control it and slow down the process in which it grows in.

Pros:

not oily, the face scrub is amazing, and overall works great!

Cons:

the night gel tends to make my face stiff and dry, but the effects are great!

I have only been using this system 1 day and I can already see the changes. my acne has gotten smaller and my skin is so much softer! I love it!

Pros:

Noticeable difference! Skin is no longer oily/shiny and instead is clear/smooth.

Cons:

Skin will probably get worse before it gets better. Not recommended for sensitive skin.

At first my acne prone areas got worse, new bumps and redness, however the other areas of my face were much smoother and clearer. The side effects went away after about 3 days. The facewash is refreshing in the mornings and evenings and leaves the face feeling clean. The moisturizer is nice and is SPF 15 but has a slight smell. The overnight mask is the acne killer but it can leave your face feeling tight and dry Definitely try it if you don't have overly sensitive skin. Stick with it for at least 2 weeks. After the first week if your skin gets too dry, stop and give your face a break for a couple nights then start up again. I am still on my first kit and it's been about 2 months. I get a small breakout if I get lazy and don't stay on the regimen, but going right back on it and using a spot remover the breakout is gone overnight.
