Pros:

starts clearing up skin up pretty quick but i have been using it for about a month and two week it cleared ALOT of acne up quick but it seems that some area are more harder to rid of than others

Cons:

i have been using the product about month and two weeks but i dont know if im impatient or has it really stopped working.

it clears up acne not i dont know if completely yet cause i just started using it like i said times before about a month and two weeks but hopefully in about another month i can write back and tell you if it has cleared it up.

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:

Works fast, very well, and leaves skin super soft. I had 3 cyst zits before i tried this stuff (i was using clinique when i got the zits...clinique sucks!) and now they are like totally healed and gone. I have not found anything that works this well

Cons:

only negative i have is w/the packaging, it'd be nice if it had a dispenser or something...

I don't have much acne, but i'm prone to cyst zits and whiteheads. I'd say it's affordable and works well for mild to moderate acne.

Pros:

~works so much better than Proactiv! much less irritating cleanser, didn't leave my skin red
~within 2 days I noticed much clearer/smoother skin!

Cons:

DEFINITELY use another moisturizer! especially with the night cream, its very drying. I use Aveeno skin relief moisturizing lotion with menthol, its actually not a meant as a face lotion but I've found its very soothing and doesn't clog pores! :]

I used Proactiv for a couple years and got pretty good results but decided to stop and see what happened. BIG MISTAKE. I broke out worse than ever. I tried this product and within days saw better results than anything I've tried so far. It's been about a week and I'm still battling a couple of old pimples but for the most part everything is clearing up One thing I've learned is to never let your skin get dry and irritated, it will lead to more breakouts, so when I use the night cream I let it set and then add another moisturizer that keeps your skin so much healthier :] Helped so much with my very oily skin, I've never noticed a product reducing oil and shine as much as this one So far, so good!

Pros:

I've only been using it for about a week, and I' already seeing significant improvements. This product works sooo much better than proactiv, and it's way faster. My skin feels good all day, and it doesn't feel greasy/shiny. I love it!

Cons:

The moisturizer isn't exactly very moisturizing. Sometimes, my skin will feel dry, but I put on some cetaphil moisturizer (also great) so it's all good :)

I don't have terrible acne, mostly whiteheads and blackheads. Proactiv didn't work for me at all, but I think it was designed for people with more severe acne. This product is great, and I'm hoping that my skin will be completely clear in not too long! It gives you great results without the huge price.

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:

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:

It worked! Felt great, stimulated my skin, and completely cleared my skin in less than a week.

Cons:

It dried my skin just a little bit, but after applying a mosturizer cream, stopped drying completely.

Get it. It just works. (And don't waste your money on Proactiv, this works equally effectivly if not BETTTTER!)
