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:

Convenient to buy
Works great
Sunscreen in lotion

Cons:

None!

I've had moderate acne for 10+ years (I'm 25), its never been bad enough to see a doctor but I always hoped it would clear with age, and it never did. I tried every OTC product I could find. Last winter I was visiting my younger cousin and she used this system, so I used it while I was there for about 3 days. In that time, I noticed a significant difference in my skin tone, it looked smooth and healthy. My breakouts were clearing up right away also. I bought some right away, and after the first 2 months of using it consistently, my face was much more clear. The cleanser is wonderful and really cleans everything off. The acne cream is drying, but my face got used to it. I wash and use the cream twice daily, and only use the sunscreen lotion during the day (I live in S. FL and sunscreen is a must), it has been working wonders for me. I've been using the products for about 5 months now, not only are my breakouts gone, but my skin tone is like a child's skin and gets better every month - I've completely stopped wearing face makeup and I'm sure that helps my complexion as well. Everyone has different skin and this probably won't work well for everyone, but if you have mild acne and can commit to using the same products consistently, give it a shot - you have nothing to lose!

Pros:

Works great if you follow directions. One kit lasts more than 2 months for me.

Cons:

Run out of SPF lotion before cleanser and spot treatment. Haven't been able to find in any store for over 3 months.

I love this product. It is only one I have found that really works. I have been using it off and on for about 8 yrs and every time I try something else I break out. I am almost out and cannot find anywhere. But, good news, it should be back in 2 or 3 weeks. Try ordering from Target or [link removed].

Pros:

I noticed after about four days my acne was clearing up, it was amazing. This was literally the best thing for acne i have ever used.

Cons:

It dried my face out like no other. Never have i ever had a product dry my face out this badly. After five days my face was terribly dried out. Even with moisturizer, it didnt help. I had to stop using the product and moisturize everyday to get my face not dry anymore. And i have normally oily skin. :(

Its too bad it dryed my face out because it was amazing to my face. The redness was completly gone! I was acaully tannner!! Because the redness was GONE.

Cons:

takes a lot longer than it says and the lotion makes your face super tight so u need to add a good moisturizer

Pros:

After using this product for a few days, my skin had more of a healthy glow.

Cons:

The night creme was way too intense and overdried my skin and overall, my acne did not decrease and the dryness, redness, and peeling did.

By the time i finished the entire package, my skin was just as bad if not worse than before.

Pros:

My skin cleared up my skin fast! The benzoyl peroxide works fantastic! The mousturizer leaves skin smooth and radiant!

Cons:

Cleanser is not so powerful but it's decent.

My skin cleared up about 50 percent or maybe more after one day!!! It was amazing! It was mainly the 2.5% benzoyl peroxide that I left on for the over night treatment that worked. The cleanser didn't cleanse so well so I used something with 2% salicylic acid instead of 1.5% Since today is the second day I've used it I absolutely can't wait 'till tomorrow morning to see how much more my face has cleared up Oh not to forget but I really prayed to God to help me get my face cleared. So I'm also thanking God for answering my prayers ((:
