Pros:

Completely soft on skin, no fragrance, incredibly cheap (didn't even used the coupon), Easy to use, and it lasts long! =D

Cons:

Little - Moderate drying, easily stopped by just splashing on some water, or using the neutrogena moisturizer.

Goes great with conjunction of clearasil stayclear acne scrubber. I have some acne on my forehead and nose, so i purchased this around febuary. Didn't work at first, so I used a proactiv system until august. Proactiv didn't work, but I had this so I used it again to see if it could work. It did, espically with clearasil. So, my acne got more into tone with my natural color of skin, and shrinked rapidly. You can see the results in the morning because every day it just gets smaller and smaller. Incredible! So why would you pay for proactiv (30$) when you can get this for 20$ (15$ with coupon) and get way better results? I'm 13 and teenage acne is starting with me, but neutrogena's got's me covered. ;)

Pros:

Night treatment
Low concentrations

Cons:

Fragrance

I notice a lot of people saying that their faces are sensitive and that their skin is dry due to the usage of the kit. I know why. DO NOT WASH WITH CLEANSER TWICE A DAY!!! salicylic acid is acidic. washing your face twice a day with this stuff is harmful. I remember using kits twice a day and i broke out with exzema over the acne. it looked terrible. do not use the benzoyl peroxide twice a day eIther. This is how I DO IT. I wash my face with the cleanser in the morning and then I put a little cera ve lotion on to handle the dryness effect. Then i put on the sunscreen. at night i wash with cera ve cleanser to hydrate my skin b4 putting on the lotion which drys the skin. and u may be using too much of everything. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY!!!

Pros:

i have been using it for a month now...my acne has certainly reduced.

Cons:

but my concern is that i ve noticed that whereever my skin has contact after the application of the acne control lotion or the cleanser,it had colored marks(light orangish)..i have noticed it on my sheets and my face towel.

so if this is the effect on fabric...what is the long term harm it might be causing to my skin..i dunno what to do about it...

Pros:

Looks pretty. I like the facial cleanser.

Cons:

If you have severe adult acne, steer clear. My face seemed to get better after a few weeks, only to divebomb into the worst breakout I've had since I was a teen. I'm still battling some big, scar-inducing ones!

If you just get the occasional pimple and want a nice easy system to maintain your face, here you go.

Pros:

My pimples went away a bit

Cons:

It severly dried out my skin to the point where I had to put oil on it. Even the skin on my eyelids dried out! The moisturizer was not near as rich as it should be.

Even though some of the pimples went away, I had to deal with extremely dry and peeling skin. It's kind of like trading one skin problem for another. I don't recommend this product at all, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Pros:

Makes pimples go away quickly.
Nice Smell
Better than Proactive

Cons:

For some people this can make them very irritated or have dry skin

This really does work, just give it some time and you should be pretty clear , without it my face would be a warzone. The only problem is that I run out fast.

Pros:

none

Cons:

1.Tight on skin
2.Burns the first time
3.Costs too much

This was horrible...i thought it would work but it didn't and i wasted lik money for something that just caused me to become more red and dry...which caused my forehead to completely break out...its really not worth it..only works on certain skin tone...but mine was combination and i didn't help at all

Pros:

the cleanser is really nice, makes your face feel clean

Cons:

the overnight lotion does make your skin dry but i guess thats normal for a bp product.

for me i'm not sure it works though becuase it did work the first 2 weeks i used it but after that my face became a breakout nightmare. and now i have around 4 puss like pimples on my face per week which i actually never really had before.

Pros:

Clears up stubborn acne. No chemically harsh smelling cream (its actually quite pleasant).

Cons:

Overnight acne lotion is super strong. It really tightens and dries up your face, but when used with the moisturizer its hardly noticeable.

This product actually really works. I tried other 3-step products before and nothing has worked as well as this one. By the end of week 2, I could really see a noticeably clearer difference in my breakout areas (cheeks and around chin). Get this product now.
