Pros:

works fast, easy to use and dries out my oily skin

Cons:

a little too dry if you don't have oily skin like me? but i don"t mind.

I'm fifteen with mild acne and after the first day, I even felt the difference. I had been using the clean and clear acne system that worked, but stopped after a couple of months. I had to purchase concealer about every two weeks just to cover up the blemishes. Along with the neutrogena system, I purchased the rapid clear acne spot remover. I apply it at night and it works wonders. However, the cleanser is hard to apply for me. Its a little gooey and I almost always drop some on my counter, ha. It is now my second day, and I cant wait to get up in the morning and see the difference from today.

Pros:

Worked for the first two days

Cons:

Stopped working and after discontinuing, skin broke out

I rarely get any pimples on my face, just a bump or two every now and then and then a few when I am menstruating. I got this product thinking that it would get rid of my acne in no time... but I was very wrong. I started using it twice a day, as instructed and everything was fine. The acne seemed to be clearing up and, after the second day, it was gone. Then, I got some more bumps and kept using it, but it didn't seem to be helping much, after a few weeks. I decided to discontinue and, to my surprise, soon after I woke up with huge redish bumps on my cheek about a day or so after I stopped using this. I have NEVER experienced this before... I am 100% sure it had something to do with this product. I will never buy this stuff again.

Pros:

There were no pros in using this product.

Cons:

Redness and severe facial rash after two days of using this product.

I would not recommend this product to anyone. I have always had clear skin until moving to a new area. My acne was very mild but I wanted clear skin again. I followed the direction on the box and stayed out of the sun as perscribed. After two days of trying this product I broke out in a rash on my face and neck. On the third day the rash became very red and irritated. Then, on the fifth day my face became very dry and a couple pimples formed. My face has never looked this bad. The company was gracious enough to give me a full refund. Don't chance it just use something else.

Pros:

No pros

Cons:

Basically this stuff wrecked my face (and that's sugar coatin it). I got chemical burns on the side of my face and forehead and the only reason I got this stuff was because I was breaking out BAD and thought it would work, what was I thinking!

This stuff kept my acne the same and worsened it I had mild acne so I thought it would work fast but... It didn't remove one pimple I've had the same pimples I did a month ago and got new types of pimples that I have never got before! This stuff sucks I'm starting to use the oil-free acne wash that's redness soothing and I used it for the first time tonight and it feels great! So there's hope:)

Pros:

Cheaper than ProActiv and convenient to buy. I bought it at Target.

Cons:

The same pimples have flaired up and I'm seeing a lot of redness. The new pimples I've received in newer places are cystic like and I've never experienced those before.

UNFORTUNATELY my face had an adverse affect on this! After reading that I was not alone in my venture with this product I felt better... I have used this for the past month and a half and it seems to make my redness worse and is useless for clearing up the pimples.. I feel 14 again and I just turned 23 :( I feel the lotion doesn't moisturize the dryness of the acne lotion... I'm getting dry patches and uneven coloration of my skin. I'm a religious cleanser of my face and have never experienced this before with an acne product. THIS PRODUCT IS NO BUENO!!!!

Pros:

Makes my skin clear in a few days. Cheap for the price you pay. Lotion has SPF.

Cons:

Over use can ruin your skin. Lotion can really only be used in the day.

It's been a long time since I've used products with benzoyl peroxide in it so it will dry out my skin if I over use it too early. I've learned to use the product every other night and with a toner to get rid of the dry skin. My kit came with a free spot treatment so I use that when I feel a pimple developing and it gets rid of it quickly. On the nights I don't use the benzoyl peroxide lotion I use a toner and moisturizer to rehydrate my skin and give it a break from the drying effects of the benzoyl peroxide. I would not recommend this product for people with overly sensitive skin. Many people will make the mistake of using this product twice a day, everyday. That will only quickly dry out your skin and make your acne worse than make it better.

Pros:

It makes your face feel fresh after first using it.

Cons:

The day after using it my face got acne in places I've never had any problems with and my skin got really dried out about 15 minutes after using it.

I used the product for about a month and my face did not improve at all. I use to have light acne, but after using it for a month I'd say my acne is now moderate. I have decided to discontinue the use of the product and have began using the Clean&Clear system which has already lessened the number of bumps on my face after a few days of using it. Therefore I will NEVER use Nuetrogena Advanced Solutions ever again.

Pros:

keeps my skin from developing really bad acne, makes skin nice and smooth

Cons:

takes a while to work on my skin, if I use the sunscreen lotion at night it makes my skin feel kind of greasy.

I've been using this product for about a week. So far, I'd say the whole "works faster than proactive" claim is a lie. But that isn't to say that the product doesn't work.
