Pros:

worked within the first 2 days
smells nice
did not over dry my face (i am really oily)

Cons:

price
and amount of product

this worked for me after only 2days of use. i have very oily skin but i have few breakouts. it smells nice and goes on nicely too. for all those who are looking for the right acne product to work you should use something for at least 6 months so you can get use to it. unless of course you react to it soon after you try it.

Pros:

clears skin
makes pores smaller
skin is brighter
gets rid of red marks on skin!
softer skin
increases confidence :D

Cons:

works slowly need patience
can make skin feel a little dry

Okay, so I've been using this product for like a week and a half and I seriously see the difference. My skin is WAY softer. My forehead is totally clearing up and so is my chin. My cheeks still have these little bumps, but they will go soon. I have like 3 noticeable pimples but I think they shall be leaving soon, We'll see! Try this product out seriously.

Pros:

Nice packaging, smells good, cool to have a built-in scrub

Cons:

Too harsh for sensitive skin

I had oily skin when I started this product; it dried my skin out to the point where my follicles started churning more oil out to make up for the deficiency, resulting in oilier skin than ever before, with - get this - dry patches all over the place, because the skin underneath was producing tons of oil but the skin on top was still dry and dead from the topical treatment. The Benzoyl Peroxide also bleaches any fabric with which it comes into contact, which STINKS because it makes all your sheets look funny, and you have to be VERY careful when dressing and undressing. This product got rid of my acne for a little while, but the pain and dryness wasn't really worth it, and after about a year, just like Proactiv, my skin caught on to the game and the product stopped working.

Pros:

Improves skin texture and reduces acne.

Cons:

You have to constantly use it or you'll break out even worse. It's also harsh to the skin; the moisturizer doesn't seem to be strong enough.

It's a lot better than Proactiv, but you have to stay on the regimen. It cleared up my skin!!

Pros:

It leaves you with a clean feeling and makes your face shine and if used properly will really work.

Cons:

Its gonna take about a week to really notice a differrence and in order to make a difference you must use in the night and morning and avoid choclate and grease.

it is way better than clean and clear, noxema, purpose,zapyt, terminator, etc.

Pros:

Does work fairly well, doesn't remove all my acne, but removes most of it.

Cons:

Does not work super fast.

I have used this for about 2-3 weeks, and it has cleared up most of my acne. I will admit that if it wasn't for this, my face would be really bad. But this stuff works really well, and I love the night cream. But, it did dry up my skin a bit, so I don't think it is for those with dry skin. My skin is pretty oily, so I think it would work for me because of that.

Pros:

Worked well for a while...

Cons:

Acne got worse for the first two days... then cleared up. Now after 2 months its litterally stopped working, it might have even made my face worse.

Im not going to be one of those people that say " it doesnt work for me so it wont work for anyone" that being said give it a try.

Pros:

Clears pimples fast, reduces redness, and doesn't dry out skin!

Cons:

All smells kind of funky...but you get used to it.

I am someone who has such sensitive skin that it breaks out simply by looking at it wrong. This product has made my skin look and feel so amazing without the usual adverse effects of drying, flaking, and being red and irritated. It works so well! I'd suggest using it in conjunction with the acne mark fading peel. Both together have made such a difference in my life. If nothing has ever worked for you, this one just may!

Pros:

Inexpensive, Felt good on my skin (for a little while anyway).

Cons:

I had more acne after I started using this product than I ever have before. I broke out under my eyes and on my forehead-places that I have never had acne. I'm not sure if I should keep trying or just end the damage here.

It looks like it has worked for other people, but for me, this was a disaster. My skin is dry and I have more acne than I have ever had in my life.

Pros:

No active acne after only four days

Cons:

Just seems like a lot of product

No active acne after only four days. I will see how it progresses as it seems the other posts do mention this. Sometimes drying, but only put bp on major problem areas, other than that the facial wash is really working. Use small amount of moisturizer. Even though I have no active, i still have ton of red marks :-(
