Pros:

It cleared my skin in about a week, smoothening it as well!

Cons:

It cleared everywhere except my nose. I got pimples inside and outside of my nose, both extremely sensitive.

It works if youre not trying to get rid of nose pimples. It works just about everywhere BUT there.

Pros:

not oily, the face scrub is amazing, and overall works great!

the night gel tends to make my face stiff and dry, but the effects are great!

I have only been using this system 1 day and I can already see the changes. my acne has gotten smaller and my skin is so much softer! I love it!

Pros:

This product did not help with my inflammatory acne while i was using it did it did however take away every pimple on my forehead and chin but my cheeks still got frequent breakouts.My face was still oily also.

Cons:

Left my face oily.Didnt get the full benefit of the treatment.

Its a good treatment for people with Mild to moderate acne.People with severe acne should give up on over the counter treatments and try to go sell a dermatoligist as soon as possible.

Pros:

Good, easy system to follow, clears skin well, prevents zits

Cons:

Skin may be getting used to BP

I've never had bad acne, but it was enough to be annoying. Zits on my chin, jawline, and some on my nose drove me nuts. I also had terrible blackheads on my nose and cheeks. After using this for about 12 weeks now, I have noticed a significant difference from when I started. I break out much less now (usually only during stressful periods or when I'm not treating my body well), and my blackheads are all but gone. I still get a few zits here and there, but I'm wondering if the BP 2.5% is losing effectiveness. Overall, great treatment for mild to medium acne (in my experience).

Pros:

Noticeable difference! Skin is no longer oily/shiny and instead is clear/smooth.

Cons:

Skin will probably get worse before it gets better. Not recommended for sensitive skin.

At first my acne prone areas got worse, new bumps and redness, however the other areas of my face were much smoother and clearer. The side effects went away after about 3 days. The facewash is refreshing in the mornings and evenings and leaves the face feeling clean. The moisturizer is nice and is SPF 15 but has a slight smell. The overnight mask is the acne killer but it can leave your face feeling tight and dry Definitely try it if you don't have overly sensitive skin. Stick with it for at least 2 weeks. After the first week if your skin gets too dry, stop and give your face a break for a couple nights then start up again. I am still on my first kit and it's been about 2 months. I get a small breakout if I get lazy and don't stay on the regimen, but going right back on it and using a spot remover the breakout is gone overnight.

Pros:

Inexpensive, Only 3 steps, clears up skin fast,

Cons:

A little drying

I was about to buy Philosophy's Makeup Optional kit, but thought I'd try a less expensive product first. I'm so glad I did!! This Neutrogena kit is great!! It's really easy, 2 steps in the morning and 2 at night. I noticed a difference the first week I started using it. My only problem was that the BP night lotion left my skin really dry. I solved that problem by using Cetaphil moisturizing CREAM. Not a problem anymore! I highly recommend this.

Pros:

It produces results! The cleanser gives a clean, refreshed feeling. The day/night lotions are easy to apply, and smell great. It prevents breakouts, and it leaves skin looking smooth and flawless. And, the most important part, it eliminates acne.

Cons:

The night lotion does leave skin feeling tight, but I usually find that it's gone once I wake up.

With any medication you try, you should always give it time. Consistency produces the best results. I use to have moderate-severe acne, and now my face is completely healed.

Pros:

makes my fave feel awesomely smoothe
last time I used this product, my face was absolutely blemish free.

Cons:

As soon as summer hit, the product made me break out like crazy. I would reccomend not spending much time in the sun or tanning beds for that matter. The product will work against you.

I used this product two years a ago and my face was all clear until summer came along. I stopped using it. But now that my skin has been in the worst condition it's ever been in, I'm starting to use it again and I remeber why I loved it.

Pros:

cleared up my skin in a matter of days
easy to use

Cons:

my skin is a bit dry

My skin started to get really bad out of no where, I tried several products (including proactiv) and none of them worked, in fact most just made my skin worse. I read about this product in an article and decided to try it, and so far it's been a GREAT decision. Im hoping it continues to clear my skin until the point of complete clarity. The only thing i would change about it is that i would put the products in bottles that have pumps on them instead, sometimes the wash slips right off my fingers!

Pros:

I have used this product for about 3-4 months. My face is almost clear, with one-two small pimples. Before, my face always harbored 5-10 pimples. My face (cheeks, mostly) was red and oily. I'd recommend it to people with oily skin.

Cons:

After a pimple has formed, it takes about 3-5 days to get rid of it. So it's not a miracle worker that gets rid of pimples in one night.

Recommended to everyone who's willing to be loyal to the regimen. Requires only two applications (One in the day and one in the night). Cleanse only twice, or else your skin will become irritated.
