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:

~I have one or no pimples currently
~BP Cream is AWESOME!

Cons:

~I find the Moisturizer a little oily for my oily skin.

Completely worth it. Improves face AND self-esteem.

Pros:

~ Reduces redness within the first couple days
~ Cleanser feels like it actually CLEANS skin
~ Night cream tightens your skin a tiny bit so you know it's working!

Cons:

~ Cleanser dries out skin a little but is helped a little with the day cream
~ Hasn't quite reduced the AMOUNT of pimples yet.

I've been using this product for a week and I love it! I can feel it working and it has definitely reduced the size and redness of pimples, however there has been no change in the amount of pimples. (hopefully that will change with continued use) Cleans and refreshs my skin in 2 easy steps... Morning: wash with cleanser and apply day cream Night: wash with cleanser and apply night cream SIMPLE! Give it a try :)

Pros:

it worked by the next day! on day 2 i found that my pimples were getting smaller

Cons:

got twice as many pimples then i usually get when i stopped using the stuff.

this is a great product to use if you have impossible acne..it might not work as fast as you hope but it really works. for me on the other hand, i'm in high school and i play sports all year round, i sweat alot and after i started a season my acne kept coming back but once the season ended and i had a 3 week break until the next season my acne would disappear with this product.

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:

~Did not dry out my skin.
~Night cream does very good job at reducing pimple size.
~Cleanser actually makes your face feel clean!

Cons:

~Small lotion sizes.
~That's about it, other than the fact that the price is a bit too much judging by the lotion sizes.

I really have seen a bit less redness on my skin in only the first two days, but pimple wise, there is no improvement YET, but I have hope!

Pros:

It works well, and it works fast. It's also been successful in stopping breakouts as soon as they start.

Cons:

The only con I noticed was the night cream makes my skin feel tight. But that goes away within 20 minutes, or so. And, I guess I wish the lotions had a little wider base. They fall over too easily on my counter. Minor issue. :)

I love this stuff. I wish I had this 20 years ago. My mom is in her 50's and has acne. I've been plagued with it since middle school, and now I'm in my 30's. This is the first thing that has really worked for me, and didn't dry my skin out excessively, or make me jump through alot of hoops. It's two steps, twice a day. Wash and moisturize. That's it. Within the first couple of days I noticed some improvement. By the end of the first week people were already commenting on how much better my skin was looking. I've had a few pimples try to rear their ugly heads, and after following the night routine, they're gone the next morning. (there was one that was a little more stubburn, but the rest haven't lasted through the night) I love this stuff. I'll keep using it as long as they make it. It doesn't dry my skin like other creams have (some people complained of it being exessively drying, but that could just be different skin types/different reactions).
