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:

it smells nice

Cons:

everything else

I used Proactiv as a teen which cleared my face, smelled great, and made my skin look great. I am now in my twenties and pregnant, which has caused that acne to come back. I used this product because it advertised to work faster than Proactiv, and my face was in such discomfort I went ahead and tried it so I wouldn't have to wait for the Proactiv to be shipped. Well, I have now ordered Proactiv and will wait as long as it takes because this stuff dried my face so horribly I was in straight agony. It caused burns all over my face which felt like a horrible sunburn. My face was bright red and peeling. On top of that, it made my breakouts worse -- pimples were popping up underneath ones that were not healing -- very painful. DO NOT buy this product if you have normal skin like mine, or dry skin. I hear it works ok if you have oily skin, but you will definitely need a stronger moisturizer than the one it comes with.

Pros:

-works pretty fast
-cleanser makes my skin feel refreshed
-moisturizer has a great consistency

Cons:

-smells terrible
-overnight cream leaves skin dry (if not used w/moisturizer)
-acne will return QUICKLY if regimen broken

After reducing my severe acne to a more moderate level with antibiotics, I started on this treatement to eliminate whatever I had left. The moisturizer DOES make your skin shiny during the day as it combines with oily skin, but using Clean and Clear oil sheets to wipe once or twice during the day gives great results. Also, I found that applying the moisturizer once more before the night cream helps with dryness and keeps your skin comfortable throughout the night. For me, this product worked exactly as advertised...I've gone from being an Accutane candidate to almost clear skin.

Pros:

Worked the first night..! Doesnt dry out my face at all. Cleared acne in 3 weeks.

Cons:

Doesnt really have a smell, but its better than a smell you cant stand.

Its great but I'm just a teenager in high school, acne breaks out around my pd, but nothing like it use to..I'm not use there will ever be anything to clear acne around pds. I think thats just something that comes with being a female. This stuff really worked for me!!! 8)~

Smells nice, the day lotion is nice.

I've been using this for 3 weeks and have not seen an improvement. I'm actually breaking out on my cheeks now, which has never happened before I used this product.

Didn't work for me.

Pros:

It has a good smell, the cleanser makes you skin really soft and makes you feel really clean.

Cons:

The night cream makes you skin a pretty dry, the moisturizer makes you skin oily. It stopped working for me after like a week and my face went back to where it started...horrible.

Try it if you have light acne and make sure you don't have dry skin or really oily skin because the night cream will turn your skin into bread crumbs or the moisturizer will fill your face with oil.
