Pros:

Moisturizer is good.
Night cream goes on smooth, not too drying.

Cons:

Concentration of medication too low.
Terrible consistency.
Terrible aroma. Does not work!

Absolute waste of money. I threw this out after using it for a month and bought the products I was using before (Clean & Clear Cleansing Scrub and CVS brand benzoyl peroxide). It ruined the beautiful complexion I had worked so hard to achieve. I broke out all over my chin, and my skin became oily and temperamental. The absolute worst part was the consistency and smell of the cleanser. It has a disgusting, congealed texture and does not exfoliate or lather easily. Leaks in the bottle and will often times slip right out of your hands. Incredibly, unnecessarily hard to clean your face with. The BP night treatment is nothing new. Get the 10% store brand for a fourth of the price of this kit - and grab an exfoliating cleanser with a higher percentage of SA, while you're at it. Save yourself the time and trouble.

Pros:

Can't think of a single thing.

Cons:

Drying and did not see any results.

I used this product for several months, as directed, until all the bottles ran out and saw NO RESULTS whatsoever. For the first two weeks it made my skin dry and flaky. After that, my skin returned to normal but I still had loads of breakouts and the products seemed to have no effect on them at all.

Pros:

Cheaper than proactive

Cons:

Too harsh of a cleanser

I really thought this product dried out my skin and it made me breakout even more. I've used other Neutrogena products, but it was never this harsh. I used it the first day I bought it and that was it. The cleanser was way too harsh on my skin. If you have sensitive skin or even normal skin, do NOT use this product.

Cons:

Made my skin breakout. No real noticeable difference in skin tone and texture.

Don't buy,

Pros:

the only thing that's usable is the facial wash. but it hardly helps either.

Cons:

the night cream sucks. it envelopes you pimples then it gets under your skin and you get lump-like-pimples or something. made my skin worse.

day cream doesn't work at all. only makes your face super shiny like a bald head.

didn't work for me. made it worse. bought this product from the states and i thought it would work. psshh! IT DIDN'T!!! oh yeah, the packaging of the facial cleanser drips. even if the cap is on the liquid inside oozes out. I dunno why.
