Pros:

-works.. for the first month or so
-semi-cheep, Cheeper then Proactiv
-includes a moisturizer.. which help alot.
- includes a $5.00 descount on the next purchase of this product.

Cons:

-Does not clear all of your acne.. it works on the big one
-Forget one treatment (You are surpposed to use it once at day and once at night) and your screwed
-know your propotions.. once you run out of one thing, you have to buy the whole thing again

I am a boy and i used to use this. It did not make my acne go away. Note that i have used this product for about 6 months.. This is not ment for a long time use.. i guess this wasn't ment for me. If you have oily skin.. DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. I am using oxy and that is working for me.. i guess this wasn't meant for me.. P.S when you sweat , it looks like milk is running down your face.. didn't help my image. .. If your activve and sweet alot.. not for you

Pros:

none.

Cons:

absolutely does not work. made my acne WORSE. i went from a few bumps to cystic ones on my forehead (right smack in the middle, i have the ugliest bindi ever now, lol). then i had tiny little bumps on my cheeks show up

don't even bother. i rated affordability as 1 because i may as well have slathered bacon grease (which is free) on my face for all the good it did. proactiv DOES work and MUCH better than this crap.

Pros:

i have been using it for a month now...my acne has certainly reduced.

Cons:

but my concern is that i ve noticed that whereever my skin has contact after the application of the acne control lotion or the cleanser,it had colored marks(light orangish)..i have noticed it on my sheets and my face towel.

so if this is the effect on fabric...what is the long term harm it might be causing to my skin..i dunno what to do about it...

Pros:

My pimples went away a bit

Cons:

It severly dried out my skin to the point where I had to put oil on it. Even the skin on my eyelids dried out! The moisturizer was not near as rich as it should be.

Even though some of the pimples went away, I had to deal with extremely dry and peeling skin. It's kind of like trading one skin problem for another. I don't recommend this product at all, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Pros:

none

Cons:

1.Tight on skin
2.Burns the first time
3.Costs too much

This was horrible...i thought it would work but it didn't and i wasted lik money for something that just caused me to become more red and dry...which caused my forehead to completely break out...its really not worth it..only works on certain skin tone...but mine was combination and i didn't help at all

Pros:

the cleanser is really nice, makes your face feel clean

Cons:

the overnight lotion does make your skin dry but i guess thats normal for a bp product.

for me i'm not sure it works though becuase it did work the first 2 weeks i used it but after that my face became a breakout nightmare. and now i have around 4 puss like pimples on my face per week which i actually never really had before.

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.
