Pros:

improved skin for about the first week

Cons:

didn't help acne at all

I 100% agree with a lot of the reviews of this product saying it improved their skin the first week and then had diminished results. I was really disappointed and had absolutely no success with this product. My acne I think is actually worse after using these products and I was very faithful in using them for a long time.

Pros:

Smells nice, cleanser felt great

Cons:

How it smells shouldn't be my first pro, caused more breakouts

This product made my skin worse. I break out on and off now for years, but now I have tons of it that is painful and sore. My face really hurts from it and I'm so embarrassed now. I'm a makeup artist, so I'm up close to people all day. Now I have no choice but to wear more makeup to cover it. It dried me out, peeled, but that's expected. I'm super oily, so that didn't effect me too much. The cleanser I liked; my skin felt smooth, clean, tingly, refreshed. However, I don't know if it actually works because my skin is so bad. I thought maybe it was drawing out the acne under the skin, but I see no changes!

Pros:

Smells Good

Cons:

Irritated my skin (which is sensitive)
Spots got worse!
Caused very dry skin.

I used this for about a month, it caused my acne to get worse and my skin to become inflamed and dry. It appeared to work on the first day but then my spots just got worse and worse. The only pro would be that it smells good. I think it needs to be reviewed in 3 seperate steps though: 1. The Spot Control Cleanser isn't to bad. It actually seemed to help my skin a bit and made it look a lot less greasy. 2. The Spot Control Moisturiser is where the trouble begins. As soon as i apply this to my face i get a burning sensation and shortly after my skin gets dry. It only seemed to irritate my acne further and caused small white heads to appear more frequently. 3. The Fast Clearing Spot Treatment didn't really seem to do anything at all except make my skin feel tight after i applied it, it also seemed to add to the burning sensation. Overall from my personal experience i would highly advise people to avoid this product. It seemed to be too aggressive on my sensitive skin and only made things worse.

Dueces acne ✌
It has really worked well for my face. I have tried sooo many products that did not work for me until this one. It requires some patience though. The results will be worth the wait. My skin is so clear right now with no bumps at all. Only like two dried out pimples. It took 6-8weeks to completely clear my face. The first week I experienced a lot of drying and also it used to sting when I put it on my face. After my skin got used to the medication, it stopped stinging. In the second or third week pimples will surface on your skin. This is so as to bring all the pimples to the surface before clearing them. In week 5you will notice a huge difference. Just be patient and give it a try. I am much more happy and confident.
