Worked for quite a while
I am a 17yo with mild facial acne. Ok, so this stuff for me was incredibly gentle on my sensitive skin. I never had any burning sensations or anything. I started this when I was 15 and at first I didn't really see any changes in my skin. However, I felt like washing my face everyday was drying it out so I just washed it once every day. It took about a month for me to have the most amazing and smooth, clear skin. I was getting compliments all the time about how great my skin looked and it made me feel so confident. This routine for me worked until about 6 months ago when my skin just stopped being treated by it. Now I am on some stuff prescribed by my GP and I haven't had much success.

Changed Formula :(
I used this product for over 5 years and it worked at keeping my skin clean , I had the only occasional pimple with that time of the month. Unfortunately they change the product and when I bought the new kit it didn't work the wonders that it use to. My face was adjusted to the old formula and loved it. I wouldn't say that the new one isn't going to work for yourself though. And i do trust dermalogica as a brand , so i tired another kit by them but t also didn't suit my skin anymore. Give it a shot though , no harm in trying.

Pros:

is a good way to keep your skin fresh and clear, improves acne and smells nice + bedtime for breakouts is great

Cons:

using every one of the products can leave your skin dry, mainly the toner and hit the spot pimple cream

its a good product but it doesn't clear your skin dramatically or completely, at least for me it didn't, i still have break-outs and always a few pimples here and there. i tend to just use the bed time for breakouts and the mask/exfoliator makes your skin feel fresh and soft after but then usually leads to a breakout :/ it helps your skin but isn't the solution to getting rid of acne forever

Pros:

Helps reduce redness, large pimples go away faster

Cons:

Didn't help with blackheads, didn't truly clear acne

I used this product for around nine months, this product definitely cleared my skin from where it was reducing the redness in my cheeks incredibly, but I still woke up everyday with new breakouts and blackheads. I think this product is best for very light acne because it does help to balance and even your skin. It's a good product but it wasn't strong enough for me, I am now using the regimen and in three weeks and my skin is better than ever before.
