Pros:

Effective
Nice smelling
Affordable
Soothing for skin, does not dry your skin out
Good for oily skin

Cons:

Small bottle size
Does not get rid of all blacheads

This stuff works really well. I started breaking out with tiny bumps under my skin on my forehead, the sides of my face and behind my ears. I didn't know what the heck it was and it soon developed into the worst acne I've ever had. I have always had small breakouts now and again, I have oily skin and wasn't taking care of it properly. When I started using Mirena, it got worse, then cleared up when I started using the proper cleansing products and doing a good regimen. When this craziness started in December, I started using everything I could find. I googled and found that salicylic acid and benzoyle peroxide were two of the most active treatments. I was using a salicylic acid face wash and a salicylic acid moisturizer that was non-comodogenic and things just got worse. I kept thinking once this breakout cleared up, or this zit went away, it would be over. I even went to a doctor and got a prescription compound and I thought it was helping. After almost 3 months of seriously wanting to hide my face in public and starting to get depressed about my appearance, I happened to go into a Ulta beauty supply store. The lady there recommended this product. At first I was skeptical b/c the active ingredient in most of the bottles is salicylic acid, and I was already using that, plus it said it was for teens and I'm 24 - but I took a chance. I saw a difference in my face after maybe 3 days. I DID still have a pretty bad breakout when I got my cycle, but it cleared right up! I have been using it almost 2 weeks now and my face is looking so normal again! TRY this product, it's worth it!

Pros:

Cleared my acne, helped scarring go away, smells good, nice foam

Cons:

none

I really like these products. I am a teen and since they are designed for teens makes it even better! They really helped clear up my skin and they even helped get rid of some of the scarring that I had on my forehead. I don't have very heavy acne anymore, but I used to( previously ) When I started using this product my acne was light with occasional break outs. It won't clear up your skin in 24 hours, but you have to use it for a while before you start to REALLY notice a difference. It also helped with redness. I have redness around the cheek area and this really evened my skin tone. I love how to toner you mist over your face instead of wiping your face with a cotton ball. The bottles are really fun too! The face scrub/mask thingy i love also. It says use it 3-5 times a week but I use it only 2 times because I feel like i'm scrubbing my face raw if I use any scrub that often. it does make your skin softer! I also recommend getting their lipshine. It is amazing!

Work in Progress
It's said to be true that when you use a new product for your skin, it can take up to 6 weeks for you to see if it really is starting to work. My 23 year old sister has a friend that lives in California with her and works in the "beauty business." My sister said she told her friend about my acne problems, so she suggested the "Start Clear" starter kit, it's slowly starting to work, I wash my face twice a day with the normal wash. Mornings I do normal wash and the the moisturizer/toner and I'm set for the entire day of school. Nights I just do the normal wash and apply the moisturizer/toner. It's really working well, I guarantee if you use if for a little while, you will start to see positive results.

Amazing!
Absolutely love this product. Have been going through hell trying to find a product that suits my skin type and would help to clear up my adult acne. My skin is not dry nor oily. This product started working from day one. It feels light on your skin and your skin feels natural, soft and healthy! A combination of this product, healthy eating (no sugar) and birth control and my acne is almost gone after 4 horrible months.

Pros:

-helped clear my acne in about 2-4 weeks
-clears hormonal acne very effectively
-smells good
-leaves skin very soft and smooth

Cons:

-full size products are pricey

I first purchased the mini kit of travel sized products, after about a month of acne free skin i purchased the full sized products. i have used proactive, clean and clear, natural remedies and clinique but this has shown the best improvement in my skin. i especially love the "bedtime for breakouts" product, im not sure what it is but if leaves my skin looking AMAZING the next morning!

Shrunk pores.
Gets rid of bigger pimples.

Cons:

Didn't get rid of blackheads.
After using it, your skin doesn't "feel" clean (But it is clean!)
