Pros:

it seems to have cleared up my skin, and is an easy regimen to follow- I love the convenient packaging!

Cons:

It's made my face really shiny. The morning after using the night cream when I washed my face it felt like I had a layer of slime all over it.

It cleared up my acne but in exchange made my face look like I smeared it with vaseline- gross. It also is disgusting when washing you face in the morning because of the layer of gook the night cream has doesn't seems to absorb. Overall I did not like this product and I regret buying it. Even though the packaging is nice, and I like the idea of having two different acne solutions for day and night.

It was really hard to find and when I did find it the bottles were usually expired. The stuff didn't do crap. The day gel dried out my face and the night lotion didn't do anything. Do not buy.

Pros:

You get two medications in one bottle for one price, so you don't have acne stuff all over your bathroom.

Cons:

It dries out your skin badly, so you have to use a moisterizer for it. Spot treatments work better than putting it all over your face, like a mask.

You should use it if you have mild, like the occastional acne. The gel is clear and drys fast, so you can put make up over it and the lotion is okay. I think that the lotion dries out your skin more than the gel.
