Pros:

-Made my skin soft
-worked for a couple weeks

Cons:

-Worked for a little bit, but after using it for to long it stopped working.
-Makes my skin really oily now

I started using this product when it was around the beginning of December 2010. it worked for a bit but stopped and i started to break out on my chin and i never use to break out on my chin. i also started having large pimples and my skin became more oily. I am still using it because i still have hope but if i don't see progress I'm just going to stop.

Pros:

Nice, fresh scent.

Cons:

It does have a waxy consistency.
Made me break out.

The first two days on this 3 in 1 system were great. My skin was smoother and less red. However upon day 3 I noticed I was getting these small bumps on my temples and below my jaw line. Luckily you couldn't see them... but I could feel them. I stopped using the products, went back to Dan's Regimen, and the bumps have gone away. I've never had an issue with salicylic acid products before, but this one definitely did not agree with my skin.

Pros:

-works well as a skin softener and moisturizer
-fresh smell, and makes skin feel "tingly"

Cons:

-worked great at first however now that i have been using it for a while my skin seems to have grown...immune?

-when i first began using it it actually helped clear my skin a bit, but now the acne is back and it doesnt seem to be workign at clearing it, however my recent breakouts could be attributed to other factors so i am not completely blaming the product -but it is still great and removing oil with out the redness, moisturizing and makes my skin glow=)

Pros:

Feels nice on skin n it feels like ur skin is cold ha..

Cons:

umm.. none really..

bottom line, is that u use this 1st, then 2 others, u can buy it anywhere but I got mine at Wal-Mart n yea it was bout 15$ 4 the whole set.. anyways, the kit keeps your skin 4rm being too red thats bout it.. if u want systs or big things like that to go away, I recommend the Zeno aka zit zapper lol.. u can get it at any drug store.. but anyways, it works good 4 the redness.. n does'nt burn your skin.. real easy on it.. anyways, I use alot of things b4 but this is'nt gud 4 moderate-real severe acne.. only gud 4 low case acne, to like keep your skin smooth n soft n scrub a lil pimples u got, but not alot.. I have alot of methods.. I've had real bad acne but it's finally calming down.. like, sit in the sun 4 bout 30-45 minutes each day if possible on a mat or sumthin, that really cleared my acne good n is fast.. n natural ha.. email me if you'd like to many more methods..leifsjohnson@[link removed]

Pros:

Does not dry out the skin surrounding blemishes, helps soothe really irritated skin, smells much better than other types of treatments.

Cons:

Needs mulitple applications daily to be most effective, leaves oily skin really shiny- especially in warmer weather.

A decent treatment, but most effective when paired with the scrub from the same line.

Helps with redness
This product helped reduce redness on my face as well as larger pimples, but after using it for a few months, it left me with small bumps all over my forehead because this product stripped my skin's natural oils. If you have sensitive skin I do not recommend this because the cooling/tingling effect is known to damage skin. On the other hand, it is good at bringing the heads of pimples to the surface, but I wouldn't use it everywhere on the face.

Pros:

smells nice, only acne topical product that hasn't really dried my skin out, leaves skin soft to touch..

Cons:

at some times it gave me even more pimples, i would put it on at night, and wake up with even more pimples i started with.

this product was very "iffy" for me... the first time i tried it it worked great, but i also used it with a combo of other products... then i stoped using it bc i needed more of a treatment not a lotion for my acne. but when my skin was starting to get dry again i used it again and broke me out. im my opinion this is for people with light, moderate acne and not the kind i have which is fairly moderate. i would recommend this to people with mild acne

Pros:

leaves your skin verry soft as long as you use a moisturizer with it.

Cons:

doesn't really help clear acne that much

this is a great product for me. don't expect it to clear your face though. it can help a little but its main selling point for me is how soft it makes your face when used with a moisturizer.
