Pros:

Does not make skin feel irritated. Like the earthy smell. Feels lightweight.

Cons:

Pads can feel harsh on severe acne. Price is expensive.

I have been using this line for about 3 weeks now. I am still not sure how I feel about it as I feel as my acne is getting worse. I was an avid user of Proactiv. As I wanted to try something that would control my oily skin I opted to try this line. First week was great as my skin was not as oily. Second week I started to get more breakouts than usual. Third week I noticed my pores getting smaller but acne was still getting worse. They say it takes at least 4 weeks to get true results so I am not giving up on this product just yet. If my acne clears up within 6-8 weeks I will approve this product.

Pros:

Great lotion with the kit, smells good, leaves your face feeling great, doesn't dry it out

Cons:

Expensive, does not foam up really great, runs out quickly, seems like I have more acne now.
I will continue to use the lotion, it is the best mosturizer I've found on the market.

I've been using this kit for 3 months now, and have not noticed a huge difference. I have adult acne, and before just a problem area on my chin. Now I have acne all along my jaw line that was not there before.
