Pros:

Gentle yet effective. Natural, nice packaging. Doesn't irritate your skin at all. All products work in a different way.

Cons:

Can get expensive if you use the whole line, need to use exclusively and not really incorporate other products. Need to use all the time.

Aveda is a great company, and they finally have an Acne product. It is natural, clean smelling and works well, but you do need to use it religiously and for the most part without any other products. I used this for about a year and my skin was pretty nice, with the exception of a few breakouts here and there. I did have to give it a good couple of months though to see great results. I also feel like it stopped working after a year. It is really gentle but it does keep skin clear without the irritation, redness, or dryness. I love the exfoliant pads - cut them in half and use them for twice as long.

Pros:

I have had cysts along my jawline for several months now, and since I started using Outer Peace two weeks ago, I haven't had any! I've tried Clinique, Biore, and other lines, and this is by far the best!

Cons:

EXPENSIVE. Around $100 for the lotion, pads, and foaming cleanser.

If you have the money, try it. It definitely helped me.

Pros:

Cleanser made my skin feel soft andsmooth, natural plant ingredients, helped somewhat with acne but not the total cure

Cons:

The acne pads are a bit harsh, the lotion was making my skin dry so i mixed it together with another hydrating lotion (the spf 15 toumaline charged protecting lotion) and got much better results

I do not think you need to use all the products together, actually using all of them together every day and night made my skin dry. I love the cleanser and use that on a daily basis, but the pads i only use 3-4x a week when my skin gets a bit oily. The lotions work better when mixed. If it is too expensive for you to get all of the products, I would go with the cleanser and lotion.
