it really works but abit harsh to wear it alone
I have oily skin with enlarged pores and acne marks and scars, I used to get alot of white heads and black heads on my T zone and the occasionally cystic pimple every month. I have been using the lotion on and off, because it was abit drying and I wanted to try something else. I have tried retinol cream and it gave me a whole face of bumps and cystic acne in a week of using it, so I ended up going back to the lotion. I have tried other BP products over the year, but I found this one dries up my pimples the quickest. I recently started to use a product called Thursday Plantation clarifying oil as a moisturiser, I would massage the clarifying oil on my face first, then apply the lotion at the end. This way my face doesn't get irritated and still gets the benefit of the BP. I have been on this routine for 2 weeks now, my T-zone has became alot less oily, and my pores are definitely smaller.

Pretty awesome cream!!
I think we should trust this product, it is professional and good working cream, I have used this product from long time and I hadn't any bad problems, but it is good for my skin and I prefer it, more than another product, it keeps my skin always healthy and clean, I really like it, thanks.

I love it!
Let me start by saying of the whole line of proactiv I only use this, and I love it. I wash my face with the dove quarter moisture bar use the repairing lotion and then finish with Burt's bee's intense moisture lotion. My skin is tight and clear and beautiful! :)

Pros:

works on pimples

Cons:

hard to buy separately

I buy the repairing lotion separately and use it for my BP step of the regimen. It's the only thing that hasn't clumped with my moisturizer. Last time I read the product recommendations for the regimen, it said gels didn't cause clumping, but every gel causes it for me. Even Dan's BP clumped. Definitely don't use it without moisturizing afterward, though. The proactiv instructions say to do that, but if you do that, your skin might be really dry.

Pros:

This really doesn't have a great consistency for the regimen. Easy to spread and apply.

Cons:

I'd said Proactiv is pricey, but I can't complain about that since I had three months worth given to me by a friend.

I think it's better than plain BP if you can get your hands on it alone, since BP is going to be drying at least at first. So it offers a little more moisture, even my oily skin needs the extra moisture. Not to mention, it's oil-free. I'm glad to have three months supply of this stuff so I can use it instead of just plain BP. Of course this lotion is going to be drying as others stated, but that's because it's BP! haha. But like I said, it's nice to have around if you have it because it's a moisturizer too. Although, I cleanse, use Proactiv Repairing Lotion, and I still use a dry skin lotion after this.. and I have EXTREMELY oily skin, but BP dries me out. So never underestimate the power of moisture when you're using BP.

Pros:

Does work with consistancy. I started breaking out on my forehead pretty bad a while back, proactive got rid of it. I find it works best when you use alot of the repairing lotion.

Cons:

Dries out your skin. Over priced.

Over all this product works well for me. Does work. Makes your skin look way better, evens skin tone, gets rid of acne. I know for some people i know it didnt work as well asit does for me, but it IS worth a try.

Pros:

-It really works! It dries up your pimples and speeds up the healing process.

Cons:

-It removes the pimples but it leaves scars. It also gives this unbelievable itchiness.

The lotion makes it veeerryyy itchy but if you have self control, it's bearable. I noticed a pimple growing two days ago and so I applied the lotion for two consecutive nights. Right now, it's still there but it is on its late stages. I use this with ProActiv Renewing cleanser (WHICH IS THE BEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED!) and proactiv toner.

Pros:

Very light and feels really great when applied to face. The fragrance isn't too strong and smells fresh, actually. Cleared my exsisting acne to an extent.

Cons:

Tends to dry out my face just a little and does make me flake a little. In the T zone it does the opposite of drying out, it actually makes me more oily. (but the Refining Mask takes care of that.)

Clears up face but does also dry it out. USE THE GREEN TEA MOISTURIZERRRR! ITS AMAZING

Pros:

Feels nice to use, and is really light, so easy to put on. Smelt good not overly fragrancy.

Cons:

A little bit irritating after a while. Quite overpriced for what it is.

Worth trying did help a bit but I just wasnt very consistant with it.
