Pros:

Works really well. I have tried so many topicals (Differin, Tazorac, Klaron lotion, retin-a, proactive) and so far this works the best. It does not dry out my skin, or leave it feeling greasy. It also does not cause redness which is a problem that I've had with other topicals. I use this in conjunction with keflex and so far so good. Hopefully this will save me from having to use accutane

Cons:

Smells bad (doesn't bother me that much), expensive even with insurance. Pharamacist told me that a lot of insurances do not cover it.

Would recommend highly. If moderate to severe acne, best to use in conjunction with either an antibiotic or birth control pill if acne is hormonally influenced.

Pros:

I have never use anything like this before you begin to see results in just matter of days...My skin was an even tone and i received compliments on my skin

Cons:

Depending on your insurance this product can be expensive...I noticed the price increase twice while using the product...

This is the BEST PRODUCT to resolve skin problems...I just requested another refill on my prescription...I use it twice daily once on the morning and evening oafter my workouts...Three during the week I will actually apply a light facial mask and sleep...the final results will speak volumes

Pros:

A good cleanser for taking off makeup
Made my skin feel clean
Good packaging
Lathers well

Cons:

Smell bad (sulfury)

I used the cleansing cloth version of this and really liked it while I was on it. Used with differin gel and minocycline (on and off). The cloths were packaged well and I usually tore them in half and got 2 uses out of them. They lathered really well and were great for taking off my makeup. They always made my skin feel clean and I feel like they did a good job of getting rid of excess oil. Only con is that they reeked of sulfur (which of course is an active ingredient))!

Pros:

Plexion is GREAT! Makes my skin very soft and smooth and cleared acne almost immediately. I have not had this good of luck with any other product - prescription or over-the-counter.

Cons:

Skin was dry and flaky (nothing extreme) for first 2 weeks. I was using twice daily and still continue to do so. No dryness now. Pricey - my copay is $65, but 12 oz seems to last for quite a while. Smell isn't awesome, but not terrible either.

Pros outweigh cons significantly. Plexion cleared my face beautifully. I hope it continues to work. I have noticed that if I do not use it in the a.m., then by that evening I can see some small bumps forming - but after washing in the evening it seems clear again. It's worth a shot!

Pros:

Works very well as a spot treatment (if I use it on my whole face, it tends to get red, flaky and irritated). Seems to clear up breakouts pretty fast-within a few days.

Cons:

Very bad smell! Sometimes doesn't work, especially with hormonal, cystic pimples (the ones deep under the skin.. these are pesky)

This is a good cleanser, but only if you don't have sensitive or dry skin. It tends to cause my face to turn red, burn and get flaky if I use it everywhere, or more than once a day. It's a great spot treatment for me. The best I've found so far. I usually moisturize my face and then spot treat the pimples I am trying to get rid of with Plexion.

Pros:

Great for my skin after years of facial acne. Had a breakout on upper back that I never had before, then I tried Plexion - ALL GONE

Cons:

PRICE without insurance

Incredible but am looking for either generic or a trip to mexico because at $150 I just can't afford to continue it.

Pros:

Product has not only cleared up my acne, but has cleared up the scarring that I've had on my face for years. It only took about 2 weeks to make a noticeable difference.

Cons:

In the beginning of the treatment my face was extremely dry and flaky. I have to keep using it for it to be effective.

This product is highly effective if used consistently and the generic version is very affordable ($10 for a 2-3 month supply). I've been able to toss my makeup because I'm getting so many compliments on my own skin.

Pros:

Nothing else works for my skin. Everytime I use it, my face is flawless. I haven't had insurance in about 7 months so I've been without Plexion for a while. Because of that, my skin has been breaking out. Can't wait until my insurance kicks in!!

Cons:

It's a little pricey and you have to keep using it.

It is an incredible! I use the face wash and a moisterizer in the morning. I think it works well with all types of skin. I have dry skin but it STILL works for me. I've tried other products when I wasn't able to use Plexion and they NEVER WORK. Plexion is the best. I highly recommend this product. It is expensive but...you get what you pay for. It is worth it.

Pros:

It works very well when nothing has work for me in years. I don't have really bad acne but I had tried every product out there perscription pills etc

Cons:

I haven't found any cons I use it every morning

This product worked the best for me out of several and I wouldn't give it up for anything. I am now pregnant and using it less because it hasn't been studied on pregancy yet but I plan to use it again once this is over. I'm also getting married and I couldn't do it without this product.
