Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Cons:
The price is abit too much. £30 for the set of 3- cleanser, clarifying lotion and moisturiser. Not usual sizes either. At first it smarted my skin so just used the clarifying lotion once a day- now i use it twice.
The price is an issue, but money well spent. I haven't been so confident about my skin in years. It's less red and feels great. If I don't use it, my skin feels greasy. When I use it, it feels like my skin is really, really clean!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
seems to work
Cons:
small bottles, expensive products!
Ok so I bought the 3 steps today. I used everything on the planet, including Accutane which was hard because of the side effects.
I was until this morning using the 3 step from Clinique and I didn't feel the mousse cleanser actually cleaned and the moisturizer didnt moisturize either. But remember acne has a lot of origins, my dad is over 5O and has had acne for 35years! And I don't understand people that use it for 7days and say it doesn't work!
people give time to time! i mean it's like a diet: do you really think you can lose 4pounds in 7days? its the same for new products you use! your skin just has to get used to react in a positive way. and there also are a lot of circumstances that can get to breakouts: stress,humidity,bad and fat food..Same for people that use it from time to time or complain it takes too much time! how do you expect the products to work if you only do half of the required steps?!
Proactiv works but it's not magical: you gotta work on it to!

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
control oil, makes my skin smooth
Cons:
twice daily dried my skin...
The first week I started using this product it dried my skin. My skin felt tight and itchy. I went back at Clinique and ask them for a moisturizer that would work well with the kit and they gave me Moisture Surge which is a gel that not oily at all. Since then I've been using it twice a day with no problem and up to know it help alot even though it did not clear it all. I've only been using it for 3-4 weeks now wo i'll give it more time.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
worked for a while!
Cons:
stopped working, dryness, itchyness, eventually made my skin more oily
eh if you acne is very moderate it may work
October 5, 2008
Pros:
Cleared my acne, left my skin supersoft, easy to use
Cons:
Makes my eyes water.
This product WORKS. It cleared my acne in about a week, left my skin really soft, and it got me though my period without a single bump. It's super affordable, and whenever people compliment my skin, I tell them to use Nature's Cure. The only bad thing is that it makes my eyes water, but a small price to pay for such awesome skin.

What enticed me to try their products? 1.Natural ingredients 2.Inexpensive 3.100% guarantee 4. Great testimonials 5.One s&h price for purchases 6.Generous sizes. My skin is now clear~reduced pores~velvety smooth! LOVE IT!! RECOMMEND!!
Cons:
ABSOLUTELY NONE!!
I WAS a very frustrated 50 yr. old menopausal~acne proned~oily~flakey~& sensitive skinned woman. I was desparetly researching products & came across "clearandsmooth" on ebay & I'm so thrilled that I did! Why do I continue using their products? RESULTS!! THEY WORK!! And that's all I really care about. I feel that if you're really concerned & upset about your complexion as I was, that you will take the extra time everyday to devote to cleansing your face & giving the products a FAIR chance to work. I don't know these wonderful people from adam, but I so appreciate the time & effort they've made to create & provide excellant products for hurting people! I urge you to just PLEASE give them a try! All you can lose is ACNE!!~~Betty :)
