Product Reviews of Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Complete Acne Therapy System
Product Review: Better than Proactive and ALL of the prescriptions I've tried...
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm 29 and NEVER even had so much as a tiny pimple anywhere...until I got pregnant. My daughter is now 3 and I've been struggling with acne ever since. I get large, deep, cystic acne on my chin and sometimes on my forehead, and tiny, puss filled pimples on my neck, chest and back. I have tried Proactive for months on end with far less results than were worth the time and effort of all the steps involved (and the price). I have tried a variety of precriptions for washes and ointments/foams/creams from my dermatologist including Benzaclyin, Evoclin, Tazarac Cream, Clenia, and Zyiana. Some dried my skin out so badly that it actually cracked and was very painful, some didn't dry the pimples out enough, and some would clear up breakouts, but not prevent future outbreaks. None of them came with a moisturizer, so I never knew how to fight off the dryness. I was always afraid that using a drugstore moisturizer would defeat the effects of the meds by clogging my pores and causing more breakouts, so I'd just suffer with uncomfortable and ugly flaking skin in hopes that the acne would atleast stop. No such luck.
I have been using the Neutrogena system for about 2 weeks, and I can confidently say that this is going to be the LAST acne regimin I will ever follow again. When I bought the set at Target, it came with a free bottle of the spot treatment, which I think is vital to the success of this system. Within a few days, I noticed that the tiny pimples on my chest were drying out and no new pimples were forming anywhere. Now, almost all of the pimples - even the deep ones on my chin - are either gone, or DRAMITICALLY reduced. I will also add that I started this system about 12 days before I expected my period knowing that the worst pimples of the month were on their way. I did experience a bit of drying, but nothing that was at all painful or really red and irritated. The best thing about this system is that it comes with a daytime moisturizer, so your skin will never be cracking and flaking the way it would with other treatements. The slight drying was actually beneficial for me because I have olive skin, and I get hyperpigmentation (dark marks) where pimples were. They normally take several weeks to fade, but the drying effect of the nightime acne lotion helped to really exfoliate those spots and the result has been a dramatic lightening of those marks.
I would definately recommend giving this system a try. Get the spot treatment as well. I started out using the wash and night time acne lotion as well as the spot treatment at night, and then the wash and moisturizer during the day. Now that most of the pimples have cleared up, I'm not using the spot treatment. There are so few steps to this system - it's not time consuming or tedius to keep up with. It's affordable (the bottles are large enough to last over a month even if you're using them on your back, chest and face as I am), it's quick, easy, and most of all, effective.
Product Review: Works, but takes some time
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this product after I had my first child in January and proceeded to break out like I never had before! Proactiv was more expensive, and three steps seemed like alot, and I have trusted neutrogena in the past. The night cream is very strong, and does dry out your skin a lot at first, but this improves with time. My skin improved within a week, but it took about a month for the acne to clear up completely, but now I just get an occasional pimple along my jawline (the problem area to begin with). I like the day lotion with SPF very much, since I never remember to apply sun protection. It's also a very easy regimen to follow. I purchase masks from other sources to use once in a while, when I remember. My skin has gotten somewhat softer with the use of this product as well. I would definitely recommend it. I have very sensitive skin (I get scars from everything!), and while the night cream is drying, I worked my way up to every day application gradually, and now I don't have any problems. Nice productProduct Review: AMAZING!!

I am not normally a person to write reviews but when I come across products that really work I have to share the news.
I am 26 years old and have struggled with mild acne for the past 14 years. I've been to the dermatologist and I've tried Proactiv, Murad and pretty much anything I could get my hands on.
This product really worked. I use the system faithfully and for the first time in my adult life I have really clear skin. All three products did dry me out at first so I didn't use the night cream every time. Now I have no problems at all with my skin. I couldn't be happier.
Product Review: Not for people with sensitive skin!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
I have always loved Neutrogena products, so I thought this one would be no different. Boy, was I wrong! After only 2 uses my face, especially my chin and jawline, is completely dried out and itches like crazy. I didn't even realize my skin was sensitive until I used this product. Product Review: Did not clear up acne, harsh on skin...
Summary: 1 Stars
I used this product for over a month it did not clear up acne, seemed to for the first week then skin just got worse and worse. It was also really harsh on my skin, dried out areas especially around nose. I love Neutrogena products, but this one just did not work for me...
