Give this a try first. August 13, 2010
J. Monroe (Texas)
I have relatively clear skin, but I started breaking out in college. I've never had huge breakouts that covered my entire face in bumps, just spots around my nose, forehead, and chin. I also have hormonal breakouts and the occasional cystic pimple. So I'd recommend this to people with mild to moderate acne and flareups.
I tried this when it first came out because the reviews were so positive, and it worked great for me. Definitely worked better than ProActiv, at a lower price and without the hassle of a monthly bill and getting stuck in an auto-shipment.
It doesn't smell bad- not great, but it doesn't smell like you're putting a ton of acne stuff on your face. And I love the two different lotions you get. The day lotion is great, light, and has SPF. The night lotion is heavier and great at zapping zits. The cleanser is gentle but exfoliating. All together, the system works great.
I do wish the individual lotions/cleanser were sold separately. It's convenient having them all in a kit, but I ran out of everything at different times. I used up the cleanser first, then the day lotion, then the night lotion. But I had to buy a whole new kit and replace everything, so it seemed a little wasteful. Also, like any acne kit, this can be drying, so you may need another moisturizer, especially in the winter.
My skin has calmed down since I first used this, but I'd still recommend this. Try this product first before you call an informercial- of all the acne systems I've used, this one gave me the best results.
 Skin Polishing Face Wash seems to be the CULPRIT August 10, 2010
Kim Joon (Warminster, Pa)
I've used many different kinds of products and systems. Crazy to think how much money I've spent over the years. However, NOTHING was as drying and irritating as this. It felt OK after the first use. After repeated uses however, my face and neck were so dry and irritated it hurt to make facial expressions.
I tried using it just every other day and moisturizing frequently and it helped a little, but the combination of all three products still made my face really uncomfortable.
Eventually I abandoned it and went back to one of my favorite products which is the Neutrogena 2 in 1 blackhead removing pads. They aren't very strong, only 0.5% SA and they're very good at removing dead skin. It helped my skin recover a lot.
I began to think that it wasn't the either the acne lotion or moisturizer that made my skin so dry because i've used 2.5% BP before and it was fine. And well, if a moisturizer is drying, that makes little sense. So I began using the pads instead of the polishing wash and then put the acne control lotion and the moisturizer on after.
Seems to work better. Not nearly as drying. I don't exactly what's in the wash. I've never had such a bad reaction to an SA wash before.
 I can go out without foundation... August 3, 2010

In my mid-30s, I have been experiencing more aggressive acne over the past few years. I seem to find a product that helps, then it goes off the market :( Lately, nothing has been helping. 5 days ago, I did some research online and found, like other reviewers have said, that a combination of Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide seems to provide the best relief. So I went to my local big box store and decided to take a chance on this product... I am SO glad I did!!! Within 2-3 days my active breakouts were significantly healed, including a large cystic breakout that had become quite infected. And I have not noticed any new breakouts since starting to use this product.
Per the packaging, this system "starts clearing breakouts in just 2 days". It claims to work faster than Proactiv, and shows it's effectiveness in clinical trials on the back of the package. It uses a three part system: step 1 - skin polishing acne cleanser with 0.5% salicylic acid and microfine exfoliating beads; step 2 - acne control lotion with prescription-grade benzoyl peroxide; step 3 - oil-free SPF 15 lotion with calming botanical complex. Although it doesn't mention it anywhere else on the package, under the cleanser directions, it does mention that the product contains AHA (an alpha hydroxy acid) in case you are sensitive to that.
I LOVE how simple this kit is. I am not one to wash, tone, etc. etc. etc. I simply wash my face at night with the Skin Polishing Acne Cleanser, followed by the Overnight Acne Control Lotion. Whenever I try to wash my face twice a day, it increases breakouts, so I didn't even try with this. In the morning, I put Neutrogena's Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment, Vanishing Formula, 0.75 oz (21 g) on any remaining breakout spots, and follow with the Sun Shield Day Lotion from the kit, then apply my typically minimal makeup. I was even tempted to leave the house this morning without having applied my makeup, my skin is so clear! I am so happy to have gotten this kit, and I hope it remains on the market! My kit even contained a $4 coupon off my next kit purchase.
 Be warned before buying July 19, 2010

I don't have acne all of the time. There are times where my skin is clear. But when I do breakout, usually before my menstrual cycle, I break out pretty badly. I get these big, under the skin type of pimples, especially on my chin. I had broken out pretty badly a week and a half before my brother's wedding and I bought this product hoping it would work as fast as it said it would. I used this product for one week. That is all I could handle. It literally hurt to wash my face with this product. For days I could not even touch the skin on my face, it hurt that bad. It made my skin raw. Here I was with a bad breakout right before a wedding I was to be a bride's maid in and be photographed, and for days before the wedding I could not stand to wash my face at all. This product is a little on the pricey side and I had to throw it out. I flushed about $25 down the toilet.
I'm really surprised that this product received as many good reviews as it did. This product may very well work on some skin types. But if you have sensitive skin, do not use this product.
Terrible! Don't waste your money! June 4, 2010
S. Butler
I had moderate acne on my chin forehead and nose area. With Neutrogena's background, I though my acne days were over but the whole thing backfired! Day 1 and 2 were nice, my skin seemed to be clearing but the next morning, my entire face was covered in pimples. Hoping this was just the middle phase and that after this terrible ordeal was over, I'd finally have clear skin. But no. It only continued to get worse and worse. This was a terrible product. Now, I'm dreaming of the way my skin was before I started. Complete waste of time and money.
