        Untouchable system used Pro Active for about 4 years give or take some and as an adult now i have found that Neutrogena Complete Acne Therapy System is just amazing. I have found that the Acne Loation you can use more or less on certian days that you know are more of the sweet/or your prone day's that you know will cause little pop-ups. I use very very little if any of the lotion, its more of a just in case. Face wash is outstanding!!!

        I was excited to try this system, because of the great reviews I saw everywhere and it definitely did not do anything good for my skin. It actually made my skin worse! I have sensitive skin so I only used it once a day and the acne cream at night after my skin began to become noticeably dry. I kept using it for about a month longer and I began getting much more breakouts everywhere on my skin and began peeling!!! It was such a bad reaction to my skin that I went back to return it! I really want ed to like this product but it really wasn't made for my skin, it was waaaaayyyy too harsh.

        BEST for adult combination skin with acneI am one of those lucky folks who rarely experienced acne in my teens, only to have adult onset acne that I've been battling ever since. Not so bad as to need dermatological intervention, but bad enough to be embarrassing. Of all the products I've tried, this is the only set that really takes care of my skin, and I have been using it for about 7 years.

        I've used ...., etc over the years. This is by far the most gentle and effective treatment I have used and I am very happy with the results! It has a fresh clean scent and the polishing cream leaves my skin clear and soft. Using the acne treatment twice a day causes a bit of dryness though the lotion helps with that. I've noticed my complexion is a more even as well so that's a plus!

        It really works. My skin is clearer, smoother & softer. Though, I did find it dried out my skin a little too much initially. Once I got used to it & adjusted the amount I was using, this wasn't an issue any more. I am very happy with this product & would highly recommend trying it.

        Cleared up acne quick and left my face smooth. The key is consistency. I've been using it for about 6 months and the initial drying out has passed. Definitely the best face wash I've ever used!

        It does leave your skin a bit dry, so I'm only using the product once a day. I also use a second moisturizer because my skin got a little flaky. Other than that it actually works. I started with 10 zits, and in only 3 days I was down to 5 and after 1 week, I now only have 2. I still get small breakouts, but they go away the next day. Also, my skin-tone was a bit uneven before I used this product. Only after a couple days I was back to normal. I definitely recommend this product, but use a secon d moisturizer ontop it all.

        I personally think this product is great. The second day of use redness was gone and acne stopped appearing. That is the quickest I seen anything work. I hear some reviews saying it burned there skin. SO what this means is that your probably allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide. This product is gentle and I have very sensitive skin. If your skin feels a lil irritated then try using the night cream every other day. I am usually unable to use moisturizers because they all break my skin out but this one i s awsome. It not only moisturizes it helps calm the redness and irritation. So if you uses this use the moisturizer because it is part of what helps sooth any irritation. I also use the Neutrogena acne mask, that is great also. Again it has Benzoyl peroxide in it so if your allergic do not use. I use it 1-2 times a week just to keep my skin completely clear. So I think it is definitely worth trying for $... is a great buy.

        You just have to make sure that you are precise & using it correctly. If you don't, it can end up making your acne worse. Use the face cleanser under lukewarm water! Too hot or too cold water can take away the moisture in your skin. Don't use too much. Squeeze it on your hands and GENTLY Massage it on your face! Don't be harsh on it! After cleanse it with water. Don't scrub your face but gently wet it until it has completely washed off. Now the Lotion you have to be careful with. Don't appl y it on non-affected areas of your face because it can severely dry out that area and possibly can cause acne there. (Personal experience) Apply a Thin layer on the affected area of the skin. Don't use too much. Only a little bit and that's it. I recommend it to use it only once per day, in the afternoon or evening. Sure, you can use the sunblock, but it didn't work for me, so I only used the face cleanser and lotion itself. After, leave it on for a while, then wash it off using a non scented moisturizing soap. After, PAT the skin dry. Same goes for after using the cleanser. Wiping will take away moisture from your skin. When dry, apply lotion that moisturizes your skin. Even if you have dry or oily skin, keep on moisturizing because benzoyl peroxide can really dry your skin up. Before when I first got the product, I wasn't using it correctly and made my acne worse. I stopped then went back to it because soap and water didn't completely get rid of it. Now it works wonders for me and purchase a set every 2 months or so. (by the way, once your acne has cleared up using this, only use the facial cleanser itself to prevent new acne from coming) I know it takes up a lot of work to achieve it but trust me, it's all worth it in the end.
