Customer Reviews of Neutrogena Complete Acne Therapy System
Customer Review: Actually clears acne
Summary: 4 Stars
Umm..best product for acne clearing!
I seriously tried EVERYTHING..probably 50..ask my mom..LOL..including proactive..which is possibly the worst acne medication..due to the OVERDOSE on benzyol peroxide! Benzoyl peroxide makes yoru face EXTREMELY DRY and by puttin it on DAY AND NIGHT..your skin will barely be able to move!
Nuetrogena gives a perfect balance of both sacylic(sp??) acid and benzoyl peroxide. In the morning you treat your face with the sacylic acid which helps prepare your skin for the benzyol peroxide you put on at night! My skin cleared up completely in about a month!
Umm...the one thing a suggest is that you use a ACNE mask like "Queen helen mint julep mask" (sold at your nearest beauty supply store for 5 bucks) because the neutrogena system (like every other acne product) is not PERECT..it needs a little help. The mint julep mask should replace the benzoyl peroxide gel and be put on once a week OVERNIGHT on the face..and washed off once awake. If little pimples do come up..you can use spot treatment with the mask OVERNIGHT and wash it off in the morning! But ALWAYS use the mask on the ENTIRE face overnight ONCE a week..and spot treatment if necessary during the week...
Great product tho..wouldn't trade it! The sunscreen moisturizer is awesome..smells great. THe skin polisher smels great and feeels and looks like it does polish your skin. GREAT SYSTEM all together.
Customer Review: Works great for me
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, I understand that not every product will work for every individual. But, this one is far exceeding my expectations. I did some research online before I bought this. What I found was that what seemed to work the best for people was a combination of salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. I looked at the wide array of acne treatments I had at home and they were ALL salicylic acid, but no benzoyl peroxide. I thought it was worth a shot.
I'm 35 and acne runs in my family. My mom still has it. I was starting to develop very deep, painful acne that would heal in one place and then show up in another place. Nothing I was doing was getting rid of it. I found this Neutrogena system and I noticed some improvement the very next day. I'm a little over a week into it now and I can't believe the improvement! I'm going to recommend this product to anyone I know who battles with acne, like I did.
Realistically, I know I'll probably still have the occasional breakout. But this worked wonders on the constant problems I was experiencing before. One of the things I REALLY like about this, is it's only 2 steps. Wash and moisturize/protect. I don't have the time or the patience for a whole routine with various products. I love that I just have to wash and apply cream. Overall I think this is a wonderful product and half the price of Proactiv (which I understand is a 3 step process anyway).
Customer Review: the best acne solution out there
Summary: 5 Stars
I had no problems with acne until I was about 18. Now I'm 22, and have had embarrassing acne since. It made me feel self-conscious all the time, whether it was at work, at college, or at parties. I hated it whenever my boyfriend got close to my face.
I tried every product I could afford and visited a dermatologist several times. I've tried creams, overnight gels, face washes, antibiotic pills, you name it. The treatments I tried either did nothing significant or made my skin very irritated and worsened the condition. I have very sensitive skin so I couldn't use most of the treatments prescribed to me from the dermatologist.
I had finally given up and told myself I would just have to settle with having bad skin. I felt totally helpless.
My mom ended up sending me this product, which I was embarrassed about at first. But let me tell you, I can't thank her enough because I've used this system for about a month now and I am basically a new person. My skin is completely clear like it hasn't been for years. I've experiences NO irritation whatsoever. I can't say what it does in the long run, but so far it has worked wonders. I get comments all the time from friends and family on how good my skin looks. In just 2 days my skin felt and looked better, and now I don't even have to wear makeup. I'm so much more confident.
I highly recommend this system!
Customer Review: Wow! It really does work!

I am in my 30's and have adult onset acne. I have been using a prescription
Retin A and prescription bleaching cream (for the red scars) for the past 2 years. They have helped some, but recently my face broke out severely, even while using the Rx products. I was about to order Proactive, but decided to pick up this Neutrogena system at the local drug store because I wanted help NOW! I could tell a difference on the second morning! Not huge, but progress. By morning three, my face was tremendously better and i noticed that there were NO new knots brewing. I am a little flaky in places, but i'll just pump up the moisturizer a little tomorrow. DEFINATELY worth it for a quick fix.
....
I now have been using this product for 2 months. I love it. I have even been through 2 "cycles" and didn't have the usual outburst of acne that normally comes a week prior to the event. My face is more clear than it's been in years. I must warn you that this product will bleach! My pillow cases are all ruined, but it's well worth it! Just use an old pillow case or buy white!
This one kit has lasted me for 2 months and I still have some left. I have used it every day, twice a day with very few exceptions. I think it will get me through a 3rd month before I have to purchase again. I will DEFINATELY buy this again!
Customer Review: Works very well for me, *personally*
Summary: 5 Stars
First off, I'm in my early 20's and have combination type skin with occasional, mild to moderate acne. I used nearly two whole ProActiv systems before switching to a Neutrogena kit and have found that this clears up my skin much better and faster. I find it very convenient that the Day Lotion includes SPF 15, whereas the ProActiv Repairing Lotion doesn't, even though ProActiv advises you to use sunscreen with their system when going outside. That would probably prompt you to buy their oil-free moisturizer with SPF 15 as well ($$ smart business move $$), thus adding another step to your skin-care regimen. I would recommend anyone with my acne/skin type who is thinking about subscribing to ProActiv to try Neutrogena first.
Anyway, the Neutrogena kit lasts around 5 months for me. I still get an occasional zit or two, but with less frequency than I did in the past. I use a Neutrogena Rapid Clear spot gel for that with success.
Word of advice: It might be best if you shake the tube of acne cleanser before you start using it. When I was finishing up what was left of the last tube I used, I discovered that all the "micro-fine beads" were gathered there, afloat at the very top somehow. I've been wondering where those were all along...
