Customer Reviews of Neutrogena Complete Acne Therapy System
Customer Review: Seriously over-hyped - don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
I've tried them all. Proactiv, Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, Phisoderm, Clinique, other over-the-counter treatments, as well as prescription washes, creams, and pills. I can honestly say this is the WORST one I've ever tried. Seriously disappointed.
I used this religiously for three weeks and my acne has actually gotten worse... not one sign of improvement. And if that isn't enough, the creams are not even comfortable to put on - the night cream being the worst. It's thick and sticky and leaves your face feeling like a dried up raisin. It dries out your face and makes it tight and itchy. Seriously unpleasant. The day cream has an SPF in it, and although that sounds appealing, I feel like all that's in it is sunscreen. It smells like sunscreen and makes my face extremely oily. The general face was is okay but leaves a bit of buildup unless you spend five minutes rinsing.
So please... read all of the reviews here and make the decision for yourself. Everyone's skin is different, but at least take this review under consideration. It's a serious waste of mulah!
Customer Review: Be warned before buying
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Finally cleared adult acne after Rx, Clinique, & Proactiv failed!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been dealing with constant but moderate adult acne since age 23 (I'm now 28). Proactive did not work, it made my skin worse, and an expensive prescription cream made my skin red and peely, and contributed to visable wrinkles due to the drying. Clinique's 3-step made my skin not as bad, but I'd still have zits all over. I've used this system for 1 month, my skin has NEVER been better (even during 'that' time of the month)! This product cleared whiteheads, blackheads, and those awful, deep zits all over my face and neck in 3 days flat without drying my face out. Now, for the first time since I was 19, I'm going without foundation or concealor and spending a lot less time getting ready in the morning. You should shake the face wash every time before using, the beads of exfoliant float to the top of the tube if you store it upright. I only use the wash at night, so as not to over-exfoliate, and Cetaphil in the mornings. The kit should last me 2 months, and all 3 products look like they'll run out at the same time. This system is worth more than $10 a month! Wonderful!Customer Review: So much better than ProActiv!
Summary: 4 Stars
Believe it or not, this product beats ProActiv big time. I didn't think it would since ProActiv is so popular nowadays. I bought ProActiv a while back and it was not a pleasant experience. My skin burned, itched, turned red. And on top of all that, it was abnormally dry [shocking because I've never had dry skin in my life].
I desperately needed something to get rid of my acne [which was located mostly on my forhead area] ... ProActiv was terrible, as I mentioned before. So I decided to buy Neutrogena Advanced Solutions, and this was the best decision ever. I noticed results as soon as 2-3 days. My acne is all gone now.
This is a great product. Since I don't have enough time in my schedule, this product was great. It's only 2 steps, whereas ProActiv was 3. My skin is great right now, I love it!! I totally recommend this product. You may be wondering why I'm giving this 4 stars, the reason is because it DID cause a bit of dry skin, but it is not severe, it went away by itself.
Overall, I'm satisfied.
Customer 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 product
