Customer Reviews of Neutrogena Complete Acne Therapy System
Customer Review: It Works!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product. I am 40 and my skin leans toward the oily side. My acne seemed to continuously get worse. I have tried almost everything, inclucing seeking the help of a dermatologist. I was very skeptical of this product thought it was for teens, but I am so glad I tried it. The cleanser takes a little getting use to, and so does the consistency of the acne control lotion. Here is a tip especially if you are having a lot of drying. I always add a little water to the acne control lotion it is very thick and this makes it easy to spread a smaller amount over my face without pulling (have to worry about those wrinkles). Don't skip the oil free spf lotion. I use all products morning and night; however there are some nights I use my wrinkle creme instead of the oil free lotion, and I haven't had any problems with that. I never bother reviewing products but this one is definitely one I am promoting, because it really made a huge difference for me. I will use this product forever. It works!!Customer Review: Please don't waste your $!

I purchased this product after a terrible allergic reaction to the new formulation of Acne Free's face wash (red and white scaly, painful, cracked "skin goatee and mustache). First off, I dislike this product very much. AcneFree was very effective in removing the acne, but it just about removed the entire top layer of my facial skin along with it! This Neutrogena line is highly inneffective. The face wash is SO thick, that when you squeeze it into your hands it comes out in a solid ball of product. Rubbing the hands together to liquify it is futile. Secondly, there is a day face lotion. What is the purpose of this? This product contains so little salicylic acid that I could not imagine it drying the skin out. Replace that with a toner, please. Lastly, there is a nighttime treatment. It works a little, and is more convenient than the other products... but I just will not be buying this again. Maybe other products from Neutrogena are great; but this one was a mistake for me to purchase.Customer Review: Didn't work as well as ProActive for me

My acne is not bad. If I stay away from dairy and get enough sleep a usually don't have a problem. Please tell me who gets enough sleep...... Thank you! Even though Proactiv is expensive it does work for me..,. thought I would try cheaper Neutrogena to see if it works, and I have to say it does but not consistently - which is of course the whole point. If I were to go off to a Monastery where red face spots wouldn't matter then I could take this, but Proactiv has a better success rate for me.
The micro-beads in the Neutrogena skin washer are too micro to really do anything for me. Also, with the Proactiv 2nd step - the reactivating toner (really meaningless name) - when used with a cotton swab, actually takes more dirt away from my face even after I've used Proactivs Face cleanser (first step) and it has better microbeads than Neutrogena.
I'd say bottom line Neutrogena better than plain soap, but not a consistent winner for me. Gonna stick w/Proactiv
Customer Review: Amazing!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I started breaking out due to stress, staying up late, etc. during the semester (I'm not 13, I'm 21 just wanted to use the kids review). I ran out of Proactiv and when I started breaking out, I wanted to rush and buy Proactiv but I hesitated because Proactiv is expensive and although it works, I hate that it makes my skin really sensitive and it takes weeks to see results. I saw Neutrogena Advanced Solutions at Target and instead of ordering Proactiv I wanted to try it and plus it's half the price of Proactiv. The label said it works better than Proactiv and it's absolutely true! I saw results overnight after using it. The skin polishing acne cleanser made my face feel soft after washing it. I do have to agree with the other reviewer that the night lotion does make your face feel like a hard mask, but it's because it contains benzoyl peroxide. They give you a SPF 15 lotion so you don't have to buy a face sunscreen. It's a great package and it smells better than Proactiv.Customer Review: Finally acne free!
Summary: 5 Stars
My acne did not start until my 20's. It was concentrated on my forehead and chinline and although it was not severe, I always had at least 1 or two large, painful pimples. No one should have to deal with zits into their late 20s! I tried all the high end products and even other Neutrogena products without positive results. Then I found the Advanced Solutions Complete Acne Therapy System which I bought on a whim because it was on sale. I have used this system everyday for four years and a breakout is now an anomaly and most likely the result of my not using the system for a few days. The face wash always runs out first but as long as I have my day and night creams, I remain breakout free. To address those who complain of dry skin, I only use the day and night creams on my trouble areas (I have combination skin) and I always layer on another moisturizer on top of the system. I will panic if they ever discontinue the system or change it in anyway!
