Customer Reviews of Neutrogena Complete Acne Therapy System
Customer Review: Good stuff for a girl on a budget.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this product to treat my adult acne for about a year. It works better than Proactiv and better than the Philosophy salicylic acid regimen and it's much less expensive. The SPF 15 in the moisturizer is nice, too.
Though I haven't had perfect, miraculous results with the Neutrogena kit, I've been better able to control my acne with this than anything else I've tried. I've found my skin to be smoother, I have less redness and fewer pimples. The blemishes I do get seem to be smaller and fade faster and my skin seems less oily.
I also like that it's only two steps, twice a day. As a busy mom I really appreciate being able to do my entire skincare regimen in less than four minutes.
The only reason I gave this product four stars instead of five is because it didn't completely clear up my acne. But I'm starting to think that's not going to happen without the help of a dermatologist.
Customer Review: first time reviewer
Summary: 4 Stars
Was looking around for some additional acne products because I like using new products and seeing how my skin reacts to them. Still trying to clear some minor acne around my chin area (like two pimples and a little scarring) so I wasn't too impressed about that. However I have to say...it did pretty well in terms of preventing new acne from forming, which you all know, is very annoying. I've slept about 5 hours two nights in a row this past week and my skin generally looks and feels pretty gross when I wake up (sleep-deprived and not so rosy). I'm a huge fan of Neutrogena products anyway so I wasn't disappointed. There are other products out there that have had much better results, but in terms of reducing acne/preventing new ones from forming, this product works pretty quickly. So yes, I would totally recommend! P.S. Even though this doesn't allow for the 1/2 star option but I'm still going to give it 4.5 stars.Customer Review: Pretty Impressed
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a 29 year old female and have had pretty good skin - up until about a year ago. Then my skin started to break out, not just in the normal spot like my chin but now on my cheeks. I tried everything, and even broke out $159 on a Zeno (which does NOT work). I was getting desperate and bought this system at Wal-Mart about 3 weeks ago. And what do you know - my skin is almost 100% clear. It did take 2 weeks for it to fully work and be effective but now my skin looks pretty darn good. And I have not experienced the extreme dryness like others. There has been some dryness but if you use a washcloth it takes it away with no issue. I highly recommend this product - especially because its much more cost effective when compared to Proactiv or other types of acne products. I gave it 4 out of 5 because it did take 2 weeks to start working. Other than that I am a very happy customer and will continue to use this product.Customer Review: Giving up on it...
Summary: 3 Stars
After reading many favorable reviews of this system from several different sites, I definitely had my hopes up. Unfortunately, this system has made my acne worse somehow. Part of it I think is that the face wash does not exfoliate my skin enough. I have had much better luck with washes that have a bit more scrub to them, like Clearasil Ultra.
The overnight lotion works pretty well at reducing pimple swelling. Some nights I would put it on and the pimple would be nearly gone the next morning. However, this lotion is very thick, which isn't bad, BUT...the one tube of it does not last as long as the day lotion or the facewash.
The day lotion is nice, keeps my skin from getting greasy for quite a while.
3 stars instead of 2 or 1...because using the system makes the pimples last not as long, but it doesn't do much (for me at least) for preventing them in the first place.
Customer Review: Very Pleasantly Surprised
Summary: 5 Stars
I was skeptical at first if this product line would really do the job the same or better than Proactive. The amounts of medication used are less than what's contained in the "extra strength" Proactive I'd been using, but which left me with skin so dry I would only apply once a day.
I'm really happy I decided to purchase this line when I saw it in the store (convenient and half the price). The cleanser is where you get the salicylic acid and very small gentle beads, the night lotion is where you get the benzoyl peroxide, and the day lotion is included for a nice oil-free spf 15 moisturizer.
The overall results are much better than my old regimen. I have clearer skin with much less drying, and I don't have to go through the extra steps of applying an added moisturizer and sunscreen like I used to. I recommend this gentle and effective product, great all-around.
