Acne thrapy system

I thought I'd give this is a shot in place of proactive due to the cost. Well I have to say I prefer my proactive. This product left my skin dry. I have sensitive skin and I think this product was a tad strong for my skin type.

unhappy

I have used proactiv for 5 years and when i purchased this i was hoping it would be a less expensive way to continue to control my acne. I actually liked the smell of the cleanser and the lotions but thats all the good i have to say about this product. it dried out my skin so bad that my own moisturizers couldn't keep it from flaking my skin!

decent cleanser, disappointing lotions

over the past 10 years I have tried EVERYTHING to treat my moderate acne and this system is, in my opinion, one of the worst... I had hoped it would be a more convenient, less expensive version of Proactiv but I was very disappointed... the cleanser was nice... it is a .5% salicylic acid "polishing" scrub and I actually considered repurchasing the entire kit just for the cleanser... the...read more "acne control lotion" is a 2. 5% benzoyl peroxide lotion (same percentage as Proactiv) but it was super sticky and I didn't feel it ever "sank in" properly... the SPF15 lotion that comes with it was okay.. it didn't cause further breakouts but it didn't moisturize very well either.. I had to use Cetaphil moisturizer on top of it... Perhaps my least favorite part of the system is that it is lacking a toner. I only had the patience to stick with this system for about 3 weeks, but I saw no improvement in my acne and my dry skin was EXTRA flaky :( I have to add, though, that I have a friend with oily skin and mild acne and she swears by this system...

Horrible!

This acne treatment has been by far the WORST! The cleanser was okay, but I don't think it cleansed deep down and it was really drying. The acne lotion makes my skin tight and gave me a chemical burn! My face was flaky, just gross. I think the only good thing about this was the oil-free spf 15 sunblock, but even then. I would never recommend this.
