I have been using this Neutrogena Acne Kit for approximately one year now, and I am VERY impressed with it!! Unlike a few other reviewers, my skin has not grown immune to the products contained in the kit. Instead, the products have gradually improved my skin over the past year - a definite plus.
I am a female in my 30s, but I developed severe acne as a teen. In my 20s, the acne diminished after a course of Accutane, but unfortunately, it returned a few years later. Thankfully, it wasn't as severe though. I still battled constant breakouts, and my regimen of Stridex pads and Clearasil just wasn't cutting the cake. I tried ProActiv, but that only worked for a few months. I struggled with acne problems up until about a year ago, which is when I discovered this product.
The cleaner in this kit can dry the skin out, so it is very important to use the moisturizer in the kit religiously. In fact, the moisturizer in this kit is the only one that my face has been able to tolerate. (Every other moisturizer has made my face break out more.) A huge bonus is the fact that the moisturizer contains SPF 15 for sun protection.
My only small gripe is the fact that the night cream tube, which contains 2.5% benozyl peroxide, is too small. Because of this, I often run out of the night cream before the other products. I have discovered, however, that Neutrogena makes a similar product that contains 2.5 % benzoyl peroxide, so I use that until I need to purchase the entire kit again.
One year after using this product, my skin is much clearer, and amazingly, the deep acne scars that developed during my teenage years are slowly beginning to fade. Occasionally, I still deal with a pimple, so don't expect to be completely acne free while using this product. But, the pimples are much smaller, and usually, I just get one per month. Also, they quickly respond to a dab of additional benzoyl peroxide.
I highly recommend that you give this a try.

I bought this product after having inflamed/pus filled acne show up on my cheeks. After only 2 days of using the product, my husband and I have noticed the redness decreasing and the bumbs slowly disappearing. Some of the best advice I can give to folks is to be VERY aware of where you put the product and how to best use the product. First, make sure when you first start using it, that you only put the product on the acne you already have (in my case, I only use all 3 of the products on my cheeks). When I got it near my forehead and near my eyes, it completely dried me out. The second thing to keep in mind is in regards to the night-time cream you wear. My rule of thumb is to let the night cream be the only thing on my face for about 20 minutes, and then I put on some sort of moisturizer. I have found that the night medication is VERY drying, and 20 minutes is long enough to let it soak in and follow it with a moisturizer. FYI: The use of moisturizer has not affected how this product works:) THANK YOU NEUTROGENA!!!!!!!!

      Comments about Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Complete Acne Therapy System, 1 ea:

      I've been using this set for two months. I use the product according to package directions, twice a day, and not only am I not seeing a reduction in breakouts, it's actually making me break out more! The cleanser never feels like it rinses cleanly, and is slightly gritty in texture. The acne lotion is very thick, more of a paste consistency than a lotion, and is difficult to spread. The only thing I like in this set is the spf 15 moisturizer. It works really well. Also, I think the containers should be improved. They aren't very stable, and they get knocked over a lot. Also, using a screw off cap in the shower is a little tricky. I'm sure this product works for some, but it just doesn't do anything good for my skin (I have combination, oily, acne prone skin).

        Used as directed, keeping away from the eye area. Did clear up problems fast and gave skin a great glow, however, even though I was careful not to apply any where near my eye, my eyes became so inflamed and red. As soon as I discontinued use, my eyes cleared up and my acne returned. I wish they could resolve this issue... Great moisturizer!

        I am afraid to stop using it >< . I've been using it regularly for about a year and hardly ever get any acne anymore, when before I broke out regularly. The daytime moisturizer is the best: not greasy, dries fast, nice scent. And I love the nighttime cream even more: it is magical.

            Unlike other 3-step acne products I've tried, this one doesn't dry out my face. It also has a more pleasant smell - very clean, fresh. It may bleach some fabrics, but no more than the other products I've used (mostly happens on towels and pillow cases).

              The moisturizers works really well, treats your skin at night then same thing during the day, much better it has SPF, which i've been looking for in a moisturizer. I only wish you could buy them seperately coz my skin seems to get irritated w/ the cleanser, that's the only one problem. Dries my skin bad.

                I used the product daily for over two weeks now and since I have developed more acne than I ever had before. It feels fine on my skin but is not helping prevent acne at all, if not making it worse!

                Comments about Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Complete Acne Therapy System, 1 ea:

                Pretty good bang for your buck. I have mild acne with the occasional severe breakout and for the past few weeks my skin has been a bit out of control so I tried this.

                There is nothing special about the cleanser; it works about as well as most salicylic acid acne washes. I only used it for the first day. I continued to use the two lotions with my normal face wash after that. I've only been using it for 4 days and my skin is almost completely clear. If your skin is already on the dry side like mine it will probably burn a little and make it more dry so you may want to just use it every other day. The benzoyl peroxide lotion did a really good job of clearing my clogged pores & blackheads I have on my nose & chin in only 2 days. The other lotion is ok, doesn't hydrate too well but feels nice on the skin and has SPF in it.

                Not sure if you can buy the lotions separately but I probably would buy them again since I already have a cleanser I like.
