Cleared skin/ acne up!

I use this product 1-2 times a Day morning and bed time, it took about a week, but then I really started to notice a difference with it clearing my acne up. Plus it's light weight and very easy to use.

I will NEVER buy this product again.

For the past five years I have been using the same proactive skincare routine and the past six months or so I have noticed it just does not really do much for me so I have been slowly experimenting with other options and things weren't going anywhere with those either s...

I had very bad acne and got recommended this whole set by an ulta employee. I replaced the cleanser for the foam pore cleanser due to the fact I already had a lot of active ingredients in my new skincare, and in 1 month with being consistent, my acne cleared so fast! I had a few acne scars but other than that, so far the best to clear acne!

This kit is such a great value for the money spent. It isn't drying on the skin or very rough either. My skin responds well to salicylic acid and this is pretty gentle and really does clear out excess oil. It's great as well if you just want to try it out because the bottles are mini, but pack a lot of product in.

I brought this product for my teenage niece, and she loves it. Her skin looks great and very clear and soft looking and feel. I would recommend this for young skin. You should learn how to take care of your skin early.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
