Pros:

Does not make skin feel irritated. Like the earthy smell. Feels lightweight.

Cons:

Pads can feel harsh on severe acne. Price is expensive.

I have been using this line for about 3 weeks now. I am still not sure how I feel about it as I feel as my acne is getting worse. I was an avid user of Proactiv. As I wanted to try something that would control my oily skin I opted to try this line. First week was great as my skin was not as oily. Second week I started to get more breakouts than usual. Third week I noticed my pores getting smaller but acne was still getting worse. They say it takes at least 4 weeks to get true results so I am not giving up on this product just yet. If my acne clears up within 6-8 weeks I will approve this product.

Pros:

Smells really good and it is not harsh on your skin.

Cons:

It does not work. Since I started to use this product it seems I breakout more often than usual

Really expensive and not worth it. I just asked to get my money back

Pros:

Gentle, smells good, the mask it came with had immediate results with red spots.

Cons:

Did not clear up my face, at some points throughout the 3 months my face got worse. Very expensive.

I would not suggest this product. It is expensive and did not work as advertised. I used it consistently for 3 months with no results.

Pros:

Great lotion with the kit, smells good, leaves your face feeling great, doesn't dry it out

Cons:

Expensive, does not foam up really great, runs out quickly, seems like I have more acne now.
I will continue to use the lotion, it is the best mosturizer I've found on the market.

I've been using this kit for 3 months now, and have not noticed a huge difference. I have adult acne, and before just a problem area on my chin. Now I have acne all along my jaw line that was not there before.

Pros:

none

Cons:

ive been using the products for about a month now. I had a normal acne problem when i started using it, but around the third week I started to see rashes on my forehead, which then i realised its very likely to be rosacea. Expensive trash !

If youre planning to buy it, dont. If you already have it, read my comment above !!

Pros:

Smells good.

Cons:

I have very mild acne problems, so mild I wouldn't technically consider it acne, just occasional pimples. I started using the Outer Peace line about 3 months ago and my skin has actually gotten slightly worse. I have had at least one pimple since I have been using it. I am switching to Exposed Skin Care line.

It is too expensive and I do not think it works well for acne.
