| Pros | I think it works well if it is used consistently. |
|---|---|
| Cons | no big difference if it is not used on a regular basis |
| Bottom line | Eat food that doesn't aggrivate your skin. wheat (grains in general), dairy, sugar, soy, corn. I promise if you do a diet and eliminate theses foods.....then gradually add them back in you will find out that you have food sensitivities or yeast that show up all over your face. I have been told this for years by my mom - who I thought was a health nut. It is hard to do and takes a real commitment but well worth it after 25 years of adult acne! Add the doctors will tell you that foods don't matter.....test my theory. |

| Pros | Reduces acne, oil production, and swelling from acne. Also smoothes skin and improves the complexion. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Takes months to see results. Using too much product can flake and dry out the skin. |
| Bottom line | If you are patient and use a small amount of product regularly, you’ll get great results. If you're like me, you'll need to adjust how much you use depending on the season (in warmer seasons, I need a little more and in colder seasons, less). I've be using this for years. When I stopped using it for a while, my skin didn't immediately worsen, but after a few months it gradually got worse (more pimples and I lost that "lit-from-within" look from a good complexion). As soon as I saw this, I got back on it and, after a few months, my skin improved. This is definitely something I'll use for the long term. |

| Pros | none |
|---|---|
| Cons | I went to the dermatologist for my acne and he gave me a little sample tube of differin 0.3. My skin became dry and peely after a couple of days... |
| Bottom line | My skin became very very dry and was flaking off. Even made me have big red splotches on my face... used it for about 2 weeks but i couldn't stand it anymore! Went back to the dermatologist and he gave me Retin-A. Been using that for about a week and my skin is much better! :) |

| Pros | worth the price if you have the coverage acne cleared up a little bit kinda smooth my acne into my skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | it really didn't work that as they claim doctor said it would take to months for it to work... I have been using it since July or early August |
| Bottom line | This product Differin which i use at night and in the morning Aczone and also the use of some meds. I have been using Proactiv for about 2 1/2 years and went to a Dermatologist for about a year now she prescribe me this stuff. It is not bad but I felt it didn't work for me. Some of the reviews said it did work for them but not for me. Not a bad product but I really didn't like. (Also I think it was like 30.00 or 25.00 dollars with the discount card, can't really remember) |

| Pros | Differin has worked well on my skin so far. I've used it for 2 weeks and its made my skin much more acne resistent. I don't break out when I shave anymore and I havent noticed many new pimples. At this rate, I should be clear in 2 weeks |
|---|---|
| Cons | None yet. really easy to use. (not a con) |
| Bottom line | its easy to use. its powerful. |

| Pros | Slowly and gradually clears acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | Drys the skin and does not clear big spots |
| Bottom line | Keep at it, it will eventually clear it up, but it will dry the skin out. After it has soaked in, moisturise with a oil free moisturiser. |

| Pros | Cleared my skin of acne. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Made my skin exceptionally dry and flaky. |
| Bottom line | I made it through my adolescence free of acne but that soon changed when I turned 22. My acne was still mild even on its worst days but something still had to be done. Against my mothers better judgment I refused to go to the dermatologist and ordered IQ Derma. Worst decision I've ever made. Prior to using IQ Derma my acne was localized on my forehead but after about a week of use the acne spread to my cheeks. I admitted defeat and went to the dermatologist and he prescribed Differin 0.3% to be used twice daily, Zoderm Hydrating Wash 5.75% Benzoyl Peroxide, and an antibiotic. I'm not taking the antibiotic for personal obligations but the Differin and Zoderm have been working beautifully. I was a bit hesitant using the Differin and Zoderm in combination because my skin is dry but a non-comedogenic moisturizer applied multiple times a day helps. To all those who feel like giving up and trying something new don't, good things happen immediately, great things happen over time. |

| Pros | I don't really have acne but whenever i get pimples it DOES go away right away. My sister did have severe acne and this product was the only thing that worked on her as well. |
|---|---|
| Cons | none. |
| Bottom line | USE A LITTLE BIT! If you put a blob thinking its gonna work faster, it does the complete opposite. It doesnt work that way. Just use a little bit where needed. |

| Pros | NOTHING!!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | My skin is turning into a slab of pepperoni pizza being pulled out of an oven at your local Pizza Hut. I've been using it for one month and my skin is breaking out like crazy. My old acne has been lost in a sea of beautiful new red bumps. Which ma |
| Bottom line | I guess I'll keep slapping it on every night. Hopefully things will get better during the next two months. Thank God I'm not still in high school, then this would REALLY suck!!! |
