Pros: Made my skin very soft and smooth. Helped with many of my pimples after about 2 weeks or so.
Cons: A few came back in week 3 but still much better than before.
Bottom Line: I think that this is a pretty good product. The nice thing is that it did not dry my skin out like some others do.

Pros: for little
Cons: rash
Bottom Line: I used this product for quite some time, and out of nowhere I started to break out with this rash on my face. At first I had no idea what it was from. So I started to monitor everything that could of done this. From washing all my sheets to what I was eating. later the rash was gone and finally decided to put this product back on my face, and the very next morning (4 hours later) my face started to Irritate, and notice some red coming out. Now I know for a fact it wasnt anything I came across, it was this product i was putting on my face. DONT USE. . . . this product's price might be a lower cost than proactiv, but poractiv is more consistant. and doesnt have the Symptoms of irratating your skin.

Pros: -Worked for about a week -feels good -nice packaging?
Cons: -After 1 week my face started breaking out - Smells bad -Dries up your face - Expensive!!!! ($97 for 5 things!!!!)
Bottom Line: This stuff sucks. I used to have what i would consiter mild acne (3-4 small pimples) and now i get these 2 huge red pus balloons on my cheeks every week as well as the acne i had before. As much as the stupid commercials convince you to buy this sh*t, do NOT!!! I GOT TRICKED DON'T YOU TOO!!!!

Pros: Can be taken with food. It worked for me.
Cons: Only treats red, pus-filled pimples and red bumps of moderate to severe acne. Constant headaches, sense of dizziness right after taking it, stomach pains, bruised easily
Bottom Line: If the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, then by god, I'm using it. I can deal with little things. Acne, on the other hand, I can not deal with. Used for at least 6 months. Using the access card, I pay only $10.00 each month for 30 pills.

Pros: It worked consistently for about 2 years. I'd get the occasional pimple but it clears up in a few days. God, I miss those days...never had to worry too much about acne...
Cons: After that 2 years, it stopped working completely. Breakouts were ten times as bad as before. Bacterial infection spread from my forehead to my cheek like fire. Dries out skin, smells weird, but willing to deal if it worked
Bottom Line: Would try it, but I'd look for other ways because it may not work after a while. Also, there are way better products out there that don't dry out your skin and have stronger elements than just the benzyl in proactive that makes it work better than the average drug store product. Now, I'm on an oral prescription called Solodyn (135 mg), which I take with food an hour before sleeping. I've been on at least 6 months and it's gotten rid of the red, pus-filled pimples and red bumps that used to bother me so much. Much easier than topical medications. I take it once daily and you get used to it. Sure you might get some side effects like dizziness or nausea but until I find something better, it's just the price you pay for clearer skin.
