| Pros | Clears acne Prevents new acne Gives you a clean feeling Does actually shrink pores |
|---|---|
| Cons | TOO drying Not for everyday use Smell like chemical |
| Bottom line | I've been suffering from acne for half a year now ( I'm 18 ) My skin used to look perfect and acne-free until after a horrible day it broke out like crazy. My parents, my friends and even my teachers they told me that my face was a mess. Can you imagine how sad it was. I felt devastated, I stopped going out and spent most of my time sitting alone at home. My mom took me to a hospital, then a derm, but nothing seemed to work. My aunt, she sent me the Proactiv Kit but at first I didn't dare to use because of all the negative comments on the internet. However, as I was so desperate and I realized that I had nothing to lose, I finally decided to try Proactiv the 3-step system. And it works ! I know it doesn't work for everyone but I'm glad it works for me. The cleanser was too drying at first, and it left my face crazily red for 3 days but acne was gone ! So, I decided that I couldn't use it everyday, so I switched to Cetaphil. However, as you all know Cetaphil is mild and gentle and to be honest it doesn't really cleanse the skin very well. So every 2 days I use Proactiv cleanser to exfoliate and prevent new acne and then switch back to Cetaphil. Just so you know, acne doesn't disappear in just one night so you have to be persistent and believe that you can CONTROL your acne. Do not let it control your life. Everyone deserves clear skin!! |

| Pros | It works it does a good job and really smooths out your skin.. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It irritates your skin for the first time you use it like the first week. |
| Bottom line | It works if you follow with the remaining steps of the 3 step systems and benzoyl peroxide specifically goes after acne and it kills is so i recommend to use it because if your patient and keep pushing it will pay off and use it every day because it s a routing that builds up to attack your bad skin |

| Pros | Only thing that works on my face! Leaves my skin so soft! Really reduces acne...a lot! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Face pretty much NEEDS it after a while; if you get off, you will pay. |
| Bottom line | I have pretty bad acne. I'm a guy -- 15 years old, and I have my fair share of discoloration. Cystic acne runs in the family. This cleanser, however, is the bomb. It helps tremendously. Only thing that works, though. Tried to get off and use different cleansers. Tried a whole bunch! Left my skin a wreck! Started using the Proactiv cleanser again & used the refining mask to get the acne rashes gone fast and it's gone! Yay! |

| Pros | none |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smells, leaves a residue on my skin not matter how long I wash it. If I use it in the shower it bleaches my towels. Didn't clear up acne at all! |
| Bottom line | I hate it! |

| Pros | Effective, Better texture than most "scrubs" or "microbead" cleansers |
|---|---|
| Cons | Expensive, Scent |
| Bottom line | This cleanser may be too harsh for those with moderate to severe inflamed acne since it has bp in its formula, but it has worked wonders on my non-inflamed acne's blackheads and whiteheads. I've used a variety of normal cleansers and scrubs designed specifically for blackheads but this is the only cleanser than left my skin feeling smoother and residue-free. Most "blackhead scrubs" were so mild that they barely did anything, but this one actually feels like it's polishing my blackheads/whiteheads away as it cleans. I use it with Laura's non-inflamed acne regimen (see the message boards) and it's been awesome. It didn't irritate my skin or leave any residue. |

| Pros | smooths skins gets rid of pimples fast doesnt irritate my skin or dry it out i got it for free (thats more of a personal pro though) |
|---|---|
| Cons | smells NASTY bumpy and rough so it hurts |
| Bottom line | this stuff works really good, really fast. the only problem is after awhile, my face kinda just got used to it and it doesnt really work anymore. it gets rid of current pimples (very slowly) but it doesnt prevent new ones from popping up like it used to. however, aside from the smell and texture, it works very good for the first few weeks. of course this doesnt sound great because it stops working (sort of) but trust me, if you buy this you wont be dissapointed. |
