| Pros: | Works great with the acne.org regimen! It seems to be doing the job good b/c 100% clear |
| Cons: | it is a bit expensive and you have to order it. And if i find it at one of those Proactiv boothes in the mall then it is more expensive. |
| Bottom Line: | I love it and thinks Dan needs to move this as the recommended product for his regimen. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Acne severity: | light |

| Pros: | This really doesn't have a great consistency for the regimen. Easy to spread and apply. |
| Cons: | I'd said Proactiv is pricey, but I can't complain about that since I had three months worth given to me by a friend. |
| Bottom Line: | I think it's better than plain BP if you can get your hands on it alone, since BP is going to be drying at least at first. So it offers a little more moisture, even my oily skin needs the extra moisture. Not to mention, it's oil-free. I'm glad to have three months supply of this stuff so I can use it instead of just plain BP. Of course this lotion is going to be drying as others stated, but that's because it's BP! haha. But like I said, it's nice to have around if you have it because it's a moisturizer too. Although, I cleanse, use Proactiv Repairing Lotion, and I still use a dry skin lotion after this.. and I have EXTREMELY oily skin, but BP dries me out. So never underestimate the power of moisture when you're using BP. |

| Pros: | Does work with consistancy. I started breaking out on my forehead pretty bad a while back, proactive got rid of it. I find it works best when you use alot of the repairing lotion. |
| Cons: | Dries out your skin. Over priced. |
| Bottom Line: | Over all this product works well for me. Does work. Makes your skin look way better, evens skin tone, gets rid of acne. I know for some people i know it didnt work as well asit does for me, but it IS worth a try. |

| Pros: | I have been using the reparining lotion and the results are OK. No major breakouts for the past two weeks-a big improvement from a new blemish everyday. |
| Cons: | It did take a while to start working (almost two months) and I have to be consistent. My skin is very flaky and sensitive now. |
| Bottom Line: | With the advice from this site, my skin has been better. Another BP product might have the same result. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | Laura has used this item for about a month. |

| Pros: | It got rid of a few zits. |
| Cons: | SUCKS! I thought it was a lotion! Why, then, would it make my skin dry, flaky and itchy? Don't use this. |
| Bottom Line: | Horrible. HORRIBLE |

| Pros: | A bit of initial clearup |
| Cons: | Took no time at all for my skin to get immune, and became useless. I literally stopped washing my face altogether for a week to the same results as the three step Proactiv |
| Bottom Line: | Pretty much useless, to me. WAY overpriced, did no good. |

| Pros: | you can say you use such a well known brand (thats about all i can think of) |
| Cons: | it is expensive, it drys out your skin without getting rid of acne, there are alot of steps that ultimately do nothing |
| Bottom Line: | It is good if you have the occasional pimple on your face but rubbish for acne sufferers and teenagers with alot of oil. |
| Recommended: | No |

| Pros: | None. |
| Cons: | Expensive. Made me break out so bad, I quit using it. Am now using tretinoin and it has saved me from the damage Pro Active caused. |
| Bottom Line: | Some people just don't have good results from benzoil peroxide. I'm 36 yrs old. I have tried everything. This product may work for some people, but not at all for me. I broke out in areas that I never usually have problems with. |

| Pros: | -It really works! It dries up your pimples and speeds up the healing process. |
| Cons: | -It removes the pimples but it leaves scars. It also gives this unbelievable itchiness. |
| Bottom Line: | The lotion makes it veeerryyy itchy but if you have self control, it's bearable. I noticed a pimple growing two days ago and so I applied the lotion for two consecutive nights. Right now, it's still there but it is on its late stages.
I use this with ProActiv Renewing cleanser (WHICH IS THE BEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED!) and proactiv toner. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | Pamela has used this item for a few months. |
| Acne severity: | very light |
