Pros:

The cleanser exfoliates my dry skin-

Cons:

seriously..the stuff burns my skin- does not help prevent breakouts

I would recommend this if you need a good sink cleaner or something. It burns my face so badly, bleached the towels I wiped my hands on, and the hoodie I wore. Wonder what it does to your skin!!

Pros:

Doesn't neccessarily clear up my skin 100% but it leaves my skin smooth and improved my skin texture.

Cons:

It takes awhile to see results, leaves a mild burning sensation a few seconds when using the products (especially toner) and its kinda pricey for me! x3

I've been using this since high school and by far the only product that works for me. You just need time and patience for the product to actually work.

Pros:

it really worked after a couple of times. i was going into 7th grade and within a month i was pimple free.

Cons:

it dries out your skin. a lot.
it is actually a bit expensive

i use it every two days because it dried out my skin. i was really excited when it started to work. the only problem for me is how much it dries out my skin. i would recommend this product because it does work for people with oily skin and for people with mild to moderate acne. if u have acne in the t zone.( forehead, noes, and chin) this product is also a plus. but again only if you have mild to moderate acne.

Pros:

it cleared up almost all of my blackheads and I haven't had a pimple in months

Cons:

I ran out once and it took me a while to go get some more..as SOON as I stopped using my blackheads came back and I got pimples which I had never really had before.

I love proactiv. I just wouldn't want to get caught without it. I never really had acne though...I just wanted perfect skin and proactiv did it for me. Seriously- my skin is baby-ass perfect.

Pros:

The product helped my skin for about 3 years. i would only get one or two pimples on my face that was easily controlled.

Cons:

But.. after 3 years proactiv ruined my skin.. i had uncontrollable breakouts all over my face and the medicine at the dermatologist barely help out.. it's been about 2 years since i last used proactiv. and my skin still does not look good.

If you want something that does the job temporarily then you can use it but I don't think the side affects to the product is worth is since I'm still dealing with it. I think proactiv makes your skin a bit immune to a lot of topical acne solutions.. I think I'll end up with the last resort and getting prescribed accutane

Pros:

It works, lives up to promise

Good product, at a good price. When it comes to your face you are going to pay for what you get. It is less than a dollar a day for skin care.

Pros:

*gets rid of acne COMPLETELY if used for at least 3 months.

Cons:

*smells *make skin feel itchy *makes skin VERY dry *takes a LONG time to get rid of acne *if you forget to use it for just one day, you'll breakout like CRAZY *makes face look red *expensive as hell

NOT WORTH TRYING ! i have VERY bad acne on my face, and it didn't do much. just made my skin flaky, itchy, and red. My mommy still uses it, and it works GREAT on her; but she BARELY have any acne on her face. I guess it depends on your skin type and how sever your acne are. Works better on people with less acne.
