Pros:

The only item that has ever worked for my skin. I am and just discovered I am allergic to salicylic acid and sulfur topical products. Proative 3 step program is all benzoyl peroxide, which saved my skin from 8 months of pure hell.

Cons:

Can be a little pricey, but worth it. I'd rather not have a lot of $ in my pocket then have a ton of acne on my face.

It worked and works for me, I'm a believer. After putting my face literally through 8 months of hell, of redness, peeling, tenderness, burning, etc. I love this product it has saved my face and my sanity! P.S. A little goes a long way people.

Pros:

This prodruct was affordable, it also started working within the first few days of application. Works really well to reduce redness.

Cons:

You have to be really be consistent or else it won't work. Can dry your skin out. Can be along process in the morning.

I tried Proactiv when I was younger but I wasn't consistent so it never worked for me. A few months ago my acne got really bad (Nodular Acne) so I decided to give it another shot. Ever since I have been using it morning and night very consistently it's been working amazing for me! If you find it makes your skin peel or you get irritated try using the repairing lotion only every second day.. But still use the cleanser and toner daily. Keep in mind that at first it will make you break out more, but keep using it... this is what the product does. Just keep being consistent and you will see results. If not their is a 60 day money back guarentee!

None

Cons:

Expensive

I used ProActiv for 6 months when I was 18 and had no results with moderate acne. I tried ProActiv again when I was 23 and just had occasional breakouts and still had no results. This product is not worth the price. I have been using tee tree oil and it is working great. Do not waste your money.

Pros:

If your face is oily, it will definitely dry it out.

Cons:

It dries out your face REALLY bad. It left my face looking more red, irritated and blotchy than before. I still have the acne, too.

I used this product twice a day for 6 months. All it did was dry out my skin to the point that it cracked and bled. Even moisturizer didn't help. I used the mask maybe once a week, so I don't know if that was causing it to dry out as bad as it did, but either way, it was a waste of money for me.

Pros:

Makes your skin feel smoother.

Cons:

Doesn't help acne at all...which is what it was trying to sell.

A really expensive temporary skin softener.

Pros:

The Green Tea Moisturizer is pretty good.

Cons:

It dried out my skin SO horribly. I suspect what did it was either the toner or the Repairing Mask. It didn't work at all. It made my skin much worse, and I only broke out on my forehead before using it, and it caused me to break out elsewhere.

It sucks. It's so bad. It doesn't work on more severe acne, and I imagine if you just had light acne, you'd have your skin horribly dried out and ruined. Don't use it! Instead use Burt's Bees! It works miracles!

Pros:

It ships to my house on time and every month. It didn't dry out my skin.

Cons:

It bleaches fabrics (like most benzoyl peroxide). It does nothing for blackheads or whiteheads, and only helps a little bit with pustules.

This product just doesn't measure up. I could see it working for people that might have a pimple every month or so, but it does nothing for those of us with constant acne. I've used it for over a year. It has done nothing for the whiteheads and blackhead I have. I'm going to keep trying different treatments.

Pros:

It's easy to use, and works SOMETIMES

Cons:

It dries out my skin, It's not worth what you pay, It's harsh on sensitive skin, it seems to not work during the summer, and makes my skin even oilier!

...It sucks. My opinion is, since i'm a teenager, is that it doesn't work for us. I've read some reviews on here, and it seems to work for older people. It may work for them, but not for teenagers...
