Pros:

makes skin smooth prevented outbreaks but didn't clear up existing blemishes

Cons:

customer service sucks

proactiv is worth a try but is useless if not used consistency and bottle sizes are smaller than advertised.

Pros:

I had a couple of pimples only and mostly tried it to clear up annoying blackheads on my nose. The pimples disappeared within just a week of use.

Cons:

The blackheads didn't change one bit, and the system was incredibly drying. My entire face started to peel and flake like I was a leper or something.

Way too harsh and expensive. It might work if you have very oily skin so it doesn't overly dry it out, but for me it only made things worse. I'll take a couple of pimples over my entire face feeling tight, burning, and flaking off.

Pros:

see less pimples and severity and duration of blemishes not as bad

Cons:

pricey, does not help blackheads or clogged pores.

not the miracle product they want you to think it is but does help with moderate acne worth giving it a shot.

Pros:

It smells like the old line of Keri lotions. It redused the redness and the Face the facts book provided me on tips of putting on makeup to avoid future breakouts. the scrub is wonderful!

Cons:

if you have pimples that you have popped (i know its gross), the second step kind of stings, and the mask does not completely get rid of your new pimples over night. At first you might break out just because you are clearing out your poors.

This program works well if you use it regularly, as it describes on the containers, and the amounts it tells you to take. If you have problems, most likely you got it wrong or you skin type isnt right for it. consult a professional before use! People with oily skin must use this product because the benzoyle peroxide does not dry out your skin, it makes it tolerable! I love this product and will continue using it. I recommend it to all with acne problems!

Pros:

At first I saw my skin looking better. It did not look as dry as before, I was happy. My skin felt soft.

Cons:

After using it for 2 1/2 weeks, my skin started getting red patches, and it was very dry and irritated, adn flaky. I got more pimples than I had before, adn really big ones. my skin feels rough and looks aged. HORRIBLE. looks like i have wrinkles.

( OH THE YEA THE MASK SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN EGG WHEN YOU CLEAN IT WITH THE TONER). Im still using the product since i havent had the 30 days completed yet. Im hoping my skin will get better. the only way it looks good is if i wear makeup, which was the reason why i started using this product, so i can stop covering my face with makeup. after reading some review im gonna just use it once a day to see if those ugly red small dots in my skin go away. i honestly saw better results using NEUTROGENA oil free acne wash combined wiht clean and clear persa gel. if this doesnt work im going back to using my old stuff. i might try the murad thing at [link removed]. ggggrrrr.... >(

Pros:

Really clears up acne quick

Cons:

Can leave my face real oily or shiny looking sometimes

Proactiv solution works wonders for me, all I have to do now is get rid of some spots,lol. But I think the people who say it doesn't work aren't using it right, or often enough, or has severely bad acne.The price is a little much, but hey, as long as it works.

Pros:

smells good.

Cons:

doesnt work! can make skin sensitive and kinda hurt.

i used this when i was 12 for about a year and thats when i started to get bad acne! it pretty much stinks! the repairing lotion can make skin fell painful when touched! jessica, kelly, and lindsay may have had good results from proactive(which i doubt)but they are only 3 people, and they also get like weekly facials and stuff like that! dont use it!
