Pros:

Cheap, goes on quickly, WORKS!!!

Cons:

causes dry/flaky skin, gives me "raccoon eyes"

Alright so this stuff is amazing, I finally have clear skin! The only issues are that it makes my skin red dry and flaky.. I fix that with Dans moisturizer (Thanks dan!) but it gives me big bags under my eyes. I look like a raccoon, LOL. Not the product's fault though, it's mine. I always seem to accidentaly get some BP around my eyes. So avoid the eye area and this stuff works GREAT!

Pros:

goes on smooth, good price, good amount, doesnt dry out skin

Cons:

looks horrible under make up, takes a long time to work, wasnt effective for me at all.

I was so excited when i saw everyones review and how much they all loved it. The first night I put it on it burned a little but hey so does everything else. I woke up the next morning and my pimples were BRIGHT red. and SOOO dried out i think I had an allergic reaction or something. didnt really work for me.. so i guess i have to kepp trying different things. try at your own risk i guess.

Pros:

i don't break out when i use this product

Cons:

does not get rid of blemishes. after the pimples subside, it leaves red marks on face

i've tried other products including proactive. those just make me break out like crazy! this is the only product which makes me not worry the following morning that i have a big zit on my face...so even though it does not clear out blemishes, i use it still because at least i'm not developing any zits anymore

Pros:

It is the only thing that has worked for me and I've tried EVERYTHING! It doesn't irritate my skin at all. I now have 0 acne and my skin is soft and smooth!

Cons:

I can't think of any.

Used as part of Dan's regimen, this gel can't be beat! It is such a relief to be rid of acne after years of trying a gazillion different products/regimens.

Pros:

Big tube that lasts for a really long time, no fragrance, goes on smoothly and leaves face feeling nice afterwards

Cons:

Been using this for about a month and I can't really tell if its making a huge difference. It seems to calm the skin in general, which is nice, but the bumps themselves keep popping up.

Overall, it has worked better than everything else I have tried but it is no miracle. It is definitely worth a try though because some people seem to have amazing results. I'm hoping mine is just taking time...

Pros:

It works, whiteheads disappeared faster, noticeable brightening effect on my skin, Females only need about a tube for two months, lightens melasma spots (aka lucy liu's freckles)

Cons:

It take times (like after your second period), scar still apparent but I'll give them another month, burning or stinging feeling when applied but like I said give it all time, shiny t-zone (?... could be the moisturizer...).

Ahhh... what to say. I know most of us want prefect skin (like tomorrow) but this isn't Proactiv (by the way, when I stopped using Proactiv.. they just came back!). But it also has to do with your hormones. Suggestions? Get good sleep every night, eat healthier and just do as the directions say and you'll be on the road to clearer skin! (which I haven't done the following since college started...) Oh yeah, some AHA will help battle dryness. Oh and for those who keep complaining about their skin when they only went into the regimen for a few good weeks. This is like your body getting use to it, so at least milk it up and utilize the money you paid for. it's worth investing into in the long run if you just give it try.

Pros:

It doesn't dry quickly and goes on easy. New whiteheads go away extremely fast. I have a lot less acne then when I began.

Cons:

Will bleach your pillowcases and towels.

It gets the job done. I bought the starter kit and have seen amazing results in the first month. I saw improvement the first week, over the next two weeks I had the initial breakout, and then it just cleared up. Nothing I've ever been on before in my life has worked the way this has. I've got 3 whiteheads on my face right now. 4 weeks ago, I had around 20. My skin also has this nice, smooth look to it that I can't remember the last time my face had.

Pros:

Larger size, cheaper than the Neutrogena one.

Cons:

It is making my acne worse. For a while I thought my skin was just having a temporary flare up. But I think this product just isn't working with my skin or something.

I hope it gets better but for the time being, it's making the acne so much worse.
