Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Cons:
at first go easy, if you use alot it will make you look like you have a sunburn!
I'm happy with this product. I have managed to eliminate the majority of my facial blemishes. Remember to moisturize after using the bp because it will leave your skin very dehydrated.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Does reduce amount of acne, dries quickly
Cons:
terrible rednedd and dryness, even with a lot of moisturizer. Very inconsistent results
If your gona use bp, this is the best and cheapest way to go. In my opinion BP is not the way to go for treating acne. It has been around since 1920, really old method. I feel the its cons outweighs the pros.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)

It worked wonders for me! My face has never been so clear and so smooth.

It doesn't work for everyone, but the least you can do is try it and see.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I'm 14 yrs old. Yeash I'm young. And I have had a bad case of acne since I was about 10 or 11 yrs. old. I hate my skin, and it's so irritating, so I decided to try Proactiv. For the first few weeks my skin felt great and it seemed to be working.
Cons:
After a few months it looked like it was getting better, but now I've used proactiv for about a year and it's not making any progress. I think my face is getting worse. I want to stop, but I have no idea what to use.
I have very bad scars and acne all over my face, mainly on my cheeks, and they won't go away. I've tried about everything. Neutrogena, Clean and clear, this one acne kit from another infomercial, Johnsons Baby, and lots more. Nothing seems to be working at all. I'm still using proactiv, but if anybody has suggestions on other products I can use please do tell. THESE PIMPLES ARE KILLING ME! (Proactiv still hasn't made progress on my skin.)

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
it definently helps fade scars and helps reduces the size of pimples. it was also easy to use.
Cons:
it focused more on blackheads then whiteheads, so my face was never really clear. acnefree never really got rid of my pimples, it just made them a little less visible.
i don't think this product is a success. it didn't work for me.

Product used: Brevoxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (4% or 8%) Creamy Wash)
Pros:
Yes! i used this a long time ago, it cleared my skin so i stopped using it after a week or so. After couple years my mild breakouts came back so i started using this again and it's been about two weeks ever since I started using it again & it works!
Cons:
little bit...actually ALOT of drying
u need a GOOD moisturizing oil-free
lotion while using this or else u will have peeling skin! yikes!
I love this! I use this with evoclin for spot treatment with Clinique's moisturizing lotion and hydrating cream and they all work well together and now i have no pimples on my skin!! just few darkened spots from pimples that I need to take care of. Love it! Try it! got nothing to lose!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Works really well, does wonders to my skin
Cons:
Not all of the zits are gone, some dryness of the skin. Expensive!!
So far, this is the best medication I have found that actually works, although it is pretty expensive. I work in a a grease filled environment and it keeps my skin clear compared to before I started using this treatment.
November 12, 2007
Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It did make my skin smoother.
Cons:
It did not clear up the zits. It gave me more and I used it rligiously for 7 monthes. Go to Wal Mart and buy the Acne Free 3-step system. It works wonders at clearing up my skin, plus it does not dry my face out at all.
Proactiv is definetly not what it is cracked up to be!!! I HATE PROACTIVE SOLUTION. DO NOT BUY IT!!!

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
After nine years of suffering this is my best product so far it really,really does work i'm pleased.
Cons:
Dries the skin like crazy and of course moisturizing wont help me since its pretty warm out here.
Try it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It did clear up my small acne porblems, that could easily be covered by makeup. Didnt dry my skin out, but product is expensive and runs out quickly
Used for 4 months
Cons:
Cause me to get this cystic like zits in my chin area. They would stay under the skin for a week, then surface and scab. It was horribly emabarassing and left dark purple scars on my skin. I discontinued use about 2 weeks ago and my skin is healing.
Works for some of my friends, not for others. I am much happier using more gentle products and switching brands every few months and my skin gets used to each product after a few months.
Pros:
Has reduced my facial acne by about 80% so far after only 2 weeks. I hope it continues to work in the future.
