Also, I noticed some people complained about leaky bottles for travel, but my kit came with a mini travel kit of all 3 items...maybe they are catching on.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Cons:
WAY TOO DRYNG for my face! It completely made my face go crazy and I was peeling so bad on my chin. I couldn't smile throughout the day b/c I it literally felt like my skin was about to crack. Didn't look to nice either, so I stopped using it.
Good as a spot treatment like what it is made for, definitely not the whole face. Although it claims it is gentle, it was too harsh for me and way to drying. People with sensitive skin I woudln't recommend, I learned that the hard way! My skin is still messed up b/c of it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
nothing. It just made it worse
Cons:
Makes it worse if you skip even a day of using it
This thing sucks. Waste of money and isn't very effective. It saps your wallet.

Pros:
really clears up skin quick, pills really help even my skin that has been subject to numerous dermatologist perscriptions and pills, cream helps dry out pimples better than usual otc cream
Cons:
so far none.
so easy to use, use whatever facewash you want and just put cram on morn and night with the pills. dont over-do the cream, i feel that is why some people say it dries them out but dont obsess over using it, just a light layer does the trick well.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The texture and scent are wonderful, and leave your face feeling squeeky clean.
Cons:
Dries out your skin, doesn't seem to be working like it did a few years ago.
I think they may have changed the ingredients because it used to be way better than it is now, or maybe my body has just decided it doesn't really like Proactive any more. Either way, its way too expensive to be as much of a disappointment as it is. Good luck

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Amazing stuff. You can see a difference in just one night.
Cons:
A little drying, but not any worse than anything else that I've tried so far.
Great stuff. Reccomend it to everyone. I'm testing the full force line of the products now to see how it goes (pimplescrub + severe acne), maybe it'll work faster, maybe results will be the same, but all I know is the stuff works. My skin is very tough and can handle alot, it's probably smart to start off using the AcneFree normal treatment first. From what I've learned so far, building up is better than starting with too much. Don't irritate your skin more than you need to. It doesn't have the disgusting smell that stuff like the clean & clear has. It's clean and to the point, none of those additives to make it smell pretty. Acne is serious business, we don't need to sugarcoat it.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
you can start seeing results right after you`ve used this product! it`s simply amazing & very affordable. i personally love this product !
Cons:
i don`t have sensitive skin so there are no cons.
the results are just amazing ! i can actually start to see my skin again because i`ve been struggling with acne for over 6 years and i honestly have to say that nothing works as well as acnefree. i`ve tried proactive and those drugstore products for years but nothing works as well as this! i had doubts at first but thought, what have i got to lose? if you`ve struggled with acne and nothing works for you, then you should try this. what have YOU got to lose?
