Product used: Dr. Sheffield's (Clear Zit Acne Treatment Cream)
Cons:
Might overdry some people's skin and doesn't have a cleanser to go with it so I use Clearasil face wash just to keep my face clean.
This is such an amazing product! I used to have acne so bad it looked like I had chicken pox, but now is only mild and it didn't overdry my skin to where it was chafing or anything. A friend showed it to me when I was a senior in high school in 2002 and have been using it ever since! I wouldn't trade it for anything else because nothing else worked, including Proactiv. You can get it at Dollar General for about $1. Try it! You just may have found the love of your life!

Product used: Quinoderm ((5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream)
Pros:
I am 29 and have suffered with acne for years. Tried lots of different products but this one is really good. Really cleared my skin my complexion looks much better now! Would recommend!
Cons:
My skin was a bit dry at first but that soon cleared once my skin was used to the cream. Also, still tend to break out a little bit around the time of my period.
Overall very good would recommend to anyone who has tried everything like me!

Product used: Benzac AC (Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Gel)
Pros:
Nice texture of cream, helped me begin to clear acne that i have had for about 9 years.
Cons:
Can cause over-dryness occasionally, but this is easily fixed.
I found that the texture of the cream wa snicer than others I have tried and it is effective in helping control my acne. It is also cheaper than all the other creams, and I can buy it in larger quantities.

Product used: Clearasil (Daily Clear Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream)
Pros:
Cleared up my skin overnight
Cons:
Expensive, small, tends to get powdery after rubbing into skin.
Works great for overnight use but after second use start applying moisturizer after applying this product because it will make your skin flaky.

Pros:
it cleans your skin
the refining mask

it helped my acne but, it didnt do anything for my blackheads

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Wonderful product.
I am 34 yrs old and I have had acne since my teens, I have tried everything to clear it, nothing ever worked. I bought this product off of ebay. After I got the product it pnly took about a week to start clearing up my acne, my cousin and niece also tried it when they came to visit me and they have tried everything to clear thier acne and I purchased them each a bottle of this product and they are both now using it on a regular basis now and they now have very little acne. My cousin now wears very little make up. and my niece that is 13 is not asking to wear any make up to cover the acne. I would recommend this product to anyone who is thinking that they the only thing left for them to do is for them is to have the skin peel thing like the doctors told me, try this first. You will be be happy with it.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
clears acne right away
Cons:
made my face red and itchy for a few hours after i applied it
it works... this ingredient has always worked for me except my skin is a little bit sensitive to it.. i help it by only using it every other day and it still does the trick. i don't even need to apply make up anymore to cover any blemishes.. because there arent any!
Pros:
Amazing! Cleared up my severe acne in about 3 days! Dried my oily skin, got rid of and prevents acne almost 100%, no bad scent, and cheap!
