Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
pimple dried out
Cons:
this is 10 percent benzoyl peroxide, and way to drying. This left a mark that looked like a burn around my pimple.
I wouln't use my finger to apply. Use a q-tip to be more precise.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Last year I had light to moderate acne, but it still bothered me. I bought thi and it worked amazingly well. I wish this could work as well for me as it did with everyone else.
Cons:
Didn't work as quickly as I hoped it would, but it worked.
There are a lot of people that don't like it, but the commercials say it's for light to moderate acne, and not severe. But I still suggest that everyone with doubts about it working still tries it out.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
Cleans well and did not dry MY skin, leaves you feeling fresh. Also works very well to not only cure, but prevent acne.
A great facial wash that I found wasn't too harsh on my skin and is great value for money.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
I got this for my daughter after she had tried using Differin and did not get great results(especially for the $$$$) She used it and it has made her skin look beautiful, I started using it as did my other 2 daughters and our skin is now amazing.
Cons:
None, just make sure you follow the directions
This is the best product ever, we have also tried the mosturizers and they are also great.
I would and have recommended this product to all my friends and family. The service is great, the soap is outstanding and they always send you little freebies with your order. I will never use another high priced big name brand product again. This stuff is GREAT

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Clears skin, makes it less oily.
Cons:
Dries skin a little bit (but that's because I don't use the moisturizures)
I use the cleanser & daily oil control in the morning and cleanser & mask when I shower at night. It works great, and gives me confidence.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
really small, worked on the small pimples and all. like little white heads here and there, maybe on every other blackhead.
Cons:
didnt really work for me. my skin got kind of "immune" to it quickly.
it will work on SOME of the breakouts i had, and it wont work on others.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
I love this particular BP simply because it is non-irritating where as other products (Clearasil, Persa-Gel, etc...) use 10% BP. This is 2.5%; however, it is just as effective in fighting acne. It smells great and it goes on pretty clear. Buy it!
Cons:
I wish it would go on a little more clearer, but that is not a big issue for me. I've never had harsh acne. Luckily it is very very mild, but this keeps me from getting any future pimples. I also with the tube was as big as Dan's BP. 4 oz perfect
I will not between BP's anymore. I have tried many different BP's and I love this one. I give it five stars. It is fast acting and it smells great. I wish it came in a bigger tube, but that is fine. I am willing to pay $4.97 for it at Wal-Mart. By the way people, go to Wal-Mart. I can't believe that your paying between 7 and 10 bucks for this stuff. It's only 5 bucks at Wal-Mart. Happy acne killing!

Product used: Nature's Cure (Two-Part Acne Treatment System for Males)
Well wow I took this stuff a good 3 months, and I think it may have really screwed up my face. My acne's been much worse ever since starting it nearly a year ago, and I'm still not back to normal. I really wish it had worked for me like it has apparently worked for some people, but I think I'm screwed!
Pros:
i saw results right away and left my skin clear.
