if i need to i could use this stuff, but you should go see a dermatologist and get an evaluation to make sure your skin is getting its best treatment.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
It's cheaper than most Acne treatments. I bought the Terminator 10 (not the kit).
Cons:
- Redness all where ever you put the cream
- More Acne than before
- SEVERE Dryness after product usage
This product is good for nothing. Do not buy this product...it will make your face redder, dryer, flakier...and you may experience a worse break-out than before. It will humiliate you with the Reddness...DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Fragrance-free, thick consistency, cheap and you can cut the tube open to get the last remnants out of the bottle :)
Cons:
wish it came in even bigger packaging, need to be patient and wait for it to dry or it'll bleach out all your clothes/sheets
I LOVE this stuff especially in comparison to proactiv's 2.5% which is too creamy and stinks to high heavens (enough to make you sick if in large increments which is required for DK's regimen)

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Does not irritate my skin; no odour, easy to use. I can pick it up at the mall.
Cons:
Not working well. It improved my skin, but I still break out. It doesn't hydrate enough in the winter.
I'm switching; I'm going to try exposed.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
it worked
Cons:
but just for a short period of time.
this product is sh*t. it took a week for it to actually work and then a few days after i started breaking out, really bad. i decided to keep using it to see if it would go away and until now its been like 2 months and still my face is full of acne.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
Frankly, it's working for me. As it's descriped on this site. Waiting for the Daniel Kern's regiment gel...
Cons:
Really too expensive! used up one tube every week. And it's balling up all the time. And it causes flaking. Sometimes people wondering what I have on my face... I have to explain a lot each time. Anyway, pimples are almost gone...
I think like its name, On the spot, it'll be excellent only for the "spot". When it comes to the general application on the face, problems are caused. I didn't try the Daniel's regiment at beginning, cos it's quite complicate to get it in China. But finally I ordered them this morning, Even including the UPS service, it would be much cheapper than the Neutrogena cream(here in China, we buy it at $8).
If you're outside the US, I think it's not a bad idea to try this one first, just to see if the BP really works for you.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It definitely does work, but you need to make a religion out of using it twice a day.
Cons:
Missing even one session caused some of my pimples to come back.
I had pretty severe acne that even prescription topical treatments weren't really helping, so I tried proactiv, and found it to help quite a bit. It was worthwhile to switch for me.
May 5, 2007
Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I had been using Proactiv for 2 yrs. It worked at first......
Cons:
Isuppose my skin got so immuned to the product that it just didn't work for me anymore
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE!!! IT IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME & MONEY..I USED THE PRODUCT FOR 2 YRS., IT WORKED FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS BUT STILL DID'T SEE THE RESULTS I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING.. SO I GUESS YOU CAN SAY I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED. ANYONE WITH ACNE I BEG YOU TO PLEASE GO AND SEE A DERMATOLOGIST BEFORE INVESTING INTO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. MY DOCTOR EVEN SAYS IT'S BULL SH-T IN SO MANY WORDS, BUT WAS NOT AT ALL SUPRISED ABOUT WHAT I WAS TELING HIM ABOUT THIS PRODUCT..HE SAID I WAS LIKE SO MANY OTHER DISAPPOINTED FANS..AND TO JOIN THE REST OF THE DISAPPOINTED FANS FOR THIS PRODUCT CALLED PROACTIV!!!!! SOME PRODUCT HUH...
May 4, 2007
Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Not a whole lot...
Cons:
This product doesn't work. I tried it for six months thinking that perhaps the product just needed time. Nothing! In fact I think it made my overall acne problem worse while using it.
This product is extremely expensive and worthless. I gave it time to "do its magic" and nothing. I followed the directions and even consulted their customer service to make sure I was following their suggested guidelines of use.
Pros:
used once when i had a fairly clear face, and surprisingly, it helped. how it could actually cause all this redness...idk. but its probably because i used it every other day.
