Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Proactiv works initially for about 3 months but mainly to even the skin tone ,it doesn't treat the acne and I have been using it consistently for about 1 year
Cons:
This product is really expensive and is not guaranteed to work consistently
A pricey product without the guaranteed results

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
If you're not satisfied after using the product for 30 days, it's a money back guarantee.
Cons:
For first time users, offer a two for one free gift for ordering their first kit.
I've read some comments where the bottle is too small. It's because you need to use a SMALL AMOUNT of the product. For those with oily skin like me, the oil-free moisturizer is wonderful as well as the refining mask. I use the mask at least twice a week and my face glows. I'm currently on a 12 week (4 month) cycle in getting a new kit and it's work out great. As long as you use the products in the right order and not mix it with other products, you'll see the results. Just stick with it.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Has made my skin clear, smooth and with an even tone. No more cystic nodules. Makes my skin glow.
Cons:
The toner runs out faster than the other two. I wish the purifying cleanser was a scrub (like ProActive.) I actually broke out a little when I first used this product, so that may be expected. Since then, it's been all clear.
I've had acne issues for several years, and have used a range of both prescription and OTC products. I really like and recommend this product for anyone who is looking for a good cleanser that will keep your pores unclogged (which is essential for keeping skin clear.) This is not a miracle product and will not give you perfect skin, so it's important to keep your expectations managed. I will say, however, it has worked great for me. Because my acne is tied to hormones, I am on prescription birth control. This, combined with AcneFree, is what has worked best for me. For those that have posted on this site and have had bad results, remember that this product will only go so far. If your acne is moderate to severe, you probably need something Rx like a hormone regulator or an antibiotic.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
This works beautifully -- with time. At first, my skin broke out more, but within a week, my skin felt softer and was clearer. Four months later, my skin is wonderful. So soft, and glowing, and no breakouts. I love the soap and the scrub.
Cons:
At first, my skin broke out more, but that was just cleaning out impurities. The scrub has an odd texture, but one gets used to it.
I will always use Carley's soap and scrub. My skin loves it, and one bottle (and one cake of soap) lasts for several months, so it is very inexpensive.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
The price is unbeatable compared to Neutragena, and it works great! No drying (I moisturize afterward). The tube lasts forever.
Cons:
Can't think of any.
Use it as part of the regime and you will experience great happiness due to a clear complexion! I will continue using these products as long as Dan keeps making them. Thank you Dan! No more depressing mornings staring at the pimples on my face!! Yeah! :-)

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I had a couple of pimples only and mostly tried it to clear up annoying blackheads on my nose. The pimples disappeared within just a week of use.
Cons:
The blackheads didn't change one bit, and the system was incredibly drying. My entire face started to peel and flake like I was a leper or something.
Way too harsh and expensive. It might work if you have very oily skin so it doesn't overly dry it out, but for me it only made things worse. I'll take a couple of pimples over my entire face feeling tight, burning, and flaking off.

Pros:
I've used this product for 2 years straight no breakouts only one zit a month that is gone within days. I love this product and will continue to use this product!
