Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Cons:
Small tube, and some irritation/flakiness (stings if used anywhere above cheekbones)
I find this is a great product for my existing acne, especially since the BP level is just 2.5% I've used SA products in the past, but they seem to lose their effectiveness on me after a while. This just keeps working, and it keeps my cystic acne at bay.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Very cheap, clear, good texture, doesn't clump, really works!
Cons:
none except that it's not available in stores
Awesome product. I've used quite a few BP's, and this is the best by far. It doesn't irritate me or dry up my skin as much as the other stuff. I even am able to use it during the day sometimes without a moisturizer. Awesome product!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
The perfect percentage of BP for skin, at a great price, and simple to use. WONDERFUL!
Cons:
None. GREAT PRODUCT!
Dan Kern's BP formula is wonderful. I was so frustrated because all the BP I could manage to find was too strong at the drug store (10%/ 5%) -- and it came in tiny containers (resulting in it being expensive). Dan's product is the PERFECT percentage of BP for skin, at a great price, and simple to use. THANK YOU DAN!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It Cleared up my skin in a couple of days.
Cons:
If i missed a day i would break out even worse then i have ever had and i dryed my skin up and made it really red.
Basically it works if you can be consistent and use it every day but i do have a busy life and don't always have time to use it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
it worked only for my big pimples that are red and have a white head in the middle. and i only have to of those in a week.
Cons:
after 2 months of use it did hardly anything for my white heads and black heads that i have hundred off.
i guess it works for some and doesnt work for others , i was unlucky. so the results for the price didnt convince me to continue to use it. now my skin is 100% better with 3 weeks of using acne complex from murad. the murad has done an excellent job on my whiteheads and blackheads. if you want to use it though i suggest you start of using the acne treatment gel only at night for the first few weeks otherwise you skin may dry out and you can break out even more. so proactiv no but murad yes.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I like the light scent
Cons:
I have a dry forhead
I am serving in Iraq, and I have just started using proactive for about 3 weeks now. I have had acne ever since I was 11 and now I am 28. I haven't seen a real big improvement in my face but I do have some dryness on my forehead.It is really discouraging to read comments that people have left but it is helpful. Im really not sure if I am applying the repairing lotion right. Do I rub it in until it is absorbed in to my skin,or do I apply a thing layer over my face and let it absorb into my skin on its own?

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel)
Pros:
affordable or available on prescription in Uk
Cons:
I really wouldnt touch this if you have sensitive skin
After only an hour of applying, my face began burning badly...by the next day it was red raw and blistered. Obviously this may lessen after more applications but when your skin reacts this way, its simply too painful to do it again the next day!
Have tried it a couple of times since with the same effects- which takes nearly 2 weeks to subside. Not for me!
Pros:
Great at clearning up existing acne and preventing future breakouts, it also seems to help oily skin stay matte.
