Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
The price was good, and is comparable to proactive which I've been wanting to try for awhile
Cons:
Doesn't really seem to do much more to clear up my skin than any other cleanser. It is a little rough if you have sensitive skin, so I have to use it sparingly.
If proactive works for you, than this is a great cheaper alternative. However, if your acne is more hormonal vs. bacterial, then, it may not do much more than your regular cleanser.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
This is the 2nd time ive started to use Proactiv. The product DOES WORK! I'm on week two and my face is so smooth and a lot clearer. It does tend to dry your face out quite a bit at first, but an oil free moisturizer helps keep it under control.
Cons:
-The bleaching of clothes and towels. Just make sure you wash your hands throroughly after applying!
-It seems expensive but a kit lasts for 3 months. And really if you're buying regular facial wash and acne creams you'd be spending the same amo
Proactiv works.
You have to follow the routine though!

Pros:
It worked wonders on my skin, but I had to wear Mary Kay oil-free moisturizer on top, which I already had because I was following Dan's regimen. If you add this moisturizer, you'll see clear skin in nooooo time
Cons:
moisturizer is a little too heavy on my skin, so I wear the Mary Kay oil-free moisturizer
IT WORKS!

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Started working after a day, and has almost gotten rid of my acne after 5 days (had a lot on forhead). I got the 2 stage cleaning process before applying acne medication.
Cons:
Bleached towels. Not enough of the 2nd cleaner.
Worth the buy, just make sure your careful with it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
the bp product kind of works
the toner makes your skin look even
Cons:
the cleanser is horrible. it made me break out worse than before. when i was using all three products, the combination was so harsh my zits turned into scabs all over my chin and near my mouth.
The three products altogether are far too harsh. I have found that the bp and the refining mask are the only effective things they sell, and when using those the only thing that will even out the harsh effects and save you is AMAZING moisturizer. Even those are overpriced considering you can get the same items at a better price other places. Lame.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Works great. Easy to use. Clears up problem skin in just a few weeks. Cheap.
Cons:
Takes the color out of clothes etc.
Loved the product and the results however it was taking the color out of my clothes/towels/pillow cases. So, in the end, it wasn't that cheap. Going to try something new.

Product used: Dr. Sheffield's (Clear Zit Acne Treatment Cream)
Pros:
For a dollar, it does its job better than most acne products out there.
Cons:
Bleaches towels and clothing.
I've been using Pro Active for over a year and the product ended up giving me more acne problems than when I started. I went from having 2 pimples every three weeks to having 3-4 pimples in one week! I also had been using Oxy Pads, but had limited results. Clear Zit works. After reading the reviews here, I went out and bought it at a Dollar General up the street. This being my third week using the product, I've had no new pimples and I even noticed scars starting to fade a little bit! It burns sometimes, dries the skin and makes it peely/flakey, so I just use a little lotion sometimes when I notice the peeling. But hey, the cream is working, so I'm not complaining.
