Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
Price is a little extreme. But buying it from The Shopping channel does make it more affordable.
Proactiv really does work. I would recommend it to anyone. I wish I had a kit on my hip that I could give to people that I see are suffering and say "here" try it, it will work. I LOVE PROACTIV! :) Thank you Dr. Fields and Rodan.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The cleansing mask is the only product that is worth the money even though it smells like sulfur and leaves your skin pretty dry. It is a good quick fix if you are needing polished skin asap.
Cons:
The Proactive system makes you look about ten years older than you really are. It dries out your skin terribly and leaves your skin red and dull. It also causes my acne scars, which are usually unnoticeable, to be dark red and irratated.
I would not recommend this product. When I get any of their products as a gift, I give it to my mother who does have a lot of faith in Proactive. I guess you have to try it for yourself; but as for me, I am sticking with Aveeno.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
I used this first when I started the CSR. It worked very well. It also made my face less greasy.
Cons:
It beaded up A LOT. Especially when using moisturizer. I had to use a wet washcloth to get the excess off.
It works if you don't have any of the CSR gel on hand, but watch out cuz it won't absorb all the way.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I saw immediate results after I started to use it. My face was so covered with blemishes that by the second day, they started to disappear.
Cons:
Nothing to report at this time
This stuff is worth it if you have acne that you just can't get rid of on your own. Totally recommended and I ensure that it will work.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
clears up acne,gives you radiant skin, and evens skin tone
Cons:
may cause dryness and itchiness
great product. you see results fast. someone suggested the product to me and i gave it a try. i thought i would be wasting my money but it actually worked. my friend experienced no dryness but i did. at first my face was very dry and ichy. i stopped using it for a few days then continued using the product again. to avoid dryness use the cleanser gently and avoid using it on the delicate skin around the eye area. it just depends on your skin type. if your sensitive be gentle with the product. if you have dry skin use a little more repair lotion. the product is amazing and i would suggest to anyone to give it a try.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
This product was so great!When I first started using this it worked only after a couple of days.I just put on some and it is always great to feel on my skin.It has no bad stench and it is affordable.I share one bottle with my sis and it lasts forever
USE THIS PRODUCT IT IS GOOD!!!!
Pros:
Great Product, has the right combination of medications in a "skin friendly product." Has cleared up my skin some, but not completely. You can not expect "perfect" skin from any topical treatment.
