Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Has a lot of natural ingredients. No perfumes.
Cons:
Quite pricey and the ladies at the Clinique counter will try to get you to buy as much as possible.
I've heard that Clinique's products are harsher than other products because they are targeted for a younger demographic. I use the antibacterial soap (lather for thirty seconds to kill germs) and it is great for the warmer months but too drying into the winter. I skip all of their step two's (clarifying lotions) because they all contain alcohol which makes my skin worse. Their acne body spray, nighttime acne gel and post-blemish formula are great (none of which I use every single day). Remember: not all acne products will work the same for everyone.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
cleared my skin up. Toner is refreshing.
Cons:
some areas peel (nose, t-zone)
first thing that has worked for me. i now get complimented on my skin, it feels great. i do not use the moisturizer every day though, nor do i use the mask. Just have to find a routine that works for you. I look forward to washing my face twice a day because it makes me skin feel so soft. Also took a little while to work. Id say I didnt have really good until about two months of usage, so dont give up on it right away if you dont see results.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It works. Cleared up my acne almost immediately.
Cons:
It is expensive. And can be a hassle to buy, as it's not available at drugstores.
I really do swear by this stuff. I admit, I am not always consistent with the "program," but it still works for me!!
And, if you have spots/scars from old pimples, try the skin lightening lotion. After using it for a just a couple weeks, I can almost go with no makeup, my skin tone is so even.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
This system is for mild/moderate/acute acne.
Heres what you do.... proactiv 3 steps at night and sometimes in the morning. (for guys shaving helps just dont shave over zits)... every morning and every night take several vitamin b5 pills (depending on how oily you skin is), one multivitamin and one 1000mg vitamin C for scars.... if you have mild/moderate acne... you see incredible results within 3 weeks. tops. you have to stick to it... i know its alot of pills and alot of bother but trust me... i had acne for 3 years and nothing worked for me... my skin is finally almost clear. This is aint a sales pitch cracka! this is the real deal... im finally happy.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Cleared up my acne
Cons:
Have to use product twice a day or you might see flare ups.
If you use proactiv correctly, and stick with it you will see results. For most people it take a good 2 months to see improvements, one month is not enough. Also, you might not be 100% clear in 2 months, but should see some improvement. The longer you use to product the more you will see the results. Proactiv is sold in most malls, talk to the people there because they can tell you why you might not be seeing results. Keep using!! Awesome product!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Totally cleared my skin up in a matter of days. I wake up with prettier skin in the morning.
Cons:
It works for 2 months and then stops. Have to use something different for a few days before I start it again. Occasionally burns the skin in the crease of my nose...sit infront of a fan burn.
The bottom line is, it works well. I had issues with some acne a few years ago, it cleared it up. But just like any other product after using it for a while the skin adapts to it. Hence the change in products for a few days every other month. I usually swear by this stuff.
Pros:
Very light,easy absorbed lotion. Doesn't irritate my skin.Easy to apply and helps reduce blemishes. I use it with the acne.org regime and my skin looks great!
