Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Cons:
it takes too long to take effect!
i just had this trouble with acne erupting on my fave when i started working, and im doing graveyard shifts. maybe this is all due to stress. whi;e surfing the net, i came up to this website so i tried the regimen. i had a facial first before trying this regimen. i noticed a difference on my right cheek, but on the left part, it still hasn't changed! but, i just used it for a couple of days so i know i should be patient. well, it's worth a try anyways!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
it clears up blackheads like a DREAM! (you know, those little tiny ones deep down in your pores and nothing else can get them) it makes your skin feel squeaky clean!
Cons:
its expensive and it kind of burns and stings right after you have put it on and it dries out your skin.
It is a good product that will clean your face well. It does kind of itch and burn for a while after you put on the BP lotion, and it does kind of dry out your skin. But if you put on oil-free mousteriser in the morning and the BP lotion at night, the dry skin problem goes away. IT IS AN AMASING PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!

Pros:
worked within the first 2 days
smells nice
did not over dry my face (i am really oily)
Cons:
price
and amount of product
this worked for me after only 2days of use. i have very oily skin but i have few breakouts. it smells nice and goes on nicely too.
for all those who are looking for the right acne product to work you should use something for at least 6 months so you can get use to it. unless of course you react to it soon after you try it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It really does work, the commercials may exagerate a little but it does take care of mild to moderate acne well. Very smooth skin and the oil control really makes your face look shine free!
Cons:
Just like with everything else, if you use too much your face is going to be dry. I have sensitive skin and the proactiv worked well until i started getting liberal with the toner and now my face hurts! Make sure to use everything sparingly!
It works, it's a good product, but you need to be smart about it. Don't expect that the more you use it the better your results will be. Bottom line. Just follow the directions and use small amounts of it EVERY time and you will be happy = ]

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Your skin feels clean and that is about it...
Cons:
Expensive, no results
Since I have been using this my breakouts have progressively gotten worse. I have followed the steps and I am on my 4th week of using it and my skin is worse now, worse then before using this product.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Works pretty well. Well, at least the face wash does. The refining mask also works pretty well for lessening pimples overnight.
Cons:
For me, it only works if I use the face wash and a face cream thing of benzyl peroxide my doctor gave me. Not anything else of the system helps me.
It's pretty good. I wouldn't reccomend getting the really expensive kits of Proactiv though, maybe just the face wash, or the smallest kit possible. For me, I used it, and then kind of stopped. After about a month of JUST using the face wash and the cream my doctor gave me, my face started to clear up. I wouldn't reccomend using their toner or their other stuff.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I am 30 years old and have always had to "deal" with mild acne. Just recently however I began breaking out along my jawline. I began using ProActive and it seems to heal the pimples quickly.
Cons:
However, it has not cleared them up completely... Actually, it hasn't cleared them up at all. Like I said above it helps heal them faster but before they are healed I'll have another one or two pop up.
Another bad thing I've noticed about ProActive is that it causes my skin to become severly dry and itchy. My neck (and I don't even use it on my neck) has become dry and red and itchy. I think I might be allergic to it, however this is not a normal allergic reaction (I don't think). Anyway, I've heard amazing things about this product and it saddens me that it has not been the miracle solution I was hoping for. I had MUCH better skin when I was taking Ortho-Tricyclen.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
It is so great, I use the cream and the pads and the blackhead pads, only for one day, I put them on at 3:30, and I got GREAT results so far, almost half of my zits are gone already!
Cons:
it stings, but not very much
Get it and you won't regret it!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
This stuff is absolutely amazing! It works great with my skin, and the people who say bad things about it are probably not using the product correctly. DON'T use it more than twice a day, try the moisteriser if you're drying out. I love proactiv!
Cons:
a little expensive, and you have to be very patient with results, maybe 3-4 months before you can really see absolutely FLAWLESS skin. It works great with scars, too.
It's a great product, the smell is lovely, but ittakes a while for your skin to heal, but woudn't you want to spend 4 months healing your face than having acne for the rest of your life?
Pros:
Quickly dries up acne covered area of the face; however the moisturizer does help.
