Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Wash)
Cons:
* Too drying
* Doesn't treat acne
* Burns and stings skin sometimes
If your acne severity is light, use this product. My friend and I bought a few bottles of this product, because it was on sale. Unlike my skin which is acne-prone, my friend has very light acne. When she used it for one month, her skin was suuuuper clear. I bought five bottles. Personally for me, I've used this product for about 6 months. I'm on my 3rd bottle, and it hasn't been working! Well, sure, it removed very very few numbers of acne, but right after they're gone, new ones appear again! Yikes! Oh, I've also heard that this product is good for body acne, but I don't have any. I just want acne off my FACE. If your skin is totally acne-prone, do NOT buy this product. Sigh. 2 more bottles to go ...

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The green tea lotion works very well on dry hands.
Cons:
Made my acne worse!
My skin was red and burning right after I used the product. Then within a couple of hours my skin would become very oily. After three months, I tried to cancel my order, and they talked me into the advanced treatment. That didn't work either so I cancelled again. For months they kept sending me more and taking the money out of my account. Then I would have to call again and send the products back to get my money back. This went on for months! I don't recommend this to any one!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It softens your face
It somewhat clears acne
Cons:
It only works for people with barely any acne :(
It gets use to your skin so after awhile it stops working!
My friend gave me some proactive to try for a couple weeks, It worked at first then it stopped working. :( I would recommend it to people who have barely any acne though!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Smells clean and fresh
The only thing that has ever worked on clearing my acne
Affordable
Cons:
Bleaches towels
Can be very drying on skin
Once you stop using it your acne comes back fast
I love this product so much. I have tried almost everything that is acne treatment related at walgreens and walmart. Proactiv has really given a new found confidence in my acne free skin. In the first two weeks or so you still might continue to get acne, but don't let it discourage you from this product. If you want to see results you must stick to the regiment and be consistent. You don't get a six pack by going to the gym one time, do you? No! You have to stick to it. And for all those who have problems with cystic acne like me also (ie the hard red lumps under your skin) proactiv of course won't work on those because it a SURFACE acne clearer, if you want to get rid of those you need to go to a dermatologist, cystic acne could also be a symptom of a hormonal imbalance. Bottom line, stick to it and it will work.

Product used: Oxy (Clinical Treatment)
Pros:
Advanced Face Wash - 3.8 of 5... Fights the acne... and reduces the size of acne.. fights oil!
Pads- 2.7 of 5 BURNS! adds redness temporarily (about 10 mins) does offer some oil control
Hydrating Therapy - 5 of 5 LOVE this... really moisturizers, controls oil so well!, clears acne FAST!
Clearing Treatment - 3.5 of 5 Burns a little.. will clear acne!
Works like magic if you use all these products together! (not at once, but in a day)
Cons:
WASH - Doesn't make your face feel clean..
PADS - Sometimes has a mid of it's own and decides not to work! :s
Clearing Treatment: NOT for daytime applications
Like all other BP products you need to avoid the sun.. for this product it means that with a passion! If you get in the sun your face will burn, become red, and not work!
Overall I really am enjoying this system.. it's one of the VERY VERY VERY few things that is clearing my skin! THE PRICE INCLUDED ALL THESE: Advanced Face wash: 4.0 oz ($8.27) Clearing treatment 1.6 oz (box of 2 so one bottle is 0.8 oz ) ($8.27) Pads (90 pads ($6.88) Hydrating therapy 2.0 oz ($7.99)

Pros:
clears skin
makes pores smaller
skin is brighter
gets rid of red marks on skin!
softer skin
increases confidence :D
Cons:
works slowly need patience
can make skin feel a little dry
Okay, so I've been using this product for like a week and a half and I seriously see the difference. My skin is WAY softer. My forehead is totally clearing up and so is my chin. My cheeks still have these little bumps, but they will go soon. I have like 3 noticeable pimples but I think they shall be leaving soon, We'll see! Try this product out seriously.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
- lots of moisturzing components
- cures moderate to mild acne
Cons:
- can be over irritating due to bp in cleanser and the microbeads
- doesnt include moisturizer

it works for those with mild ot moderate acne, those with moderately-severe/ severe acne should go on the regime or a dermo each step has moisturizing compenents so its not over drying at all! ill rate a four cause it ALMOST cleared my moderately severe acne

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Works kind of like proactive
Cons:
-didnt work
-too much hassle
-expensive
-dries skin
I didnt like this AT ALL. It was expensive, it was a hassle, and it DID. NOT. WORK. I did it for two whole months, and nothing changed.... NOTHING! If your acne is so severe that you try this stuff, you might as well go to a pharmacy and pick up some Woman or Men one-a-day-for-teen (or adults) brand vitamins. Those seemed to help my little sis who had bad acne, and it cleared her right up. Check out the baking soda mask too, that works for most.
Pros:
* Smells good
* Cheap
* It does leave your face clean
