Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Cons:
very expensive
ive just recently switched from proactiv to the clinique three step, and i have to say the difference for me is quite remarkable, the redness in my spots is nearly completely gone, my face already feels a lot smoother. All in all im glad i spent the extra money on this, especially if it keeps working the way it has been already. I also got a free mascara and 'take the day off' makeup remover. :)

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Prevents new breakouts
Cons:
Does nothing for already existing acne
Does nothing for acne marks
Did not clear up my skin
I would only reccomend this product to prevent acne, not to fight already existing acne. As I stated above, it does nothing for already existing acne or acne marks but it did keep new breakouts at bay. Therefore, for acne sufferers, it leaves you just as bad/good as you started.

Pros:
Skin feels nice after wash
Reduces black heads and pimples!
Cons:
At first after washing skin feels a bit dry
I've never really had bad acne and never really had many pimples until recently. My face broke out badly on one side of my face and then the other side was beginning. I wanted to try the whole 3- steps solution and so I did and I'm glad I did cuz my face has never felt smoother and it got rid of my little problem. I suggest a moisturizer after it cuz it may feel a bit dry. Oh and every once in a while, at least 2 times a week after washing face use a scrub, then apply the lotion. :)

Product used: Derma-e (DMAE Alpha Lipoic C-Ester Retexturizing Creme)
Pros:
not oily, nice texture.
Reduces redness and inflammation
Anti aging
Cons:
none
I love this cream. I use retin a micro and reversa (glycolic acid) about 4 times a week. For the rest of the week i am always looking for a great moisturizer that will calm the redness and flakiness without breaking me out. This one is just perfect.
Really calm redness and irritation from retin a micro.
Moisturizes very well (eliminates flakiness)
Not oily, doesn't clog pores.
Anti aging My skin definitely looks better when this cream is part of my regimen. Right now my acne is very well controlled with retin a micro and diane 35.
I dont think this cream would cure acne on its own, but i think it is a wonderful moisturizer that helps me tolerate my acne meds better.
With this cream, i can use my retin a up to 4 nights a week and my skin looks perfectly calm (no redness) and perfectly moisturized.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
My skin wasn't oily
Improved acne a little bit
Cons:
Didn't help my huge blackheads
Did nothing for cystic acne
Expensive
Time-consuming
I used Proactiv for three years. It was okay, and my acne was improved a little bit. I still had large, awful blackheads constantly, and I broke out a lot on top of that. I don't mind paying for acne treatments, but it was very expensive - too expensive for something that hardly worked at all. Finally I got tired of the big, inflamed blackheads that took months to go away and came back immediately, so I stopped using it. The only good thing about it was that my skin was never oily, which was a pretty big plus for me. Even so, I wouldn't recommend it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I don't get whiteheads, just occasionally some blackheads which is normal. The skin is less oily which is good.
Cons:
over applying the toner and lotion makes my face reddish and sensitive to sun and sea water.
For me, the cleanser and sulfur mask are the only thing i found it effective. Toner and lotion are rubbish. The good thing is that they can be bought separately which is good.

Product used: Pacnex (Benzoyl Peroxide (4.25%) or (7%) Cleanser)
Pros:
-very clean feeling
-clears skin well at night
Cons:
-very oily feeling
I have very, very oily skin to begin with, and it seems that Pacnex and the other two meds I am on (Ziana and Doryx) it making my face soooo much oilyer. But all in all any of the GOOD meds like these are just doing there job, by making your face "breakout" the pimples have to get out of your skin, and these meds are doing so. PATIRNCE plays a big part in taking any prescribed medicine. I have only been taking for 16 days, and I am seeing a little bit of difference for the better, but they have a long way too go.
Pros:
clearing my skin :)
