Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
Caused redness & stinging.
I have oily sensitive skin and the instant I put it on my face was on fire :'( I guess its just my skin type but it didn't work for me. I thought the burn would go away after a week but it actually made my skin worse.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
This product has saved me tons of heartache in searching for another solution to my acne. I started using this product about two years ago and there is no looking back. I couldn't leave the house to run to the store without make-up before.
Cons:
It is a bit pricey, but now i just time it with clinique bonus time and it seems like a great treat.
My complexion is completly clear now and has been since i started using it. For those of you who had terrible outbreaks with it, it sounds ike maybe an allergic reaction, also it may take up to 6 weeks for your skin to cleanse itself and for the product to work its magic. I highly reccomed this to anyone having acne troubles.
I had tried everything including Acutane which is really harsh and quite dangerous. I had struggled with acne since my teens and now i don't have to worry about it. My only wish is i'd found it sooner.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
As a 46 yo woman I have struggled with acne for 36 yrs. This stuff ia the best acne product for adult skin that I have ever used. It is gentle yet effective. My skin is smooth and bump free for the first time in my life. I swear by it!
Cons:
I have not experienced anything negative with this product and I have using it for 2 1/2 years.
Amazing product for all types of acne; excellent for adult/mature skin. It has truly helped my severe adult acne and I am able to go make-up free. In addition the soap is the best I have ever used and has also helped acne on my back. It is non-drying and leaves my skin feeling smooth, clean, and clear. Moisturizer is gentle, smells awesome and is non-greasy.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Skin feels smooth, clears up acne in the beggining
Cons:
after a few week, it stops working, its expencive to order online. seems as though it bleached my skin, so my face is whiter than the resat of my body. after a while it seems like its not working at all.
I wouldnt recommend it, all the hype is a load of crap. they have obviously air brushed their pictures online. I was expecting great skin, and it didn't happen. i wouldnt bother again.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE 'SENSITIVE' LINE.
Works for a while
Cons:
Stops working after about 2 months (almost as if your face has built up immunity to it or something).
Oil-free moisturizer gives skin an oily appearance (-_-)
I would recommend it if they sold all the products half the size they are now (half the price also), so it finishes when it stops working.

Pros:
smells nice

EVERYTHING! please don't buy this product. I was trying to clear up some pimples, so I used this product and it gave me terrible acne all over my face.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Great price when compared to stuff like ProActiv. No bad smells. Worked great for the first month!
Cons:
After the first month it went down hill. It just doesn't seem to do anything now. My skin will not respond to it.
Maybe if you only had very light acne it would work - and continue to work.
