Cons:
Tends To Dry Out The Face A Little, But A Good Moisturizer Should Do The Trick!(I Recommend; St.Ives Mineral Therapy)
The Product Is Great, But I Use The Clean&Clear Deep Action Exfoliating Scrub First, For A Deeper And Stronger Cleaning! Overall, Awesome Product!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
It works! No smell. Nice consistency.
Cons:
Dries out skin. I still get the occasional pimple.
I've been using this for over a year now, its the only thing that consistently works to keep me breakout free! I don't use the other acne.org products, I use AcneFree face wash and Olay Complete SPF 15 moisturizer. This is the best combination I've found, and its been working for me for about 5 months now. Only thing about this...it doesn't really stop drying out my skin. If I apply a tad bit too much, I get flaky skin out of the blue. And winter time is flake city around my eyebrows and mouth.

Pros:
Easy to use, tasteless, Affordable, Works, clears skin within weeks, by using it longer, literally, your skin texture will be clearer and smoother.
Cons:
I don't like the cream. I just toss it out. It burns my eyes and gets watery. My cheeks get itchy the next day even though I put it say on my forehead.
It's a great, affordable method to help get rid of acne. It really works. I'm not even kidding. I use to have like pimples and breakout before my period. By the time it starts to heal, I get my period again. So basically, my face is NEVER clear. I've been using this for like 2 years. I get occasional zits like one-two. That's it! Majority of the time, my face is clear and smooth. I truly love this product.
No girl should be insecure about her skin. I was one, I use to cover it up with foundation and thick concealer. Now I am soo happy that I can wear mineral makeup and wear a thin layer and that's it. Try it!!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Didn't irritate my skin like others have said.
Cons:
Worked as well ast the next product :(
Every time I use a new skin care line it works for mabye a week..then just goes right back to how my skin was. The thing is I DON'T have that bad of acne like they show in the commericials! I have uneven skin and this product just did not fix it. If I wore makeup I looked fine for a while, but definely not like they commercials have said. And I've tried it TWICE. Once as a freshman in highschool and again as a senior. I'll probably buy it agian since I like to switch it up every few months and its only $20 which is how much I'd be paying for a whole new line of products.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Easy to use. Cleared me up A LITTLE BIT.
Cons:
Only worked for about a week then it just stopped working.
It helped with really, really small pimples. But it did not help clear my face. It worked for about a week then it seemed to just stop working... I SUGGEST YOU USE EITHER THE ACNE.ORG REGIMEN OR THE WEXLER ANTI-ACNE STARTER KIT.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
It dries out your pimples , specially the red ones, it kills bacteria as claimed.
Cons:
It dries your skin severely, it leaves very red spot. After one month and a half i have black scars left from this product.
I never had that much acne, since i was exfoliating with the st ives scrub. After i few blemishes 3 i used this. It made my life a living hell. My 3 pimples got dried out. But i was left with 3 big horrible scars.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
got rid of my few blemishes, gave me soft and smooth skin
Cons:
dryyyyyy skin, like SUPERRR DRY! my face was literally cracking apart...their repairing lotion is far from a moisturizer...i stopped using proactive for 2 weeks and got my pimples back :(
Kind of pricey, however it does give me that blemish-free skin i desire. Although, a good oil-free moisturizer is essential. The benzoyl peroxide really dries out the skin.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Works well, especially the refining mask. easy to use.
Cons:
skin is terrible if you go off of it, price is high
Great product if ou can commit to it, but the price is high and the kits are annoying. why can't items be sold seperately? also your skin returns to normal (ie-BAD) as soon as you quit using it, which sucks.
Pros:
Makes Skin Feel Smooth&Reduces Acne Quickly.
