Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Cons:
Step 2 can be a bit drying if used to frequently. Also avoid eye contact.
I use the severe acne free system and love everything about it. It has done wonders for my acne on my face and back (sholders & arms). I just wish you could purchase the three steps seperatly.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
if your acne is bad, then an improvement will be seen in about a month....but it does not get rid of the acne, makes it less severe but you are still gunna break out
Cons:
dry skin, skin feels tight, gets you really mad when results are not what they seem on the infomercials
I have been using this product for just over 1 year, my acne has gone down but i still break out. You have to stick with the product and use it twice a day or else it wont work..if you miss an application it will show. If you really cant stand your acne...like me....then consult you doctor/dermatologist and get a prescription drug. Ive spent hundreds of dollars and am finally gunna give up on this product. I want something that will clear my acne up for good.
Despite what people say about Accutane, i am willing to try and see what happens.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Started clearing up my smaller pimples on the first day. By week 4, all my pimples were gone. Makes my skin soft & smooth.
Cons:
The BP stung a lot the first few days but I kept using it daily because I wanted to get rid of my acne BADLY. My entire face was really flaky the first week, but it quickly resolved.
I was a skeptic because I've used everything from low end to high end for my acne and the acne treatments usually works the first few weeks and quits working. This has been the first product that has worked and kept working to stop my acne. Also, small insight, I had waves of breakouts before my skin cleared completely, so don't get discouraged if this happens to you.
Keep using it!
I still have dark marks from where my pimples were so I'm going to try the glycolic acid AHA cream to fade them.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
Clears up my occational bad breakouts
Cons:
Irritating
This stuff works, there is no doubt about it. But my skin was too sensitive in the long run. Here in Norway you can buy a cream that is 5%, not 10%, and I sometimes use that - but even the 5% irritates my skin if I use it more than a few days. So... try it. It is worth it, and it doesn`t cost a lot, so if it doesn`t work for you you won`t have spent a fortune. But if you have sensitive skin, don`t expect it to be your solution.

Pros:
dries up pimple fast!
Cons:
none
This really works for me!I am glad that I've found reviews about the Panoxyl acnegel 10%..I have used many over-the-counter products available in the market but none of them works including the panoxyl 2.5..Panoxyl acnegel 10% is the best acne product!a life-saver!PAW!
