Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
It takes amonth to see results.
Proactive is going to work great for some people and not for others. people just need to give it a try and not judge the way it works in just the first few weeks but wait a month or two so your skin can get used to it.

Pros:
very good exfoliator
Cons:
everything else
made my skin so much worse. i was 10% bp it wasn't too harsh for my skin but after so long it does severely dry out skin. this product is rubbish the exfoliator is very good i must admit but i don't think any1 should ex foliate twice a day with this harsh a product. waste of money.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
Cleared up my acne really well.
Cons:
Sometimes it burns a little but not much. And you have to remember to put on sunscreen before going outside when you use this product.
This product is great. I never really breakout much but when i do it's awful. I got this product and it cleared my skin like within a day. I got mine at a high end cosmetics store so it was kinda expensive but you can find it cheaper.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Aquagel)
Pros:
worked really fast!
Cons:
dried up my lips and burned my eyes lol
i hardly had acne just a few bumps on my head and when i used MURAD that sh*t fu*ked up my face! it says all the bad crap surfaces it up and starts to clear your face. nothing worked it made my face worse, so I used PROACTIV and even PROACTIV EXTRA STRENGTH! it got me no where as well. I've used so many different products that costed me so much money. who knew 3 bucks (yes, the bar of PanOxyl was just 3 bucks) gave me a dramatic change within days. I was never confident on going out because of my face filled with acne and scarring. it has seriously changed my life. I recommend it, but just use alot of moisturizer or lotion if needed. I've suffered for so long. Just give it a try, you have nothing to lose. 3 years of suffering with acne and lack of confidence, all gone within days. and it gets better and better! as days pass and my acne clears up, I'm getting my confidence back. I could kiss they guy or whoever invented this! PanOxyl is a miracle that's under 10 bucks. hahaha

Pros:
Affordable, pills taste like nothing, it works!
Cons:
I haven't found any yet.
I've been using this for 2 weeks, and I've seen improvement already. I was using BP before I started this, so I didn't experience the drying...I'd already been through that! By far, this is the best product I've found.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
I sent off for this product hoping it would help my skin, and it did .. for a while. It goes on really clear and vanishes nicely. I don't have huge cysts like I used to.
Cons:
It's too expensive for me to get regularly. And the bottle pump-cap broke within 15 minutes of me opening the package. And after three months my acne has started to get really bad again.
This is probably the most effective product I've ever used on my skin. I use it exactly like Dan has prescribed. But it is definitely not a cure-all. I would say I am perhaps 35 to 40% more clear than I used to be. (Something is better than nothing!) So thank you Dan.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Bar)
Pros:
????
Cons:
Didn't make my acne better! Extremely drying!
I have REALLY oily skin and nothing I use can possibly dry me out...at least thats what I thought! The Panoxyl bar made my face really dry. It started peeling and even moisturizers didn't really help. I couldn't even talk or smile properly because the skin around my mouth felt like it was gonna rip and bleed if I moved it to much. I stopped using it for a couple of days and my skin went back to its normal oilyness. After I started it again, I guess my became immune to its drying effects because it never dried out like that again. You just have to make sure to only use it on the your forehead cheeks and chin (or wherever else you need it). Make sure not to get it anywhere near your eyes or the area around your mouth. In the end it didn't clear me up or make my acne even temporarily better.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
clears up acne very fast and makes your face look and feel completely clean!
Cons:
a little overdrying if youdont use moisterizer
very good product
definitly give it a try!
Pros:
It made my skin break out for the first month but thats just its way of pulling out the impurities. After it pulled the impurites out, my face cleared up quick and is still clear.
