Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
it helps with acne
Cons:
dries out skin immensely
makes skin red
I used it for a few months and it dried out my skin and made my face extremely red. It cleared up my acne a little bit but was not worth it. It took two months to get my skin back to normal afterwards. I would not recommend this at all. It killed my skin.
I started using Oxy 10% benzoyl peroxide wash and it works awesome.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
easy to use, not time consuming, smelled great.
Cons:
The price is not worth the product. I paid $60.00 for nothing but more acne.
This 3 step product worked great for about 2 weeks. It cleared up my acne and left my skin smooth & glowing. About the 3rd week it started to create more acne then I had to begin with. I had tons of tiny little white heads everywhere after a month of using this stuff. For those ppl who have only used this product for less than a month, I am willing to bet it will do the same to you.

Pros:
Does work fairly well, doesn't remove all my acne, but removes most of it.
Cons:
Does not work super fast.
I have used this for about 2-3 weeks, and it has cleared up most of my acne. I will admit that if it wasn't for this, my face would be really bad. But this stuff works really well, and I love the night cream. But, it did dry up my skin a bit, so I don't think it is for those with dry skin. My skin is pretty oily, so I think it would work for me because of that.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
got rid of 90% of my acne. works better than any other product I've ever tried. it only takes 30 sec. to wash my entire face. =)
& it is really cheap!
Cons:
in the begining there was a little irratation after use-red. makes my face a little dry after i use it. It dyed my hair at the top.
but i just use a moisturizer after i wash my face so all's good.
The product got rid of 90% of my acne.
although, I do still break out right before my period.
clean & clear will usually get rid of that break out in no time. It didnt make my skin too oily & the dryness after I use it doesnt really bother me.
I already have moderatley oily skin
so the product might not work as well on someone with dry/sensitive skin because it is 10% benzoyl peroxide.
the irratation is not all that bad; unless you are alergic to benzoyl peroxide.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
works really well!!!
Cons:
the toner dries out the skin quite a bit
i've been using this faithfully for about 8 months and i have to say i love it. although i do not use the toner cuz it really dries out my skin, the cleanser and lotion combo work really well for me. i've tried proactive which is more expensive and it did nothing. i havent had a bad breakout since i started using acnefree. i urge you to try this. :-)

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
Nothing else would reduce my spots but Panoxyl did. Only have to use a little bit so the tube lasts.
Cons:
Dries out skin -use an oil free moisturiser. Have to keep using it to get the benefit. Bleaches things!
If none of the normal products deal with your spots then try using this. Only use a little bit at a time. Wash your hands thoroughly after applying as it does bleach fabrics. If you start to get dry skin (and it can be quite bad) use some oil free moisturiser.
Pros:
none
