Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Cons:
Didnt really work that well. It also left my skin really dry-its kind of harsh.
buy if you have a few pimples you need to clear up.
August 8, 2008
Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Clears up some areas of my face, brightens the face
Cons:
I still have pimples and those red marks that those acnes left when i used AcneFree are too obvious that people often comment about it. =(
It works in some ways but it didn't totally clear up my acne marks. I've been using it for three weeks now and just when i thought of buying the Power Pimple Peel, i read some "not-so-good" reviews about it, that how it doesn't peel the face, etc. Now, i'm just problematic!
I still recommend it for maybe less severe cases or maybe other skin types.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
-Doesn't irritate my skin at all
-Clears up acne
-Doesn't hurt when I put it on
Cons:
Can't think of any right now
The smell could be better, actually.
This is my system:
When I shower, at night, I use clinique extra strength on my face, chest and back to get rid of dirt and other crap on my skin. After my shower, I put the Neutrogena On-The-Spot Acne Treatment on my face, chest and back. I only use the Neutrogena at night, once a day so to not irritate my skin.
Within 5 days after using this system consistently, I saw improvement in my blemishes. They seem to be going through the whole cycle more quickly. However, you can't stop using it for a few days after doing it consistently because it can cause the blemishes to return quickly.
I love this stuff, and I would recomend it to anyone with moderate acne. I don't know if it is strong enough for severe acne.
But, seriously, try it!

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
I bought the kit and it helped a little.
Cons:
It dries out your skin and it didn't take my acne away it only helped a little.
It didn't work for me but it seems to work for all of these people.
August 4, 2008
Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Smells good, feels good
Easy Instructions
Cleanser really deep cleans
Cons:
I paid $39.99 for it
Small containers
The cleanser's beads are a little scratchy
i have only used these products for 1 day - and already my skin feels better. The box states what "severe" acne is - and it's on the money which makes me think this is going to work! it says that it also fades scars - we'll see! i had a HUGE cyst and it went down overnight with the night cream - no joke! this thing felt like it had a mind of it's own.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
well... it smells decent .
gets rid of shinyness (if u have any)
it works for the first week or two
Cons:
BAD commercial.. rip off definately .
NOT the same results you'd expect.
DRYS OUT YOUR SKIN..my skin had NEver felt soooo dry before. which made me break out even worse. obviously like peeling off layers of your skin
if it works for you go ahead.
for me?? well it didnt really...
it stripped my skin off just making my skin irritated && red .
acne goes away within a week or two..
but since it strips off your skin ( F.Y.I i have t-zone skin and my skin is mid- sensitive) its going to leave redness behind

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Works extremely well on most types of acne.
Cons:
Gotta keep using it to stay acne free, but it's no big deal to me.
I went to a dermatologist, and he had me get Differin. I didn't have enough patience for it to start working. My girlfriend was suing this stuff for a couple weeks and she said it worked for her. I didn't believe her until I finally tried it out for myself. Immediate results. I have some type of skin condition called Kerutosis Polaris (no clue how to spell it), and it was the only thing I have ever used in my life that cleared it up off my face. Acne too. This is an amazing product. Don't buy ProActive.
August 3, 2008
Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Clears little bumps within a few weeks, and clears redness.
Cons:

if you have very mild acne use it,
more severe, get something else. seriously.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
Does make my skin really red, dosen't makes me fleck, dosen't burn! Helps manage my skin.
Cons:
The container is small. I'm keeping track of it so I will know just how much I will need with the amount I use.
I had to stop using my prescribed med, so I needed something FAST! I found this, and I think I might just switch over to it. I don't feel the need to hide when I first put it on, let my original stuff, I actually look good. Best of all it seems to help my acne almost as good as my 5% bp stuff. Becuase it's not harsh, helping my skin to look great!
August 2, 2008
Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Does the job! Has helped me stay completely clear ever since using it.
Cons:
The bottle isn't travel-friendly (big) and the nozzle keeps breaking
I'm a female in my early 20's with mostly mild acne. Ever since using this product, it has helped tremendously from keeping ANYTHING from forming on my face. I love the fact that it doesn't have any smell and it absorbs relatively fast. Before coming across acne.org, I used to have to pay visits to the dermatologist just to get the same old medicine all the time-wasting time as well as money. This product is VERY affordable for its amount and affectiveness.
Bottom line: IF YOU WANT TO TREAT ACNE EFFECTIVELY WITHOUT WASTING 100'S OF DOLLARS, BUY THIS!
Pros:
Leaves face feeling fresh and tingly.
