Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
This product worked really well for me. Cleared my acne.
Cons:
Dried skin around my mouth. I got a couple of pimples when I skipped a use.
Worked for me (I dont have sensitive skin). Dried my skin around my mouth but cleared my acne. You have to stay dedicated to it and it took around 3 months to completly clear my acne.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
cleared up my acne quickly, almost overnight. it's amazing.you don't need to use a lot so one bottle should last you a while.
Cons:
left my skin a little dry. it burned a little when i first started using it, but i have sensitive skin and the effects stopped after a few days. also the packaging is a little manish. i thought it was a men's product when my sister first go it for me
i like it. it works better than clean and clear.if u have sensitive skin, be careful, but that goes for anything.
