Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It did clear pimples the first couple times i used it.
Cons:
I broke out real bad after like a week of use. I called the info line and they told me that was supposed to happen and keep using and buying. So I did and my face burned.
It works but I guess I might be allergic to something in it. I dont know how many other people got the same reaction as me.
July 5, 2008
Pros:
I could feel a difference after the first day... Drys up pimples real quick, and prevents new ones.
Cons:
Does dry out skin somewhat... If you have oily skin and use a harsh wash that needs lotion after you wash you can't replace the cream for your lotion...
Worked great.. Only been using it for two months, my skin is completely clear, we'll see how happens a few months down the road.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
It's an amazing product! I have had acne for 2 years and it wouldn't go away. I used this for 3 days and i am now 100 % clear! My skin has a beautiful glow and looks extremely healthy! I didn't even suffer any redness or peeling, it's just great!
Cons:
Shipping costs + additional cost.. But overall totally worth it :)
Do NOT hesitate, this is probably the best solution to acne out there.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
Works good for me, reduces pimples in a day, and their clear by day 2 or 3.
Cons:
a little expensive for a small tube, but it lasts me awhile.
i dont put this on my whole face, just a little on my chin, and a little on my forhead. so it lasts me around 2 months. but it works good at keeping me clear.

Cons:
A Lil Pricey
For being a 23 year old male and dealing with Acne since 18....Im seeing results!!! I've been using Clinique now for almost a week and i honestly am seeing results. From starting out years ago with Clearasil (sp?) etc then to Proactiv (which caused me to breakout even more) Dr. Murad, then on Minocyclene and then used Aveda (Outer Peace Acne Kit *caused me to break out in paupils which hurt*) then Dr. Wexler Acnescription (Which was good but then the moisturizer and peel caused me to sting everyother day I used it) and now using Clinique Im seeing results!! I use the 3 kit system but i bought the bigger bottles. I do the regimen as it says use the pump wash then the lotion exfoiliater, then a not even a pea size of the BP (in the morning cause I react to BP i get too dry) then i use the Moisture Surgeâ„¢ Extended Thirst Relief to help relieve my dryness and blot off the excess then use the acne solutions concealer stick to help minimize my blemishes etc.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
The best and fastest treatment for my acne that i have ever used! I've tried many things like doxycyclin, erythromycin, retin-a micro, stridex, clean and clear advantage, BUT THIS BEATS THEM ALL. EVEN WORKED BETTER THAN TEA TREE OIL!
Cons:
It can darken the area around the pimple you apply it on, but it peels off in a matter of days. It does not scar! i reapeat, does not scar.
This is the best five dollars i have ever spent. I have ocassional cystic acne and i put a dab of this on a huge one and wake up to DRAMATIC results. Please don't over use this though. I have tough skin but my brother doesn't so when he loads it up like i do, it makes him red for thirty minutes. Strange thing is that i have used other BP gels and i thought that this wouldn't be any different, but it was! much better than anything I've used! And i have used EVERYTHING. Jojoba oil, tea tree, you name it. This along with drinking lemonade for a week will clear you up in no time.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Smells good. Created by derms. Accessibility is good if your local mall has a kiosk that sells it. Works if used correctly.
Cons:
EXPENSIVE!! Too many bottles if you need the whole kit. Acne returns worse even if you only miss one day. Doesn't work for cystic acne.
It works if you use it consistently but for the price you're going to pay and the aggravation of having to use all those bottles of product, it doesn't seem worth it. Plus the ads are not convincing when you know the actors and actresses have all been "touched-up" with makeup before they're on camera (I have family in the film industry). Don't waste your money and time. See a derm or your family physician for assistance. Mine said more and more of his patients are using Proactiv to help with cystic acne and it just isn't working. So don't bother. My situation was only slightly different because that wasn't the only time I used an OTC that was so popular. Topicals just don't work for some people. If you're the same way, you're better off using an internal (pill or injection) and getting better results.
Pros:
Works most the time
