Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Cons:
Drying
Yes, it can be drying but honestly that cannot be the reason why you do not buy this product. All acne solutions are drying because they have 'drying agents' in them. The bottom line is you should buy this product if you want to some results. Now to be truthful, the results do not come extremly fast. But this product is one of the best products i have tried. Also, it comes with other things like the 'emergency lotion'.
If you are not sure if you want to buy this product, get a trial kit. It last for about a month and you do not have to spend alot of money of it.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Great product, fantastic, works very fast, in my case I have oil skin with not severe acne, 4 days after use the acne is gone.
Cons:
to be honest is the fragance (smell), but you know, it is not ment as a perfume. So it is not important. It works perfectly according to it purpose.
Normally I don't recommend products, but this is is a must if you have ever had skin problems. I recommend it 100%.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I found when i first used it, my skin was BEAUTIFUL! It was smooth, soft, looked great and the acne was gone! Unfortunately it was too good to be true..
Cons:
Eventually, I broke out. If i didn't use it one night Id have tons of pimples the next day.. And now my acne is back and it won't go away despite my diet and sun exposure and using it as consistently as possible..
So basically, I'm now looking for a new product. It's just not worth using it for the price and inconsistency of it. Ive been using proactive for a little less than a year and the final result is Don't Buy It!! save your money go buy some shoes and use something else.. I don't know what but Proactive is a quick fix that doesn't last like in the Ads.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
My skin is 90% clear, whereas I used to break out all over my face and have large, painful pimples.
Cons:
My skin is always flaky and dry after application, then later in the day becomes very oily. Also, red spots have still not disappeared, despite much less frequent breakouts.
I used to break out very badly in middle school and high school. I visited a dermatologist a few times, but there was no effect at first and I became discouraged. About a year ago I finally bought some Proactiv. At first I used the cleanser, toner, and repairing lotion religiously. My skin is pretty fair, so my face was always noticeably redder than the rest of my body. Now, I think my hormones are finally beginning to settle and I've learned to manage stress better. I now use only the cleanser and the moisturizer, and spot treat pimples with the mask. My face is slowly regaining moisture and it seems like the redness is going away. However, I still get flaky skin after application. Also, I would like to say that I have been using the same full set for an entire year. I don't apply much at a time to avoid overdrying. I'm not sure if the improvement is due to Proactiv or because I'm growing up, but I will continue using it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It clearned up my pimples expecailly on checks and forehead and also whitten my skin which got the black scar away... No more blackhead around my nose and my skin so much smooth
Cons:
It dries my skin out but its O.K course i add a bit of lotion on top of the dry area.. around my mouth area more pimples came out (maybe course im getting my period) It stings a bit and my face is red after i put on the mostiruster but it goes down
Its a great profuct but does not always work for every one. Every one have different skin type.
As for me i got senstive skin and usally i get rash from using mositure but proactive didnt seem to do any hard. Its expensive but works well. It takes time before you can seee results.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I used this product 3 years ago when I was in South East Asia and it completely cleared my skin. But it didn't seem to work well when I moved to Canada, a much colder drier climate, so I stopped using it.
Cons:
Didn't work well in winter/dry climate than in summer/hot/humid climates for me. This might be an individual thing.
Worked as long as it didn't dry up my skin. Now that I'm back in a sunnier part of the world, I'm thinking of giving it a try again. Also it's not that expensive if use the special offer price on TV.
