Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
sometimes makes skin feel fresh, thats about all
Cons:
costly
doesnt really work
as i started out with it, it sort of cleared my up, but then my skin stayed at the same amount of acne (mild) for 3 monthes.
i finally stopped using it recently and changed to something else which i got perscribed by my doctor, and its working good Dont use it, its pretty much a scam

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Eliminates acne - fast Goes on smooth - does not clump under my makeup Dries quickly and dries clear - skin felt soft to my surprise
Cons:
so far - even though I was careful to avoid the eyes it somehow crept near that area and it cause the skin under my eyes to puff up a little , very slight itching (so far) and today ever so slightly red Cant get in UK!
Have used this for a week - am very impressed so far. Skin is very close to 100% clear in just a few days. I have mild but consistent acne.
I am hoping I do not experience any "initial breakout"
Am worried also about my skin becoming dependant on it.
The best bp I have ever used - very convenient and easy to wear in daytime too.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Works amazingly well. Goes on clear, which is a step up from the neutrogena 2.5 BP.
Cons:
Contrary to what is stated in the products description it does clump up under make-up, but in the scheme of things I dont care. My skin is fantastic thanks to this stuff and the neutrogena BP.
Use it! It is cost effective, goes on nicely and it has improved my skin 100%. I feel as though the neutrogena 2.5 BP might work a little better for my skin so I rotate which BP I use just because it has been working for me and using this BP keeps the cost down. However, I must prefer the consistancy and feel of this product. It soaks in better and it goes on clear so I don't have to wander around the house at night looking like a ghost.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Started working after just a few weeks. Skin felt smoother, fewer breakouts
Cons:
After about a month, month and a half, my skin became extremely red from the cleaser. It started flaxing but was still really greasy feeling. My breakouts came back as well. Definitely not worth the money.
Will not use again. Not worth the money or trouble

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
None really. The mask is not horrible for spot treatments.
Cons:
Pretty much everything. I bought it for my teenage son, and from the beginning, he wasn't able to tolerate the toner or the "repairing lotion" (a misnomer if ever there was one). The cleanser seemed to make things much redder and more inflamed.
Don't use this product! It's a racket and the "club" is the biggest scam going. The customer service reps were really nasty when I tried to withdraw. I don't understand the celebrity endorsements but I guess money talks. DO NOT USE!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Can actually leave skin feeling fresh.
Cons:
A little bit too expensive.
I suffer from what is called 'vanity acne'. Only a real problem for me, i mean whe i talk about skin problems with others, they simply reply with 'you have good skin. what are you talking about?'. I looked to ProActive to acheive the flawless complexion that we all strive for. I found that when i started using ProActive though, my skin actually got worse. I had more spots than I ever did before. Once i discontinued use, my skin reverted back to it's old self. Although i get the odd spot once and a while, it's bearable and nothing a bit of concealer can't hide.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
-Evens skin tone
-Feels refreshing and clean
-Works!
Cons:
-Moderate to severe drying
This product does have the unfortunate effect of drying your skin a lot, but after using for a couple of weeks, that reaction seemed to fade. I have seen significant improvement in my skin. I have not seen this much change in any other product that I've used!

Product used: Triaz (Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser)
Pros:
In a couple of days, the acne on my back and chest completly cleared up. As long as you use it frequently, it works wonderfully.
Cons:
Once you stop using it, acne comes back.
One of the best acne products I've ever used and I highly suggest it to those suffering from mild to severe acne.
Pros:
makes skin soooo soft and smoothe it minimized my pores and cleared up acne right after i washed my face i noticed a difference! I LOVE THIS!
