Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Cons:
Dries out face, for sure. I use Dan's method and add moisturizer after about 10 minutes once I see the Panoxyl dries on my skin. Will probably cause redness at first but do not be alarmed for this is only temporary and will go away shortly.
Great stuff!! Simple, yet effective. Use it as part of your daily defense against acne though be sure to use a good moisturizer (See Dan's recommendation). This stuff will get rid of your acne. I think you'll only find a small minority of people who say it wont (They probably are using it properly). Go out and get it, you'll thank me later!

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
Helps contain breakouts, easy to find in stores
Cons:
Expensive, not a miracle cure, clumps up when applying
I will usually get a couple large annoying pimples each month, and they will stick around for a couple weeks. I also have slightly blotchy skin. This product seems to "contain" any breakouts and clear up the skin somewhat, but it does take several days to clear. Since my acne is very minor, I only use this as a reactive and not proactive solution. But it is better than nothing.

Nothing Worked for Me
Mask dried up my skin like hell
I seriously suggest u read this.If u just got the product and wanna know if it "Works" or not. I used this coz my acne was extremely bad that ppl wud notice it and made me feel embarrassed most of the time. So I NEEDED an acne treatment so I got proactiv. within 3 days i had only ONE PIMPLE LEFT and it was so small too! I was very happy so i kept using the proactive 3 system. Then, guess what? they came back. and they wudn't go away. To top to my current problem, the mask wud make my face SOOO DRY that it wud look even WORSE than it did before I used proactiv. then, I stopped using proactiv and switched over to exposed acne solution. Miracle after using it for a week. I HAD NO ACNE!! just a little. Now I have a very pink complexion, which doesn't look bad at all. So for me PROACTIV SUCKS!!!!

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
not too irritating, can get it at my local drug store,
Cons:
cream based, small, too expensive
when compared with Dan's BP, i have to say that this loses. Dan's is cheap, its gel based so it goes on clear and dries quickly, and you can order larger quantities. For people who are apprehensive about buying online, don't be. Give Dan's product a try. If you really prefer the convenience of running to CVS and picking this up, then go for it. Its a good product.
