Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
Made my face red for about a year and greatly irritated and burned my skin. (oobiviously i have sensitive skin.)
Might work for you, and if you have severe acne like i did - anything is worth a try. Just if you're like me and have sensitive skin (like moi) then yoy might wanna restrain from the scrubbing face wash.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
fewer breakouts, and they heal waaaay faster.
Cons:
dries out your face ALOT for the first two weeks of use. face still gets oily in t zone, but only the tiniest pimples there once in a while.
Like any other skincare product, this must be used consistantly(twice per day!), it takes a few weeks to see results, but it reduces breakouts, and when you do get one, it lasts for 1-3 days. anyone who gets those deep pimples knows what i'm talking about. those suckers can take a week or more to go away.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
small tube is easy to fit in makeup bag
Cons:
Didn't work on my skin. It just made blemishes more noticable, red, irritated, swollen, painful. I think they took even longer to clear than not using anything! Doesn't dispense well.
Try something else.

Pros:
It worked well enough for a few years then seemed to stop over night.

It dries out your skin if you don't ease in to using it, or moisturise,
I was happy with it until it stopped working, I guess I built up a tolerance to it. I cancelled my subscription.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
clear skin. convenient. easy to use. fast results.
Cons:
bleaching of bath mat from toner? and shirt that I sleep in.
I did many prescription acne products and all of them were too harsh. I couldn't get waxed or it took too long and required daily application. If you have mild acne proactiv is good. My pores clear up totally truly breaking down the nasty stuff. It makes my skin look like I came out of a sauna. I didn't know any medication could work this well. But I don't need to use it everyday. It's more like 3 times a week every week. If you use it very often or too much of it I would imagine it would get less effective over time.

Pros:
I liked the smell, the texture, and how it made my skin feel. It worked really fast, and leaves a clean feel.
Cons:
If you are sensitive to benzoyl peroxide, don't use it.
Love that product! it was worth the money! it works great! Clears skin up really fast, the frangrance is nice, fresh, sorta like a swimming pool and fresh rain mixture, that's what it smells like, a swimming pool and fresh rain.
Pros:
Works temporarily. and works on different people -so it might work for you.
