Cons:
Takes up to six weeks to completely work, and it's like you're starting all over again if you miss one day of using it. Expensive

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The best that I ever used to get clear skin.
Cons:
Too expensive for people who live on minimal income.
I had problems with Rosacea for a long time...dermatologist prescribed a cream or ointment to put on my face...didn't work too well...my skin kept breaking out on and off and some times so bad that it itches and is so red that I look ugly. Then I took a chance and bought Proactiv and after starting using it I haven't got Rosacea since. It is over a year ago since I had it. I get a lot of compliments for my skin. I am 74 years old.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
I have mild acne and within 3 weeks of using this gel I didnt have a single zit on my face.
Cons:
A little bit of drying occurs, but it gets better over time. Now I barely have to put any moisturizer on at all because my skin is used to it.
If you're not convinced... buy the product and try it out!! That's what I did... it's not expensive, and now I'm a believer!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Works pretty fast
Cons:
Doesnt work long, or with continuous use, Makes face dry
Don't get me wrong, i use the stuff daily, but if i stop for a while, i'll break out or w/e, and when i start using Proactive again it clears up pretty quickly. But the prolonged use, drys your skin

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
for few days it does cover up skin.
Cons:
ridiculous. skin burns, works for couple of days then BAM breakouts.. doesn't work at all.
looks, if you're here with severe acne that you're looking it up on the internet, then its pretty bad. proactiv is like a JOKE, for those whose acne is nothing compared to what we've had to endure. if you're educated, you'll know all it does is that it blocks the pores, which will only cause HUGE mountains of puss. clever marketing strategies i belive though, "results immediately" yeah results, not effectiveness you morons. results as in the outcome of an action. for me, it was huge breakouts. BOTTOM LINE, if you wanna handle your acne sersiouly, proactiv COME on, what a joke..

Works as is said. :)
