Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
YOU HAVE TO USE A LOT OF MOISTURIZER BECAUSE PROACTIVE DRIES OUT YOUR SKIN. PLUS REDNESS OCCURS, WHICH REALLY SUCKS.
THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE. MY FACE RIGHT NOW IS AT ITS WORST, THANKS TO PROACTIVE. FOR SOME PEOPLE IT WORKS BUT IT IS NOT A PRODUCT FOR ME. I HAD CLEAR SKIN WITH MINOR BLEMISHES. NOW I HAVE TO WEAR MAKE UP TO COVER UP THE UGLY PIMPLES. I USE TO ONLY WEAR POWDER, NOW I HAVE TO APPLY FOUNDATION TOO!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
works for a little while.
Cons:
Stains clothing, your skin gets dependent on it so if you stop using it you break out again.
I didn't need this product but my aunt had bought it and after she received it realized she ordered the wrong thing. It was never opened so she gave it to me. I heard all the rave reviews so I decided to try it. I got the occasional zit so I figured it couldnt hurt. I used it for awhile and when I ran out I just didnt order anymore since I never really had a need for it anyway. Big Mistake. As soon as I stopped using it I broke out constantly. And I noticed all of my clothes and towels were stained with huge bleach spots. So now I am stuck with zits and I need to buy new clothes. Thanks Proactiv!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
So far it seems to be clearing and preventing new acne, doesn't dry instantly, spreads nicely, doesn't leave behind the white reisdue of neutrogena on the spot.
Cons:
It makes my forhead and nose shiny, It's not a greasy shiny though because I tried wiping it away or rubbing it in but it's already dry!
This product is wonderful, to solve my problem above I use the neutrogena on the spot for my forhead and nose then I use Dan's BP for the rest of my face.
September 27, 2007
Pros:
Cleared up acne on forhead which was main problem. Not an endall but keeps it in check if your consistent with cleaning and treatment (cream). It does dry if over applied but all acne creams do this. A good mosturizer (non-comodegenic)can balance
Seems to help with diet alterations such as increased water intake, less sugar and fried foods.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Definite improvement. I get fewer pimples and less of the really bad ones. My skin is not perfect but rarely embarrasses me anymore. No more of the pus filled zits, only bumps. I like the mask
Cons:
Expensive, doesn't work perfectly. But, I sometimes get lazy and don't use the toner every time.
Won't get rid of EVERYTHING but gets you to a point where you only need a bit of makeup to look like you have perfect skin.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
It doesn't dry quickly, easy to spread.
Cleared up my breakouts within a week (a miracle!)
A very large quantity and it doesn't smell.
Cons:
Sometimes is leaves a burning sensation on my face if I don't use moisturizer (at night). Otherwise its fine. It does dry your skin like all benzoyle products but thats what moisturizer is for.
This product give you the most bang for your buck. 4 OZ is more than enough for a long time. The consistency of the gel is much better than any spot treatment or those little 1 OZ tubes that other companies make. I've used alot of different benzoyle products and various acne treatments and this one has worked the best.
September 25, 2007
Pros:
cream is odor-free, spreads easily
Cons:
pills are probably snake oil
The best benzoyl peroxide cream I've found. No nasty smell like some brands. Cream is thin and spreads easily unlike some thicker brands. Makes my face feel light and clean. I buy the two-part system (since they're not sold separately) and throw away the pills. You can buy the men's or women's version since the cream is the same.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
made my skin feel smooth and refreshing. didnt dry out my skin like most creams.
i liked the mask too.
Cons:
Didn't work.
Didn't work for me. I break out probably with 4-5 pimples a week and this treatment didnt do a darn thing.
Pros:
WELL IT SMELLS ALRIGHT. AFTER THE FIRST STEP YOUR FACE FEELS REALLY FRESH N CLEAN.
