Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
At 13, my daughter began to have acne. She asked if we could try Proactiv. I thought we would try it first, before using a dermatologist. We got it and saw a huge difference in 2 wks. Now I use it and I am 37. It has done wonders for my skin as well.
Cons:
The bottles are too small. I feel you have to use it sparingly to make it last until they send you more product.
I know that Proactiv has worked for both myself and my daughter. It is very affordable, about $5 per week. I think the bad reviews come mostly from people who are too lazy to do it as a regimen, which is the way it is designed to work. You are not going to get the clear skin results overnight! It takes a few weeks of consistent use! I used Clinique for many years (I am 37) but it seemed to stop working. After seeing the results on my 13 yr old daughter's skin, I decided to give Proactiv a try. This stuff works great on my skin!!! But I had to give it about 3 weeks to really see the results and now people tell me my daughter and I look like sisters!!! Thanks Proactiv!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
clears up for a while
Cons:
the mask smells awful, it make my skin itchy and red, and the toner burns
I started with acne in april. I had a mild case, maybe three or four. Then i tried Mary Kay(that is bad!)which broke out my face even worse and after four months never cleared it up. So i switched to Proactiv. It worked for a while, then i got what you couldn't call severe, but pretty bad a case of acne. It says it should only take 2-3 months to cure, but i have been on this for almsot five, and i see no changes but more and more breakouts. Thanks to proactiv, i had to go to the dermatoligist.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
It leaves my skin feeling awesome...I love how smooth it is. I love Clinique products due to the allergy testing and fragrance free qualities.
Cons:
Initial flare up...but that happens with any skin care switch.
As long as you use the products twice a day and follow with an eye cream (Clinique All About Eyes) and a booster moisturizer (Clinique Super Defense) your skin will not dry out or become irritated. Any consultant will tell you that. Plus Super Defense promotes good wrinkle prevention.

Product used: Nature's Cure (Two-Part Acne Treatment System for Males)
Pros:
I didn't take the pills cuz I don't play that pill sh*t but the cream was awesome and the body spray was the shizzle.
Cons:
none
Just the cream alone worked for me so for you people out there that are having a warm time with the pills....Ditch um and use the cream and body spray....

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Just perfect it really works ,
i can stop using this and my acne wont grow. i am happy i always had 2-3 pimples.. big or small but it goes away fast with this product.
Cons:
The marks stays... , can't go outside when i use this.. the sun will burn , my back on my head got burned.. it really hurted... it got to do with this cream so be careful. don't use this then go outside on the sun.
I guess i am lucky , 70% of people in here it didn't work.. I am so sorry about you guys and i hope you all get better. but this thing really works for some. as soon as 1 pimple grow it goes away in a day! or 2.. but i had lots of pimple before it was horrible
i never went out , i stayed home :( i am like i am gonna wait till i get rid of this pimples when it goes away i am going to find a job and then go college eventually.
August 13, 2007
Pros:
it worked by the next day! on day 2 i found that my pimples were getting smaller
Cons:
got twice as many pimples then i usually get when i stopped using the stuff.
this is a great product to use if you have impossible acne..it might not work as fast as you hope but it really works. for me on the other hand, i'm in high school and i play sports all year round, i sweat alot and after i started a season my acne kept coming back but once the season ended and i had a 3 week break until the next season my acne would disappear with this product.
Pros:
it's works a little
