Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
skin becomes soft and future blemishes go away in less days than they would on their own. skin looks clearer and more balanced.
Cons:
products stains/bleaches everything the cleanser and cream touches. does not have a moisturizer so i wouldn't consider this product for dry conditioned skin/ areas on face. a little expensive. my blemishes are still coming back at same places on face
it's worth a try if you have the money and the patience (to not have anything colored near you when using it (clothes, wash cloth, pjs, etc...)). It took me a little while to understand what was causing the bleaching... so i ended up with a brand new pj and sheet set ruined... I think the 1-2 min scrubbing the face with the cleanser is not necessary and would actually maybe provoke more blemishes. After I finish with the products, I'll try something else if the main ingredient to use is BP. Oh! and if travelling close bottles firmly as the toner and cleanser tend to drip.

Product used: Klear Action (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Readily available, good price, it works!
Cons:
leaking bottle, initial break out, I always use cleanser and toner up faster than lotion
23 and have been searching for a product to work since I was a teenager. When I first started using KA for the first 2 weeks it gave me the worst acne break out I have ever had. I apprehensively stuck with it and after those first weeks my skin cleared up and has been wonderful ever since (8-9 months). The toner can be somewhat harsh at first so use sparingly at first just in case it stings for you, it did a little for me but no longer does. I use a very small amount of the lotion because too much and it will feel heavy. As in all things consistency is key with this product, if I miss one time you will see in on my face. I have also experienced the toner bottle leaking while traveling. The small inconviences I have found while using this product are heavily outweighed by the fact that this product works. My skin is now acne free and it has even done well at lessing the marks from previous break outs. It worked wonderfully for me, hope it works for you.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
okayy this stuff really sucks!! i mean the first two days that i used it my skin was glowing and shiny and smooth but it would burn when i used it!!
Cons:
but its been more than a week and my face is really in pain! it burns and is irratating the whole three step process burnt my skin!and now my skin is very red and dry.
if you have sensitive skin DO NOT buy this product because it burns really bad and once you quit you break out worse!i hardly have acne!just small acne whichis hardly noticeable!but once you stop using it for good you might break out a little bit but it will go away on its own!! try noxeema its GREAT!

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel)
Pros:
Really helps oily skin and de-angries pimples.
Cons:
Causes peeling + redness initially.
I think you just need to give your skin extra time to adjust to this product. I jumped in the deep end, put too much on and ended up looking like a flaky satsuma plum... I didn't have bad cheeks acne wise, so I stopped using it on them for a while but broke out; I started with a tiny tiny tiny amount and very sneakily buit up to the full amount, which now doesn't bother my skin in the slightest. My forehead didn't seem to mind so much, was full of gunk, I think the PanOxyl was spending it's time attacking my acne and not irritating my skin =D My skin is getting exponentially better now that I've found an balanced and amicable relationship with my PanOxyl :)

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
the cleanser felt refreshing, and the toner did not sting
Cons:
my acne was pretty much the same, it just felt not as dry.
for what it is, it is expensive. I had recieved proactive as a gift and when I ran out I looked for it and found out the price and said, heck no. If it was $20 maybe but not $49.
