Product used: Quinoderm ((5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream)
Pros:
Cheap
Works
Cons:
Bleaches clothes
I tried this after trying various salicylic acid combos with little success. This has an immediate effect. Skin was tighter, drier and acne was clearing. The only problem is that it bleaches clothes. I've had to toss out 3 t-shirts and two towels due to very obvious bleaching. Not a good thing if you're trying to keep your acne battles private

Product used: DDF (Acne Scrub)
Pros:
2.5% benzoyl peroxide formulation with minimal ingredients.
Cons:
Expensive.
Has "scrub" particles that are potentially irritating.
This is an excellent product; however, it must be used carefully because it is a scrub and potentially irritating to the skin. I (very gently) use it to wash my back and shoulders instead of applying 2.5% BP gel, and it seems to be as effective (and it is certainly more convenient) than applying the gel. Washing with BP may not have the same potency as using a gel, but it seems to work for me. (I actually leave it on my skin for a few minutes before rinsing it off). Because of the scrub, I think this product is inappropriate for the face. If you have moderate bacne, consider giving this a go if you can afford it. As a note, I use the DDF non drying gentle cleanser on my face (32$).

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
nothing
Cons:
made my skin dry and break out worst then ever before
This company should be out of business they should feel shame having all those famous people promoting they sh*t face products .
I bought proactive after I had my son I starting getting pimples I didn't have an acne problem but I had a few pimple on my face between 5-10
I order proactive over the phone and waited 1 month and it never came so I gave them a call back and they said that they had the wrong address and sent it to me
If came in the mail 3 weeks later after 1 week of using this sh*t I started to get these red pimple on my cheek . I never in my life had any pimple on my cheek. My problem areas always been my chine
I spoke with a girl at the mall who worked for proactive she told me that's its normal for this to happen just keep using the product and within a month it should go away so I continue using proactive and my face just got worst
Now I have this redish brownish color scars on my face its been months and they havnt went away. Thanks proactive

June 22, 2010
Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
it reduced redness and it got rid of many of my small pimples. it also smells nice and makes my face feel smooth and look clean
Cons:
it dried out my skin a lot in the first week and its expensive.It doesnt really help my large pimples
I'd recommend it. It worked for me. The only thing that keeps me from buying more of it is the cost. The service was horrible too. However, it's been the best i've used so far.
Pros:
NONE and I mean none.
