I have recommended the Kick *ss formula to others I know that have stopped using similar items on the market due to the cost.
Try it once and I'm sure you will agree, great product and great results.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
clears up most acne, smells nice
Cons:
repair lotion bottle is smaller than others and is used up faster
this stuff works! its pretty easy to use, but you have to be consistant, some people have said that it makes their skin feel oily, but i disagree
i use this along with a prescription spot treatment, so im sure that helps, but still...

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
it helps with some of the oil on my face
Cons:
it dries out the skin a lot and i still have a lot of pimples. and i don't like the cleanser at all
proactiv is no more special than any other acne product i've used (i have yet to find something that works for me) it's not worth the money

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
Everything used to make the product.
I've never used it but I do have just a few pimples that usually go away in time and I was recommended it. Read the comments and no. Absolutely not. I am not ordering this and will gladly tell anyone I know not to; it's as if there's a 20/100 percent chance that it'll work for you. Not good enough. Honestly, I would recommend drinking plenty of water and having a balanced diet of eating all 5 food groups a day than using this toxic waste. Besides I've done some research and it states that a change in your daily routine causes an imbalance of hormones which then causes blemishes to appear, and that usually relates to your sleeping habits, so I'd recommend that to anyone first, also. Hm, but that's such a hard decision... what do I do? Inserting crap into my skin or live a healthy, balanced life? I think I'll go with the latter. =P

i've been using this product for well over a month now, and i'm also on the pill to help because i have really really bad acne that leaves really bad scars and i don't even pick it at all. But, so far, nothing's worked. I've even gone to dermatologists.

Product used: Benzac AC (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Gel)
Pros:
Dries acne very fast, also gets rid of white spots. Also dries your skin, so you don't want to use too much too soon.
Reduces bumps
Cons:
Redness of the skin it you use too much too soon.
Brings out pimples that were not inflamed
Not so good to remove red marks left after inflamation.
In one day I could see a major difference and my skin isn't that oily anymore.
I would recommend for anyone from light to moderate acne.
If you have mild acne I would use a Q tip to avoid contamination, excessive redness and dry skin.
If it's moderate you should definately use mostureizer and a product with SPF. I recommend MINESOL Oil Control FPS 30 by Johnson & Johnson wich avoids oily skin aswell.
Or else you could just buy a SPF with a oil free formula and use Milk of Magnesia to avoid aoily skin, it works even better and all day long. =] (That is if BP doesn't dry your skin too much, in that case just go oil-free SPF) Using Azelan 1% gel at night removes the red marks that are left much faster. It works on pimples too, but not as well as BP. I don't recommend using both together though as it can be very drying.
Just do it in alternate days or maybe BP in the morning an Azelan at night and make sure to use a Q tip to lay the product gently over the red marks

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
It doesn't have a harsh smell, it leaves your face feeling clean and you skin will look better within a couple of days.
Cons:
the moisterizer doesn't really work it left my skin feeling dry and a few itchy and burning sensation after you wash your face.
I've only used this product for about 4 days so far it seems like its doing a good job its making my blemishes a little less noticeable I am sure it will get a lot better over time. I've been reading reviews from other people complaining that it had been a week and nothings clearing up. You guys have to remember that no treatment will work overnight and leave you with a clear and pimple-free face, give it time at least 3 weeks.

Pros:
It drys your face a little
Cons:
all my pimples dissapere after 5 days ,
I really like this product , i was not use to breaking out from my face i am 25yrs old , so as soon as i tryed it it worked it clear up my face ,if your face drys out a lot you could always use Neutrogena sun screen for the face that gives it a good moisture plus it looks great under your make up :)
Pros:
Better value than many other products on the market and the Kick _ss formula is used by all of the family members. Results are great and this helps control skin that tends to get oily throughtout the day much better.
