Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
-Burns, itchy feeling after putting on sometime
-sometimes more breakouts occur if over/under use
I have been using this product for about a month. I had moderate to sever acne and now it is mild to moderate. REALLY BIG DIFFERENCE!! a big part of my sucess is the spot treatment from neutrogena tho, called on the spot. Proactiv is working great for me and I will post another review WHEN it clears ALL of my acne

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
GREAT!!! WORKS FAST!
-I put on some before bed in combination with proactice
-works better than the refining mask
Cons:
dries skin fast!!!!
Kind of coats skin with clear layer
GREAT PRODUCT!!! ill put this on in the early afternoon after the proactive has settled in, then at night, once at about 7 and once before bed. It really works fast. You see a diffecerence in about 1 day of use. It does dry skin VERY quickly. that actually irritated my skin once and made it worse but all in all great product!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
-worked within a week or two
Cons:
-it worked but not for long
-inconsistent
-expensive as hell
-doesnt help much with super oily skin(like mine)
When I bought this product, it worked for only about 3-4 weeks. It cleared the acne(not the blemishes so much). But after that it stopped working for me and my acne eventually came back even thought I continued using it for another two months.

Pros:
None.
Cons:
Expensive. Made me break out so bad, I quit using it. Am now using tretinoin and it has saved me from the damage Pro Active caused.
Some people just don't have good results from benzoil peroxide. I'm 36 yrs old. I have tried everything. This product may work for some people, but not at all for me. I broke out in areas that I never usually have problems with.
July 11, 2009
Pros:
It really works. Does not cost an arm and a leg!
Cons:
Can tend to dry out skin, but it should only be used as a spot treament anyway. If you want to put it all over your face you should use 2.5% with a mosturizer over it :-)
Great cost and effective. I used in combination with the acne.org skincare line and my skin cleared up in 2 weeks!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
It absolutely works. Have tried everthing over the counter and by px . Have just stopped for 2 weeks as run out and my skin is awful again! can't wait for it to arrive.
Cons:
Having to use daily wash cloths and some staining of towels if you are not careful with rinsing with soap. Shipping to Uk is quite expensive but hey I'm worth it!
You have nothing to lose. Money back gaurantee, which they did refund when i didn't get on with one of the anti ageing moisturisers. Great company.

Pros:
works so well, makes all spots disappear! =)

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
nothing
Cons:
it made my face swell and i my face got really dry and it burned to touch my skin for a few days. do not use if your acne is not server
would not recommend it for light to moderate acne
July 4, 2009
Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Clears up acne like nothing else, works 24/7, enjoyable to use
Cons:
VERY strong
This will CURE almost anyone's acne, just make sure you have a good moisturizer. This is very important. This stuff is very harsh and will only make your skin worse without a good moisturizer. Besides that, within two weeks it will have your skin clear again. I use the severe kit, which is great. I highly recommend at least trying this product.
Pros:
-Feels great on skin
-Makes skin soft
-clearing most of my acne, great products
