Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
NONE
Cons:
Did not work for me, gave it 3 1/2 mths and it broke my severe acne skin out even worse then before.VERY disappointed, but that's my skin, not to say it would not work for you.
everyone's skin is different, I thought it was worth a try but now I know "AcneFree" is not for me.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
cleared up at first
Cons:
made my skin over dry around mouth when I would talk and eat I could feel my skin cracking.
Made my get cystic acne on my chin and bottom side of face
I purchased proactive because a lot of friends have reccomended it, but also some hated it, so I figured it workes differently for everyone. I ordered mine from the shopping channel so proactive memeber ship does not have my credit card number to keep billing me which is a plus. But if you have seen the commercial with Jessica Simpson with her before picture of the acne... that it how my face looked after the product. Deffinately would not reccomend it, I would recommend VICY NORMADERM it comes with the face exfoliating cleansing gell toner and antiimperfecting hydrating care.. 39.99 for everything

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Very little acne, but still the occasional zit
Cons:
My skin IS smoother, but there are still tiny bumps on it and some redness
If you need something that will only slightly improve your acne because you really don't have much or break out every once in a blue moon, I suggest using this product.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Not to expensive. Works for certain people.
Cons:
Didnt work for me.
I has minimal amount of pimples to begin with. Since using this product i have has more acne than ever before. Alot around the bottom of my chin and side of face. My skin also looks dry and grey. I have rung the call centre and they have advised me to purchase the facial mask aswell (another sales pitch i guess). I recommend people to try it for themselves. Just because i didnt work for me doesnt mean it wont for you. I am really disappointed as now im left with more acne than i started with, but i could work differently for others

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
Gets rid of forming acne and existing acne. Lightens Scars. Really helps on giant under the skin zits.
Cons:
Drys out skin, as stated
It gets rid of basically all your acne, you may still have a few bumps but nothing completely gets rid of ALL your acne. I have moderate acne i used this before but when i started using epiduo i broke out with cystic zits I stopped that and started this got rid of my cystic zits in two days. There is no IB with this. I love it. You do need a moisturizer. I use cocoa butter and St. Ives vitamin E lotion.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
I had a billing dispute for $45.90 and was turned over to collections.
Proactive is not a reputable company to do business with. Watch what you are billed for and what they ship to you. It is hard to resolve a billing issue with them

Pros:
Feels nice to use, and is really light, so easy to put on. Smelt good not overly fragrancy.
Cons:
A little bit irritating after a while. Quite overpriced for what it is.
Worth trying did help a bit but I just wasnt very consistant with it.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Works well, simple to use, cheaper, and at least as effective as any other things I have used, including Pro Active. Shipping is fast and customer service is excellent.Not a huge corporation. Shelf life of about a year. I depend on this product!
Cons:
Will bleach some fabrics, like any BP treatment.
A great, more down to earth, less chemically product, supplied by truly great folks who really care about their customers, and will do what it takes to ensure satisfaction. Very effective, yet economical. I can't say enough good things about them.
Pros:
Great BP gel. Goes on smooth and comes with a very generous amount.
