Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Cons:
Made my skin burn, turn red, and flake, did not clear up acne, full of harsh chemicals, cleanser made skin smell for ages afterwards,
I purchased the AcneFree Redness Relief kit and it was a pretty unpleasant experience. I believe I may be allergic to something in it, however, I wouldn't recommend the use of such harsh and irritating chemicals to anyone with acne.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Works on stubborn comedones and moderate acne. Works slowly on cysts, but it does bring them down within a few days.
Removes redness, most BP gels heighten redness, but Dan's BP is really gentle.
I'm not as oily as before.
Cons:
Little bit of dryness. Easily fixed. Doesn't work 100% on all pimples, some still come through, but I don't mind being 90% clear.
I've tried Benzaclin, RAM and differin as well as over the counter BP, yet all those don't compare to Dan's BP. I'm never going to waste time and money at a derms office ever again. This BP works and does not make my face red, it seems to help with redness. Best of all, it actually works on acne! Ever since I started to experiment with RAM and differin, my forehead has been clogged with closed comedones and nothing could get rid of them. Not even switching back to the usual over the counter BP creams that used to work in the past for me could get rid of these whiteheads. Dan's BP was my last attempt before I truly quit even trying to rid myself of acne and I'm really glad I did. This stuff works like nothing else and it works gently. Don't bother with retin-a or with products that claim half a years wait time before results occur. Dan's BP works fast and it continues to work consistently. Thanks so much Dan!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
It works pretty well.
Cons:
Drying
Bottom line is acne often seems to stem from hair products, like curl creams. My hair looks awful without the products, but then my face breaks out if I use the hair stuff. My face literally clears up completely if no hair products. Anyone know of good curl cream/wave cream that doesn't break your entire face out?

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Makes your face feel great! Doesn't take up a lot of time. Works really fast. Gets rid of all whiteheads and blackheads.
Cons:
Doesn't help with inflamed, red pimples. A little pricy. The smell of the toner is very strong.
I used proactiv before this and I like this a lot better. It works great at getting rid of whiteheads and blackheads, but if you're acne is bad, i wouldn't recommend it. I let the soap soak into your skin for about an hour before washing it out at night, and it works a lot better than if you just wash it off fast. Really Great Product!

August 25, 2008
Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
it prevented me from getting breakouts :) but i have some scars so it didnt help those obviously [for scars use Neutrogena's Fight N Fade]
Cons:
its not totally consistent...you might have to take a little break off of it here and there. but it depends on your skin type. i guess mines the one it usually works for. but its really expensive
try it out! dont expect magic happening overnight though...you have to stick with it for about 6 weeks.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I have only had this product for about a day or two, and I like it so far. It makes my skin feel clean and there were some results after just a few hours!
Cons:
It does sting a little, but other than that, it works pretty well.
Give it a try. It depends on what kind of skin you have. I've had it for a day, and I've seen results. So far, it's a good product, but we'll see what happens. It works way better if you buy some of the extra products, like the oil blotting pads, concealer, and refining mask, which means you have to pay a lot more $$$, but they work like a charm.
Pros:
Cheap, good % of BP in the lotion
