it is a great product that does the job needed!

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel)
Pros:
I can see immediate result by the next day. But I do not recommend for long term use.
Cons:
This is why, it is very drying when use for more than a week and if I follow Dan's dosage, my face will look "burned" which red brown dried skin. I have to use much lesser but it will be less efficient if I use lesser.
I do not recommend for long term use. If there is a better choice, do not use this.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Good price, works great (at first), convenient.
Cons:
Stops working (for me at least), weird consistency.
This is a really great product that helps your skin a lot. However, after a while it just seems to not do anything. Also, the cleanser has a REALLY weird consistency. It doesn't lather at all and pretty much just feels like nothing. P.s. No matter what your acne is like, I recommends Acne Free Severe. It has higher BP levels and worked a lot better for me than the regular Acne Free.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
im currently using proactiv and ive been on it for 2 weeks and im really starting to see an improvement and i have moderate acne. the scars and redness are already going away. alot of people dont use a moisturizer with proactiv so yes it will dry out your skin. i use aveeno daily moisturizing lotion fragrence free(noncomedogenic)jut a pea sized amount is good. does not leave my skin oily and gives just the right amount of moisture. Also alot of people dont use the right amount of the products. using too much or too litte will not work. but so far it seems to be working for me. And if it fails my next products will be Dan kern products =].

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
-cleared me up quite a bit
-works fast -fades red marks nicely
-cheap
Cons:
-may dry your face, resulting in several large cysts, which is horrible...:(
I have used this product for several weeks twice. the first time I used it severely dried my face completely which resulted in several large heavily inflamed cysts. and yes, back then I WAS using a mousturizer. in the past few weeks I used this product again, because the stores here are somewhat short on acne products...:(
I had used many kinds of acne products and I think that is why clearasil utra didn't dry my face this time. I can find no other explanation... anyway it now works well for me. I do think that people should try it, because, despite of the possible horrible side effects, it is a great product.

Pros:
I got quick results from the cream. One use and I noticed clearer skin.
It was extremely affordable too. I found it on sale at Walgreen's for about $5. I might go back and stock up!
Cons:
The cream is quite harsh and dries the skin.
The cream worked well for me. I tried it out for the first time last night and upon waking up, my skin was noticibly clearer. This product is great for my oily skin. I'm skeptical about the pills, but I'm going to continue to take them.
Pros:
it works
