Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Shrinks my pores, leaves my skin feeling smooth, makes my acne manageable for the first time in years.
Cons:
Dry skin! Use the repairing lotion sparingly! I was slathering it on at first and had very dry skin.
Love it! I recommend it all the time.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
it keeps my acne free.no odor. goes on pretty good.
Cons:
expensive, takes along time to get rid of my pimples i get every so often. when i sweat i can feel it running down my face.
good at killing bacteria. takes forever to eliminate pimples, i use this every so often, but if i do have that little pimple, i just use byebye blemish b.c it works quick!

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
This product is amazing and definately worth the money, once you get the right amounts to use on your skin of each product they should last equally as long. i have been on isotetranoin for 7yrs and its has never given as good a result as this!!
Cons:
slightly pricey and it has to be used regularly 1 or 2 times a day otherwise acne will come back quickly
definately buy this, no nasty sideaffects and skin is smooth and healthy looking, people have complained that skin gets oily again quickly but hello thats probably the reason you have acne!! a complete must have and i would recommend trying this before using horrid drugs like roaccutane or benzoyl perroxide.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Works well. Leaves your skin smooth and refreshed and it smells good.
Cons:
To expensive.
Well I am 15 and I guess I dont have what you would call acne but I get some random pimples on my face so I thought I would give it a try. It works great, keep in mind I have not been using it that long. The only bad thing is it is true if you have sensitive skin, which I dont at all, you shouldnt use it! Well I hope it works for you!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
it works really good, and it feels good on the skin.
Cons:
the refining mask makes your face smell. i worn it and then went out side for some sports and it gave me sunburn and small blisters.
it works great, but be careful to read all the instructions and warnings.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel)
Pros:
I use panoxyl acnegel 2.5 for a month now. So far it works wonders on my skin. It clears up my whitehead and blackhead. Apply before bed and wake up with smooth skin.
Cons:
Make skin so itchy. Need to apply rosehip oil and moisturizer again and again throughout the day.
Great product to replace neotregena bp 2.5 as i couldn't find it anywhere at local drugstore.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
really makes my face feel clean, noticeable reduction in acne
Cons:
can be drying, cleanser seems to run out faster than everything else, i've found the bottle to leak when i travel
this stuff is nice. i used Proactiv and AcneFree prior to this stuff and my face was so dry and red and it burned so easily because of the benzoyl peroxide, even with a good SPF sunscreen. the Clinique foaming cleanser contains salicylic acid so imo it's more gentle. it's foaming, which i like, and it really makes your face feel clean! i've noticed a difference since i started using it [along with the Acne Solutions toner] so i'm very pleased. it *can* get pricey after awhile ($17.50 every so often can really add up!) and it makes my face pretty dry in the winter time but other than that i'm pleased :)

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Dries clear, great spot treatment, works as effectively as 10% BP without harsh drying effect.
Cons:
Bleaches fabric like all BP products and I do not like the packaging of this product
I love this product because it goes on clear and nobody can see you have anything on your face. I do not use makeup or moisturizer, and do not have very bad acne but I do get the occasional pimple and have very sensitive skin. This product is invisible and i use it as spot treatment day and night. There was a visible reduction in pustule redness and size after one night of use! Does not dry out skin if used on trouble spots. The only thing I do not like is the packaging. I bought the travel size bottle which may have different packaging than the big bottles but I find the medicine hard to dispense and the bottle is hard to squeeze. However, I don't really care because the product is awesome.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
The acne scrub works! Follow the instructions on the bottle, if you do what it says you will get results.
Cons:
I didn't care for the anti-aging cream for acne prone skin.It is expensive, and you only get a tiny jar. I much prefer the day time cream. It goes on smooth, and is perfect to wear under your makeup.
This stuff is great!!!! The acne treatment works, just follow the instructions. The natural soap is wonderful, my entire family is hooked. The day cream and night cream are both great, they are light,leave no greese behind and won't casue your skin to break out.
Pros:
its not too oily
