Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Clears face up fast
Cons:
Not exfoliating enough
This is a great product. I had used proactive for about a week and I didn't really like it that much. AcneFree, though, cleared my face up within ONE USE. This may sound pretty.. odd, but it did. I had what looked like a cyst on my face, a big red bump. I used it and the next day it was much smaller. I wish it had more beads like proactive did, though.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Works fast, doesn't irritate my skin, skin feels clean after use - no film like with some products.
Cons:
It will bleach your washclothes so use your old ones.
I have had painful and embarassing acne on my face, chest, & back since I turned 13. This stuff works. I am 29 now and have bought every product on the market and tried every home remedy I have heard about. Nothing worked and everything made my skin even more sensitive than it usually is. This was a last distch effort. I am so glad I tried one more thing. For the first time in my life I wake up and my skin doesn't hurt. It is amazing, my skin is clear and beaautiful.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Almost eliminates my stubborn acne.. still hard for me to believe.
Cons:
Face is somewhat dry and red with 10x per week application.
I'm 35 with moderate but very stubborn acne ever since I was 16. I've used virtually every Rx product incl accutane. I was on topical antibiotics and differin for the last 6 years, and it worked well for most of that time but gradually my acne came back. So six weeks ago I had to switch to doxycycline and oral e-mycin, which used to work very well but this time stopped working. I suspect the bacteria became resistent. That's why I tried the Regimen. After just 2 weeks, my acne is 95% reduced. It's quite amazing, I wouldn't have believed a simple OTC product could work this well.

I started breaking out when we started moving all over the country. This product has worked in the humidity of Florida all the way to the dryness of Colorado.

Works well, you can buy it at the drugstore.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
For the first couple of weeks i started using Proacitv, my skin looked better than ever but after i kept using it more, my face became dry and flakey and my face would burn like hell. But if i stopped using it i would breakout like crazy. I'm still using it at the moment but i think i'm going to stop and find something else.
