Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Cleared my skin for a short time.
Cons:
This product is an absolute nightmare when you stop using it. My face is a disaster and it seems like EVERYTHING is coming to the surface.
I started using it when I went on birth control and began to have skin problems. I stuck with it for several years and it never worked that great, but I was afraid to stop. Finally, I decided to stop using it (even though I knew what might happen) and it's just HORRIBLE. It seems like everything is coming out of my skin and it's just not stopping. I've since been using a gentle cleanser, toner and moisturizer...and apple cider vinegar toner at night. The ACV seems to be helping quite a bit. I think if I wasn't using it my skin would be much worse, with more deep cystic acne. BOTTOM LINE: DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. If your skin is bad, consider other options. It's not worth the pain and suffering you will go through when you stop using the product. It's gotten to the point where I'm so depressed and feel so ugly that I want to stay in the house and hide. PLEASE DO NOT USE PROACTIV. The product will only damage your skin further in the long run.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
I have a 14 year old on proactiv, he was hoping this would help his acne as school can be hard when you are teased. IT DOES NOT WORK!! IT IS EXPENSIVE
I have spent alot of money on this treatment for my son thinking this product would help his acne which would make attending school easier without being picked on. What a waste of money

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Amazing! Works so well, seen a massive improvement after only a few days. Also leaves my skin nice and dry, my skin looks perfect when it is dry and not covered in oil all day :)
Cons:
Only con I can think of is that there isn't a U.K stockist, so it takes forever to arrive and also costs quite a lot, but it is so worth it!
Also seeing such a massive imporvement withing a week (Swithed from 5% to this)
Amazing, the best BP treatment I've ever used, I can't believe I didn't come across this sooner. Give it a try, chances are it will work, its like god in a bottle :)

Pros:
Feels nice on your skin, nice container
Cons:
Made my skin way worse. It is so red and painful. Smells bad too.
Smelled bad, didn't work. Got my hopes up and wasted my time and money.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
when i wash my face at night and have a few blemishes, when i wake up the next morning they have already began to diasappear.
Cons:
Dried my skin at first but not as bad anymore. if i stop using it for a few days i begin to breakout.have to use other Proactive products in order to see better results and those products can be pricey.
people get frustrated after the first few weeks, it took me about 4-6 weeks to see results and yes i did break out but it was only because it was "disinfecting" my skin. it takes a blemish about 6 weeks to breakout from underneath the skin. But after those 6 weeks i saw awesome results and loved it.It is also very important to use twice a day!

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
Clears your skin beautifully
Cons:
VERY VERY EXPENSIVE, if you sweat or get wet in the face, it will show up.
I love the way this acne cream works. It has cleared my face up very good. The only thing is that is it very expensive over here around me its $7.00 for a .75oz tube, that is ridiculous!! but imma continue to use it because it has been the only thing so far to keep up my skin

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
works great
Cons:
feels sticky, gets clumpy, leaves residue, feels kind of heavy, expensive
It works great but, there are a few set backs. If you are using this product all over the face it will run out very soon and feels quite heavy and takes a couple of months to see a very noticable progress.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
smells nice, the face mask is great
Cons:
expensive, feels heavy.. etc. terrible
I thought possibly this could be my miracle product but, it wasn't. It didn't work for me, it just broke me out more because it is way to strong. As for my brother it worked for him but, after he stopped using proactiv the acne all came back. If you do something physical and sweat it burns your face and makes it irritated. My face felt completely oily. It can get quite expensive. You can surely try it but, for me i'll never be a customer again. Thanks to paid actors i've wasted good money.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Absolutely works as promised. I'll never be without it! Cleared my skin in just a few days.
Cons:
Is drying. Try my suggestions below. They also carry a milder version. Check out the website.
A never had acne until I hit 35 - got the dreaded adult onset kind. Suffered for 5 years, then wised up and ordered Proactiv. Works great! Is very drying as others have stated, so I use the three steps at night only followed by a good non-comedogenic night cream (Olay works great), and wash thoroughly with water only (no cleanser or toner) in the morning and follow with the repairing lotion and a good non-comedogenic day cream w/SPF 15 (very important!). Would absolutely recommend. Saved my complexion from those nasty zits!
Pros:
It feels tingly and sorta works
