Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Spot Treatment)
Cons:
Dries out your skin but for me it wasn't that bad but I guess for people with sensitive skin it could be worse.
Overall this is a kickass product and I highly recommended it because it does what its supposed to do.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Spot Treatment)
Pros:
clears skin and keeps it that way!
Cons:
a little drying and when applying makeup u will get the flakies..
soooo worth it..and i find that using a gentle ALCOHOL FREE toner before applying this bp really really helps with the flakies...this bp and the oxy 10% bp wash are staples in my regimen...it blasts acne.. :)

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Really worked great for me! It almost did not dry my skin. Best solution so far after years of suffering acne.
Cons:
The "club" system is annoying. You run out of Repairing Lotion long before the cleanser, but you have to buy the whole kit. No moisturizing product in the 3-piece kit: you have to add a 4th product (and a 4th step) in your routine.
A little overpriced, but it's not the scam described by some. It may be THE solution for some like me who have tried a lot of things out of desperation.
The most annoying thing by far is the buying club system. I suggest you get the 30-day trial before making your mind. Remember also that you have the right to use it only once a day, and the quantity you want. You have the right to delay a shipment or to ask for longer intervals between shipments, even if you have to struggle a little on the phone.
On the other hand, the products are not available in detail in Quebec, as far as I know.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
-had a minty fresh feeling
-seemed to work first few washes
-may make eyes sensitive
Cons:
-destroyed my face
I used this product in combination with Clean and Clear Blackhead Scrub. I had mild to moderate acne and after a few washes things were looking bright. After a week and over the course of a weekend it completely destroyed my chin area (where I had no severe problems before) and cheeks. Watch out for little bumps appearing that will flame up. May work for some....not me :(

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Fab, dries pretty fast, WORKS (most importantly)
Cons:
Bleaches fabrics
Dan, I think I love you. I read a whole bunch of these reviews thinking they were faked by a large crew of underpaid workers in your basement or something but now, I believe. I bought this cheap (large) tube of BP off of your site on Sunday. It arrived Tuesday morning, although that's probably because I live literally a city away from your company. In any case, that night I excitedly applied the "finger" of lotion to my face and neck and waited for it to dry. I have to say that many of you are whiners- It doesn't take that long to dry. Really, now. It only takes about a minute. Then I applied moisturizer and went to sleep. I woke up and blammo! Insta-improvement. Face smoother. Proto-pimples stopped dead in their tracks. It was a dream come true. Mind you, I have moderate acne on my chin and cheeks and a little on the underside of my jaw. It's really helped. Just follow Supreme Leader Dan's regimen and you'll be alright.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Does remove redness and make things smaller.
Cons:
Leaves scars, but maybe that's from me popping them. Also dries out your skin a lot, and I don't have sensitive skin.
Clears up spots pretty well.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I had no pimples left in 3 days, Didnt dry my skin at all!
Cons:
It bleaches the cloth I use, but thats all!
Great product, worth your money and I would recommend it to everyone. When using the toner, dont use it with a cotton ball, for two reasons: One, All it does it soak it up and then you'll have to buy more quicker. And Two, for some people it peels. It pour a bit on your hands and smooth it on.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Works really well. Honestly, this is the best product i've ever used. I get pimples every once in a while, but if I do, the repair lotion clears it up overnight. It's also cheap and easy to get.
Cons:
The texture varies. Sometimes I buy it and it is liquidy and has a stronger smell.
Try it! I have been testing out different products since 8th grade and NOTHING worked until this! If it doesn't do the job by itself, which I think it will, try drinking green tea, lemon juice, and a lot of water while using it!
Pros:
Works! This product does an amazing job at what it was made to do.
