Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It really evens out my skin texture and keeps zits to a minimum. When I don't use it, my face definitely notices. I get a $50 shipment twice a year, so you can't really beat the price for the system.
Cons:
The shipment method costs less, but I end up using the products (cleanser, toner and lotion) at different rates, so I have to adjust the order every six months to get the right combination. It also bleaches some of my towels and sheets.
I would recommend this product to people who have persistent acne. not good for people with sensitive skin, or people with minimal acne problems.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
None
Cons:
Over priced for the amount of product you receive. ((((Doesn't work period ))))
I would not recommend this product to anyone. This product is not meant for sensitive skin.
It is way to harsh for anybody's face. It burns and increases the amount of acne on your face. ((DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT))

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
works very well and fast. effectively prevents future breakouts
Cons:
its very harsh on the skin and will make it red and itchy. but dont stop using it. just keep using moisturizers to help keep the redness down. eventually the itchiness and redness will go away.
USE IT!! it seriously works.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Feels like your getting a good cleaning. Your skin gets better temporarlly. Used it for 2 years.
Cons:
Stops working in the long run. If you miss a day of cleaning, you start breaking out again.
This will work well on people with mild acne, but if you have either moderate or severe acne I suggest not to buy this product, and that your better off with over-the-counter products that are cheaper. Although I used this product for 2 years and I didn't have any irritations or side effects, it started to cause rashs on my skin this past month. So I went to a dermatologist and he said that I was having a allergic reaction. It's kind of odd because I been using this product for 2 years and now I'm having allergic reactions to it . =(

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It worked wonders for me, years ago. So I guess for some people it (the whole system) still works.
Cons:
For some reason, now my skin just breaks out when I use the WHOLE system (cleaner, salylic acid crap, repairing lotion). It's aweful. I dont understand how it worked when I was a teen and now it triggers acne. Guess it only works for my puberty.
I just can't use the whole system any more. The price sucks @ss also! After making hunders of millions of dollars, you would think they would bring the price down somewhat, like normal manufactorers do.
I do use the repairing/night lotion. It works great by itself. I just wash my face with a fragrance-free clean soap (Pure & Natural brand), then use the lotion in the mornings and before bed.
Now, I only get an occasional zit, here or there. Nothing nasty.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Helps the breakouts I have helps new ones from forming.
Cons:
At first my skin was dry, peely and itchy.
I haven't used it for very long and already I notice a huge difference in my skin, its a lot smoother and healthier looking, I mean yeah I still have a few blemishes but no new ones have popped up. So overall this is a really great product! Just a side note for dry skin use the "Green tea mostuire" it calms and sooths your skin and smells fantastic!
Pros:
It Works!
