Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It makes your skin soft, and it does keep your skin from getting oily or too dry.
Cons:
It smells a little funky, and if you stop using it for even a week your acne might come back.
Proactiv doesn't work as fast as the prescriptions I used to use, but it doesn't make my skin peel like the prescriptions. I noticed that if I go off it for a few days my acne comes back worse, but when I use it again my skin clears quickly. I only use the cleanser once a day, because it is abrasive, but It helps make your pores look smaller. I don't use as much as they say, and I have like 3 bottles of each of the things in my drawer because I got the subscription. Only order one at a time!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It does work if its used right
Cons:
Pricey, hassle to keep up with, is dissappointing for the first month or so because you won't see immediate results
It really does work if you simply use it as directed. Don't scrub too hard, and don't pick or pop at blackheads and other acne spots, otherwise it will put all of the time you put in to waste. Stick with it and your skin will look great. Wouldn't recommend trying other products on your skin in addition to this unless your skin has cleared.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
.. none.
Cons:
- toner and cleanser are hard to squeeze.
- peroxide is very runny.
- MADE ME RASH. -> severe red dotting all over face, unpleasant skin surface, discolouration of skin.
It sucked. I spent 30 bucks on it, and it made my skin look like hell. The products dont smell nice, theyre hard to use, and they made my skin all dotty and it feels disgusting.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
smells nice, easy to use, helps with [some] pimples
Cons:
works only for SOME types of skin, doesn't prevent future pimples as promised (for me anyways), costs way too much
I'll start with the pros. It smells nice and it's easy to use (I'm reminded of Jessica Simpson exclaiming the short amount time it takes to use it). That's about it... Now the cons. I really did not see those "fast" results those people on the infomercials were boasting about, but the product did help manage SOME pimples. However, with one gone, another took its place a couple of days after. I also feel that the cost does not fit the amount they provide. It's way too costly in my personal opinion. Despite all this, I do believe that a lot of people have a had very good experiences with this product, so I guess it won't hurt to try (if you're rich). Who knows? You may be one of those lucky few whose skin clears up with Proactive.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
It works
Makes face feel soft and clean
Good price and can get it at the store
Cons:
A little hard to get cleanser out of bottle
Sometimes drys out face in some areas
I really like this stuff. It leaves my skin feeling clean and soft. I still get a little acne here and there, but my face does look and feels better. It is worth the money I paid and it is nice that you can get it at the store and dont have to pay any shipping costs.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I don't look like a teenager anymore
Cons:
They didn't have it when I was a teenager & cost
I'm in the middle of the road for acne severity (maybe 30 pimples/day) with sensitive skin and I've tried everything the dermotologist recommended to no avail. I'm lazy and only use the cleanser once in the morning. I think the night creme is a miracle lotion that I only use once a month when hormones dictate I need the extra help. I just ran out and within a week I'm looking like a teenager again. I do wish you could only buy the products you wanted, not the packages. I also tried the tinted moisterizer with SPF and it was great-didn't cause more breakouts like other SPF products. It is strong, like all the others. I use neutrogena face lotion for sensitive skin with SPF and I don't have the peeling problems/redness I used to with the cleanser alone.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Works immediately. Doesn't irritate skin, clears sh*t up FASST. Looking forward to seeing how well it prevents new stuff from forming. Another satisfied customer.
Cons:
the small isn't great, but it's not bad either. There really are no "cons". Great product.
if you have acne, use this stuff. I've used everything, with results that piss me off. This stuff is the real deal holyfield.

Product used: Triaz (Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser)
Pros:
I started using Triaz about 3 weeks ago. I used to get pretty bad acne breakouts, but I havent had one since. I also use an over the counter face wash and moisturizer at night. My advice is wash two times a day, and moisturize both times!
Cons:
None if you moisturize!!
I suggest it for most people if you have a good amount of acne. If you have very minor acne I would suggest just washing and moisturizing your face twice a day with an over the counter product.
Pros:
This works very good I had mild acne i like a week my skin was back to normal
