Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Cons:
make my face really worse than before.
First week of using Carley's, my skin was radiant, even my pores become smaller. The second weeks, my face developed painful cystic acne, esp around upper lips and chin area. It's really BAD. A lot of huge and painful cystic acnes. I had light hormonal acne and I was hoping this product would work for me. I always used Carley's correctly. I never drink or smoking. What should I do? I even don't want to go outside with these bumps on my face.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Doesn't make my skin break out more
Cons:
Doesn't ever completely go away
This product is not consitent at all. I've been using it for a while now and it made a slight difference in the begining. This is the best product I've used so far but it still never gives me completely clear skin. I'm gonna keep trying it for another month and then I'm giving up hope..

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Cleared up my acne quickly. My skin is really soft. My dermatologist's regimen wasn't working. This product is awesome. For those who claims to be scarred for life due to proactive being harsh, maybe you're allergic to benzoyl peroxide and can't use
Cons:
Liquid Tonert stuff stings a little at first - no biggie.
Love it!! Use it!!! It's awesome if you're not allergic to benzoyl peroxide. If you are, use salicylic acid products.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
-Finally cleared up my skin after 11 years of acne agony.
-Everything. I swear by this stuff. I can't thank them enough for creating this product - my skin is beautiful and acne-free now.
Cons:
-I don't like the smell or the bleaching but in my case it is a small price to pay.
I had acne since the time I was about 14 or 15. I was on 3 kinds of pills plus topical treatments for it at different times throughout my teenage years and nothing really helped. My dermatologist wasn't willing to give me Acutane because by the time I tried everything else I was sexually active. I was 26 when I started using Proactiv and I was still breaking out a lot. I had pretty much given up and thought I would always have terrible skin, that I would just have to live with it.
I have heard that people have had negative reactions to Proactiv but for me personally it has been amazing. My skin was quite dry and itchy in the beginning but I started using their Green Tea Moisturizer after the Refining Lotion and that solved the problem - without causing me to break-out! Also since I am now 27, I started using their Night Cream as well and my skin is even more radiant. I get compliments on my complexion all the time now and I am still not used to it. :)
I LOVE this product.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Calmed down red cysts in one night, and is slowly killing my acne altogether as the weeks go by! :D the price is UNHEARD OF oz for oz compared to other OFC BP's.
Cons:
If you use to much to begin, your gonna dry up and peel, which can be embarrasing. (this goes away as your skin adjusts, and can be remedied with the acne.org moisturizer.)
I tried it all, and it seems like this is the only regimen that is gives real results aside from accutane.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
I've been using it for 3days so far and my skin is much smoother than it was before and its clearing up!..no drying effect for me.

Its a great product for clearing your acne just not for the beauty of your immediate skin.
