Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Cons:
Took over 3 weeks to do it
I am 24 and my acne came back with a vengeance, I've been in and out of dermatologists for years earlier in life and been on everything under the sun. My acne ended up coming back real bad about month and a half ago and I ended up picking this up as I never really gave benzoyl peroxide a chance. My acne got a lot worse at first but it finally stated working well and now I am happy with it. A lot cheaper than seeing a dermatologist and spending money on prescriptions.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
consistency, how it absorbs into the skin, ability to stop acne in its tracks!
Cons:
NONE!
i used to use on-the-spot BP from another company and it was by far inferior to Dan's product! i didn't use enough of it, it didn't absorb...it was just a mess. however, dan's BP 2.5% is just amazing. only after 3 weeks of using this as well as the entire regimen by dan, i can officially say that i don't have one pimple! i had moderate acne (about 15-20 active pimples at one time). i will tell you that i didn't think this was going to work...after all, i have tried everything just like you. but it did -- BELIEVE IT CAN FOR YOU, TOO! i wouldn't walk, i would RUN to get your wallet to purchase this stuff. i'm a real person. feel free to contact me at my user name on the board. i couldn't be happier to share the news and any tips that i have encountered. you don't have to live with acne. and when i tell you that this is worth a shot, i mean it.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Bar)
Pros:
It worked for the first month
Cons:
It really dried out my skin and then made my acne 10 times worse
It's not worth even trying. The cons are too much of a risk. It sort of worked on my face for a bit, but made my back acne horrible.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Very reasonable price and great money back offer with no time limit.
Cons:
I have oily skin already and this seems to make it even more so. I think its the natural soap with all the diffferent kinds of oils in it.
Made my skin really oily the first week I used it. I mean really bad that my son thought I had been sweating but i decided to keep using it and for the most part it did make most of my very small pimples on my forehead clear up and my skin appeared smoother looking but my skin is still oily. I also use it all over my chest area and back where i seemed to get small pimples and those have all cleared up. I think it would work really good on those that dont have oily skin like I do. Overall a very good product for the money.

Pros:
does in fact shrink the size of acne within 3 days
Cons:
NOT good for sensitive skin; over peeling, drying and BURNING. it's also really grainy and gross feeling. not very pleasant to use.
This is a pretty effective product, but I wish they considered us sensitive skin people when formulating it. I can't use it any more because my skin just burns too much. Yeah my zits are smaller, but my face hurts ! ):

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
NONE!!!!!!
Cons:
entire face turned into a red hot rash, eyes swollen and lid almost all the way closed...cld customer service and they were not helpful...this product is horrible and I'm suing
This product needs to be recalled...we even used the sensitive one.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Purchased it from Dillards, and the rep did a skin test and explained to me how clinique was different from Proactiv and Nutrogena the two products I've used in the past. Which aided in me choosing to buy it and try it today.
Cons:
Price got me ..its a bit pricy. If you buy the sample size it was 39.00 for a month and for the full size it was $9 bucks more. If I like it, that means I would end up spending almost almost $90 bucks if I got the trail size.
Proactive didn't work well for me--made me try out and itch ( tried for 6 months). Currently using neutrogena--but its not preventing acne. So i'll be back to give updates in two weeks on how Clinique works for me. Rep at store made a follow up appointment, and told me that if it doesn't work I can return the product--so nothing to loose really.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
really cleared up my skin after babies, got alot of compliments from people WITHOUT makeup on, love their makeup products too though!
Cons:
when I run out of it
yes, you have to be consistent - ew if you aren't cleaning your face 2x per day - that's disgusting. it's takes time for results but in the end WELL worth it. LOVE the oil control cream - really helped my skin during PMS
Pros:
Helped a lot
