Pros:
Works really well, I see results really fast. And plus, the cleanser smells like baby oil! =]
Cons:
The lotion is a little bit drying, so I use it as an on-the-spot creme.
I really like this line of products, and I recommend it to others.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
May be helpful for minor acne.
Cons:
Products do not work as advertised. Extremely expensive.
Bascially unsatisfied with results. Their customer service is the
worst I have ever dealt with. Horrible experience dealing with them
and the issue was never resolved.

August 5, 2009
Pros:
Does wonders for blackheads. I recently ran out of my 3.7% Benzoyl Peroxide so last night I mixed this with water hoping to dilute it a bit and applied it before bed. This morning some of my blackheads were gone.
Cons:
Stings if applied close to the eyes (as with most products) Dries skin a little. Can't be used all over face (only as spot treatment) unless mixed with water.
I'm only used it one night so I can't say when effect it has on the actual zits, but I've searched for a blackhead treatment and this works pretty well.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
It quickly prevented breakouts and dried out existing ones.
Cons:
None.
If you exfoliate well after a shower and just apply a VERY thin layer , it works very well. My skin cleared up in three days! If it makes your skin flaky, you applied too much or you need to just put it on blemishes themselves.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Love this product!!! By far the best product out there for acne. I sell Mary Kay and my products do nothing for acne. I cant say enough! My 14 year old daughter is using it too with great results! Also the bar soap is the best! No more dry skin!
Cons:
Not a One!!!!!!!
For the money we all spend on beauty products this is the best value. And the results will blow you away! Acne has been a part of my life since I was 10. Not now I don't have to fight it anymore. And my daughter will have beautiful skin from here on out! I have had dry skin my whole life and using the bar soap instead of regular soap, I don't need heavy lotions anymore! Just clean soft beautiful skin!!!! What do have to risk this is a no brainer product! Just try it and you will love it too!!! Shipping is super fast too! You could be using this great product in just a few days!
