Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Cons:
None
I was lucky to have perfect skin during my teenage years, the acne came after the age of 18.
I have tried everything from peels, diets, pills and creams, but the acne has followed me into my adulthood. When I came over these products on eBay, I must admit to have moderat expectations due to all the failed attempts.
It would turn out to be an unnecessary concern. During the 2 years with these products, I have gradually seen a big improvement.
My skin is much clearer and the break outs now appears rarely. I enjoy the fact that it's not a bunch of products, it is an easy procedure to follow morning end evening. These are quality products, with natural ingredients and discreet smell. Also, the products lasts for a long time, so the monthly cost is very affordable.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
It works so well to get rid of my mild acne. A friend of mine who had severe acne says it has efficiently reduced the amount of severe acne he suffered from and said that he used it as a face wash and a spot treatment before he would go to sleep.
Cons:
It drys your skin out when you use it too often, and it also drys your skin out when it is very dry outside. It burns a little bit when you first start using it. And when you stop using it for a day or two your acne starts coming back asap.
I SWEAR BY THIS STUFF FOR MY ACNE!!!! It is easy to carry around, but the lid of the bottle breaks kinda often. The last 3/5 of my bottles lids have broken. I've learned to keep the lids of the bottles that still function properly for later use.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Steady (but slow} improvement. I feel I have control over my acne, and possibly a long term cure.
Cons:
The instructions seem to be focused on getting people to use as much as possible, so they can sell as much as possble. Actually its a good product but you have to find what works for you and ignore the instructions.
I have mild/moderate but very, very stubborn acne, and sensitive skin, but I still got this to work for me. I use it only twice a week and that is all my skin will take but it improves very slighly with each use. So - bottom line - ignore the instructions, see how your skin reacts and, most important be patient. Inbetween using proactiv I use a very mild skin wash (cetaphil) once a day.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Good Return Policy!!
Cons:
These products did nothing that they claimed to do. My skin got really dry and irritated, aswell as my few pimples here and there have turned into zits everywhere!
I used these products for 2.5 months and have given them a fair chance to work, but they have made a big mess of my skin and I have not seen any improvement since. I am far worse then when I started! I just returned the products today for a full refund! Awful Awful Products!
