Pros:
-It really works! It dries up your pimples and speeds up the healing process.
Cons:
-It removes the pimples but it leaves scars. It also gives this unbelievable itchiness.
The lotion makes it veeerryyy itchy but if you have self control, it's bearable. I noticed a pimple growing two days ago and so I applied the lotion for two consecutive nights. Right now, it's still there but it is on its late stages. I use this with ProActiv Renewing cleanser (WHICH IS THE BEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED!) and proactiv toner.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Gets rid of acne quickly, leaves face feeling clean
Cons:
Stings, leaves skin dry
I tried this about 5 days ago. It worked great! But two days after starting it, I started getting major headaches. Apparently, it was being absorbed into my bloodstream and causing my blood to thicken and all that great stuff. So if you want to take the chance you can, but keep some detox handy just in case.

Pros:
It worked great! I used it the night after I had a huge breakout and the next morning I had barely any acne at all. I also prevents the pimples from coming back. This stuff is just amazing.
Cons:
A bit of dryness, but it was expected and can be cured by a bit of moisturizer.
It is really great stuff; I recommended it to some friends, all of which love it just as much as I do. It works amazing, try it for yourself.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
This stuff works wonderful. I have tried every other kind of acne medication and nothing worked. I stumbled across this on ebay and thought I would try it. I never expected it to work so well. Now its all I will ever use!
Cons:
I can't really say there is any negative about it. My skin dries out a little and starts to peel but I just put a light moisturizer on and everything is ok
You should try it. It works very quickly to heal any breakouts and to keep you from breaking out.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Works fantastic and fast. Leaves my skin smooth, doesn't irritate or over cleanse. Truly knocked my adult acne out. If I do get a breakout, which is rare anymore, I give that area a little more attention and it's gone in about a day.
Cons:
Due to the absence of harsh chemical preservatives, the last 1/8 of the bottle tends to loose its effectiveness. It still exfoliates and leaves your skin smooth, just make sure to reorder before then so that you can keep those zits zapped.
It works great. Doesn't overdry or irritate. Can be used on the face and the body. Your skin actually craves this after a few days of use. The price is excellent, you get a very generous sized bottle. It is fragrance free, so no irritation there. I have not found anything else on the market that works as well as this product. I have been using it about 4 years and battling adult acne for approximately 11 years. I went off this for awhile just to see if there was anything else out there. Many $$$ and lots of irritation later I went back and don't ever plan on quitting. This company also includes a homemade bar of natural soap with every order and samples of their other products such as moisturizers for acne prone skin. Oh and one more thing, their shipping is FAST! I just cannot say enough good things about this product. It truly is a miracle worker.
Pros:
EVERYTHING!! NO ACNE!! SMELLS GOOD!! CLEAN FACE!!
