Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
skin is very red after using and red marks take a while to start fading
dries out my chin a bit, but vitamin e oil fixes that
it was a lot of trouble to actually get it, they kept messing up on the order, it took a month and a half to get it
i just started using this about five days ago, and i have begun to see quite a few improvements. my skin texture is more even and it is easier to apply make up. the thing i dont like is that i still have redmarks but i know that those will go away eventually. Proactiv actually barely dried out my skin, only a bit around my chin and vitamin e oil was the best solution for this (i just put a little on before i go to bed) and it has never clogged my pores. bottom line, im pretty happy with this product so far and cant wait to see the final results!

Not really worth the trouble

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
None
Cons:
This stuff made my skin react horrendously!! I broke out in a rash, a burning irritation in the area applied with tiny white bumps everywhere!! AWFUL! It's been a day already and it hasn't gotten any better -- this skin reaction is intense
I'm sure this is a really good proudct, but it's harsh, and if you have sensitive skin, do not use this!

Cons:
I reacted TERRIBLY to this
I used this last night and my face tarted itching right away. I woke up this morning with a HUGE swollen eyelid, I had to ice it to make it go down. My whole face was red, itchy, and irritated.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
it helped with my blackheads,
Cons:
made my skin really dry and left a chemical burn on my face. My skin is not ultra sensitve either so I don't know what happened, but I'm scared to use it on anything else for the fear of having a blemish that I can't get rid of.
okay

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
the cleanser and toner worked for me, really helped clear up my scars
Cons:
i didnt like the moisturizer nor the spot treatment, that just made it worse
it worked in clearing up the scars and new zits but i was able to find the underling cause to my acne. i have a hormonal imbalance, too much testosterone (which causes acne not just on the face but on the body too), not enough estrogen and progesterone. along with the proactiv i have been on a bio-identical hormone treatment. those too combined have cleared my face. i think with any acne treatment you need to find the underlying cause. hormones, stress, adrenal function.
Pros:
Reduces inflamation
pimples appear smaller
fairly gentle on the face
