Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
still have at least 10-12 pimples at a time/bumpy skin that especially doesn't look very good in pictures might i add.
basically, it only works for people who's skin have good reactions to benzoyl peroxide. which mine doesn't, so i'm left too afraid to quit using it, since i'll probably just break out 10 times worse than ever. then what am i supposed to do??

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
It works extremely fast, i would have never guessed that it was going to work, I tried proactiv and that was a failure i tried the regular acne free and that was also a failure but the acne free severe kit was the one for me
Cons:
It seems like it just leaves a little bit of acne left but nothing bad
I would recommend this to people who have tried every creams on the market with no success, This actually does work, I am one of those people that acne has never Gone away for me what ever i tried, but after discovering acne free severe my skin looks amazing now, Just make sure you use the steps every day when told to or it will not work

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
none
Cons:
-didnt work
-dried face out
-made face burn like hell
i was reeally dissapointed with proactiv. i thought maybe it would be the thing to get rid of my acne, but it didnt work for me at all!!! not only did it not have an effect on my acne, it completley dried out my face and made it all flaky and it burned like a mf. i dk if i was using it wrong or what, and ill probably try it again, but whatever the hell was in that stuff did NOT like my skin.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Cleared my skin up in a few days, the 3rd step (lotion) is fragrance free and is good if you're sensitive to strong smelling perfumes/lotions.
Cons:
Made my skin really dry (and I have oily skin). Don't apply the lotion twice a day as they suggest! Use once a day or every other day!
I only got the acne clarifying lotion, and use with Clearasil daily face wash.
Works really well, but make sure you apply sparingly or you will definitely experience dried out, flaky skin!

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
This stuff works very well, I am a very good looking kid but i have mild acne. It makes me so mad but since the oxy my face looks really beautiful!! Also after useing this stuff use spot treatment with regular peroxide and over night it all disapears
Cons:
Do Not use rubbing alchohol with this it makes every pimple become more infected.
THis product works great for me. Its worth way more than the price. Get the whole package: Daily treatment (this stuff): Cleansing pads: and Oxy Soap.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
cheap, delivers quickly, large bottle lasts forever (a little goes a long way), chemical free, cruelty free, lots of free samples come with your purchase :)
Cons:
none :)
My family has always suffered from terrible acne, especially me. I tried all the stuff on the pharmacy shelves and I even when to a dermatologist (what a waste of money btw). When I became vegan I decided to order this product to see if maybe it would help. My skin has never been so clear before. All my acne on my face, back, and chest are completely gone and my scars faded away quickly too. My skin is baby soft and I barely wear make up now. I highly recommend ALL of carley's clear and smooth products.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Toned down acne, the refining mask was pretty good as an on the spot treatment. Didn't make things worse. Helped scars heal
Cons:
Never could finish the job! It would get me close but than another few would appear. DID NOTHING for blackheads!!! Overpriced
It is better than nothing, BUT it never completely healed me or kept acne away. Blackheads still remain same as before Proactiv did nothing for them!
Pros:
slightly cleared up my acne after using the complete system consistantly DAY & NIGHT every single day for a couple weeks.
