Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
The benzoyl peroxide comes in a 2oz. container and after 6+ years of using the products I still had moderate acne.
The products work to an extent. My skin definitely got worse when I quit using them, without switching to another product right after, but overall the products are not very effective and are very expensive.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Please believe the promising reviews, this product does work. It's the first reason why I purchased this product because of all the positive success stories people have on here. Depending on your acne & skin, it can work instantly to about 4 weeks. You WILL see your skin clearing up. If you continue to have mini breakouts here and there than you need to watch what you eat and exercise!
Cons:
-Shipping is high but it's well worth it! -PURCHASE MORE SOAP BARS! My first soap bar was gone in about 3-4 weeks because of how much I used this product every morning in the shower. But it works!
-DO NOT use this over the sink, you'll regret the mess you'll make in your bathroom as this is a perfected made 3 step process, it can get messy! Recommended in the shower every morning!
-Acne is incurable. You will get it all the time unless you change your habits to a healthier you.
Proactive is full of lies and being PAID by celebrities just to promote their product even though they never used it. There 3 step process literally destroyed my skin and left my face dry BAD! Never believe their annoying commercials and they all can go to **** !
I should of known about this product before Christmas last year. But still, it's perfect to have nice looking face of smooth looking skin now than how I was a month to 2 months ago.
This product works ladies and gents, works for everyone. Get this, NOW!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
good moisturizer.
Cons:
It did not work at all and was expensive.
I used this for a couple months and there were no amazing results. I broke out just the same and my face was pretty much just the same...maybe worse.
This was an expensive product that didn't do anything for my skin. So unless you are out of options and don't know of anything else that can help your skin DON'T get this!

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Clears acne pimples fast
Reduces oil on skin
Affordable
Cons:
Can dry your face out
Doesn't reduce blackheads
I think this product is worth trying out! I have used for a little less than 4 weeks and my acne is nearly gone and I have no new pimples. I do wear makeup on a daily basis. If you are using this product twice daily, I would recommend using a light moisturizer once a day so it doesnt over dry your skin.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Great size, Non-Scented, Easy to use
Cons:
Will dry skin out if used too often
This product works great! I have been using it along with the rest of the system (ie: cleanser and mosturizer) for about 3 months and have seen major improvement with my skin. My first week using the treatment I had problems with my skin drying out. But once I started focusing on my t-zone and checks (which are my problem areas), instead of smearing it on my whole face, the dry-ness subsided.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Improved skin texture for a time.
Cons:
Effects didn't last and it bleached everything!
It works for a little bit, but for me it only seemed to improve the texture of my skin, and I know it was because the product contained Benzoil Peroxide, but it bleached shirts and my down comforter. Which I can deal with if it is a good product, but this stopped working.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Works well.
Cons:
For one thing the price is too much. Doesn't work as well as they advertise.
My acne has not cleared up completely. But if I stop using it the acne will get worse. Its a great product for people with very little acne.
