Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Not as drying as prescription acne medication. easy regimen
Cons:
No dramatic results. Bleaches out skin and every clothing article that comes in contact with solutions.
I have moderate acne. It will occasionaly help clear up my mild acne breakouts. It is good in a sense that it does not dry out skin as much as prescribed acne. It however does not prevent acne more so maintains moderate acne. It is annoying that is bleaches out towels and shirts that come into contact with the solution. It also bleaches out skin. I am bi racial and my face is noticibly lighter than other areas of body due to application of face. I get cystic acne breakout and it does not help much.

Product used: Brevoxyl-4 (Benzoyl Peroxide (4%) Cream)
Pros:
In my experience there are none.
Cons:
I had a severe allergic reaction to this product. I only used it twice and my face became very swollen and I got an outbreak of pimples everywhere on my face.I have had to take a week off work,the doc has given me steroids and antiobiotics
Make sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients. Has anyone had a similar reaction? I am worried there will be long term damage.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Gets rid of Acne Realllllllly Fast! Dries them up!
Cons:
Turns my face BEAT red.. and i dont have sensetive skin, and i am naturally tan.
Great as a nightly treatment, NOT durning the day, unless you want to look like as red as an apple. Im not allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide Either, i know im not because Proactiv Didnt bother me at all, and that also contains 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide. GREAT AS A NIGHTLY TREATMENT, THOUGH!

February 2, 2008
Pros:
Clears up acne super fast
Cons:
A little pricey but worth it
This is the best bp I've ever used and ive used a few.goes on face really easy and doesn't dry face too bad when it dries. Nothing a little moisturizer can fix.doesn't leave white crap on your face.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I like the exfoliation.
Cons:
Dosen't work...the repairing lotion drys my face out. Made my skin redish. I had breakouts elsewhere that popped up after starting ProActive.
Not worth $60 bucks.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Good to prevent breakouts...NOTE, I do not have diagnosed acne. I use it for stress break outs once every 3-4 months or so,
Cons:
Their club method is annoying. You cannot order it when you need it. You must be on a shipping frequency that can only be pushed out to 16 weeks. It is costly and starts to stack up. No notice is given when a shipment goes out..they charge shippi
Club membership program sucks. Cannot modify. Drying and irriating. Overly harsh and a concern for anti aging concerns of 40 year olds (me!). Too much wasted money on the packaging and shipping. Cleaner is nice, lotion is harsh, toner is unnecessary.
Pros:
wow the package looks refined!
