Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Cons:
I used to have some pimples After a 2 weeks of using AcneFree my fore head now is like a grater with a lot of pimples, much more than I have before
It looks like is a great product for some people for me it was a dissaster, maybe I'm the exeception to the rule...

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The sulfur mask was the only thing i liked
Cons:
just about everything. I started to break out between my hairline and my eyes and along my jawline. I bought proactiv in hopes of thwarting future breakouts. I used it for a month, exactly as directed and my skin has never been worse.
I know this product may work for some, but it has ruined my skin. I know that things get worse before they get better, but thats usually only for the first 2 weeks or so. My skin is horrible now and i think proactiv just irritated the problem. I like the sulfur mask, but I am not sure that it helps either. I use a sulfur soap and take MSM but havent noticed them helping/hurting the problem.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It made my skin smoother, and whiter. But that's about it.
Cons:
I've used it before one year before I tried it again now. It worked okay before so I thought I'd try it again because I was desperate. And it actually made my acne worse! I have large lumps of acne on my face!
Don't buy into the advertising. It probably would work the same as any other product out there that costs much cheaper! I have sensitive and combination skin. So maybe this product was too harsh.

Product used: Triaz (Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser)
Pros:
clears out your skin of excess oil and acne
Cons:
none!
it works. i just went to the dermatologist and got a few samples, and they haven't ran out yet. i use this and the differin gel, and they've been working great! i would recommend this to anyone with mild to severe acne.

Pros:
Clears up an individual blemish well when used overnight.
Cons:
Drys out skin if you use to much.
I find it's better to use it on place your already have breakouts, I don't think it did much to PREVENT mine.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
none. this product literally did nothing for my skin other than dry it out. i ended up breaking out instead of clearing up.
Cons:
so expensive.
in the end this is a mass marketed product sold by the same company slinging exercise equpiment and blenders. i would not recommend that anyone spend money on this program. it does not work!! do not believe the commercials! what's worse is that when you call to cancel the telemarketer on the other end of the phone tries to tell you that what you are experiencing is normal. as if they have any idea!!
