Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
cleared acne after a couple of days.
Cons:
Dried out skin a lot and now it hurts to put lotion on face
use, but not everyday. or use everyday but only once a day. apply lots of lotion that isn't the one they give you in the three step system.buy the trial system not the full package, it's cheaper and it doesn't make you feel bad for spending as much,

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
-clears pimples
-kills bacteria which causes pimples
-works quickly!!
Cons:
-can cause dry skin due to the high concentration of benzoyl peroxide but really i have only experienced this a little, my skin seems to work well with it. I use mosturizer each morning with spf 15 as well.
This product really works--and fast! If you do decide to use it, I would suggest starting slowly and working up with the treatments as I'm sure everyone's skin reacts differently with the benzoyl peroxide. Also, it would be a great product to simply use as a spot treatment and just have in the medicine cabinet to dry out a big pimple when you get one! Good luck!! I hope it works for you!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Great stuff
Cons:
New formula seems more watery than my past orders, but it still works just as wonderfully.
I love this stuff... been on the regimen for 6 months and stay mostly clear when I can convince myself to be gentle and not pick. That works beautifully for me (gentleness is the most important part of the regimen). I have been completely clear for over a month and counting. Best BP ever, and I would know. I can't wait for his SA to come out if it is even a fraction as good as this stuff. I cannot recommend this product enough.

July 21, 2007
Pros:
Clears up acne. Drys up oily skin. Makes me feel refreshed and clean, not like I have a lot of product on my skin. Doesn't smell bad. Works on face and neck.
Cons:
Not a lot. The method of getting it out of the bottle is a little odd, and makes too much come out, but thats not much of a problem. Kind of hard to take the medication, but its worth it!
A wonderful product that more people need to experience. Maybe a bit overpriced if you don't use the medication.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Better than other brands of Acne skin solutions. Left my skin feeling clean, fresh and smoother than it had been in a long, long time. Plus, my mom uses Clinique and even she knows that it is a trusted, classic brand that's been around for years.
Cons:
none.
Went to [link removed] and signed up for the Clinique Beauty Boot Camp. It was quick, painless and I knew I had nothing to loose by joining. I'm excited because they are offering one of the largest product giveaways ever including a tour of the teen vogue offices and a day spent hanging out with Emmy Rossum. I love her, shes sooo adorable. They are also giving away tons of free Clinique acne solutions product and I could definitely use some free products!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Works very well on oily skin, I have tryed everything over the last 30 years for my oily problem but none have made the long lasting differance that S&C has. Does not over dry but is not a "do nothing" shin care soap either. Have used for years. A+A
Cons:
Price a little steap, but I have spent alot more on idems that were useless. Glad to find a product that works for a change.
Recomend this to anyone. Nice simi scrub with a drying agent as well. Have been using for about 8 years and very satisfied and will continue to use. try it you will like it !!! You have tryed everything else havent you!!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It leaves my skin feeling really soft. And it has a nice little smell to it.0
Cons:
Haven't seen any results yet. Just leaves skin soft. The toner burns like no other!
Hopefully this stuff works but from all I been hearing it doesn't! But alot of people are saying its leaving their skin dry, maybe they should read the instructions. Some of the products you have to wear only 2-3 a week. And some you have to wear before you wear one, like there is a order you wear it in. So maybe that's why it didn't work for them. But I have only had it for 3 days and so far so great!
Pros:
