Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Cons:
BP does stain fabrics so be really careful and its a must for it to absorb in BEFORE applying moisturizer.
This products does work! Although depending on your acne it may take some time. I always had great skin until my early twenties. For years I have tried everything under the sun (and most of them twice!) I ordered Dan Kern's BP along with other products back in March. I went through several cycles of clear up and break out. Now four months later my skin is clearing up and calming down. I actually went out with out make up for the first time last week! Just be patient it will work!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Easy to use, smell was refreshing (aside from the mask).
Cons:
A bit expensive.
I do not have moderate or severe acne, but do have annoying blackheads and whiteheads. Although Proactiv does lessen the amount of breakouts I have during 'that time of the month', they don't take care of the other skin stuff. Moreover, the cleanser seems to have been watered down recently and the astringent runs out about half as a fast as the rest of the stuff -- and I use equal amounts. Lastly, I stopped using this product for a week and my skin went INSANE. WAY more breakouts than I'd ever had before I started using it. Bottom line? I think it'd be great if you had moderate to severe acne. Don't expect it to handle blackheads or whiteheads, however.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I actually do like the smell and they now make it to where you can choose when to deliver and what products you want instead of the origional three step system.
Cons:
It makes my skin VERY dry and flaky both times I tried it this happened and it took me weeks to recover and lots of moisturizer. Not to mention I had so many more breakouts than before I started using the system.
If you have sensitive skin that dries easily I don't recomend this product. Once you start using it the stuff might work for a while but everyone that I know that has used this product say it comes back. Even if you are still using it!
