Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
But after using it for about 9 months, it doesn't get better. It doesn't get worse or better. You just get stuck in a rut, but it's more tolerable than before.
It did not change my skin type too much. I've always had oily skin and now it's less oily. It helped a lot. It actually is the only product I've tried though. When I use proactiv i also take this sulfur based pill called Clearac ([link removed]) and THAT made all the difference in the world. in combonation it worked the best. Try clearac!!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
Clears up acne quickly!
Cons:
Causes dry skin, but worth it!
I've been using this product for a few days and I've seen a dramatic difference. I've tried ProActiv and prescription medications, but this has been the best product so far.

Product used: Stridex (Power Pads)
Pros:
Cleared up and helped to heal existing acne
Cons:
Wish you could get bigger sizes, like 50 instead of 28 pads...
Been having a probem with mild/moderate acne. Since summer it's like a new breakout every day. Within 2 days of using these pads, no new breakouts, small zits are gone and others are healing. Not the only thing I use, but the only thing I've started using recently so I have to think that its helping a lot. Not harsh, gentle on skin.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
probably works better than anything i've tried. very affordable, large quantities that last awhile. you get a lot of bang for your buck, which is always appreciated.
Cons:
it's not an overnight miracle cure. not sold in stores. shipping costs.
it works pretty well but it's no miracle cure and you do have to be diligent with the program. the quantities are large, well priced and last awhile. you don't feel like you're getting ripped off. dan seems to really care about healing acne, not making a fast buck and is good about taking feedback and improving his products so they can be the best they can be at the best possible price.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
Works well
Consistency feels good
Helped clear up acne
Cons:
Price
This product works well. My regimen consists of washing my face with a purpose bar, and using this as my BP treatment. My skin type is pretty normal. It is not oily, but I still break out a lot. After a week of use this product has helped with new pimples, and started clearing up the old pimples within a few days. Will buy this product again.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Good customer service when I returned the product because it did absolutely nothing.
Cons:
DIDN'T WORK! Expensive, wanted to always keep it hidden because I didn't want others to know I bought an infomercial acne regiment. Dried my skin out slightly, definitely needed another moisturizer-another expense.
Not worth it at all. Don't buy it.

Product used: Clearasil (Daily Clear Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream)
Pros:
Ok, well I use this as a combo with my cleanser. I mix it with my face wash, as I don't like the feeling of keeping it on my face all day, as it dries it out.
I got the idea from my brother's bp face wash (rx only) and it has worked well.
Cons:
Dries.
If you use it with a cleanser and don't keep it on it works good.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The products are very user friendly and smell nice.
Cons:
Can have the ability to dru out skin on face as well as other areas.
I used Proactiv forquite a few months, and in the beginning it seemed to make my face so smooth and appear to begin looking more clear with exception of blemishes. Then I started to notice that my face was getting the bumps back on it, and also I noticed that my right hand had dry scaly-like places on it(which was the dominant hand that I would use to put on products). I stopped for a coupleof days to see if my hand would get better, and my face broke out even worse!! Now I have more bumps than I did before I started. I am at a loss because I don't want to continue this treatment at this rate! Maybe it works for some, but definitely not me!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Sometimes works.
Cons:
Often times doesn't.
I think that if you really stick to Dan's regimen this stuff will work for you. However, if you don't want to be forever globbing on chemicals of expensive (and potentially damaging to your skin), I would recommend finding a different approach.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Everything!!
I love the cool, refreshing feeling of the toner on my skin!
Cons:
The cleanser smells a little
I have only used this product twice (It's been on less than 24 hrs) but I already notice a huge difference in my skin. My skin has a more even color and my zits are already fading. by the way- it looks expensive- but for that price it lasts for 3 months!!!
Pros:
I had immediate results and I loved it!
