Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Cons:
it dries out your face so you need a good moisturizer!
It works great, it clears away anything, and it is so worth the price. It dries out your face but if you have a good moisturizer your fine. (: GREATLY RECOMMENDED!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Made my skin clear in just a few weeks.
Cons:
Quit working after a year and 1/2
I had moderate acne when I started using proactiv, and within a few weeks of using the product my skin was considerably clearer. However, after using it foralittle over a year, it stopped working and my skin became progressively worse,more than before. My friend used it and it only worked for 6 months for her, and my cousin used it for about 2 years and now she is starting to see that her acne is coming back. While it worked great for around a year, after that it was worthless...in my experience

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
ProActiv makes my skin feel great. My face hasn't dried up or been itchy for a long time now, even in the winter when my skin gets pretty dry. It clears up a lot of my acne.
Cons:
I still get a good deal of break outs.
It worked great for my brother - it was completely gone after six weeks, never to return.
For me, I've been using it for about a little mroe than a year now and I still have a lot of breakouts. However, it has done a good deal to clean up a lot of annoying acne.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
none! it worked for about two days
Cons:
it smells funny, doesn't really work to help clear all acne, and made me break out more
i was really excited to use this thinking it'll clear my face. it worked for about 2 days and stopped there. even if i washed my face consistently, it didn't help at all.
it was a total waste of money and time for me.
on a side note...tea tree oil combined with my current cleanser seem to help a lot for me and i hear its suppose to be good for the skin!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Proactiv clears my skin when I apply it consistently. It "feels" like it's working and when applied correctly, leaves my face fresh and cleansed.
Cons:
A little easy to apply incorrectly. Can irritate your skin if you wash your skin too roughly. The three steps are a tad tiresome, and it's tempting sometimes to skip the whole procedure, especially at night.
When I began the normal, teenage acne phase, I wasn't having any of it, so I went to a Proactiv kiosk at my local mall after seeing one of the countless infomercials. I had been using Clearasil before, but it always left my skin looking slightly pocked and rough. I have been using Proactiv for over a year now, and I can genuinly say it has been the best solution I have found so far. In no way is it a miracle medicine, but what acne treatment is at the moment? Once I began to correctly use the product, my skin cleared up. It was amazing how well the system works. I never had severe acne, just the mild bout, but Proactiv clears it up until I can honestly say I have not one pimple on my body. I still occasionally get them now and again, but that's only because I would go on a chocolate binge or something like that. With the proper diet (no chips and excess chocolate for me!) and Proactiv as help, I am sure you can achieve the acne-free skin we all strive for. Best of luck in your search!
