Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Cleared up most of my acne
Cons:
I heard it caused premature aging and was bad for my skin
If you want a quick fix a month before prom, use this for a month. If you want a long-term acne product, I would not suggest this. It is very bad for your skin.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
I had acne on my cheeks. and nothing would ever make it go away. I tried acne free and it worked amazing. then whenever i ran out of the first kit, i tried the clean and clear skin clearing system. Acne Free works much better than clean and clear.
Cons:
Bleaches clothes/ towels
it defidently works. i dont go a day without it!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
This product works. It makes your acne worse for the first two weeks, but then you'll see major improvement. Most people don't use it consistently but if you do it should work.
Cons:
It is expensive and the three step system has teeny weeny bottles that last about a month and a half.
You should buy this if other stuff hasn't worked. My dermatologist prescribed EVERYTHING: retin a, differin, atralin, benzaclin, and pretty much all the meds. Strangely, Proactiv has shown better improvement. Every three months at my visit she would prescribe a different medication, each about 50 to 100 dollars each, I was using 3 products at a time. It was just too much money for something that wasn't working. IT would keep my acne mild, but never clear it. So proactiv has worked way better!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
1. Works well
2. Doesn't dry out my skin
3. Effective
Cons:
NONE
I have blemishes and acne on my cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin. I've used this product for about 3 days and I've noticed such a difference. My acne and blemishes are subsiding and the redness has vanished. However, if your skin gets dry use St. Ives Apricot Scrub on your face after you use this acne product. Remember to scrub your entire face really hard because it takes away all the dry skin. I always use my palms to scrub my face because it works amazingly!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
- made skin feel softer
- took dryness from my skin
Cons:
- price
- I got confused with all the different products (i have 5.)
- stung a little when I first put it on
I just started using it today actually, so I didnt have time to see improvements, but after using the toner, my face got extremely red and stung a little bit. I continued to step 3, and my face looked and felt so soft after it dried. I then applied the moisturizer and it made my skin even softer, and the redness faded. My face isn't dry for now, and my skin has a certain glow to it. I'll write another review in a few days, just to update. For now, it's looking good.

Product used: Nature's Cure (Two-Part Acne Treatment System for Males)
Pros:
It wasn't too pricey to try out. The packaging made it easy to keep track of dosage. Oral tablets appealed to me for treatment of acne.
Cons:
Just another 'Miracle Drug'. Doesn't do anything it says it will. My acne hasn't changed one bit for the better, and has actually gotten worse multiple times over the course of the one month I used this product. Waste of Money! I agree: Total Scam.
I've used both name brand and non-name brand face washes (exfoliating and non-exfoliating). They worked in the beginning, but then my skin adjusted and it was a headache to have to keep switching types and brands. Spot treatment cream was used in conjunction with the face wash; this helped, but just made my skin produce more oil in between applications. I then decided to jump on the bandwagon and try out Proactive. The 'Bonus' items in the first kit are a trade off for smaller portions of the main treatment supplies. Proactive was time consuming to apply the three-part treatment twice daily, but I do have to say that it worked quite well for the first month or so. I continued use, but then my condition worsened again with time, so it was an pointless process. I discontinued use and decided to try out Nature's Cure for Males. No improvement at any point during the one month use of the supply. Such disappointment that I felt the need to warn others of the scam. Next step: Prescription.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
panoxyl bar is amazing. This works coz benzoyl peroxide kills bacteria that causes it. I tried everything. THIS WORKS. DONT USE ANYTHING ELSE !!!
Cons:
Dry skin better than Oily skin. So use this soap !!
DONT WASTE TIME & MONEY ON OTHER PRODUCTS . TRY THIS SH.IT COZ ITS THE SH.IT YOU NEED !! END OF F-KG DISCUSSION !! PEACE OUT !!!
Pros:
I absolutely love this product! I've been using this for 3 yrs now and its the only thing that will keep my skin clear. I've tried using other products if I run out and my face breaksout and goes back to what it was before. I'll never run out again!
