Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Doesn't leave a layer of white when it dries, heals acne without excessive dryness
Cons:
Makeup doesn't go over it too smoothly, esp. when there's a thick layer; bleaches stuff, of course. Use white pillowcases!
This is, by far, the BEST BP cream you can buy. I used to buy the store brand 5% or 10% BP, but it always scorched my skin, leaving me with not only acne, but a red lobster face and neck as well. This cream is gentle and dries clear. If you want to wear it under makeup, just make sure not to use as much BP as you would after your nighttime cleansing.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
clearing of the skin
Cons:
runny lotion and smells weird
it's a great product but for me i combined proactiv and acne free i think you should pick what's best for you between the systems because some parts will work extremely well for you and some won't for me i switched the lotions and all i have left now are the dark spots which will eventually fade

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It makes your skin feel so clean and fresh. I works pretty well, my skin may never be perfect, but it helps a lot. The 2nd and 3rd step run out so fast though! The refining mask is defiantely my favorite!
Cons:
If you forget to use it for just one night, you just might be surprised about how much you break out.
The refining mask is an essential for overnight spot treatment, and if you start using Proactiv, try not to stop even for just one night.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
None
Cons:
Didn't do a thing.
I used it when it was first shown as an informercial on TV - so long ago that they didn't have a star to peddle it. Didn't do a thing - waste of money.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
I don't understand why this doesn't work for so many people. it has made my skin completely bump free for almost two years. it is slowly fading away marks and hopefully with the help of aha, they will be gone soon. although this is a godsend for my acne, it tends to leave my skin oily unless i use the correct moisurizer
Pros:
leaves a cool tingling sensation, prevents breakouts
