Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Cons:
A bit of the smell
I switched over to Clear Pores because of the dryness and pimples which were appearing after I had used Proactiv. Ever since I have been using clear pores, I have witness minimal pimples or skin drying. It's really working very well for me. I would surely like to recommend this product more than Proactiv.

This is the best I've used yet. No irritation and it smells a lot better than any other acne treatment. The cleanser is amazing.
Cons:
The lotion doesn't smell the greatest.
Works great. No irritation, dryness, redness, anything. Quick results, smells good (except lotion. Lasts 2 months.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Keeps skin clear and beautiful!
No white residue
Feels smooth and silky to put on skin
Cons:
Can bleach fabrics
Can leave dried up residue around the dispensing hole (no big deal)
This stuff has saved my life. I started on the regimen using Oxy 2.5% benzoyl peroxide cream which did work well, but left that white residue, and came in a tiny bottle. This stuff feels MUCH nicer to apply and lasts a whole lot longer. Also, my skin has never looked so good! I started getting acne in grade 4. I've been on tetracycline from the dermatologist (which made me very nauseous) and tried many other acne products. Nothing has compared to this. It's so easy to use, and best of all, very cost efficient! I can't sing its praises enough. I tell EVERYBODY about it. I even look at old pics of myself where I THOUGHT I was having a good acne day and cringe because it is such a drastic difference! What a self esteem booster to have clear skin, finally, after all these years!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
PRo activ works good it has decrease the acne that has once appeared on my face.
Cons:
When i use Pro activ i have to put extra moisturizing cream on my face to reduce the dryness of my skin
Buy it believe me its worth it, i used to be afraid to go out in public becase of my acne. When i was introduce this product i immediatk=ly tried it and it cleared my face up.....later i get so many compliments!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
They have great customer service.
Works on my nose where there are blackheads
Cons:
Increased Breakouts everywhere else except nose
My skin reacts differently than my nose
I use this product only on my nose where I get blackheads because it increases breakouts everywhere else and i haven't found another acne product that works. I'm scared to use any other acne products.

Product used: Stridex (Power Pads)
Pros:
A great BP treatment to take on your travels.
Cons:
Expensive, a lot of packaging but if used just for travel, that is actually a plus.
Not feasible for everyday use. I use either the Neutrogena On The Spot or Cleanser/Mask w/ 3% BP for everyday. But when I travel, these are a godsend. You can get a full day's use out of each pad if you wrap it in plastic.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel)
Pros:
Less whiteheads & smoother skin. The whitheads disappeared within 3 days, and havent returned! I have quite fair skin, and it actually made my face quite tanned. I also like the fact the product is more or less unscented.
Cons:
Very dry skin during the first 2 weeks. You must use a moisturiser. You must increase the dosage slowly, otherwise your skin will become very sensitive and incredibly dry.
You need to be patient, your skin won't become perfect overnight. The dry skin is a pain, but I would prefer to have dry skin to very oily skin! In my opinion I think the benefits are well worth the side effects such as dry skin. It's very cheap to buy in the UK (about £3 although I got mine free on prescription basis)Overall I would recommend that everyone should try it, I think its a brilliant product!

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
MAKES MY SKIN SOFT AND NOT AS OILY AS IT USED TO BE
Cons:
I KIND OF WISH IT WAS ALL IN ONE....BUT 3 STEPS ISNT THAT BAD
I HAVE TRIED PROACTIVE, BENZACLIN, MURAD, DIFFERIN, ETC AND NOTHING WORKED LIKE THIS. I HAVEN'T BEEN ON IT THAT LONG BUT I SEE A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT. I HAVE NO MORE BIG UGLY PIMPLES. JUST A FEW SMALL ONES.
Pros:
Effective and Cheap
