Small amounts of product
Adverse reaction
HORRIBLE customer service!!
I'm happy for those people that this product worked for unfortunately I am not one of them. My face completely broke out in a raised rash and then peeled off. I then had to begin the two month process of canceling my account. Absolutely ridiculous! I which I had never tried it!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Wash)
Pros:
got rid of some acne, made others smaller
Cons:
left my face red, burns when i use it, dries out my face
this stuff doesn't work too well. I mean, sure, it MIGHT get rid of SOME acne, but your face just gets waaaay too dry. That's saying something for me, cause my skin is super oily. It also makes my whole face red. Plus, it burns, but it might just be me and my friend.

I though Panoxyl bp gel was good, but acne.org bp gel is the best (less irritation)

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
well i guess there really aren't any.
Cons:
It made my whole face flaky. I have a very pale complexion, so it made my face really red. It looked like I got a sunburn.
It didnt do much. I have zits that are really deep in my skin with lots of post acne marks, it inflamed my skin and made my zits flaky and as a result, i didnt look too hot lol ;)

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
The bottle lasts especially for the price!
Excellent customer service
Cons:
It did not work
Caused more breakouts than normal
Extremely drying
I usually will not write a review about anything but I felt the need to express how bad this product was for me. Before anything, everyone should know I gave the product plenty of time: 8 weeks! At first, the product felt amazing on my skin and I noticed less blemishes appearing but with continued use, the product became less effective and more troublesome. I followed the instructions exactly but my skin kept worsening. Looking in the mirror became difficult! B aware that the treatment is not for every individual. So I contacted the seller and shipped the product back. By the way, the owner Steve Wills holds true to the money back guarantee! I will stick to using Purpose soap, witch hazel toners, and the complex 15 moisturizer for my skin. I just started this routine yesterday, so wish me luck!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
all natural ingredients
Cons:
if you actually look at the ingredients it is all oils..therefore clogging your pores, broke me out in cystic acne
I really really regret using this product. It made my face 10x worse. I fell for all of the positive reviews on their website.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
cheap
can send back
Cons:
made my skin break out so bad I had to stop using it.
My skin was pretty good and now I have the worst cystic acne. Please be very careful! I cried for days. As soon as I stop my skin started to clear but I think it may scar from this.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Looks likes it should work and the wash is nice.
Cons:
It seems to me that I got the AcneFree Sensitive pack. Well that came with a moisturizer, wash, and a spot treatment. The wash works a little but the rest is trash.
No.. No.No.

Product used: Brevoxyl-4 (Benzoyl Peroxide (4%) Cream)
Pros:
This works on any mild breakouts on the back or chest.
Cons:
Not useful on cystic acne on the face/jawline. I also find it bleaches clothing sometimes.
I have been on accutane twice. Both times, my skin cleared up beautifully. I went 1 year after the first one before breaking out horribly again. It's been 5 years since the last time, and now I'm getting horrible breakouts on my jawline and chin. It's depressing and annoying! The Brevoxyl does not help this at all. It's very frustrating. I am putting YES for recommend for back/chest but not for cystic acne or face.
Pros:
Hopeful that it would work.
