Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Cons:
Drys out skin like crazy
This product MUST be used with a moisturizer. It drys out your skin, but in turn the moistureizer makes skin softer. This product worked okay on exsisting acne, but worked GREAT on appearing acne. I had to reduce the usage to every other day, as my skin was so dried out.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Works well, smells pretty good.
Cons:
Expensive, dries out the skin, and you need to buy the pricey green tea moisturizer to treat the dry skin it causes.
I had really bad acne, it didn't work at first and I stopped using it. A few months later, I went to the dermatologist and started taking antibiotics which cleared my face up quite a bit, but I still had some mild acne. I decided to start using Proactiv again and it cleared my face completely. I think it is a great product. The only downer is that it is super expensive and you have to buy the Green Tea Moisturizer which is also sold by Proactiv.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
It is cheap AND effective!
Cons:
The application process is time-consuming, and it will bleach out all your hand towels
I have tried many acne cures, but this will be the last, as there is no need for me to look any further! It worked like a charm for me. After the initial 8-week period, my skin was clear and I was able to drop down to one application a day (at night).

Pros:
price
Cons:
made my acne WORSE. I broke out even more. It dries out your skin and the cleanser DOESN'T EVEN CLEANSE!!! I really wish I never bought it because my skin has gotten so much worse. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT...SPEND THE MONEY ON SEEING A DERMATOLOGIST.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
Works good and fast.
Cons:
Dried skin.
It worked fast and well. Although I was using it twice a day, it dried my skin. I only use it once a day before bed and my skin is not as dry. It tingles after rinsing, but goes away after a while.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Makes your face feel clean I guess
Cons:
The toner burns like heck! Really dried out my face and made it painful for days after using it just once!
I would not use this, I tried it about 3 months ago, was in pain while using it but though my face /skin would get used to it. After maybe a month I stopped using it, still hurt afterwards. 2 nights ago I figured I'd try it again, have not used it since because my face is dry and painful from one time use!
August 5, 2008
Pros:
Worked at preventing acne for the first few months.
Cons:
The price.
Didn't do much for existing acne.
There are certainly much more affective and reasonably-priced benzoyl peroxide moisturizers out there. Save your money.
Pros:
Very strong stuff
works well on forming zits
