Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Cons:
No help with scarring, dried my skin out to the point that it was flaking, brings out the pimples at first. Astringent stings.
You have to be consistent with any product you use.. there is going to be pros and cons with every product despite what reviews say.. may it be fragrance or the stinging of the product.. There is also emergency benzoyl cream. its 17.50 canadian i highly recommend you purchase this product.. it works very well.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Truly does help acne
Cons:
Doesn't completely stop acne
I would still get breakouts, but it was MUCH less often while using proactiv. I think it's a great product, but am trying different options. Russell

Pros:
The best Acne product I have ever used, It quickly eliminates pimple
Cons:
Start using it once a day because may make your skin dry out. Do not use all over your face (Just on the target). I recommend using a moisturizer
guys this product really works!!!. I have had acne for 12 years and I have tried several products but nothing works so good like this one. After have read these reviews on acne.org I decided to try zapzyt, it has been a week now and my face has been almost cleared up. I could not find this product in Canada so I had to buy it online and pay shipping expenses but it is worth.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
Made my pimples fewer and much less agressive when they do appear and go away faster.
Cons:
A little bit drying, but I use moisturiser to counteract it.
My skin is clearer, have les scars and way fewer breakouts. My skin is clearer and looks fabulous, I've had so many compliments on how good my face looks and all those people who have been using far mor expensive products cannot believe that around $10 lasts me a month. I love this product, after years of cleansers, toners, scrubs, lotions, potions and pills, I've found a simple twice daily cream that really works. I'm 40 years old and my acne is hormonal.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Cán't think of one
Cons:
makes my face really red and dry
expensive shipping
I used this product for 2 weeks, starting slowly, just like Dan's instructions. The 1st week was just fine, but during the 2nd, most parts of my face were turning red,and peeling. My parents started to ask me all the time if I was ok, and at the end of the 2nd week, they told me to stop using it.
It has been 2 days and my face is still dry.
I'll try again, but this time, with a verrryyy small amount.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Great ads and comercials but other than that it is useless
Cons:
It wont work! I used it for one yr and a half not and my skin looks the same. I used every day.
You should try somethiing else, keep trying, try proactiv too it may work for you! Best way is to see a doc and get a laser treatment which can be expensive though

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
-Great Value for the Money, affordable
-Does not over dry or irritate skin much
-Seller is professional and has good Communication
Cons:
None
This product is amazing. I have tried Nuetrogena, Clearasil, St. Ives, Clean and Clear, Even Murad Acne Complex...and Carley's stands head and shoulders above these! I recommend buying from eBay and using the natural soap they include, it real does feel amazing. If you have very sensitive skin like me, you may get a few breakouts before it really starts working, but for the most part, it will work like a charm. Do not get discouraged! I also recommend (REALLY) following the directions. I am a bit lazy and did not want to wash my face at night with the natural soap (included on eBay) but I feel it really helps the actual Carley's skin treatment work. Please,try this is everything else has failed.
You do not need expensive kits to clear up your acne, this should do it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
IT SUCKS
Cons:
didn't work even a little bit. had a weird smell. burned my skin when applied.
ADVICE: stop guessing, go to a dermatologist, not a doctor. my doctor made me try 1000000 useless creams before sending me to a dermatologist.
-do not buy.
-does not work.
-jessica simpson's a liar.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Its affordable and its shipment is speedy.
Cleared up my acne for four months and had a nice smell, but...
Cons:
The face broke out even more! According to my friend who used it, it peeled away the top layer of skin and left it vunerable to more ACNE! It was terrible! My face got use to the product!
Proactiv, even though it sounded promising, it wasn't cut out to be everything I had expected. Proactiv delievered clear skin, but it killed my face and left me with even worse acne than before. I recommned to acne victims, do not fall for Jessica Simpson's claims - they are false!
Pros:
It helped clear my skin, but ive been using it for three weeks.. and hasnt totally cleared it.
