Product used: Quinoderm ((5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream)
Cons:
Definately needs to be used in conjunction with a moisturiser. If you have a recurring skin problem, don't stop the treatment. Your spots will return in a couple of days after you stop usage.
An amazing product. I haven't had luck with the Quinoderm facewash though. That seems harsher on the skin. You definately won't regret having this stuff in your toiletry cabinet. A dermatologist actually recommended this to me as a teenager and I thought I 'd never need it again. Lately i've had some frequent break outs which are leaving marks and recurring. So Quinoderm cream with Bio-oil are working wonders for me. Looking at everyones comments I've realised that it's actually overpriced down here.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It worked for a couple of weeks...
Cons:
and then it dried my face horribly. It took over a month after I stopped using it to get my skin back to normal.
I'd rather have some pimples than a face the consistancy of sand paper. I don't think that exfoliating your face every day is a good idea, and anything that bleaches your clothing...do you want that on your face?

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
I have tried almost every product on the market, including Proactiv. This product is affordable. I have been using it for a week and can see a great difference in my skin.
Cons:
Your face can become a little dry at first but using a snesitive skin moisterizer with SPF can cure that.
This product works. I have finally found a product that does what is promised.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Clears Acne very well, it's cheap, and anyone can use it
Cons:
Leaves skin very dry, but you can use other lotions after you wash your face
If you have tried everything but nothing seems to work, you should absolutly try this product! Just don't put it on to rough because it is grity and you might end up with worse acne!
March 15, 2008
Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Works at first.
Cons:
This product has mineral oil in it, which is bad for your skin. Don't use anything on your face that has mineral oil in it!
I used this product, not reading the ingredients. it has the benzoly peroxide which clears up the skin fast, but then it stops working and makes it worse than it was because it is a poorly made product with bad ingredients that are not beatifical to your skin and only make it worse.
February 8, 2008
Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
Excellent product. I have been using this for almost a month. I usually have oily skin and this product reduces the oil and greatly enhances my appearance. My son has also been encouraged to try this product for the same reasons. It is great.
Cons:
A bit itchy at times, but worth the itch.
Get it today, do not delay! I have tried many, many products and this is absolutely, positively the best yet!

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Works....
Cons:
I don't have sensitive skin, but for some reason, it makes my whole face red and extremely itchy. The redness lasted for a couple of days. The redness was worse than the acne itself. IT WILL DRY OUT AND IS EXTREMELY IRRITATING
DONT USE, UNLESS YOU HAVE THE STRONGEST SKIN ON THE PLANET
November 28, 2007
Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Cleared my face up within a few days. Used it for 2 years and went from 1 to 2 large, under the skin cystic zits per month down to none! Saved my wedding pics, showed a nice clear face.
Cons:
My pores have gotten a bit bigger on my nose I've notice lately. They are clean, but bigger. I wonder if it's from the small granules in the cleanser?
If you have acne, try it. It worked for me. I'm 26 and have had large zits for 10 years. This stuff works.

Product used: Quinoderm ((5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream)
Pros:
Works within the week of first use
Cons:
stop using it and acne comes back fast.
Burns and dry the skin
Its ok i guess.
Pros:
Works from day one. Skin feels smoother. I'm actually using bio-oil as a moisturiser and some Johnson's facewash with grapefruit and the results are amazing.I use it everyday in the morning and at night before sleep. I haven't had any skin irritation
