Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Cleared (most of) my skin
Made it softer
Cons:
Still get frequent blemishes
Extremely drying
My skin still gets oily mid-day
Toner runs out very fast
I started using this product about a year ago. I was fourteen and I was fed up with my acne that had been moderate/highly moderate for the past two years. I saw the commercials and decided to finally give this product a try, seeing as I had been all over the board with about five or six other products. I ordered it and it was shipped to my house. I began using it and I broke out, but then after about a month or two my skin began to become clearer, but I still couldn't get rid of the acne. After about six months my skin began to begin to clear up for the most part, but I was never fully clear. I still use it now (along with Neutrogena Moisturising Lotion, which seemed to be the only thing that worked) and I'm tired of looking into the mirror and seeing acne. I'm about to switch products.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The lotion smells nice
Cons:
I think it causes more problems then it does good. I went from a couple issues a week to a couple issues more a day. My face looks likea target hit with bird shot from 100 yards out.
I WOULDN'T buy this product again. I got better results from Wal Mart brand facial cleaners. I personally think proactiv hired make-up artists to make these commercial people look like haunted house spooks then washed it off to reveal a face of someone without any problems to start with! It's not letting me send it as a 1 rating so if this does go thru, don't read into my rating there.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Easy to return if you havn't opened package. Does work
Cons:
Too much
If you don't like the cleanser they also give you a toner lotion and mask (the mask does wonders!) so it's good for how many chi=oices you have.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Nothing
Cons:
EVERYTHING!
K so this I have been looking into a very long time. It sounded like the wonder cure. I have very bad cystic acne along my jaw and I have cysts on my cheeks and some whiteheads in other places on my face. Wow, I had no idea my face could get worse! I really wanted this to work with all the amazing reviews and the refund policy was nothing I could turn down... Unfortunately, it didn't work for me and I personally think that all these great reviews for this product are fake and made just to out way the bad ones... Idk but PLEASE don't fall for what I did!
Pros:
None
