Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Animal Free
Fast Shipping
Free samples
Soap
Cons:
Wash was too harsh for me
A lot more acne on my face
After using this product for about a month it made my face BREAK OUT even in places I never had acne. It did make my skin soft but was still had acne on it. I now recently use Dan's and it mad a HUGE improvement on my skin. A lot of my acne that Carley's made is now drying by using Dan's. I am glad I stopped using Carley's and I will get my refund.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Made my skin feel more clean.
Cons:
I didn't notice too much of a deduction of zits on my face. Though to be honest I didn't use the third step of this product (which is a moisturizer).
If you use this product make sure you use all the steps and use it twice a day.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
none
Cons:
does not work
I've used Neutrogena on-the-spot acne treatment for a month or longer and I can say that it does not work at all. I had two small pimples that I could feel developing and applied this on them but within a few days they have gotten worse. For the pimples that were already present, this product does nothing to them. All it does is leave dead dry skin where I mostly apply it. It does not work at all.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
Lathered Well
Felt Nice on Skin
Got Rid of Some of my Acne
Cons:
Dried Out Skin
Made Skin Red, Itchy, Flaky, and Irritated
If you have sensitive skin this not the cleanser for you, but if you have really oily skin this might work for you. I have combination and I would only use on my T-Zone, and I was fine. Moisturizer is needed.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
- Big bottle that lasts a long time...saves u $$$$
- Controls oily complexions very well.
- Once your acne is under control you'll find that you can go without using this everyday. I've been on it for 5+ years now and I use it only 3-4 times a
Cons:
- Controlled oil and settled down my complexion almost immediately but took 3-4 months of consistent use before I started seeing the acne itself reside.
Patience is key.
Use this daily and stick with it! The way I do my morning routine is like this: 1. Wash my face with their natural soap. It's awesome!
2. Use the skin treatment scrub for 30 seconds all over my face, making sure to not rub too hard, but hard enough to make it feel like it's getting into my pores.
3. Rinse thoroughly
4. Wash again with the natural soap.
5. Lather up my face with the natural soap and use a hard bristled brush to scrub my face. They recommend using the a washcloth but I found that the brush is better. You can get this brush at Wal-Mart...it's the one with the buffer stone on the back.
6. Rinse thoroughly. After I get out of the shower, while my face is still a little wet, I'll use 2-3 drops of jojoba oil as my moisturizer. That's it! Natural soap, high quality ingredient scrub, and natural oil for a moisturizer. My face has never been happier!
