Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Cons:
Leaves skin dry, cleansing brush to ruff
This product is horrible. I will not continue to use it. It left my skin in worse than before. I regret using it. The brush is so ruff it left me with acne scars and dark spots. Now my complexion is ruined with acne marks and my face is peeling like crazy. It has not cleared my acne at all. Now im really embarrassed with the condition of my skin. The product is way to harsh for your skin. Do not use!

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
Smells Nice
Cheap
Cons:
Doesn't do anything
This is the first acne treatment I have ever bought (when I was 10 now im 12). It's the smallest f**king tube ever and IT DOESNT DO ANYTHING. Since it's a cream, it didn't absorb it just dried into a little crust on my face. DON'T PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT.

Pros:
Not a single 1 for me.
Cons:
This took me from light acne to severe acne, very drying... Just not a goos product at all for me.
I was so excited to try this, i had light acne on my chin and that was it, after using this for 3 weeks my acne is so horrible, idk what to do. I am in shock at the way this left my skin, i read so many good reviews on this and wish i had 1 to add but noooo this product is no good for me.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
cleared up acne
smells good
gentle
prevents new acne
Cons:
doesnt help dark spots much
My first week, my whole face cleared up. My skin wasnt too dry afterwards but i used moisturizer, the only thing i wish it did was clear up the dark spots after a pimple, but they go away on their own after 3 weeks. I LOVE IT!!!

Product used: AcneFree (Terminator)
Pros:
None
Cons:
Everything
Acne free is a horrible acne line. Made with the most cheap ingredients. It's extremely harsh on your skin and the consistency is just horrid. Acne free doesn't know how to make acne products, stay away.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
I used this product twice, after that my skin came up dry , irritated and red, my upper eyelids have swollen up and im completely embarrassed about what this product has done to my face. I AM NEVER USING IT AGAIN, I have suffered from acne for 2 years and thought a new facewash would be a good change, Its the worst product ive ever use. I do not recommend this for anyone.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Seller is communicative and refunded my payment (inc shipping).
Cons:
Product did not work, and I followed the instructions carefully for 3 entire months.
Clogged my pores and dried my skin.
I had moderate forehead acne and it not only dried my skin, but also clogged my cheek pores and I started getting acne on my cheeks. Many people have been saying you have to stick to it to work, and I did! But I guess it just doesn't work for everyone. It didn't even help with any existing pimples. If you know you have sensitive skin I would not recommend. Exfoliating everyday takes a huge toll on your skin.
