It smells really gross, it makes my face itch and sting a bit, i hate the gel texture, the cleanser is really hard to rub into your face. the screw on caps suck.
Bad product! Smelly, sticky, gross!!!

Product used: Benzac AC (Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Gel)
Pros:
Apply it every day for a couple of hours and it will dry up acne.
Cons:
I have very dry skin and this dries it out further. Horrible tight feeling, need to add a LOT of moisturiser to combat this. Burned when I put it on my nose.. moisturiser somehow made it worse and I had to wash it off. Only using it on jawline/ side of face acne.
I'm using it on jawline acne, had to stop using it on my nose because it burned. I would recommend it, definitely can see it drying up various spots but not if your acne is around the middle of your face or you have particularly dry skin.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Proactiv is by far an excellent product. Clears up acne 100%. I use it once per day and it works great.
Cons:
If I stop using it for a couple days I will break out again. My skin is not sensitive at all. My friends skin is and she can not use the toner.
Great product if you do not have really sensitive skin.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I worked pretty good-the refining mask was great!!!
Cons:
it made my skin red, but no bumps
also the oil treatment really dries out your skin- don't use it
I guess everyone is different- but I've used it for aobut a year, and it's still working pretty good, but you should probably also use it with a moisturizer

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
My son tried this product for 8 months. This product does not work it ruined my sons face who was 16 years old at that time now 17. He had very few acne before he tried this proactive then it got worse after treatment.
Cons:
Expensive and does not work. They have an excellent commercial to sell this product and would not recommend to someone to try because it is too costly.
Product doesn't work and the company have celebrities to advertise this product. Shame on them. It ruined my teenage son's face.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
it clears acne for a little bit
Cons:
it makes skin sensitive!!!! you burn and turn red
just don't use anything! its always better to leave ur skin natural. You beak out due to hormones and when you get older you will not break out soo much. I right now have acne and whiteheads all over my face. Also rough skin on my forehead and checks because I rubbed it! bad mistake, but i would have gotten soo much acne because if I didn't use the produce. it made my skin break out more. I wish i just listen to my parents and not use anything. they ahve nice skina dn so do my brothers and sisters. Its difficult for me becaue I am embarrasses of my skin. But it makes me feel better to tell peoople to just love ur skin and you don't need chemicals to improve ur skin. it will get better in time when you get older. I hope mine will.. good luck everyone. Be natural!
Pros:
Smells good
