Product used: Benzac AC (Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Gel)
Cons:
dry skin, redness :)
it really works! i swear! mine is benzac ac acne wash, it's effective! i'm using it for 2 months now and see improvements, couples of scars remained and new pimples form occasionally, but they are smaller and goes away faster, i use celeteque facial wash then use this, after that i use celeteque moisturizer, i trust celeteque bcuz it's non-comedogenic and oil free :)

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I get compliments all the time on my skin about how its smooth/clear from girls and how its soft from guys. There is no need for me to wear make-up all over my face anymore.
Cons:
Its is kinda expensive(for a poor college student) I broke out more after I started using it but I kept at it, and it cleared right up.
You have to keep at it!! I started using it in High School. Yes, it made me break out more the first month but it vanished just as quickly. I guess because my skin was adjusting/clearing itself out. You have to discover through trial and error..and yes maybe a little effort/experimentation, how to manipulate the system to work for you. I myself use more toner. I keep the mask on overnight on pimples, when I do get them, and they clear up in 1-2 days. I do performance work, so my complexion is important to me. This stuff works and i've recommended it to fellow co-workers and they are just as happy with the results. Just grin and go on and give it time.

Product used: The Regimen
Pros:
Well organized
Cons:
Make my skin red
Irritated it
It did not work for me. I have heard great things, but it did not work for me. The whole regimen made my entire face red because it basically burned my face. It looks as if I have sunburn now. As far as acne, I seem to have the same amount as before.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
I can't remember...
Cons:
Left my sensitive skin very dry and irritated.
I used this product for a while when I was about eleven or twelve and it broke me out very badly. I am now 14 going on 15 in March and my skin is pretty much relatively clear.. I LOVE my Noxzema, which I have been using for almost five months now, but now that my jar is out and I haven't had the chance to go back out to town to buy more of it, I was thinking of giving THIS product another shot, as I found it when I was looking through my medicine cabinet (aka my facial products/lotion cabinet lol) and thought I'd take a look at reviews online. I'm trusting the majority of the reviews and I'm going to use it now, but I'm definitely going to follow up with a lotion just in case. Wish me luck!
Pros:
dries my pimples and lessen my white and blackheads!
