Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It cleared up the pimple overnight.
Cons:
My face broke out worse than it was to start with! My face ended up being really blotchy,itchy, dry, scaley. It's horrible.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. It literally makes my face itch like crazy. It became dry, really red, and more broke out than what it started as. I really did not like this product. I can't get over the fact that it's suppose to work and clear your skin overnight, and when you wake up, sure the pimple you wanted gone is gone, but you have more to deal with. If you use the cleanser on your fact, whereever you put it, your face will break out extremely bad, hense the dry and itchy face. Also, I don't like the fact that it's auto-renewal, and it's a pain to get that cancelled.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Nothing
Cons:
Doesn't get rid of acne. Stings my eyes even when it's not on them, just around them.
Don't buy this product. Did nothing for my skin. I squeezed half of it down the drain, because I wanted to buy a cleanser that actually worked!

Product used: The Regimen
Pros:
None!!
Cons:
Burning/stinging pain when you apply it, it dries out your skin so bad, very harsh, gave me a horrible red rash!
This product is so harsh on your skin it burns when you apply it then dries out your skin severely. I developed a painful red rash from just a couple uses of the treatment. This made my skin worse rather than better. I would go to a professional dermatologist and not waste your money on this.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
clear up the spots
make skin look smoother
inexpensive
Cons:
dries out the skin
new spots are still appearing
I am using PanOxyl 10% Acnegel which had helped me (it still does) a lot! I got really severe acne when I moved to Thailand and after reading a review on benzoyl peroxide I decided to give it a try! At first my skin was red, then it got dry and flaky (originally I have oily skin) and finally I realized that it works!
Usually I apply it to my face once a day, covering the spotted areas. I tend to get more breakouts before my period, if so I use it twice a day. Yes, it makes my skin oily and dry at the same time (because of the hot and humid weather) but I try to balance it by using moisturising facial wash (Cetaphyl or Smooth-E). It doesn't stop me from breaking out though, so I'm planning to try accutane in nearer future but I'm not going to stop taking PanOxyl by any means!
Pros:
It got rid of a few zits.
