Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Cons:
Made my skin worse. I think it has a lot of oils in it.
I bought the product because of all the hype and really hoped that it would work for me. I was really disappointed. My skin is naturally oily and this made it a lot worse. I got pretty big cystic zits from it and had the return it. I serious think that there's stealth marketing campaign for this product that the admin of the site need to look into.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
It makes your skin feel like you just rubbed an entire log of poop on it. So good, it even increases your pimples!! It did wonders to my acne-free face!!
Cons:
none
After about 2 days of use, my face was so full of pimples, you couldn't even tell my skin color! It's amazing the power of innovation and technology these days...I mean, who would have thought that an acne-ridden face turns on just about every single chinaman around? Wow! Thank you so much!! If it weren't for Oxy, I'd still be sitting in my bamboo hut rubbing gorilla crap on my face... Thanks a million!!

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Bar)
Pros:
Clears skin
1 bar lasts long time
Cheap
Cons:
Drying
This is all I use for acne management. I thought I had tried everything on the market for acne, but could never get rid of my cysts. Well, one day I went to the urgent care for pink eye, and while I was there the doctor saw my face and just wrote me a script for acne. She also said to wash with benzoyl peroxide. Needless to say I tried the bar. For having a sensitive face, my skin does well with this product. I occasionally get the one cystic acne (especially during my cycle) but it is not all over my face as previously. This bar is drying so I only use it once every other day (and use a bar of Aveeno on my "off" days to remove makeup. It has caused my skin to itch at first, but that was quickly remedied by a good moisturizer (Aveeno Ultra-Calming). I use this bar in the shower to avoid unnecessary bleaching of clothing, and I pull my hair back also. I am greatful to the LORD ALMIGHTY to have a product that works so well. Rather than be fustrated I actually get comments on my clear skin from customers at work. btw for those of you who have noticed that this product is no longer on the shelves, I called the manufacturer and they are just switching plants, and it should be available again in or around September. In the meantime feel free to do what I did is called several Walgreens (or any store) and stock up!

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Bar)
Pros:
Wonderful product! Benzoyl Peroxide is the only thing that works on my acne. Being 39 years old, I find some of the Clearasil/Oxy products too harsh for my skin - this does not dry out "more mature" skin, nor does it sting or burn. Also very long lasting if you allow to dry out after using (don't let sitting in a wet dish)
Definitely recommended! Plus, you can find it at grocery stores and don't have to belong to a "plan" like ProActiv or MaxClarity.
