Cons:
â— takes some longer to get used to the awesomeness
I love the acne.org products, I am very fortunate to have discovered them, and I hope someone reading this review will purchase these products because they are so amazing, trust me, they WILL work! Unlike other acne products that claim to "give you clear skin in just 1 day", this product line actually does what it says it does, which is hard to find these days!
Why should you buy the big kit as opposed to the other kits? Well, the big kit has lots more product, and it's environment friendly! If you want clear skin, GET THESE PRODUCTS, and follow the regimen precisely! Overall, I love these products, they are awesome!

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
works fast
not as harsh as some acne systems
clears up blackheads
Cons:
expensive
drying
I developed moderate acne beginning at about age 20 after I had my son. I tried all kinds of facial cleansers and none seemed to help, so I finally tried both Clean & Clear Advantage & Proactiv- BIG mistake! They were both extremely harsh and made my skin dry out, flake, and burn. After using them, my acne became worse and I developed these little whiteheads all over my chin that were never there before. Nothing would get rid of them! Many of them would develop into large zits as well. A friend recommended Clinique to me...said it was worth the money...so I went and bought it about a week ago and I love it! The large pimples on my skin dried up pretty much overnight and a week later, the whiteheads are just about gone. Not to mention those annoying blackheads on my nose have cleared up a ton! It is a bit drying but tolerable, and I've found if I use Nivea or another light moisturizer afterwards, this helps and doesn't make me break out.

Product used: Quinoderm ((5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream)
Pros:
Visibly reduces majority of acne in just a few days
Cons:
Burns skin
Causes huge red rash
Causes severe flakiness
Massively dries out skin
Be very cautious before using Quinoderm. Having suffered from acne for nearly 10 years, I wanted something that would work to clear up the remainder of the spots on my chin. I have tried many prescription medicines, from topical creams and lotions, to oral methods, and nothing massively improved my acne, with the exception of the contraceptive pill that I have been on for the past year or so. However, even that hasn't cleared my chin up completely, and I still feel very self conscious of my skin. Having read a number of positive reviews for Quinoderm, and it seemingly being a great price and easy to obtain, I decided to try it. This was an awful decision, and I'd go as far as to say it is the worse product I have put on my skin. Admittedly, after just 48 hours of applying the cream 2-3 times a day, as instructed, I could see a significant improvement on my spots. However, after about 3 days of using the product, I woke up with a large red rash across the affected area. Although this wasn't ideal, it could easily be covered up with make-up. By day 4 this rash had turned into sore and incredibly dry skin that was peeling, and stung every time I applied moisturiser. I couldn't even put an even coverage of make-up on as my chin was so flaky. It took over a week for the skin to heal, even with using e45 cream up to 4 times a day. I don't have particularly sensitive skin, so I dread to think what effect it would have on anyone who did. Clearly this cream works wonders for many people as there are so many positive reviews for the product, so possibly it is worth a try but, like I said, I would try with caution! And maybe for some people extremely dry, painful, red and flaky skin is better than spots, but not for me.

Product used: Benzefoam (Benzoyl Peroxide Emollient Foam)
Pros:
Everything Clear my skin in 3 days!
Cons:

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Can clear face of acne.
Cons:
Expensive, must use it everyday, will dry skin without moisturizer, bleaches colored cloth( dry face only with white towels), irritates skin.
Bottom line is it works but not immediately, acne starts forming under your skin a week or two before it's actually visible so proactive prevents the formation of acne, plus, your skin needs to get used to the harshness of the benzoyl peroxide in the cleanser. If you use all 3 steps correctly than, overtime, it should work very well. I have been using it for 8 months and I my skin is clear, what more could you ask from a face wash?

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Refining mask is ok as spot treatment.
Cons:
Expensive, terrible customer service. Terrible!!!!!
Drys out skin, bleaches towels an clothes and eyebrows and hairline.
Makes acne much much worse!
If you have acne I really hope you do not bother with this terrible product. I think the women who put this product out should go to jail for a while for scamming desperate innocent people who are suffering from painful embarrassing acne.
My acne is almost gone now an this is what I did. Keep in mind everyone is different. I use a Clairisonic brush and Boscia clearing face wash. That brush is sooo worth the money. I also use Peter Thomas Roth spot and area treatment. It is fantastic. If the Clairisonic is too much than try the Clairisonic Mia. It is less expensive. I also eat healthy and drink water and keep my skin hydrated. If you have acne you have to keep your skin hydrated. I use Clinique oil free Moisturizing gel. Don't bother with Proactive. The ingredients are terrible for your skin and are PROVEN to make acne worse. If you can, go to a "real" dermatologist. Good luck!!

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Cleared out my acne in about a month
Works fast
Cheap and can be found at Wal-Mart
Cons:
Dries out the skin
Peeling of skin
This medication worked great on my skin! I've been on Accutane before and right after I got off that my acne just appeared all over again. My mother found this at Wal-Mart and picked it up for me and I used it for a month and it's keeping my acne away. It's amazing and fast working! Only problem is it dries the skin out but I would rather have a clear face then having acne. :)

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
-WORKS!
-Newer ones absorb into skin better
-Not as irritating as other spot treatments
-If you don't use too much at once the tube lasts a while
-Will definitely see improvement overnight.
Cons:
-Just a tad expensive, but it is SO worth it for clear skin.
-Doesn't get rid of the zit in 4 hours, but it definitely makes it smaller and much less red!
I've used this for.. gosh, around 3 years! In the first year it worked, but now this newer version of it (a little more watery looking) is even MORE effective! I used to use it when i had moderate acne and it helped but its definitely for people with light acne, cause i went to a dermatologist and now i have light acne rather than moderate. SO now i just get bigger pimples every once and a while. When i have stubborn pimples that i would like to get rid off, i look to this great product. I use it at nightime and when i wake up in the morning it's gone! For example, last night, I had a pretty big, tender spot on my forehead. It's the night before thanksgiving dinner so i was determined to eliminate it at all costs. i have a few spot treatments (clean and clear persa gel, c+c advantage, neutrogena rapid clear spot eliminating gel, etc) but I came to this one. I put it on and went to bed. This morning (thanksgiving day), I woke up, and the pimple was gone! There is just a very faded red patch where it used to be which is SO easily covered with a touch of make up or concealer. This is definitely a FANTASTIC spot treatment. If you want to get rid of your pimples, then please get this product! it's the best clearasil product on the market! ( - :
