Cons:
I thought this was working will for the first week but then it broke me out and then I got the biggest zit that I ever had in my life .it is also very drying and it will bleach your clothes white...it says that it might stain in the fine print...
Its not natural( I prefer natural products) so your skin will look bad when get older.....I you are using this stuff don't use it around your eyes this will start premature aging

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Calms my skin down right away, even when I feel an inflammatory spot starting, this will calm it down and stop it from getting worse. My face just feels healthier now, and I'm not getting any peeling like I did with 10% BP. So I'm a convert ot the 2.5%, and this really is the best bang for your buck (no fragrances, fillers, or acne-causing ingredients like in Clearasil).
Cons:
Takes a while to dry; can be drying if used without moisturizer.
Please keep making this product, my face really likes it!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
doesn't dry skin out, smells nice
Cons:
doesn't work like it swears it does.
it's not worth it.. it works pretty good for about a week and gets your hopes up, then it just stops working, probably because your skin gets used to it. totally not worth the money, and honestly the best thing to do is just visit a real dermatologist. it may be expensive, but atleast they know what they're talking about. DON'T WASTE $$ ON PROACTIV.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Dry, very strong, doesn't work well, expensive, poor customer service, poor delivery.
Cons:
It used to work.
I've used this product for more than a year and after a month it started to work but after a while this product is just a pain. Very expensive compared to other acne products and poor service I ended up refunding my last product and canceling account my. Do not buy this product seriously you won't benefit from it!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Starts to clear acne on first day.
Cons:
Drys out skin ...you must moisturize!
Does nothing for pores and blackheads.
Toner runs out to quick.
Can't wear makeup.
I have just started proactive and so far I have mixed feelings about it. On the very first day my face felt amazing and my acne seemed a hell of alot better. I even hoped I could go with out makeup for the first time in years. But now a week into the regimen my face feels dry and painfully irritated. My mom says my skin looks alot clearer and is getting much healthier. However according to friends and the proactiv site itself you must wait about three months before clear skin.According to them the first few weeks are the worse as the regimen starts to work drying out your skin, killing the bacteria. I plan on sticking to it and then talking to my doctor about an alternative regimen if it does not work. As I plan on having clear beautiful skin for when I go off to college in the fall. Wish me luck!
