Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Cons:
Made skin irritated,dry, itchy, and burn.
Made lips very dry
Made eyes dry
I really wanted this product to work. I don't think it's a bad product, but I do think that my skin was allergic to something in it. I've used BP before and I new what to expect... drying, peeling, some irritation, etc. The only thing I can conclude is that I must have been allergic or really sensitive to one of the ingredients in the product. My skin felt like it was on fire and it made me really really oily all day. It also made my eyes extremely dry to the point of using eye drops (I did keep the product away from my eyes and lips). I finally had to stop using it.Overall, I think this is a good product for most, but can be troublesome if you have sensitive skin. You should give it a try to see how it works for you.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
Got rid of big zits.
Cons:
Left some scars and it is VERY VERY drying, Leaves a lot of redness in other pimples place sometimes even scarring. At first this caused my acne to spread out to my cheekbones but then got rid of them, but I still have the red marks.
It worked to some extent. It is cheap wouldn't really hurt to try for yourself. Not as great as I expected.

Product used: Klear Action (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Clears up skin. Doesn't burn my face like Proactive or make it insanely itchy. I have extremely sensitive skin, so I still have some breakouts. But Klear Action really really helps.
Cons:
Can be over drying, so I will wash my face only with water in the morning. Love the toner so much that I generally run out of it first.
Buy it, you won't be disappointed if you're having acne troubles. I have tried a lot of different treatments and none compare to this.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
none
Cons:
EXTREMELY dry and irritated skin. No improvement for acne...I think it actually got worse :(
I followed this regimen religiously for 6 weeks and not only was my skin extremely dry and irritated, my acne didn't clear up at all. I think all the irritation actually made my acne worse - my skin was flaky/peeling/red and hurt to touch or even move. This may work for some people, but I found out that my skin is very sensitive to benzoyl peroxide.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Bar)
Pros:
Clears pimples and helps prevent new ones.
Cons:
Dries you out a bit.
I suffered from acne with large, painful red pimples deep in my skin usually every other week. I started using Panoxyl and at first it didn't seem to do much but I have been using it for 10 months now and I have only had one of those horrible bumps since, I also have EXTREMELY oily skin and this seems to help with that as well. The only thing is you must use every day, if you stop using it for just a couple days your acne will come back much worse.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It smelled good,,
Cons:
The toner burned my skin like crazy! It didn't clear up my skin at all. If anything it made it worse.
It didn't work like I thought it would, like all the commercials said it would. I wasn't satisfied with it at all. I am sending it back for a refund because it was a waste of my money.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
cleared all my acne in two weeks. did not irritate or dry up my skin. cheap and sold everywhere.
Cons:
it did not work for my friend, who did not have acne as bad as me. it only irritated her skin.
my skin was always red and inflamed. i could not touch a spot on my skin without feeling my bumps, and to finish it off i had combination skin. i was so embarrassed of it. i saw an obvious difference in my skin the first day, thats how i knew it would help to clear all my skin. other products ive tried would leave my skin in worse condition the next day. this wont work for everyone, but give it a try. and be sure to moisturize!! i never used to do it, but after being on this site i took the advise and it really made a difference in my skin. I also use the asprin mask to help fade my acne scars and it is really fading them! i can see them lightening every time i use it. its recommended to use only once or twice a week, but i use it every other day. i am planning to start using it only twice a week. i also changed my foundation to Revlon ColorStay foundation this is my regimen-

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
OUTSTANDING PRODUCT!
Cons:
none, switched to all white sheets... no biggie
I'm 34 and have tried every acne treatment- prescriptions (pills, 15+ topical products, 2 rounds accutane), OTC (everything the drug store has) infomercial products (proactiv, murad..), I started the regimen on 10/1 and my skin is almost perfect!! I'm hoping this isn't temporary (like proactiv), it even got me through my monthly breakout with minimal problems. I use the BP and moisturizer morning and night, some days more, some less depending on dryness. The 2.5% neutrogena gives me hyperpigmentation for a few days after use (as does any other BP product) but I get none of these side effects with DK's product. The AHA is a fantastic spot treatment and has cleared any breakout FAST!! THANK YOU THANK YOU and don't you dare sell to a lesser company that will change this product to the other JUNK on the market!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It had a great fragrance, the mask really helps with pimples, i usually put a little bit on my pimple and the next morning the pimple had calmed down a bit.
Cons:
It made my skin REALLY! dry and itchy, i had dry flakes all over my face and even looked like an old lady, i stopped using it and i only attempt to use it when i have bad pimples but still i can' get my face back to normal as it is still dry.
I wouldn't recommend it for people with sensitive skin and really only buy it if you have BAD BAD BAD! acne.
