Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Cons:
None--though the large and painful zits do still appear--however I like that this was not touted as a "miracle product" that would solve all of my problems overnight. And my acne is most definitely under control and much less noticeable.
I am very happy with this product as part of the acne.org regimen. I have had the best results of my life with these products. (Have had adult acne for 13 years approx.)

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
clears up redness, reduces amount of pimples, stops them coming back and.. kinda tighens the skin so its probably good if your'e face is all saggy aha
Cons:
dries out your skin hell bad and burns like a B*TCH but it's worth it
makes your face feel uncomfortable for about an hour after application but my acne was all over my face and horrible and now its getting sooo much better though im unsure how long it will last

Product used: Benzac AC (Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Gel)
Pros:
- Clears up if you put a thin layer on twice a day
- Dries clear and non-flaky unlike cream BP
- Doesnt sting and doesnt give you red irritated skin like sal. acid :)
Cons:
- AUD $15 bucks a tube, can be expensive if you use it on your back and chest
- Doesnt help with really, really, deep bumps
It's the best thing I ever bought for my skin, and I've used every single supermarket brand. Use the 2.5% if you dont have pus-filled spots (or if you are starting Benzac), use 5% if you have redness and pus and blockage, use 10% if you have deep under skin cysts. Give it at least 3-4 weeks. :)

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
its natural, no preservatives
skin is rediculously soft
Cons:
i still have acne, skin is softer then ever but i think theres a chemical in the wash that my face just doesnt mesh with,
try it, this one is definatly teeterin on helpful and just a waste of time, becuase it does make your skin ravishingly soft but it didnt really do anything for me, and i have been using over 6months sooooo.....i have gave it enough time to sink it it just isnt right for me i think:

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
This product works great! I have always had a problem with acne and finding something affordable that works is nearly impossible. Until I found this product.
Cons:
None. My skin has been acne free since I started using it.
This is the best affordable acne product on the market today!! I will continue to use it faithfully.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It made my pores smaller and softened skin. They have good advertising because it's the only thing off the TV I have ever been sucker enough to buy!
Cons:
Still had the same amount of breakouts. Time consuming. Expensive (small bottles).
I've been using the stuff for about 3.5 weeks and I haven't really noticed a difference. It seems that the breakouts moved from my jawline to my cheeks and they seem to be redder and more obvious. I don't want to say this product doesn't work, but it hasn't worked for ME. I haven't used it long, but I don't know that I want to risk being able to return it. It's very time consuming and pretty expensive considering it hasn't shown me much of a difference from Clean 'N Clear...lol! Good Luck!!!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Love this; goes on clear, no more white streaks or gross white flakes. Seemed to work as well at the Neutrogena stuff, and cleared up several chronic spots in about a day and a half.
Cons:
It will leave your skin a little dry if you don't use moisturizer, but so will all the other BP products.
I really like this. If you want to use a BP product, this is probably the best stuff around.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Try taking a handful of pantothenic acid every day before you do anything else. A researcher discovered that megadoses of this B vitamin can cure acne. It's cheap and readily available without prescription. You have little to lose but your acne.
Pros:
This is the most gentle on my skin of any BP treatment I've used, yet it has eliminated all but the worst (hormonally-driven, I think) pimples. Head and shoulders above any BP product I've tried, and I've tried so many!
