Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Cons:
Left my face dry at first
So I've been breaking out for like the past three months. It's been frustrating because before that I had perfect skin. It's devastating to look at pictures of before these breakouts. My skin just looked horrible. I was desperate and wanted to try this because I had used the foam stuff before and it worked pretty well. I have only been using this for a week today and already I have less acne. It isn't completely gone, but I wasn't expecting an overnight miracle (even though I wish it was). My skin is beginning to heal. So I'm sure if I give it more time it'll clear up my skin nicely :)

doesn't work and they kept billing me AFTER I canceled my membership. They also shipped and billed for extras such as eye cream that I did NOT order

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
*Makes your skin look very healthy (especially when I wake up in the morning, my skin looks nice)
*Cleanser is really good at removing dead skin cells
*The lotion lasts a long time & makes my skin glow
Cons:
*Takes an extra 5 minutes in the morning
*Makes my skin more oily
*You need to use a facial cleanser/make-up removing towelettes before starting this system (if you don't, you will see that every
time you wipe w/ the toner, more make-up will keep coming off)
*The toner gets low really fast
*If you skip a day or 2...you're gonna break out (maybe very badly!)
PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE! I cannot urge you enough to just STICK WITH IT. Give it a whole year, and if you don't see any results...find a different regimen that works with you. I have stopped and started this 3 step system honestly, like 5 times. You need to use this system every single day, twice a day, for a year straight. The only reason I gave this 3 out of 5 is because it takes too much patience for me, and skipping days made my skin break out SO easily.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
-dries face (great if you have super oily skin like mine)
-shrinks pores
-gets rid of blackheads
-cleared face
-restored skin color
Cons:
-super drying at first to where you are flakey
-may make your face red at first too
this treatment is amazing.
I have tried sooooo many things and keep getting dissappointed. Topical: Differin, Ziana, Tazorac, Benzaclin, Aczone, Avar Oral: Trimethoprim, Doryx, Minocycline I was on Differin and a sodium sulfate gel with Solodyn and all it did after 3+ months was make my face super oily, have humongous pores with blackheads, huge cysts in my cheeks and jawline. I saw the BP treatment and thought what the heck I have nothing left to lose. My face dried overnight and after a week the large zits in my cheeks and jawline stopped coming and had almost completely vanished, my pores shrunk at least 5 times smaller than they were before and all the blackheads I had were completely gone. At first I had really dry dry skin to where it was super flakey but I would take dry skin over zitty, oily, huged pored face anyday. The moisturizer and AHA fixed that really well. I have never seen something work so fast and so productively in all the years that I have had acne:) amazinggggggggggggggggggg. seriously.

Has been discontinued, but there is good news...

May 17, 2010
Pros:
Clear face of redness... leaves face feeling smooth... prevents new acne from developing/forming... cleared about 65% of my acne within the first week of using.
Cons:
Slight burn when sweating from playing basketball.
GREAT product. I have tried all possible products and nothing seemed to work. I would wake up every morning with more acne/pimples and it was super frustrating. Being 24 and in corporate America, it was a stress on my work life. This system works amazing and I will continue to use it.
