Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
Doesn't work great for blackheads. Can be expensive and smells sometimes. Can be time consuming, especially if you wash your face twice a day. they can send it to you too often if you sign up for regular shipping.
Tell the company to send the product only once every 24 weeks. Remember that ANY new skin regiment takes at least 3 weeks before you see the results. Skin has a delayed reaction. (What you see today is from your actions three weeks ago.)Make time for you skin and drink plenty of water.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Smooth skin
Cons:
Dries skin out to the point where it feels like it's on fire.
I didn't fee it was worth it to buy it. I've been using it for about five weeks and my skin is breaking out. I can't use it more than once a day because my skin feels like it's on fire. It becomes so itchy, it physically pains me to use it more than once a day. I'm pretty much at my wits end, I feel like nothing I try works. Everyone said Proactive was supposed to be amazing, but it's really not.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
good price (college student)
doesn't smell bad.
Cons:
none.
a little drying, but that's what BP is suppose to do!
i have mixed-dry-oily mild acne. This BP works better than the proactive repairing lotion (which i used for 6 years!). i decided to switch to this product because i felt that i deserved more consistent results than what proactiv was giving me. I recommend this to anyone who was once religous with proactiv, but is ready for a change. It's worth a shot, it seems to be working for me!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
No fragrance. Does not irratate my skin. Drys quick. Does not feel like I have anything on my face once it drys.
Cons:
Non
I tried MANY of the over the counter acne products with ZERO success UNTIL I found Dan's 2.5% BP. The stuff cleared my adult acne almost immediately after using it only a month.
The 2.5% formula is mild enough to not irriate (my) skin while still delivering enough BP to take care of my acne.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Keeps big break-outs at bay.
The pimples I do get are way smaller than before and go away much faster.
Absorbs into my skin great.
Cons:
I can't think of anything substantial.
This stuff works better on my skin than any other involved regimen or natural remedy I've tried. My personal regimen involves using Dan's gel once a day after using an exfoliating cleanser and following up with a salicylic acid based toner or astringent. I know that would be too harsh for some but my skin is not sensitive. I've learned that exfoliating and toning is key for me to refresh my skin cells and avoid clogged pores. The acne gel dries up excess oil and kills the bacteria nicely to top it off. I'm also thrilled that the gel absorbs so well. I'm a darkskinned black girl and traditional products like Neutrogena OTS left an ashy film on my skin. My skin looks and feels smooth and has a glow nowadays. My self-esteem has been boosted 100%. Thanks Dan!

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
Dries up and treats pimples fast and works great after a week.
Cons:
Can be dry your skin a lot.
You should try it! At first I was a little hesitant to try Oxy because it seemed like everything else out there. However, applying it three times a day gave me great results. I had lots of acne on my forehead and now its almost all gone!

Pros:
The product does work for me but it will not be a miracle. Your acne did not form overnight and its not going to go away overnight either. It took me about a month and a half for all of my acne to go away.
Cons:
It is a little bit pricey.
It will take TIME for this product, or any product to work. You must be patient and use it for at least a month or two.

Been using it for about 10 years....Thought I would share some tips I've learned: 1. Do NOT keep or use the cleanser in the shower. It dilutes it and becomes less effective
2. When you wash your face, scrub for at least a minute. I started doing this and noticed immediate results.
3. Try the advanced bleminsh stuff...it is my miracle cream
4. Use twice a day EVERY DAY or it will not work
5. Take of makeup before washing your face. I like the neutrogena make up remover cloths. this is HUGE Hope that helps
Pros:
Makes you feel as if you are taking action to prevent acne. Clears up skin problems and allows you to have a regiment that's easier to follow than some remedies that involve mixing and sleeping with oil/juice on your face.
