Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
Burned my skin and now they won't refund my money. Fortunately, Amex did but now they are still trying to collect from me for a shipment I didn't authorize. I hope they go out of business sooon or maybe someone will put them out of business with a law suit.
Don't Order!!!

Pros:
I haven't found one pro on this product
Cons:
Everything.
From the minute after using this product my skin was dry,red an irritated. And after about a months use my skin had tiny little red bumps all over it and i still have acne. Not to mention my face is 10 times more oily. This product is way to harsh on your skin.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
None
Cons:
They trick you with there price of $19.99 for the shippment. Then they get you with the next shippment that they send right away and bill you in three installments of $29.99. that a total of $110.00 plus shipping cost. The product is too strong and will dry your face out and peel.
It's a scam!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Got rid of some pimples.
Refreshing.
Nice feel.
Cons:
Not in stores.
This product worked pretty well for me. You should follow the directions very carefully or it might cause you a pimple or to or at least it did for me. This product didn't cost me anything cause I got mine at swagbucks. So if you don't want to order this just can just buy it off from swagbucks but it could take a while for you to earn the points to get it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
none really
Cons:
expensive, didn't work any better than clearasil, dried out my skin and made it feel tight
waste of money! i wish networks would stop airing these campaigns because they don't work! these celebrities maybe have 2-3 blackheads on their faces, not whiteheads or cystic acne. don't fool yourself.. save that money and go see a dermatologist. you'll thank yourself later!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
-Cost effective (16 oz.)
-Affordable
-Dries clear
-Effective BP treatment with desirable results
-No unpleasant fragrance
-Nice texture to put on skin
-No residue
Cons:
-Expensive to ship overseas
-Only available from Acne.org
-Caused me some initial dryness, redness, flaking and purging
-Takes some time to dry once applied
-Results took me a while (3 months)
-Per longs red marks after acne heals
This product is a great BP to use with The Regimen. It is probably the most cost effective as it comes in such a large tub and lasts for a long time before having to buy again. I experienced dry, red skin for a week after starting to use this product, and after that I had some purging for about 3 weeks. After this I started to see some great results and I am happy to say I'm now clear aside from a few red marks which are fading. I use this before moisturising and after cleansing (The Regimen) in the morning and before bed. Compared with most store-bought BP products the cons of this in no way put me off the product. I love it.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
- Nice consistency
- No extreme over drying
- Works well
- Works fast
Cons:
- Can be a bit drying to some people
This product works. Before I started using it, I was concerned about BP's over-drying effects, considering I don't have oily skin. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I began using it. It slightly dries me out, but the moisturizer definitely takes care of it. Before this product, I was suffering from painful acne on my chin, forehead and cheeks. I've only been using this BP for a few weeks, and my acne has already decreased about 40%, and has started to lighten red marks from old acne. It has definitely positively impacted my confidence. I look forward to continuing the regimen, and getting 100% clear for the first time in 4 years.

The charge your credit card even you cancel the subscription and you have to pay for shipping if you want to return the product
The customer service is the worst, Also do not give them credit cards. They will start charging your credit card without authorization. They will send the packages and then you have to pay for the shipping to return the package. I post to stop the subscription after see that this bunch of cute but expensive bottles did not work. The did put a "stop for six months" after that they charged me and shipped a bunch of bottles to me. I called again, and I made sure to say cancel my subscription. Today it is five months after that, and they did it again. The shipping back cost me about 25 dollars. I replaced my credit card to make sure they do not charge me again. In the end, the product did not work as advertised
Pros:
NONE
