Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
Product did not work and the company would not accept the product back. This was after they charged me $100.00. Must be nice to sell something and not stand behind it.
Do not waste your time working with Proactive. If you want to trial the product find a different route then the on-line application. For example go to the mall and purchase through the dispensing machine. At the very end my skin is more irritated and my bank account is $100 lighter.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
-Reduces redness/size of pimples
-Affordable & accessible
Cons:
-Can be drying
This should only be used for spot treating. It is too heavy duty for everyday acne prevention but it works amazingly to get rid of pesky spots. Be sure to use a moisturizer if using this product.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
Took away bumps on cheeks and forehead.
started working almost instantly!
skin feels smooth.
Cheap
Cons:
skin dried up a little bit
This stuff has probably worked better than anything else I have ever used. Proactiv did not work very well for me and as soon as I started using the whole Ultra Clearasil set (especially the cream) I have felt better and all of the little tiny bumps on my forehead have cleared up completely. My skin looks super smooth and healthy now. I love this product. My skin has a perfect dewy look to it now. Make sure you get a nice lotion to use after the cream otherwise your skin can get a little dry.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Smells good
Clears acne fast
Tingly feeling
Leaves skin feeling fresh
Cons:
Kinda stings eyes
I'm 15 and have been using this product for around a week and am in love with it. For the last year I have been using oxy which also contains 10% benzoyl peroxide and it would always leave my skin dry and irritated, with clean and clear my skin feels clean and fresh.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Works quickly and consistently
Cons:
Dries skin out
The toner smells a little like vinegar
I've tried almost every product out there (even Zeno) and this is the only thing that really works. If I get a zit, it's gone in a couple of days. I started using this about a week after I started the acne.org regimen and they work well together (I know the regimen says nothing about toners but I just apply it gently every night with a cotton pad). This WILL dry out your skin (especially step 3), so buy a moisturizer. I recommend Clinique's Dramatically Different moisturizer (the yellow bottle). And don't apply step 3 to your whole face, just the areas that need benzoyl. All in all? Price is no object. This is quality.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
It works!
Cons:
Bleaches clothing
Takes a while for your skin to adjust.
As a 30 year-old that has suffered with acne for 18 years, this is the best stuff out there. At first, my skin did not respond well but within a month or two, things turned around (well worth the wait!)

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
nothing for sensitive skin
Cons:
my face was destroyed
not for sensitive skin
extreme redness
dryness
at first my face started to clear up and it turned extremly red. as the week progressed, the redness became more severe and it look like i had been burnt in the sun for days. the acne was dissappearing but this couldnt have been good on my face. i mean it makes your face red and dry. i went the natural way of eating fruits and detoxing and now my face is alot better and clearing up better than ever

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
clear skin
works on all types of acne
easy on the skin
cost
Cons:
stupid three steps are annoying
Ok a lot of people in here say that this doesn't work or didnt work well. What i can say is due to stress i had a breakout when i was 20 that was worse than any breakout i had in my life. i couldnt open my mouth enough to eat without my eyes watering up from the pain. i have what is called cystic acne and i have all the scars from that breakout to show for it. i was on perscription meds for a few months but it didnt do S**T! (differin(cost a s**t ton of money without insurance) and minocyclin(this stuff did work decent)) i started to use acne free severe i used this about 4 months then switched to this ever since. a month through the severe treatment the cysts went down 3 months my skin tone was evening out and scars were looking lighter after the fourth month i tapered down to the regular stuff and it was easier on the skin but still worked like a charm! the scars are still there over a year after the breakout i had but they are faded and i only get a pimple here or there. find a routine with this stuff and it will work!
Pros:
None
