Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Non scented
Doesn't require shipping
Very gentle
Not so much benzoyl peroxide
Works
Cons:
Pricey
Takes a few minutes to apply.
My sister recommended this to me, and I wish I took her advice sooner. After using it for a few days, people were already saying my skin looked better. I used proactiv, and while I saw results, the second I missed one day by accident my skin got these little red bumps everywhere. However I accidently missed a day with clinique and I still didn't break out. Clinique does one thing even better then proactiv. All the products in the kit are non-scented. The biggest downside would have to be the price. It costs about as much as proactiv, so if you're on a budget this isn't for you. Also, it does take about five minutes to apply everything which can be annoying if you're in a hurry to get somewhere. My final complaint would be the consistency of the clearing moisturizer. I was expecting it to be a gel like the one in proactiv but it's much more runny and sometimes dripped off my finger. Overall, the results are in the eye of the beholder, and my acne has improved. If you've never used benzoyl peroxide products before, then clinique might be a good place to start since it only has one gentle product with BP. If it doesn't work for you then try proactiv.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
Works pretty well, cleared up most of acne in 3 days.
Cons:
Burns a little.
Good overall, apart from the burning (it was not that bad, though). Good for clearing up acne! Buy at a discount store, as can be expensive!

Pros:
None

not trustworthy
I received a flyer in the mail for a $19.95 package with two free gifts. I have yet to receive what was promised. It was a bate and switch case where they sent me a package for $45.00.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Keeps skin clear, Prevents future breakouts, Leaves skin feeling smooth
Cons:
Have to keep using it or it stops working
This was a great product and cleared my skin up after about two days. After using it for 3 months, I had very smooth, acne free skin. Since we had to move, I stopped using it for a little while due to the fact that it was too large of a bottle to bring with us. My acne instantly came back and was worse. If you are using this product you have to keep using it or it doesn't work.

Product used: Rodan + Fields (Unblemish)
Pros:
Complete acne regimen, includes product to fade post acne marks, 2 month supply, effective combination, & a 60 day money back guarantee!
Cons:
Cream wash has the sulfur smell that isn't so great. It's only sold through Independent Consultants!
This is a great acne regimen to try that works! It's 4 products that lasts 2 months that includes a cream wash, a spot fading toner, intensive acne treatment, and an oil control lotion that also has SPF. I happen to be a Consultant and strongly believe in the effectiveness of all the products. All products have a 2 month guarantee so there really is nothing to lose!

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Cleared up my skin right away! I don't usually have acne problems, but with all the traveling I'd been doing I was having a major break out. Worked in only a few days.
Cons:
Skin was a bit dry, but it wasn't very bad at all. You have to use more of the first step than they recommend for it to work.
I used the three step system in conjunction with their oil control cleansing mask. Fantastic results! Great for people with moderate acne.

Pros:
It worked great and noticed a huge impovement within a week
Cons:
can dry out skin a little. I use Olay mositurizer and it works wonderfully
I would definitedly recommend this product. I suffered with adult acne for a year. Never had it before so I was desperate for a solution. Thanks to Neutrogena acne is now gone!!
Pros:
I've been using the product for almost a month and I'm very pleased with the results. I'm an African American woman and although the results weren't immediate, I know that patience is the key. For the past week, I have had a clear face and no pimples! I was used to seeing pimples appear everyday. The cystic acne that I used to have on my chin is non existent. I never thought I would be able to use a product with BP since I'm allergic. I was a skeptic but now a believer.
