Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
The biggest Con for me was that their "30 day Trail Size Supply", keyword being "supply", did not last 30 days. I used it as directed and it only lasted me about a week, and I don't have absolutely terrible acne either.
I wouldn't bother with the Proactive treatment again, there are more effective and better value products out there, like the Regimen. One more thing that should be pointed out is that they will automatically send you a 60 day supply whether or not you ask for it. I found out much to my surprise that my Visa had been charged without being informed prior. I was not pleased to say the least. After speaking with customer service and reviewing the order form on their website, the small print does state that they will ship and charge a 60 day supply after my 30 day "supply" should have run out.
Some may say convenient. I would say unnecessary and bothersome. In summary, spend your hard earned money elsewhere. The products with the flashiest infomercials aren't always the best.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
no more cystic acne! smells fine, easy to use.
Cons:
BLEACHING. this is not a reason not to buy it, but w/o knowing it i ruined a lot of colored towels.
its a little rough to start out with, might burn and dry out skin, but after sticking to it my skin adjusted fine.
Its the only thing that works. Even though i still get minor breakouts, my skin is just so much healthier overall. I don't get huge embarressing pimples or cystic acne anymore, which is a HUGE confidence booster :DDD My school photos don't need to be retouched, my makeup doesn't get all flaky looking, and my skin feels so smooth. I feel like a normal teenager, its the best(:

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
none
Cons:
I have been using this product for the past few months. It began to work at first but lately I have been getting really painful breakouts in spots I never have gotten them before. My acne has also worsened. It also make my skin look whiter after use.
Its horrible and definately not worth the money DONT USE IT!

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Bar)
Pros:
I really like the product. I have had only one pimple since I started using this product. I am really oily and have not experienced the drying that I have read in the other reviews.
Cons:
None
I have been using this product for two weeks. My doctor said to make sure to wear a sunscreen while using the product. FYI I am an African American female.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Great product. When I moved from the UK to Canada 5 years ago my skin changed dramatically. I got acne for the first time in my life, and I was miserable. Carleys clears it up! Their moisturisers and soap are great too!
Cons:
No cons that I can think of other than having to wait for it to arrive, but considering it comes all the way from Florida it's always very timely.
My face is clear. People always tell me I have great skin. This stuff works.

Product used: Quinoderm ((5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream)
Pros:
Very affordable
Cons:
Did not agree with my skin - it turned incredibly dry and scaly - redder than ever. Bleached my bedsheets/pillowcases (although it does warn on the packaging)
After reading all of the reviews on this site, I was feeling very optimistic at trying out this product but after several months use (5%), I've decided to stop using it as I have noticed no improvement. If anything, my skin is in a worse state than ever.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
I have been buying the Kick *ss for my daughter who is 17 for the past three years,and it has been Great.
Cons:
She has had NO large break outs since she has been on this and it continues to work for her Great.
It has worked for my teenage daughter for three years now and she is a softball player and in the dirt and alot of sweat all the time. We had tryed other types of treaments that cost a lot more and this does the job just as well if not better. THANK YOU CARLEY

Product used: Benzac AC (Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Gel)
Pros:
I use this product 5 days now. Almost 80% is gone. The big ones look awful first days but then you skin gets how you want it
Cons:
Dries out the skin a bit
Buy this! for this price you won't find anything bether.
Pros:
Since the Proactive System is primarily based on doses of low percentage BP, it essentially works the same way as The Regimen. Because of this, it is fairly effective at ridding the skin of acne.
