Product used: Benzac AC (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Gel)
Pros:
It works heaps good.. it almost cleared my skin and I have only been using it for two weeks...
Cons:
Makes your skin go red in the first week but if you put alot of moisturizer it should go away quickly... try not to use it to much though
I love it and im so happy i bought it

Product used: Benzac AC (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Gel)
Pros:
effective
dries up pimples fast
Cons:
it leaves my skin dry because i used it in the morning and before gong to sleep
my face becomes darker,maybe beacuse i don't use sunblock
i was suffering from acne 4yrs. ago and i saw this product in one of the magazines here in our country.i took the risk and find out myself if benzoyl peroxide works for me.after few days of using, my acne dries up.it was fast so i used it everyday though i experienced micro peeling and my face seems to be dark.i still continue using it because i didn't experienced break-out anymore. i'm afraid if i stopped using this product,my acne will appear again
August 23, 2009
Pros:
I have been using the reparining lotion and the results are OK. No major breakouts for the past two weeks-a big improvement from a new blemish everyday.
Cons:
It did take a while to start working (almost two months) and I have to be consistent. My skin is very flaky and sensitive now.
With the advice from this site, my skin has been better. Another BP product might have the same result.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Quick working, doesn't dry out skin, leaves skin smooth, gets rid of acne. Does everything it promises.
Cons:
Thinking hard to find any..I guess- don't get the soap in your mouth or up your noise at all, really stings :(
Best acne product ever. I have tried clearasil 10% benzol peroxide, the walmart equate benzol peroxide - since I will still getting 'some' acne I moved to 'Clear Pores'. That worked okay but I was still getting even more acne, so I moved to 'Exposed Skincare'. The exposed skincare I got less acne but it was 60$ per shipment. With this when I used it, it worked immediately. I still got a bit of acne for the first week, but WAY less than when I was using any of those other products. I've been using for 2 weeks now and I'm acne free, now just have to wait for a few of my acne scares to go away. What you will get with this is 2 things:
1) Bar of soap - it's part of the treatment, not just regular soap.
2) Acne Scrub stuff I ran out of the bar of soap after 2 weeks, I bought 5 more because they're so awesome :P
-- This has been way better than I expected. I thought this product looked kinda lame because it wasn't by a huge company and looked like it was made ou

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Toner feels good and helps skin tone for a couple minutes but doesnt help acne. Just as many breakouts, if not more. And I've been using it religiously.
Cons:
Didn't help acne at all, might even have made it worse. Lotion leaves skin looking shiny.
It's a waste of money if you have severe acne like me. No other problem has worked, even prescription medicines.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
This product WORKS!
IT WORKS, IT WORKS, IT WORKS!
Cons:
I have extremely sensitive skin, so I experienced dryness, itching, and peeling for the first 2-3 weeks. (It'll pay off)
I'm not easy to convince, and I've tried ALMOST EVERYTHING on the market, even Murad and Proactiv. They didn't work. TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, FOLLOW DAN'S REGIMEN, STEP-BY-STEP. (Pay attention to Dan's regimen tutorials) I MEAN IT, STEP-BY-STEP!!! BE CONSISTENT!!! Before you know it, you'll begin to see the results FAST, and have CLEARER to TOTALLY CLEAR SKIN!!! Just give it a try, that's all you can do. Then truthfully follow the step-by-step regimen.

Product used: Benzac AC (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Gel)
Pros:
Extremely effective when used according to Dan's regime. My skin is completely clear after only two weeks use for the first time ever. Gel based.
Cons:
Normal side effects associated with BP. Peeling and itching. Only seems to come in a small tube.
I'm pretty sure it works comparably with any other 2.5% gel based BP product. Probably better to purchase a bulk product, like Dan's, rather than fork out for a more expensive product like this one. It does work though.
July 15, 2009
Pros:
It seems to clear alot of my acne but it does take time. For it to work you have to use it religiously.
Cons:
Skin tends to dry out pretty quickly. Sometimes makes area around eyes sensitive and tingle. Leaves white residue on your face so always follow with a moisturizer or use before bed. Does not clear acne scars either.
Its a pretty good product for the price, just make sure you start to gradually use the product. Moisturizer is the key and I'd try one like Vaseline hand lotion because it rids skins of scars and keeps skin hydrated.
Pros:
I have only used zapzyt for 2 days but I can tell that the pimples are shrinking! It is a low cost and doesnt take a big amount to cover the problem areas. Makeup goes under nicely. If it doesnt work they let u return it!!
