Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
dried out my skin, made me break out horribly even after using it for a month. smell!! yuckkkk
the first few days i was using this product it worked okay..but i was drying my skin out. then after a week of use i started breaking out like crazy, i thought that it was the "getting worse before it gets better" phase, but nope...i kept using it for a month and every single day i would wake up with a new pimple on my face. The pimpled were cystic and painful, and the left horrible scars. Then finally i stopped using it and started using clinique acne soultions and now my skin finally looks decent!
my doctor was even like ohhh you shouldnt have used proactiv its not good.
yah i didnt work for me... :(

Product used: Quinoderm ((5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream)
Pros:
Is the only product that has worked for me - ever.
Is very affordable
IT WORKS!!
Cons:
Dries up your skin
You feel a burning sensation when first using this product - although this does go away after the first few weeks
I have tried pretty much every spot treatment out there and Quinoderme is the only one, i repeat, the ONLY ONE that has worked for me! Yes, it did make my skin exceedingly dry and flaky for the first few weeks, but you can use this treatment and moisturise which i find balances out my skin to a perfect level!
I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone that suffers from acne, it is a life saver!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
My skin felt smooth in most areas
Cons:
It did get rid of my acne.
I waited a long time to get enough money to buy proactive and I was disappointed because it didn't help and after the 30 day trial they end up sending me a 60 day. I didn't even know that I was going to get another one. My skin didn't get cleared up. It made my skin really dry.

Pros:
starts clearing up skin as quickly as in the first day.
Cons:
You have to use less cleanser in order for it to last. If you have really sensitive skin it will irritate it.
It clears up acne really quickly but the cleanser runs out before the entire package is finished and
and you have to buy the entire package over just for the cleanser. Pointless. It works fast but Neutrogena should sell the product seperately.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Mild reduction in acne
Cons:
It takes too long. It does not dry out skin. It does not work!
I have oily skin and mild to moderate acne. Recently, I was getting frustrated so I bit the bullet and ordered proactiv. After first using it, I didn't have results. I called them and they sent me the extra strength formula. To my dismay this didn't work either. Still got the occassional whiteheads. So I was angry. I immediately canceled. Now I use a Clean and Clear face soap twice a day that is 10% benzoyl peroxide and it works great so far. I am sure proactiv works for some, but there commercials make it seem like it is for all and it clearly is not. The products use the same ingredients that you can get over the counter.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Can wear under makeup, clears skin fast, no strong scent,best price I've found for such quality, and super fast shipment.
Cons:
Not available in stores.
I absolutely love this! It keeps me clear (along with bha and jojoba oil), doesn't dry me out too much, can be worn under makeup, and arrives the day after it's sent (I'm in CA). I like that it's 2.5% to avoid excess dryness/flaking. The price is super affordable, considering the amount you get. Love!!
Pros:
ummm...the toner was okay
