September 25, 2009
Pros:
kept new acne from popping up
Cons:
The acne that i already had that nothing has even touched in helping it go away not the deratoligist not any RX meds not anything all the acne stayed it just I just didnt get more. I cant treat my skin to hars casue it peels off if I do
Didnt work that well I wish it did I have about given up on everything. Because NOTHING works even the doctors couldnt get it to go away. because when they would get my creams to put on my face it would clear it up but give me chemical burns and it would hurt so much i could not stand the pains o i had to stop using everything and by the time my skin grew back acne was back.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It worked in the beginning
Cons:
cost is high
It worked while I was using it. After I stopped my acne was worse than it ever had been. I have acne so bad with out breaks that I never had before. Proactive clearly made my skin worse. It seems to have altered my bodies hormonal balance.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
none
Cons:
it dries out skin severely on the first use. causes a lot of peeling. does not work at all even though it claims to in the first four hours. i used it for 8 months and saw no results!
it is pretty useless. do not waste your money on this product!

Product used: Benzac AC (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Gel)
Pros:
Works really well with a Clindets pad, but my acne came back worst than never after 8 months :( Maybe 10% is too much for me...
Cons:
Sooo redness for the first 2 months.
Try it for sure, but take the % of Benzoyl Peroxyde that fits with you, so start with a 2,5% and go highter after.

Pros:
works fast, easy to use and dries out my oily skin
Cons:
a little too dry if you don't have oily skin like me? but i don"t mind.
I'm fifteen with mild acne and after the first day, I even felt the difference. I had been using the clean and clear acne system that worked, but stopped after a couple of months. I had to purchase concealer about every two weeks just to cover up the blemishes. Along with the neutrogena system, I purchased the rapid clear acne spot remover. I apply it at night and it works wonders. However, the cleanser is hard to apply for me. Its a little gooey and I almost always drop some on my counter, ha. It is now my second day, and I cant wait to get up in the morning and see the difference from today.

Product used: Quinoderm ((5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream)
Pros:
Clears Acne in 3-5 Days
Keeps clear when using daily
Really Works
Cons:
Can sting
Can dry skin
Can mess dyed fabrics
Starts to work on first app, may cause skin to burn or sting and turn red. Once a few days past it will not hurt anymore, you may need to moisturize but be thankful you will have smooth spot free skin within a week.
I have used this for just under 6months, my confidence is through the roof now without spots. I would advise sensitive skin to use the "5" then move to 10 after a few weeks, however many can use 10 with a decent moisturizer.
September 9, 2009
Pros:
Easy to use and remember, by far the quickest to apply. Works great, not a silver bullet but definently does a good job.
Cons:
None really
I would recomend this to anyone

Product used: Quinoderm ((5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream)
Pros:
Commpletely clears skin !
Cons:
Dries skin& causes red marks & flakynessBUT >
BBUUUYY iTTTTT
had really really ad spots for years & it was putting my confidence down alot, so i tryed quinoderm, at first it really stings but i carryed on. For the first week& a half the was red marks around the places wer had no spot, ut no my skin is used to it theyve gone. My skin got really flaky as well, but heres the trick to get it to go away, for the 1st week or so DONT use moisturiser, let your skin produce it itself. My skins completely adapted now, so ihave a spot clear non flaky or red face:)

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It makes my skin clear it vanishes blemishes and it makes my skin all one colour. It also makes it super smooth.
Cons:
Its expensive.
Im 16 and I dont have overly bad acne or acne at that, but I love Proactive. It really does the job, I dont have to worry about waking up with a wopping huge pimple on my face. I barley wear make up when im using proactive because it makes my skin look great!
Its expensive but so worth it.
Ive heard that it doesnt work on some people and they say its sh*t, get over it seriously. If it doesnt work for you then it doesnt work, skin vary's.
Pros:
clear skin
