it appears to work for the first month... but after that it stops improving your skin. i found skinID by neutrogena VERY VERY effective and fast and affordable. check it out before you buy proactiv.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
it definitely makes your skin softer, cleanses, relieves blemishes, ect.
Cons:
it gets your skin addicted, so if you miss one day of washing your face with this product, you may break out. also be careful if you have very sensitive skin, because it may have the opposite affect rather than to clear up your acne.
i've been using this product for a little under a month now, since about thanksgiving. this is by far the best acne treatment i have ever used. it works differently on different skin. for my mother and my sister, it caused them to break out worse; so they stopped using it. but they have VERY sensitive skin. within my whole time using this product, the only time my skin became worse was when i missed using it for a day or so; when washing my faces with other products. but that's one problem thats very likely to happen with other products as well. i would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is looking to clear up all or most of their acne. because it has worked beyond well for me. after only one day of using it i noticed results, and i absolutely love this product. not only is the price a reasonable price, because you do get a lot for the money, but the product is by far amazing. i give it 5 stars without a doubt. thankss guthyy renkerrrrrr

Product used: Benzac AC (Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Gel)
Pros:
- Reduces whiteheads and blackheads within 4 days for me!
- Easy to use.
- Gives me a fresh and clean feeling after using it.
Cons:
- Maybe drying up my face could be a con although my skin isn't used to the products and my dermatoligist said the dryness could fade away within a couple a weeks when my skin is used to the benzoyl peroxide.
Very good product , I higly recommend it.
But still you'll have to do your homework and do some searching to look if Benzac would be the right product for you.
My skin is dry at this very moment but I believe it will fade when time passes.
I do moisturize afterwards but I doesn't seem to moisturize enough.
I will see if the dryness disappears else I'll have to go search a better moisturizer.
BUT THE LITTLE DRYNESS IS SO WORTH MY CLEAR SKIN.
