Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Cons:
No it dosen't dry up your skin, not mine atleast.
A must have product, no doubt about it. If you want to clear your skin a much cheaper way instead of expensive Neutrogena and Proactive kits, GET OXY!!!!!!!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
i started to see results immediatley and it kept my face not COMPLETELY clear, but clear fo the most part.
Cons:
you start to break out if you go a day without using it, and to see results, you have to use the products together
I really like proactive. I've been using it for about 4 years and i use it twice a day. I have really oily skin, so i've recently started using the daily oil control and i can really tell a difference. My face still has a little oil but not near as much.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
The best BP I've tried. Gentle and light texture. Goes on clear and less drying than other brands of BP.
Cons:
Very expensive shipping. Not available in stores.
This is highly recommended. I won't go back to other brands of BP as long as Dan's BP is available.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
It works. Period.
Cons:
Dries your skin.
I can't believe I spent years buying ProActive...this is a fraction of the cost and it works so much better.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Works extremely well on most types of acne.
Cons:
Gotta keep using it to stay acne free, but it's no big deal to me.
I went to a dermatologist, and he had me get Differin. I didn't have enough patience for it to start working. My girlfriend was suing this stuff for a couple weeks and she said it worked for her. I didn't believe her until I finally tried it out for myself. Immediate results. I have some type of skin condition called Kerutosis Polaris (no clue how to spell it), and it was the only thing I have ever used in my life that cleared it up off my face. Acne too. This is an amazing product. Don't buy ProActive.
August 4, 2008
Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Doesn't leave a layer of white when it dries, heals acne without excessive dryness
Cons:
Makeup doesn't go over it too smoothly, esp. when there's a thick layer; bleaches stuff, of course. Use white pillowcases!
This is, by far, the BEST BP cream you can buy. I used to buy the store brand 5% or 10% BP, but it always scorched my skin, leaving me with not only acne, but a red lobster face and neck as well. This cream is gentle and dries clear. If you want to wear it under makeup, just make sure not to use as much BP as you would after your nighttime cleansing.
August 4, 2008
Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
Gets rid of pimples fast, and efectivley. Makes skin appear smoother.
Cons:
It burns JUST A LITTLE
Use it with a moisturizer after, and wash with Clearasil acne scrub. Makes your face look really really nice, gets rid of almost all pimples.
August 3, 2008
Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
it really started to clear my acne in just three days.
Cons:
It really dried up my skin so be ready to buy some powerful moisturizer. It might also burn a little or sting your eye.
It works but dries up your skin.
Pros:
It started clearing up my skin after the first day.
