Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
They take the money directly out of your bank account. I don't like for someone else to have the authority to withdral my money, but me.
It works. I have tried over the counter treatment, home remedies, even prescibed medicine and nothing worked. Finally, when I was just fed up with my face, I decided to give proactive a try, (hell, I tried everything else, why not). Too my surprise it worked immediately. It has not totally revived my face, but it has worked considerably enough for me to have the confidence to show my face in public again.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
This gel form of benzoyl peroxide really works better than all others. In 2 weeks following the regimen, my face has cleared up.If I do get a zit, it does not turn big and only lasts for 1 or 2 days. This is a must try. remember to stick with it!
Cons:
Did initially dry my skin and cause flaking, which BP doesnt. I use lac-hydryn five lotion with a few drops of jojoba oil and it took care of the dryness and flaking. It even helped improve my skin tone which is great.
You must try this BP gel with the regimen. It absorbs well when you gently massage it into your skin. You need to stick to the regimen even if you suffer break outs.I have moderate acne and it has cleared me up very well. I dont know how well it would work for those who have severe acne. Stick to the regimen!

Product used: Stridex (Power Pads)
Pros:
Works fast and works great! Made my skin clear in just 2 days.
Cons:
NONE!
This product cleared up all my acne; old and new. I'm completely amazed that my skin was clearer than ever in just the first 2 days of use. Trust me, I've tried EVERYTHING... nothing would clear my acne. But now with the power pads, all my acne scars are gone too. I've tried tons of products with benzoyl peroxide but nothing was as successful as this product. I would recommend this product to EVERYONE!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Feels great - smooth, goes on easily, isn't too thick or thin.
I've really seen a difference in my skin - I have mildish acne but it gets worse around my period. However this hasn't happened since I've been using it.
Cons:
My skin is a little bit dry, but not as bad as it has been in the past and I haven't even tried using a moisturizer yet, so I'm not worried. It doesn't smell great, but it's not terrible.
I've had acne for probably four or five years, and it's been a constant source of embarrassment/irritation to me. My doctor had been saying that BP was the only thing that works, but I hadn't been able to find anything less than 10%, which was way too harsh for my skin. I'm going to be using this product indefinitely.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
none
Cons:
Worked great the first few times but then it just made it get worse and worse and it keeps breaking out in the same areas over and over.
SUCKS, to expensive, not effective. The best things I have used to date is: 1) Limit fast food, soda, fried food, etc 2) use what you find at CVS, Genovese, etc. I find that this "Clean & Clear" 10% Benozel peroxide works great except its very conspicious because dosent rub into the skin very well.

Pros:
Great stuff! This product saved my face and confidence. Perfect size and potency- I'll use it for the rest of my life.
Cons:
None
I've used this for the past year and a half. When I started, my acne was moderate-on a good day. I noticed results within weeks, and now my face is completely clear with the exception of the occasional breakout which happens every few months. I owe Dan so much - Thank You for providing this product and regimen to all of us.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Had very stubborn bumps on forehead that i could not get to go away with any other product. proactiv cleared it up in less than a week..Get very few pimples now and if i do proactiv clears them up quickly
Cons:
Facial redness for the first hour or so following application, but no irritation. Redness clears up quickly.
Im glad i took the chance on this product. i dont think its for people with any type of sensative skin. I have very hardy italian skin that wont even burn in the sun, but it does get a little red with proactiv use.

By far best treatment i had
I tried many otc products and visited a couple of derma already. This is by far the most effective and consistent treatment i had. I have been using this since 2014 together with the Regimen facial wash, moisturizer and AHA. My acne has been controlled since then. Unlike proactiv which was only effective for the first 2yrs. So happy to came across this website and community. I even recommended this to my friends
