Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Cons:
Dry skin patches---use a SPF moisturizer will counteract that problem
I have used for 7 days and this product is great and I have mild to moderate acne. I saw dramatic results in three days! I'm a former user of ProActiv, which is more expensive and harsher on the skin. Acne Free works and makes your skin smoother than Proactiv. Definetly, use a SPF moisturizer after the 3 step process and you will not experience dry skin.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Very nice products, fast shipping, great value. I've never had to return a product but they offer a pretty risk-free guarantee, and I believe they would be very good about honoring it.
Cons:
None
I've used the acne treatment and soaps for a few years. They are very good products that feel nice and don't dry the skin out. The soap is especially good- it leaves my skin feeling clean but moist. I wouldn't say they worked miracles on me, but they are the only products I want to buy regularly. The moisturizers are also really lovely. The products come in fairly large quantities which last a long time.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Works... especially on those really deep sore volcanos. They return only if I stop using this product.
Cons:
I have to keep using it for the rest of my life.
Tries the rest... this is the best.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Cleared up my skin
Cons:
Took a long time
stings a little
you have to keep using it
I have had moderate acne since i was 12 (I'm 18) and I've tried almost every over the counter product, plus been perscribed Differin and another product which I forget the name of. Nothing worked long term.
I bought this product and used it in combination with Cetaphil face wash and oil free moisturizer from my derm. I followed the regimen exactly and it works AMAZINGLY. The first week or two I noticed a small difference but I figured why not keep going, so I did, and after 6 weeks my skin was clear. When I came home from school my family commented on how clear and beautiful my skin looked. This product is seriously the bomb. You DO have gorgeous skin under your acne and this stuff will make it show.
I just went backpacking for a month and couldn't wash my face, so I broke out a little, which shows you have to keep using this stuff. Get the big bottle.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
I had mild to server acne. Now my face is PERFECT. I have spent a lot of money at the dermo and on products and never got the results that I have gotten from On-the-Spot. It did infact take about two months to have the perfect face that I now have....but compared to having lived with acne for over 18 years...it is worth the wait.
Cons:
NONE
GET ON-THE-SPOT. Just give it some time to work and you too will have PERFECT ACNE-FREE face!!!!

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Clears different kids of acne
Can buy it locally
It works!
Cons:
Can cause irritation if not used properly
Doesn't come with moisturizer.
My skin is very sensitive so I was worried about using this product. At first, my skin got irritated in the usually areas so I stopped using it twice a day - I also tried avoiding those sensitive areas (around my mouth, anywhere near my eyes). No more irritation and my acne is disappearing fast! I had cysts on my cheeks and neck and small, scaly, flesh colored, rash-like, pimples all over my forehead. My forehead is almost smooth now after a few weeks and the pimples on my cheek are almost all gone! I am very happy with this product. As for the moisturizer - I buy a three step kit, the last step is a repairing lotion which is not meant to moisturize. I use Aveno moisturizer for my face, but only every once and a while.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
+Clears up acne .
+Skin will stay clear if you use Dan's regimen religiously and properly.
Cons:
-dries out skin, making it feel really tight
-extremely sensitive around the eyes
-will cause redness the first week or two
-BP is a bit tricky to apply if you have facial hair since it sticks to the hair.
Before I started using this, there wasn't one day in my life where I didn't have at least one noticeable pimple on my face. I tried everything over-the-counter and everything my dermatologist prescribed to me didn't work. When I started using this, my skin actually got a little bit worse for awhile, but after about a month it started to clear up my skin! You just have to give your skin time to adjust to it. If you were just like me and nothing has worked for you, it doesn't hurt to try it,

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Can't think of any
Cons:
Dries out skin, causes more break outs than I had and caused boils, very attractive!
After using it for a few days my skin is so dry and unhealthy.
This product is made for people with severe ache who have oily skin. I would not recommended it either. Watch out for special promo offer, they already have more coming to you before you can use what you have. See a dermatologist.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
none
Cons:
This company is a rip off and I have reported them to the better business bureau. They are thieves.
I only bought 1 kit for my daughter to try out. I did not ask for anymore to be sent. I purchased it a few days before Christmas of 2009. It is now March 1, 2010. My original payment was $19.95. They have now taken an additional $67.71 for 3 more kits (of which I have only received 1)that I did not order and another one that is on the way. I spoke with a representative from Proactive,he said he could stop the last shipment from going out but could not stop the automatic withdrawal on March 18th even though it is only March 1st today. It bounced 2 checks at my bank which cost me an additional $62.00. I don't know if they think she needs to bathe in it or what, but she has only used half of the first kit before it irritated her skin so bad that she had to stop using it. Do not ever purchase any of this product or any other product they offer. They said as soon as I send back all the extra product they sent to me at my expense they they will give me back my money in 4-6 weeks and they won't cover the checks they bounced on me. I have to go to my bank and close my checking account and open a new one in order to make sure they don't continue to withdraw money from my account. I will never do business with this company ever again.
Pros:
Price
Smooth skin
