Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
I have been using it for well over a year, every day, 2 times a day. My face has been the same.
I'm hispanic and Irish. I know Hispanic people are more prone to skin problems.

Product used: The Regimen
Pros:
Effective for preventing moderate acne (I don't know about severe acne...).
A good amount of treatment for the price.
Even my old acne scars seem to be lighter.
Cons:
Doesn't absorb very quickly, takes some time (especially the moisturizer).
Suggested amount to use of the treatment is one large tube a month - I think you could do less (I'm using the same bottle from 6 months ago).
Good product that has worked for my moderate acne, hasn't made my skin perfect yet, but very significant progress... and much better than Proactive.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
eventually clears it up
took less time than some products i used
Cons:
makes skin dry and flaky
dries and feels like u can move or make facial expressions
all skin types are different, so it might not work for some people. i also used dove soap and oil free acne wash from neutrogena, this product and the face wash contains benzoyl peroxide, which dries and irritates the skin and can also cause redness. my face had pimples and redness all around my nose and other places too, it was bad, i felt ugly and didnt want to leave my house until i used these three things (dove, the face wash and this product) it cleared in a week.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
-removes whiteheads
-makes BIG whiteheads smaller
-gone overnight
Cons:
-dries out your skin (not badly only if you don;t use a moisturer)
-skin CAN get addicted if used everyday
this is a great product but I HIGHLY recommend you only use this every other day as your skin can get addicted to this product. PLEASE use a mouisturer after using this product if you don't already do. other than that it is an AMAZING product!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Works.
Does not dry my skin.
No flakyness.
Makes my skin smooth.
Improves acne.
Cons:
Very time consuming.
At first I was skeptical to try this product but when I read everyone's success rate, I just had to try it for myself. I have light acne but once a month I would break out to moderate acne. When I received my order I was afraid that it would make my skin very dry and flaky. I'm almost done with my first week and I am very happy to say that it did not leave me dry or flaky at all! I was very impressed and at the same time shocked because mostly everyone who reviewed this product had symptoms of drying and flaking. I followed Dan's regime 100%. I made sure to let my face dry before applying the treatment and I made sure to apply moisturizer after the bp had dried. I haven't tried Dan's cleanser or moisturizer. I have been using Purpose Bar soap and Purpose moisturizer and it has been amazing for me! Everyone should try this product! It is worth every penny.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Works for a while
Makes face feel clean
Cons:
Irritates skin really bad
Itchy
Make skin sensitive to the sun and dry
Makes you have more acne
This is the worst product ever. Proactiv really ruin my skin. I mean my skin was not perfect before but proactiv made it really bad. I had like 3 huge pimples. Then I started using proactiv maybe a week. My skin felt clean but It was getting worse. My face was red itchy and the worst part of all I had 10 pimples on each side of my cheeks. Never in my life I had to wear so much make-up like I do now to cover my face. I went to 3 pimples to 20 pimples on my face.

-clears scars on one day

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Makes face soft, less oily, and keeps ance down abit.
Cons:
Doesn't really work like it says it does in the commercials. Doesn't get the head out of all the bumps, just the small ones.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with bad ance and very sensitive skin. It only got to the small bumps on my face, kept it soft, and sort of clear. It didn't do what I thought it would do in about 5 weeks like, get to all my deep black heads and make my face super clear, lol.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
-Saw results fast
-Made skin really soft
-Makes for a quick face wash routine
Cons:
-I put some moisturizer on my neck and it made it really red and itchy
-Red face after use but goes away fast
-I did nit use it one morning and I broke out pretty bad
I got great results and it is still working it's way to giving me clear skin. I like it and it is a fast face wash routine with pretty quick results, just be careful and be consistent with it!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Clears acne
gentle
absorbs easily
Cons:
bleaches towels and clothing - true of all bp
I've been using this for 6 months. After 33 years of trying everything else with minimal result or good result with bad side effects, I can say this is the best. I think it's not just the product, but also how you're instructed to use it that makes it the best.
Pros:
Cleared up my face a little bit. Not much tho.
