Product used: Dr. Sheffield's (Clear Zit Acne Treatment Cream)
Cons:
* Slight irritation
* Leaves the skin lighter than actual colour
GREAT product! My acne set in at around 13 and after numerous failures with other products my older brother introduced me to Clearzit. It worked quickly and it had me raving to my friends. They use it also and they LOVE it. I'm 15 now and still using Clearzit. I can honestly say I have no (real) problem with it.

Product used: DDF (Benzoyl Peroxide Gel 5% with Tea Tree Oil)
Pros:
I am 30+ and had a breakout beyond my normal breakouts. I noticed improvement after one use. I've used it for a month now, and my skin is back to normal.
Cons:
Drys out skin. Slight burning sensation the first few uses.
I am completely happy with my purchase. I use about every other day now and only on spots where I have breakouts. I don't want to dry out the areas of my skin that look good.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
Packaged well
Cons:
Does not work; drys out face, flakes, causes MORE pimples, smells terrible, inconsistent, not worth the price
Do not buy this product. Many people I know have had no luck with this cream and neither have I, it drys out skin and can even cause more pimples. It smells terrible and flakes easily. I would not reccomend this to anyone, save your money.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
-The fastest clearing acne product I have used!!!!
-The most effective acne clearing product I have used!!!!!!!
Cons:
-Dryness of course
Dryness < No acne
I had Papules (white heads with out the white) for about 3 months. They were all over my face. I tried everything to fix these hard to get rid of bumps. I came along this product and have to say I was completely clear of my severe acne in less than two weeks.
My Regimen: olay dual exfoaliating cleanser Clean and clear persa-gel St. Ives mineral moisterizer
October 4, 2009
Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Spreads very well compared to Acne On the Spot which makes it very difficult to be super gentle.
Doesn't leave my skin white afterwards like On the Spot did either. Most importantly, it helped clear up a VERY severe, debilitating breakout I ha
Cons:
None.
This is the cornerstone of the regimen. To get clear you will need a lot of benzoyl peroxide and Dan has been kind enough to provide it in generous 8 and 16 oz bottles. Great product! Use this product and you will get the results you want!

Product used: Brevoxyl-4 (Benzoyl Peroxide (4%) Cream)
Pros:
i have been using this product every a.m. and p.m. this was in combination with solodyn(an antibiotic) it has been about 2 months and my face looks a lot better, but if i forget then i will have a large blemish appear on my forehead.
Cons:
it does dry my face and make it red. but i am also using retin a so that contributes to it too.
my acne was terrible on my forehead and now it is mild if any. i am 13 and have had acne since i was 9. i am so happy to be clearing it up.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
large size, always consistent in performance, IT WORKS. Before using Carley's I had deep, cystic acne on my chin. I haven't had one of those pimples since I started using it 6 years ago!
Cons:
Nothing really.
It works. I've been using it as I said for 6 years. I wouldn't ever consider switching to anything else. Not only does it work on the acne, but I think it has kept my skin younger looking and smooth.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Aquagel)
Pros:
used the 10% bar with 10% topical gel- completly cleared my skin, inexpensive, easy to use
Cons:
very drying- had to use eucerine creme as moisturizer every time i washed my face which made it more oily (but clear!), bleached towels, bedsheets, and clothes
if you're looking for an inexpensive way to treat moderate acne, i recommend this product. i used the 10% bar along with the 10% topical gel am and pm for 2 years. although it completly cleared my skin, it was harsh and really dried it out. the only moisturizer that worked was eucerine creme which i applied over the topical gel am and pm. that made my skin oily so i did have to use oil sheets and reapply my powder a few times throughout the day. overall i was very happy with the results from this product :)

Product used: Benzac AC (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Gel)
Pros:
It's awesome!
Cons:
Bleaches coloured fabrics and dries up your skin.
I've been using it for about 2 years and it works very well on my skin. I use it on my arms and on my face whenever I have a pimple.
Pros:
* Cheap
* Works quickly
* Does not make the skin feel oily & heavy (very light)
