Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Works well if you stick to the 2 times a day usage

It takes like 3 weeks to see how well it works.
If you use this product consistently twice a day it will work wonders. I like proactive!

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
Works well for problematic acne face.
Cons:
Makes skin tight, reddish & dark. But we can use the Bio Oil/Rose hip Oil to fades the scars. The important is to overcome the acne first.
I had a moderate-severe acne problems which makes me so shy even to go out from home.But I have no choice as I'm working. I bought alot of products just to overcome my acne problems. Its kind of try & error. Finally I used Panoxyl 5%. By God grace, i'm free from acne now. Be patience while using this products, you can see some significant improvements in your face.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Family members won't go without it! Their skin truly looks so clear and smooth!
Cons:
You will regret it if you stop using it within a few days. Which makes this a PRO because it just proves that it really works!
A family member uses this and they have oily skin AND play sports. Without using it...bad breakouts. This truly helps keep it under control! It might take a few days to a few weeks for you to notice the difference, but you WILL see results. The Kick *ss formula is best I've noticed when they are in involved with sports, otherwise the Original works good too. Shipments are received at an unbelievably fast rate too! I would highly recommend this product!

Product used: Dr. Sheffield's (Clear Zit Acne Treatment Cream)
Pros:
makes skin smooth gets rid of acne fairly quickly
Cons:
drys out skin
works pretty well just use a good moisturizer (do not use lotion with a lot of perfume in it like bath and body works because it will irritate your skin and make it burn badly!)

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
cleared up acne by next morning. people noticed a difference within a week. got rid of oil
Cons:
It is too harsh to use twice a day. drys out skin, stings a bit at first then feels refreshing. don't use near eyes
I have sensitive skin and mild to moderate acne, and it cleared it up really fast like 2 weeks. It did cause a little blotchiness in the first week b/c of my sensitive skin but it went away and helped. Usually skin starts off oil free in the morning then gets oily during the day, this kept it oil free the whole day! awesome product. try it before forgetting it!

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
this product is simply amazing. doesn't matter what kind of acne you have, def helps all. THIS IS THE ONLY ONLY THING THAT HAS EVER WORKED FOR ME!
Cons:
the only problem is that you're going to have to keep buying it ;)
I've tried just about everything, went to dermatologist, i've tried metrocycline pills, used accutane, tried differin gel. all that did was make my skin worse. i used it consistently, but still saw that my acne was getting bigger and redder. yes, i know you need to stay consistent in order to see results, i did, but how long after you don't see results do you feel the need to find something else? my acne was so bad and it was so emberassing to me, that i would cry at work because my confidence was so low.
like i said i've tried everything, proactive, neutrogena skin id, dermatology products, clean and clear, aveda outer peace, and many many others. NOTHING ELSE HAS WORKED LIKE THIS. I can drastically tell an amazing difference and so can all the people who've been by my side can as well. YOU HAVE TO GET THIS, I'M URGING YOU. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!

Product used: Benzac AC (Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Gel)
Pros:
- Clears up your skin
- Reduced amount of Blackheads
Cons:
- Dry Skin
I used the Water based Face Wash 5%, on 2x Daily use, and also on massive flare ups I used the 5% Cream overnight. Although this made my skin fairly dry, Benzac worked super well. Although my face is not completely cleared up, it has gotten rid of blackheads for the future and has brought the others out. My skin is slowly becoming clearer and this is only week 3-4! iam really happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone. I use to be embarrassed to go out at times because of my skin or flare ups, whereas now my skin looks cleaner and healthier. Ps. Make sure you use ALOT of moisturiser....
Pros:
absolutely nothing.
