it just leaves your face dry but either with dan's moisturizer or cerave, your face will be properly moisturized

Worth the money,

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It seemed to work at first.
Cons:
The cost. Smells bad.broke me out worse after long term use. Feels like sand paper on your skin.
I had pretty bad oily acne prone skin and decided to get proactiv. I used it for about 2 years and it just won't working as great towards the end. I called customer service many times and they said to use less...by the time I finally stopped using it, i was only using a pea size amount and my skin was red and still had acne.
I found out that if you have a good cleanser you don't need a toner. THe toner made my skin stink also.
After using proactiv i started seaching and found a better solution that works way better!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Left my face feeling clean.
Cons:
Expensive, Dried my skin out soooo much. I kept using it to see if it would go away but it got worse. too much BP.
If you've got oilyoily skin then use it.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Bar)
Pros:
Works fast!
Cons:
Dries your skin the first couple of uses
I used the cream wash on my back and within the first week my back was clear! It really worked. It's best to use a good lotion like Cetaphil if your going out. But I really like this product for my back. I felt so confident. I wore a halter.
But it works alright on the face. Not the best cleanser for the face but does wonders on your back for some reason.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
Got rid of my big annoying pimples within 2 days!
Cons:
But after 2 days my face started to burn and my skin went extremely dry and flakey. And the burning was really bad. I used moisteriser with it but even after I stopped using it, 2 days laters my face is still burning.
I would recommend to use this if your pimples simple wont go away! It wil get rid of your pimples but be really careful to only use it for 1 day or 2 at the max! otherwise you'll have the driest skin and horrible burning feeling. Nothing else got rid of my pimples though so for that, I'm very grateful.

Pros:
It did clear up my skin at first.
Cons:
It dried up my face leaving it irritated and horribly flake-covered. Your face has to produce more oil to adjust.
I was a user of the proactive system for years and then one year it just quit working. My acne came back worse than it had ever been and proactive team kept switching me to different formulas but none worked. So it will show you results fast, but it will eventually stop working. It is also very expensive.

Product used: Brevoxyl-4 (Benzoyl Peroxide (4%) Cream)
Pros:
cleared up about 70% of my acne so far. less oily face.
Cons:
still get spots dotted around my face and there always really stubborn, take ages to f*ck off.
when i first started to use this product i noticed a massive improvement, i had no spots within 2 weeks. hardly dries my face out but still use moisturiser. but gradually i started getting spots in places were i never got them, like my cheekbones and mouth area.
so bottom line, its cleared up the masses of spots i use to get along my jaw line, and now i just get them dotted around my face. WHICH is a hell lot better. has worked well anough to keep persisting at it and hope it works to clear my whole face.
peace, and much love folks.
Pros:
this controls oil VERY VERY well
i had a very oily face before i used this, now it is dry
