Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Cons:
The people who leave negative feeback on this product.
After having acne for over 25 years (severe congestion and deep cystic acne for the past 4 years), I have never used a better product and I have tried them all and I mean all. This product works so fast, everyday your skin keeps getting better. I just had to write a review and let you all know as I am so impressed and blown away by this product. Honestly, my cystic acne is clear after 2 weeks of use. My family and friends can not believe how clear my skin is, everyone wants to buy it. I will be passing the word on to anyone I see with acne and I am starting right here. If you have acne please try it, you won't be sorry. Your skin will feel the best it has ever felt after 3 days. My years of tears are finally over. I bought mine on ebay and I will be a customer for life. To the guy who developed this product, I will be forever grateful.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Absolutely NONE.
Cons:
DOES NOT WORK, DOES NOT WORK!! Makes skin WAY worse!! Enough said.
Buying Proactiv is the biggest mistake I've made in my life, period. It made my skin even more sensitive, broke out in places I've NEVER broken out before, made my skin extremely red and irritated everyday. Bottom line; don't trust those highly-paid actresses on TV ads. They do not use Proactiv.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
All natural, no animal products, no animal testing, pleasant smell, nice consistency, relatively inexpensive.
Cons:
Did not work for me at all.
I too really wanted to like this product and feel I gave it a fair shot of a full 2 months usage. But my skin got worse and worse, worse than it has ever been before. After 10 weeks, I had to give it up. Was using Proactiv before Carley's but was not effective anymore. Really upset that it just didn't work for me and now I a lot of really bad scars.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
worked really well for 8 years
Cons:
stopped working after 8 years & my skin became ridiculously worse afterwards. Even before i tried proactiv my skin was moderately acne prone Now its so bad I'm on accutane.
It's just a matter of time till this product will stop working and make your skin worse. This is a temporary fix that isn't worth the end result

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Cleared my skin very fast. Could see it working within the first 3 days.
Cons:
Dried me skin a little but not that badly
This product really works. I tired numerous things to get rid of my acne, and nothing seemed to be consistent. I tried this and my face is so much clearer. I get many complements on how clear my skin is. The only time I really break out is if i'm not consistent with the product 2 times a day.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
At first my acne seemed to be getting worse, but after about the first week my skin improved dramatically! I had a ton of pimples all around my mouth, now I barely have any! Now im just left with scars...
Cons:
If you wear foundation, the face wash may not work extremely well for you.
After using countless acne products and being disappointed again and again, this product is worth the price, it leaves your skin soft and smooth! The clinique emergency gel-lotion works great with this system! I will continue to use this!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
It works; very affordable; generous quantity; product lasts a good amount of time; fast shipping;
Cons:
None what so ever.
This product worked for me. I seriously have tried everything under the sun and nothing really truly worked for me. I am thirty years old and have had acne problems for several years now. I have been using Charley's Clear & Smooth since Oct. 24th of 07 and my face looks good and soft too. I honestly will not try anything different. This product is it for me! I still get like one or two a month but I think that's just hormones. Also so ladies, I have been using a makeup called "every day minerals" and it works great. It looks natural, feels light and covers really, really well.....I'd check it out. I honestly swear by these two products to have helped me a great deal.
FYI - I use the bar soap; acne scrub; acne-prone day moisturizer; and the evening repair moisturize daily.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
i love the smell, idk why people keep saying the smell is bad lol.. it dries up your acne too
Cons:
dries too much, doesnt work like it says it does..
the product works somewhat.. i love the smell.. the beads gently work to take off your makeup and leave you feeling soft and clean. it really doesnt make the acne disappear as fast as it's supposed to. i just used proactiv before i got this stuff. proactiv didnt work for me either. i dont have that bad of acne, but they both dry me out VERY much.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
If it's used consistently, it is very effective. Proactiv got rid of my whiteheads and blackheads very well, when nothing else really does that.
Cons:
It's a bit expensive and the lotion runs out much too fast.
It's worth a try if you've tried everything with no results.
Pros:
The best acne product on the market by a long shot. Customer service is exceptional and fast. Products are cheap. Unlimited time money back guarantee including shipping.
