Product used: The Regimen
Cons:
-The first few months were really tough. My face was very red, dry and irritable. I hung in there for the long haul and I'm glad I did!
This product is absolutely amazing! I had moderate acne since I was 13 years old. It was a consistent, frustrating battle and I had been spending about $60 a month on prescription meds. Nothing worked! I heard about this product and took a leap of faith and I am in LOVE! No more oily skin, no more breakouts, only flawless skin! Just be advised, if you're going to try this, the first few months are really tough. Read the directions closely.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Works great, affordable, lasts long
Cons:
none
better than proactiv or any other store brand I've used over the years. Its cheap and lasts. To be honest, I used proactiv for 8-9 years and this works better!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Fragrance free, inexpensive
Cons:
None
At 40 years old I started having severe cystic breakouts along my jawline, the side of my cheeks and occasionally around my mouth.
After googling 'acne' a million times trying to find answers, I clicked on this site that kept coming up and started reading. I was skeptical, but had nothing to lose. If I had before and after photos to show I would! This has been a miracle really, I am so grateful to Dan.
I nave never written a review on anything, but I feel this is so important! The regimen works!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Wash)
Pros:
- Clears up acne
- Removes shine
- Smells really nice
-
Cons:
- Stops working after a while
This is the one product I always end up going back to since it is the only one that actually clears up my face well. I have noticed that it does stop working after a few months, so I usually switch to an other product for a few months and then go back to this one. I use it night and day with moisturizer and it does not dry my skin at all.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Love it! It is easy to use. I saw results in about a week. I use it every day and only have a pimple once in a while. That is when I use the 'terminator', and its gone in a couple of days. I consider it a blessing.
Cons:
I am running out and can't find it in my regular pharmacy.
I have been using AcneFree for more than 3 years. Since I started using AcneFree I am no longer embarassed about pimples on my face. I have been recommending it to my friends, family and strangers.

Product used: La Roche-Posay (Effaclar Duo)
Pros:
None
Cons:
Stings face (extremely painful and irritating to skin)
Skin peels
Worsens acne
Face turns red
Dries out skin
This stuff is awful. I went from having moderate acne to having severely painful pimples appear all over my face. My skin is now the worst it has ever been. Do not buy this product!

Product used: The Regimen
Pros:
Acne free!
Cheap
Easy to access
Cons:
Very dry skin
I had tried everything and when nothing else worked It was either this or a dermatologist. Since this was cheaper I gave it a go and haven't been happier!

Product used: The Regimen

clear skin
Cons:
dryness

This product was honestly the only acne product that actually worked for me. I tried everything and had relatively severe acne. Absolutely recommended!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The only product that has actually worked consistently
Cons:
Takes 20+ minutes to do every morning and night (4 steps - wash, toner, treatment, moisterize)
somewhat expensive
I have light to moderate acne that is very persistent, really for the past 5 years. I have tried washes and used BP for years and years. smothering my face with BP generally kept me to 1-2 pimples / acne lesions per week, but my face was wrinkled and dry. to me, it is the proactive toner (step 2) that made all of the difference in the world. I have used the system correctly for 3-4 months, and this is the best that my skin has been in a long time. you have to follow each step and let things dry before going to the next step.

Product used: Quinoderm ((5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream)
Pros:
-Works wonders
-Cheap
-Easy to apply
-
Cons:
-Dries a bit the skin (that's why I use moisturizing cream in the morning)
-A bit ouchy
Derm prescribed me this cream along with one other. I used to hate this cream at first cause It was really hurtful. Finally, it became my fave cream! It dries nicely the pimple and scars are hardly noticeable! :) Nice product over the counter If you have mild-moderate acne but I doubt it would work If your acne is severe!
Pros:
-No more breakouts!
-Gorgeous skin
