Cons:
None yet.
We finally found an inexpensive, low-strength BP gel that my daughter is able to use without the burning and irritation that came with higher-strength BP gels. Since she's able to use it everyday her skin is FINALLY almost clear now, and she'll be able to continue using it as a preventive medication along with her prescription of Differin. It's size alone makes it inexpensive; 8 of the 1-ounce drugstore bottles of BP gel would cost around $40 before tax. I think this was less than half that. Highly recommend!

Product used: The Regimen
Pros:
It works!
Super gentle for sensitive skin
Cons:
Flaking
Drying
Redness
A bit expensive for 3 products
I have used this since the beginning of September 2012. I noticed after three months of using the Regimen according to the instructions, my face is finally clear! I have had light to moderate acne for 11 years and now it's finally gone. I used to think that birth control pills was my only option left, because I usually had hormonal acne. I'm super happy knowing that this is probably the only thing I'll buy to treat my acne. It's a bit pricey, but it works!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It just works.
Ease of use
3-Step formula
Cons:
Initial Hardening Effect:
Dryness of skin
Itchiness
Peeling
Unfortunately, there seems to be a common misconception with this product. That is, your acne gets worse once you stop. This is untrue. Your acne only reappears (which is normal because acne CANNOT be cured) ...but it by no means becomes worse. Benzoyl Peroxide is NOT an antibiotic, but rather an antimicrobial--this means the acne bacteria cannot develop resistance to Benzoyl Peroxide's killing action. In other words, the product will work the same tomorrow as it does today. Best of luck.

Product used: The Regimen
Pros:
After I used it for just 1 month, my skin had significant improvement. Now, I have used it for 6 months, every one praised me for having flawless skin. I don't even need to put BB Cream or foundation when going out. I just love all Acne.org products, from Cleanser, Treatment, Mosturizer, AHA and Jojoba oil. I have bought the complete set of them. Thanks Danial... You are so great.
Cons:
Initially, it made my skin dry and flaky.
Just continue the regimen strictly, basically, I couldn't find any Cons in Acne.org products.
Read the product instructions properly, follow the regimen strictly. Don't mix using other products. You sure can see your skin improve after a short time. I can't imagine if I didn't start Danial's regiment. He has given me a happy life.

Product used: Brevoxyl-4 (Benzoyl Peroxide (4%) Cream)
Pros:
- works quickly to prevent pimples
- started to clear my skin within 2 weeks
- inexpensive
- prevents any new pimples from growing
Cons:
- can be very drying if not used with a good moisturizer
Really awesome when used properly. I have been using this for a few months now and i have never been so happy with my skin! start off on a tiny amount at a time to prevent extreme drying so that your skin can take to the product and so that you know if your skin can handle it. All in all a great product

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
+ Refining Mask
+ Exfoliates Dead Skin
+ Not Complicated to use
+ Smells nice
Cons:
- Currently There are 2 versions of the product (see below)
- Expensive
- Doesn't clear acne fully
- Irritation and Redness
- Poor product for the price you pay
Proactiv is bogus and overrated just like Murad, Dermalogica, and some others that have great advertisements, high prices to convince that "it must be good since the price is high", and a disappointing letdown of purged skin and low confidence.
Honestly it's sad when the 2oz tube of refining mask (which really does work wonders like it claims) is the highlight of the show. This 3 step kit talks the talk but can be out beaten by AcneFree or Neutrogena any day of the week, and I suggest you save your cash for that instead.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Clears acne FAST. Expect results within few days, and flawless skin in one month
Cons:
benzoyl peroxide doesn't go on clear like the regimens. can be very drying
Been using this for YEARS, the only acne product that's worked for me. I personally have zero patience. When I have a breakout I expect whatever medication I put on to clear it fast. I want immediate results. I have no patience for dans 3-4 month regimen or retin a etc etc. Acnefree clears me up fast. Life is too short to be patient waiting for your face to clear!
December 11, 2012
Pros:
- Works fast!
- Moisturizer + SPF 15
- 2.5 BP Acne Lotion works wonders!
- Cleanser has a weird consistency but works well.
Cons:
- Acne Lotion can be drying/irritating. (I use the moisturizer AM and PM to avoid overdrying)
- Acne Lotion and Moisturizer finish quicker than the cleanser. Neutrogena should sell these individually.
I ´ve been using this system for three months and it has significantly reduced my acne and scarring. I was considering going into another round of accutane but this has done wonders for my skin. I ´m so amazed that I no longer have to wear foundation anymore! At the beginning I tried using the system as directed, using the lotion AM and PM and moisturizer only on AM but I find it works so much better if I use it AM and PM. I also use Olay PRO-X with this system and it really helps with blackheads and blocked pores. Would recommend.
Pros:
*It works on my daughter's acne-prone skin.
*It's gentle enough that she's able to use it daily without irritating her sensitive skin.
*The tube is HUGE and inexpensive and should last her a year.
