Product used: AcneFree (Sensitive Skin Formula)
Pros:
Acne free!
Helps exfoliate dry skin
Near immediate results
Cons:
Makes skin FEEL dry, I use ponds dry skin cream after the last Acne Free step to fix this.
Skin feels a little raw but is WELL worth it
I've been using this for two weeks and haven't had a new pimple since the day I started. My pimples cleared up right away but my nodules(?) are taking a while to clear but are going down faster than normal. My skin was always dry and flaky and looked dull in the winter, I would exfoliate daily and still have a flaky nose. After using this for a few days my dead skin has been removed and my skin looks fantastic!!! People have commented on how great my skin looks. A few things I do differently from the directions to get better results: 1. After using the cleanser I rub my skin with the wet towel and then rub my skin with a towel when I dry it before I put on the toner. This gets the dead skin off. 2. I let the Acne Free moisturizer soak in for a few minutes and then follow-up with Ponds Dry Skin Cream to help my skin feel moisturized all day. 3. Don't stop using it twice a day if your skin is red and flaky at first. Your skin might take a couple of days to get all the dead skin off. After a week of using this twice a day I was EXTREMELY happy with the results!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The product does work for the most part
Cons:
You are decieved about the actuall cost. The commercial states $19.95 and free shipping. What they don't tell you is that you are getting trial sizes. So after the initial $21 cost, if you opt for the 3 month shipment your are now in for an additional $73.
You are being scammed on the cost.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
- Cleared up my adult acne!
- Not as drying on my skin as using the Acne.org regimen twice daily
- Smells fresh
- Leaves my skin soft
Cons:
- Slightly drying in winter months, but SO worth it to me
- The cleanser doesn't seem to clean my skin completely, so I use Acne.org's cleanser instead
I don't write online reviews ever. But I had to make an exception here in the event that I can help someone out, goodness knows I would have appreciated it! Here's my story, I've battled acne for over 15 years (I'm 30 now). I went through two 5 month doses of Accutane as a teenager which cleared things up for a few years, but once out of college, my acne flared up again and seemed to get worse every year. From age 24 to 30, I tried a number of acne-fighting lines: Pro-Activ which worked for a few months then turned my skin scaly and red, Aveda's Acne line which didn't do much, multiple different prescriptions (oral and topical) from the dermatologist, and then Acne.org. Dan's regimen worked on to an extent, but my already sensitive skin became red and flaky, which would have been manageable, but I still had pimples...so it didn't seem worth it to me. Looking to change things up once again, I perused lots of reviews online and settled on trying Clinique as a last ditch effort before heading back to the derm and requesting Accutane. And I'm so glad that I did! I use the Clinique regimen in the morning, and the Acne.org face wash and BP at night, and within 3 weeks, my face became 100% clear...I'm seriously amazed. Now that I've been using this regimen for a while, I've added Clinque's "dramatically different moisturizing gel" in the summer, and Clinique's "moisture surge" in the winter. I finally have skin I feel proud of. It's soft and blemish free which is something I haven't been able to say in a long time. And even better, I've been able to slowly add in anti-aging creams without the fear of breaking out. I can't recommend this line enough, and if you try it, I hope it works the same for you!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Incredible product!!!!!!! Effective and quick working!!!!! I've been using it for a few weeks and my face is already clear from pimples. I hope this effect last 'cause it's GREAT!!!!
Cons:
The basic dryness, nothing that the moisturizer can't resolve. At first the moisturizer kind of hurt my skin a little bit, I felt it a little strong, but right now it doesn't. I think my face was just getting used to it. The BP and the moisturizer really take a little long to dru out, so be patient.
The product is great, you must use it following every single instruction. Do not touch your skin!! Specially if its starting to dry up, cause you will hurt it. It takes a little longer to complete the whole procedure every day, so I recommend that you GET UP EARLY and do your regimen following every instruction. The whole treatkent is so worth it!!!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
Clears acne fast
Leaves skin smooth
Works great for a cheap price
Cons:
Dries skin out
Just started using it and noticed a big difference. Even though it dries skin out, it gets rid of unwanted acne.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel)
Pros:
Reduces acne
Dries quickly
Cons:
Ages skin
Pan Oxyl 2.5% Aqua Gel was the only 2.5% BP gel I could find in the UK. I used it following Dan's Regime for about 5 months in total, using it morning and evening for 3 of those months, then just evening for 2 months. I found it was effective at clearing my face acne, however I also found it aged my skin quite a lot. I used moisturiser twice a day also- so it wasn't that my skin was dry, it just looked old and rough and lost its 'glow'. After 3 months of the twice a day application I thought I'd try just once a day, which did improve the condition of my skin (i.e. less ageing) but it wasn't so effective on my acne, and I got more spots. I am in my mid 30s though- and maybe because I am a bit older than many acne sufferers the 'ageing' part of it was more concerning for me. I would definitely recommend it for younger people though.

None

BEWARE when you order online you are joining the "Proactiv" club. They will automatically charge you every 2 months and send you a new package. They will NOT notify you that they are doing this.
DON'T BUY.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Came with a free refining mask
Cons:
Didn't work
I tried using this product twice, both times I used it every day for about a four month period. I was really excited to get started using this (it was the first real thing I had tried for my acne) but it gave absolutely no results. I feel like this product would only help you if you had three or four zits on your entire face, because that's about all cleared for me. I had never cancelled my order so I kept getting boxes of it and after about six months of stopping I tried it again, but as before I saw no results.
I have seen results for some people, but definitely not recommended if you have severe acne.
Pros:
Is effective on mild-moderate acne if u use it regularly.
Order cums on time.
The user manual has all the info u need in a very simple language.
