Product used: Oxy (Clinical Treatment)
Pros:
Works really well
You see results the day after
Cons:
May dry your skin
The bottles are little
May sting the first week of use
This is a great product, I've been using it for a month and my acne is better than it was. But the only bad thing about this is that it may dry out your skin too much, and it stings for the first week. Anything other than that.. this product is great.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Clears skin at first
Toner was good
Cons:
Harsh
Drying
Expensive
Temporary relief of acne
Not worth it at all! I used this product for about a year and at first it worked wonders for clearing my acne (granted it dryed my skin out so terribly) but eventually it completely stopped working and my acne came back worse then ever! and when the acne came back it was impossible to clear. I've looked online and aparantly a lot of people have the same problem. Don't waste your money

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
First one that WORKED!
Cleared up my acne!
In a HUGE bottle (I still haven't finished my first one yet and it's been 3 months)
Gel-based, not some oily lotion
Controls the oil -- I'm not super oily anymore!
Non-scented, so great for sensitive skin
Easy to apply
Cons:
Doesn't always prevent new ones from forming
Can be drying
Pricey with tax and shipping -- NEEDS COUPONS!
After reading many reviews about many acne products, I finally decided to try this one. I was reluctant to buy it at first, thinking that this would be like everyone other acne product I used -- like Proactiv, which didn't work -- but I decided to "take the risk." After using it for a month, I originally thought that I didn't get so many pimples because it was winter break and I had a good night's rest every night. But now that school has started, my skin is still clear! I do get occasional pimples here and there when I have hormone changes, but I haven't gotten really bad ones like I used to and the ones I get usually clear up in a day or two while using BP. The KEY is not only applying BP, but also taking care of your body. Drinking water, eating healthy, exercising are also ways to promote healthy skin. Take care of your body from the inside out. ALWAYS wear a moisture after the BP because the gel does dry. I use Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel at night, and Aveeno's Positively Radiant Moisturizer with SPF 15 during the day. If you've never tried BP before, start on a small spot for a week and see how your skin adjusts. Because even if your skin reacts unwantedly, it'll only be once spot instead of your whole face. Everyone's skin reacts differently to products, so get to know your skin. I hope this helps.
