Product used: DDF (Benzoyl Peroxide Gel 5% with Tea Tree Oil)
Pros:
works so well!!
no smell
doesn't dry out or burn
Cons:
expensive
Oh my gosh I love this stuff!! It's the only thing I've found that has almost completely cleared my skin. I use it every single day after exfoliating cleanser, and before a light moisturizer. Doesn't dry me out, doesn't burn, doesn't make me flake, I think the 5% is a perfect amount for me. I just wish it wasn't almost $30.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Cleared up most of my acne first time i used
Can be found easily in drugstores
Affordable
Work faster than most other drugstore brands
Toner is very soothing and refreshing
Cons:
Irritated sensitive skin (which creat redness)
Smell reallllllly bad and strong
Cleanser doesn't really remove make-up well
Treatment lotion dry out skin very badly
-The treatment lotion: doesnt help fast enough for getting rid of pimples. And when apply to extra sensitive area ( under the neck, hair line area...ect) doesnt help with acne at all ,and make those sensitive area itchy,swollen, irritated, and red :(
-Toner: nice, remove excess oil well, refreshing,soothing, smell good,hydrate skin.
-Cleanse: creamy, has little tiny things that you would find in a exfoliator or acne scrub, irritate skin, doesnt remove make up well so you would have to use a make up remover (which take time and irritate you acne prone skin) , smell sooooo bad , not foamy First time i used it cleared up my pimples within 2 months or less. Then i stopped once i almost finish the bottle cause i hate the irriation and the smell and i though it was too tough on my sensitive 16 y/o skin .
So acne came back gradually but i was using neutrogena acne stress cleanser,toner and lot of different acne treatment gel and cream....so my acne during that time was light but still bothered me a lot ..thats why i came back to this and it CLEARED UP my acne but STILL IRRITATE my skin
SO....i stop using and left half the bottle
i switch to acne.org cleanser,moisturizer and treatment..it kept my skin clear and doesnt irriate it :) (except acne.org treatment make my skin red IF i put too much,but thats my fault i dont follow direction)
now i dont have acne but 1 or 2 tiny little skin color bumps on my cheek
so ya ,,,,you should try acne.org products
that was the best decision i ever made :)
GOOD LUCK :)

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
-Works
-Needs to be used consistently
Cons:
-Redness
-Dry/flaky skin
-Stings
For me, Proactiv actually did work quite well. Before I started using this product, I would have painful cysts on my face, particularly on my cheeks and chin. After use, the cysts disappeared and now I just have red/brown spots.
However, I have many post-acne marks as well as some acne scars due to my previous breakouts and it seems like Proactiv is prolonging the red marks.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Tingly Feeling :)
Cons:
It didn't work for ME :( not sure why though.
Don't take my word for this but it did not work for me. I think it only works on deep pimples and not milia (is that what tiny zits are called?) It didn't work for me. It may work for you.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Acne goes away fast :]
Cons:
I don't really see cons but there is a little of dryness
Some people doesn't read the directions, so they say that their eye lids or eyes are on fire or something;.. You are suppose to avoid the eyes area when applying this product.
This product is good for the people who have acnes :]
December 22, 2009
Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
After about a month of using this product the acne on my forehead cleared up (which is where I normally get really bad breakouts).
It did not dry out my skin.
They also have this product at Costco, so you can get a bigger size than what you would find at WalMart or other stores.
Cons:
The acne along my jawline and cheeks did not clear. Also, the moisturizer comes in a very small container.
It seems to work well on areas that are oily (my forehead) but does not work as well on areas that are not. So if you have oily skin all over, then I would recommend this product. (NOTE: I used the original AcneFree system, not the ones for sensitive skin or severe acne)
Pros:
the best soap to clear up all different kinds of acne. bottle lasts 2 months atleast
