Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Cons:
Extremely drying.
I've been using this product for about a week. Initially, I liked it a lot because it was clearing up some bumps that had been on my face and preventing any new ones from forming. However, my skin has begun to dry out unbelievably. I have the strangest skin ever. One second it's oily and the next it's dry or sometimes it feels really dry but looks really oily/shiny. Everytime I used it, I would follow it with Pond's Dry Skin Cream. I think it's definitely worth a try, you never know what's going to work for you. I think I'm just going to use it once every two or three days and use a much gentler cleanser the rest of the time. Hope it works better for others :)

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Wash)
Pros:
Removes dirt oil form your face painlessly. Makes skin feel smooth
Cons:
Does not remove current acne
This medication is meant to UNCLOG your pores, not to remove acne. It aids in fighting blackheads, and preventing large pustules to be formed. So for all the disclaimers who use this product, it is not meant to cure current acne. It is a preventative medication. I do recommend this product

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
Got rid of pimples right away
Cons:
Very liquidy
I didn't rub this all over my face because its generally clean due to OXY PADS. But I applied just a bit directly on the pimple. I felt an immediate sense that it was working. It cleaned and dried it out and late the next day it was gone (Note I did open the pimple just a tad and squeezed the stuff out and then applied.)

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Results within hours
Huge size
Cons:
None!
The only thing I can say about this product that would be negative was that it dried my skin out the first couple days of using it. But that was because I was so stoked to have it, I slathered it on in generous amounts. User error.
It's cleared up my skin noticeably over the past few days. And I haven't noticed any fabric bleaching on my clothes or sheets which is the result with most BP's. It's a way better deal than Proactiv and I feel better buying from Acne.org anyway. My skin profile: 25 year old female. Hormonal cystic jawline and chin acne. Embarrassing!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
I've been using this product for 8 years and I love it!! Affordable, smells good, and it WORKS!!
Cons:
None.
I had tried Proactiv, Murad, and numerous OTC products and none of them worked on my moderate adult acne until I found this product. I have super sensitive skin and can't use products with salycilic acid (Murad). This product started working for me within the first week (although it does take longer for some people). I've referred numerous people of all ages to this product and it's worked for them as well (so I'm not just a fluke!). I still get a random spot once a month (go figure), but I no longer have acne. I can't say enough about this product, it has saved my skin! Plus, it's affordable...a bottle usually lasts me 3 to 4 months. And it smells nice too!! Give it a shot...it works!!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
works really well to get rid of acne
Cons:
dries suuuuuuuuuuper slowww
this review is from the pump bottle version 8oz that i purchased. It lasted me about 8months wow. i just finished the bottle and i ordered another 8oz in the squeeze bottle. this product works great. i had a major breakout episode last winter after christmas on my cheeks it was pimples that would leave marks after and took forever to heal and this cleared it up with daily use. i apply this to my face after cleansing with clean and clear advantage cleanser with benzoyl peroxide. then i leave it on overnight while i sleep. i make sure to moisturize the areas that i didnt apply the gel in. this product is amazing it works so well i dont know what i would do without it. it will forever be my best friend.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
leaves face really clean, clears up acne FAST!, awesome price, all-in-all good product
Cons:
a little bit of dry skin.. just use a good moisterizer & youre good!! other than that i love this productt!!
I love this, it's a life saver!! I was using Proactiv, it was alright but wasn't getting rid of all of my acne...and it was expensive on my tight budgett~~ So I decided to buy this and after just ONE day of using it twice my face was SOOOOO much better~! Most of my pimples had dried up, and the ones that were there were so much smaller!!! So I've been using it for a month now and I barely have any pimples left! The occasional 1 or 2, but my skin is so smooth and clean.I would reccomend using a good oil-free moisterizer after washing you face with this.. it can dry it out a bit. ( I use the Clean & Clear dual action moisterizer) Again, I love this & wouldn't live without it. :) I feel so much more confident!!!!

October 29, 2009
Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I stopped using birthcontrol (hormones went crazy) and I began to have terrible breakouts that left dark scars. Everyday a new red pimples appeared all of over my face. Started using PROACTIVE and my skin began to clear up within days.
Cons:
Burning sensation while applying toner/lotion. Skin is clearing but extremely dry.
The product works great, I can over look the burning sensation since the pimples are gone. Maybe this will pass once my skin adjust or finds a balance while using this product.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Wash)
Pros:
Cool Refreshing feeling. Smells good.
Cons:
Results aren't THAT great..
I believe this product should be used on light acne.. but you probably be better off with something else.
Pros:
Fairly effective, but no a miracle cure.
