Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Cons:
Now people usually put pricey in this slot but I'm not gonna say so, I have tried other things through dermatologists and a facialist and they gave me Raya products and Repechage products which are very very pricey and hard to get ahold of, but this is a very reasonably priced product especially for the amazing outcome.
Like I said it does dry out skin, but i used the moisture surge in place of the acne solution moisturizer every other day. Which helps tremendously!
I HIGHLY recommend this product, I am almost 20 years of age and I graduated from Cosmetology School and am waiting to take my State Board to start in a Salon, and I wanted my face to be clear for my interview..and it is most definitely getting there! :) I know the price I paid was high but I went all out and got the amazing Face Mask, Acne Solutions Spot Gel, as well as the Acne Solutions Foundation.
I also recommend the Acne Solutions Foundation also, it also helps with acne BIG time, and it is VERYY important to be careful what foundation you use, it can alter you regiment, you can be using the best product in the world (which is this one!:)) but be applying a foundation that puts back all the bacteria and junk gunk and funk that you're trying to get rid of. Your skin is very very VERY important and you only get to take care of it once, so take great care of it! :) GoodLuck!:) Hope this helped!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
cant think of any
Cons:
smelly, redness, alot of steps, pricey
uses bad ingredients such as fragrance, starch, & much more i bet.
didnt really help me at all.
& i hate how many advertisments are on tv its so annyoing.
im suprised it says it helps acne when there are bad ingredients in it, if all the bad ingredients were gone i would use it.
& the face cleanser feels like i always have to use more cause it feels like theres none on my face when i put it on.
im going to try ProNexin now : )

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Leaves skin feeling soft and clean directly after use.
Cons:
Expensive and works for very few skin types. Time consuming. I used it, religiously, for about a month and a half, and I did not see any improvement.
It may work for those with the acne problem it is designed for, but it's not for everyone.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Goes on easy and clear
No white residue
Does not sting too much
Gentle
Big bottle for the price
It works!
Cons:
Takes a while to dry if used in recommended amounts
I have been using it for about a week now and it works well so far. It is definitely most gentle BP treatment I have ever used. I have been on Dan's regimen for 3 weeks and while first week was rough (I was about to quit), it looks like my skin has adjusted. I have not had any new acne in a week (knocking on wood.)

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
- Very light
- Doesn't smell bad like other BP brands
- Goes on smoothly
- It prevents break outs
Cons:
- Doesn't remove pimples quickly (dries them out only)
- Leaves red marks
- Takes a long time to work effectively
This is a great product, the key is PATIENCE, PATIENCE, and yes more PATIENCE. Give it time and it will work for most people. Follow Dan's instructions by spreading gently and 2 full pumps after using the regimen for awhile and you will be clear eventually. One big downfall is it leaves existing acne and turns them into red marks.

Pros:
This is the only system that has ever truly worked on my skin... and I have tried EVERYthing!
Cons:
None
I've struggled with acne my whole life. It is such a relief to finally find a product system that I can trust. It's awesome to be able to just wear a little foundation to even out my skin tone, rather than a ton of foundation to try to cover up pimples.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Reduces appearance of pores
Smooths and softens skin
Cleared acne
Cons:
Extremely drying - at first
Somewhat costly
The day I turned 28, I developed moderate-severe acne seemingly out of nowhere. Prior to this, birth control pills, cetaphil soap and cetaphil moisturizer had kept my skin almost completely clear (maybe one or two pimples right before my period). Suffice it to say, I was horrified when I started to wake up every morning with 3-4 new pimples. When I went home to visit family for Thanksgiving, I started to use my Mom's Proactive and ordered some for myself. After three days of using it generously day and night, my face looked like it had first degree burns. It was bright red, inflamed, dry/flaky, and STILL broken out. It hurt so bad that I stopped using it all together for a week and then resumed using it once a day when my face had settled down, and after another week increased to twice a day. Although, it no longer hurt, my face was still red and a bit dry for the first couple weeks, but I applied cetaphil moisturizer after the 3-step system and continued using it. I kept at it for a few more weeks, but continued to break out. Around week 5, it even looked like my breakouts were actually getting worse. I was losing hope, but had read on the website that it takes some people 6-8 weeks to see a difference. Sure enough, the first day of the 6th week, I woke up for the first time without any new pimples. By the end of the week, everything started to clear up and now I am in my 7th week and completely pimple free. So, while I have to agree with all the other reviewers that said Proactive left their skin irritated, inflamed, and still broken out, I have to argue that perhaps they simply need to ease into the system a bit more and exercise patience. That said, the system is not going to work for everyone, but if you are going to give it a go, really give it the full 6-8 weeks to work. Best of luck everyone!

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Controls acne and you can feel it working. Also, soaks up the oil in my skin which I had trouble with my whole life.
Cons:
Doesn't take away scars and can dry skin up fast.
This is a pretty good products, but there are better ones. I f you have mild acne it is likely to work better on you. But if you have severe acne it is not recommended to you. You must see a dermatologist first and get what the prescribe you to. If it turns mild after that and your tired of going to the dermatolgist and pay alot of money, I recommend you use it. Please remember to use it for at least a month to show results before you quit. I happed to learn my lesson about quitting face products too soon.
Pros:
Acne disappears right before your eyes (not literally but y'all know what i mean),
very easy regiment,
not so harsh that it hurts or burns sensitive skin,
helps reduce oily skin, tho it does dry out your skin but thats what its supposed to do!:),
leaves skin feeling smooth and soft,
and it is just amazing!
