Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Cons:
My acne came back after I stopped using the treatment and used soap only. But that's not the product's fault, now is it? :)
I've been using this for over a year consistently. My acne is so much more controlled while using it. I can definitely tell the difference in my skin after a treatment - it's soft, smooth, and just feels wonderful. You get a big bottle for the price (and the price below includes the shipping cost), along with a free bar of all-natural soap. This natural soap is unlike any I've ever used. Your skin actually gets squeakly clean afterwards. I've even used it in my hair when I've run out of shampoo!
When my sister was pregnant, she developed some red bumps and other discolorations on her face. She tried several products before giving in and using a sample I gave her of this. It worked with just one treatment!
If you have really severe acne (Kenzie), you may need to use a combination product that is prescription only, which includes an anti-bacterial along w/ benzoyl peroxide.
I highly recommend trying this stuff- you'll definitely see an improvement, but you do have to be patie

Pros:
It realy works. After a while I only needed the pills, most of the time.
Cons:
I can't always find the mens version.
Many stores have tons of the female version and are always out of the male version. The stores will have the area on their shelf designated for the men's version full of the female version of Natures Cure. This occurred at least 20 times, at different stores. I think there is a stalking problem. I read the ingredients and the pills are different for men than women. The cream is the same.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Proactiv works for people with mild acne it you have light acne ,them most likey it will work for you . you have to giv it time first it will give you little bumps cause it bringing out all the pimple what would have popped up in time
Cons:
it works but lets just say you move away to a hot climate and you start to produce more oil , it might not work as good as it use
I started using proactiv 3 years ago about my 2nd year into using it . I moved to FL where it is hot , i started to produce more oil than i use to , so proactiv wasnt not working as good as it use to, i had to be put on something strong (like Tazorac ,works GREAT!!!!) then i moved bac to my home town were it gets cold , taz became too strong. So i switched bac to proactv , it started works great agian . Now im clear !!!!, i do have bad breakouts on my forehead every now in then (but i just got of birth control not to long a ago , and if you are on birth control and you get off , your hormones will go sick ) so i have to go bac on it to claim my hormones down .. but overall its a great product , if you have serious acne i think you should not use proactiv it might not work , or you can try the extra strenth formula proactiv (its new ) that might work , if not ask your dermo about tazorac it works wonders !!!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Didn't dry skin as much as some acne treatments, fragrance free...
Cons:
Did not help my acne in the least--may have made it worse
When I started using this product, I had mild acne (5-6 pimples)--I now have 20-30 pimples on my face...my skin looks worse than it ever has in my entire life. This product NEVER helped my acne. It didn't do anything for the first two months or so (skin didn't not get better or worse) but then I started breaking out more than ever. I figured that this was due to the "purging effect" that some treatments have...but my skin has gotten progressively worse since then. After more than 6 months of use, I have to admit that this product does not work for my skin. I stoped using this about 4 days ago and my skin already looks 50% better than it did while using this product.

Product used: Quinoderm ((5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream)
Pros:
Very good at drying up oily spots and oily patches on the skin
Cons:
if you use this too much it may, dry the skin, need to moisturise with something like aqueous cream
Great for drying out spots! a good tip is get aloe vera gel and a few drops of tea tree oil and apply as like face mask and allow it to soak in before you go to bed at night, use a moisturiser if u need to after

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Price, ingredients, amount, and very simple to use.

None that I can think of
This has been my product of choice for the past two years. It is the only product of many I've tried that actually work on my skin. I have very few breakouts using this product and it evens out my skin tone.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
cleared up under the skin acne and a fast way to get rid of overskin/underskin acne.
Cons:
It didn't really prevent zits.... everyday i had more. old ones were gone, but new ones kept popping up.
my acne wasn't that bad, but im a perfectionist. I was determinded to get better than not bad. Proactive really did help me with this goal. the first 3 weeks my acne was basiclly nonexistent.... but then my skin became irritated, dried out and peeling. i had to re-apply lotion at least 8 times a day.... it was awful. after that i cut down on my application, and then all the ance came back. after about a week of suffering through dry skin, blackheads and zits, i gave up and switched to a more promising product. eh. proactive is alright. doesn't work very well for harsh acne though.
