Pros:
It makes my skin feel good..

And I've been using it for about a month now; I have more acne than I used to; Is that just because it's STILL bringing it all out? Or should I just stop using?

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
This product is one of the best on the market. I have used others and found that they did not give good results. I have been using clear&smooth for over a year and have got great results and I'm very pleased with the outcome.
I would recommend this to anyone with a skin problem and especially to younger adults and teenagers who have acne and are having problems solving the dilema. Even adults that had acne before when they were young and have scaring now; should try this product which will help decrease the scaring and will feel and see a difference in their appearance. This is an awesome product and at very reasonable price.

Pros:
It makes your face feel fresh after first using it.
Cons:
The day after using it my face got acne in places I've never had any problems with and my skin got really dried out about 15 minutes after using it.
I used the product for about a month and my face did not improve at all. I use to have light acne, but after using it for a month I'd say my acne is now moderate. I have decided to discontinue the use of the product and have began using the Clean&Clear system which has already lessened the number of bumps on my face after a few days of using it. Therefore I will NEVER use Nuetrogena Advanced Solutions ever again.

Product used: Quinoderm ((5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream)
Pros:
Completely clears spots up, and reduces blackheads resulting in smooth skin.
Cons:
Burns skin and is very drying
I really only suffer with spots on my chin, and had been on dianette which cleared them up. After 6 months I couldnt cope with the weight gain and so came off dianette, after which my spots returned. I bought quinoderm after researching suitable regime products available in the U.K. Even though my spots are only on my chin I applied to my whole face, and after only a few days was stunned with the immediate reduction in spots on my chin, and the blackhead infested skin on my nose was clear and smooth, (something I never thought Id see!) However my skin was horribly dry, uncomfortable and flaky, so Ive switched to using it only at night time with a very thick moisturiser. As my acne was only light this has had no negative effect so far. Very impressed that such a cheap, side effect free treatment works!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
These products are awesome! For what they cost, they work better than stuff that I've paid 10x's more for. The moisturizer is amazing. My skin just drinks it up. I just noticed that they now have an anti-aging line and placed an order ASAP
Cons:
I now know but didn't at the time, since these products are so "natural", if you don't put them in the fridge, they don't go bad but they get liquidy.
Whenever I use it regularly, you can instantly tell the difference in my skin. I'm 44, lost my job and went back to school about a year ago, so I tend to get stress breakouts and this stuff works wonders. Plus it last forever!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
I love the ease of use of this product! I keep it in the shower, along with an extra bar of the soap at the sink. No fuss, no muss! It works quite well. Clean smell, all natural, what more could I ask for?!
Cons:
I do still experience the occassional breakout but that seems to be at times that I don't follow the directions to a T.
I will be a repeat customer for life! My daughter is ten and I have her using the natural soap twice a day now. I hope that preventative measures will keep her from the scarring that I now have from years of acne that ran unchecked.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Clear skin in just about a week, no burning or itching. No skin peeling. It worked great for me.
Cons:
You have to use it everyday or say goodbye to clear skin.
Buy this product. It is cheap and works better than proactive.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
'light' natural feeling, skn feels incredibly smooth and soft
i have been using Proactiv for about two years and although my skin was never completely clear it looked okay, I got fed up and bought Clinique Acne Solutions after reading good reviews and i am so glad that i did. I've only been using it for about a week and my face is completely free of 'alive' pimples, i had at least 20 on my jawline, i still have acne scars but I'm using the Clinique after treatment spot remover which is making the marks fade. Make sure that you are using the three step system twice a day and that you don't skip one of the steps (especially the moisturizer) because that is the only one of the three bottles that has benzol peroxide in it and that is what is really drying up the pimples/preventing new ones from forming. But don't use too much, a very thin layer works wonders, i use a drop about the size of a penny. A little goes a long way, just coat a thin layer over your entire face.
Pros:
It cleared up my acne right away and shrank some too.
