Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
- Cleared Pimples early
- Face feels good once it is used to it
- After a very long breakout after about 3 months my skin is almost blemish free
Cons:
- Dried out skin while I was getting used to it
- Expensive for a youth (me)
- Has a slight odour
For me, it works just as advertised, but as I see not for others.
After a year I don't need to use it regularly because the proactiv helped control the oil on my face. I think ProActiv is a great product.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
IT WORKS! Its simple to apply - providing you follow the instructions which are really easy, its just the best treatment I have ever used!!
Cons:
Only one I can think of, if you don't wash it off well (as the instructions state) then it can stain your towels - but the instructions tell you this too so I can't really complain!!!!
It Works, I know I've said it before but after 20+ years with acne, finding something that does what it says is brilliant. I don't get through a lot of it as I only use it every other day as my skin is so good now I make it last. The soap that goes with the acne lotion has to be my favourite product, it makes your skin feel soft and supple and you'll notice the difference between using that and any other sort of face wash. The moisturiser is so light but effective that I use it every day morning and night. Clear and smooth has changed my life, I feel confident about myself and rarely have break-outs. Its really the best thing and I would highly recommend it, it took my about 4 months before it was noticably working so stick with it!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
In the first couple of weeks, it clears skin up great!
Cons:
leaves skin feeling itchy, dry and tight. Takes too long to go through the process, and the product is not worth the price.
When I first started, I had very mild acne, but a few bumps here and there underneath my skin. I tried the product and swore by it for the first few months (2-3 months). Currently I started noticing that I am getting big blotches all over my face that never used to pop up when I used cheap brands. It's still nothing that makeup can't hide, but it is safe to say that it works in the beginning, but then stops working. Please take into consideration the stress levels that are in your life when the product stops working...(for those that have similar stories to mine). I am going to keep using it until my stress level is down a bit, and if it continues to not work, I will switch. Hope this helps anyone!

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
Clears skin fast, affordable
Cons:
Must be consistently used
I used ProActiv for 5 months. It cleared my skin sometimes, but I usually ended up breaking out pretty bad. I decided to try OXY as an alternative, and woke up to clean, clear and oil free skin. I don't have to wear concealer anymore. My friends compliment my skin everyday. A+++ If you want to feel good about your face, BUY THIS!! You won't ever have to worry about what your skin looks like in florescent lighting, ever again. :-) If you use the face wash, I'd recommend the OXY PADS and OXY ON THE SPOT TREATMENT too.

Product used: Clearogen (3 Step Acne Treatment)
Pros:
Works beautifully on mild-moderate acne. (cystic acne too) I saw results almost immediately and have had one small pimple in the past three months of using this product. Cleanser has a light, agreeable scent.
Cons:
No sun screen, and the the scent of the lotion isn't to my liking. A bit drying if used too close to eye area.
This is an excellent product and highly recommend it!
