Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Cons:
the whole three steps thing is annoying
I have been using neutregena for like 2 years and it has done absolutely nothing for my skin. Then i tried proactive, and that just ate my skin away and it was expensive. I went back to neutregena just because thats what i had at my house. Wanting to try a new face wash i see the acnefree stuff on tv, thought it was a good buy Went and bought it at target ive been using it for 3 days and my face looks sooooooooooooooooo good. It doesnt dry out my skin like proactive did

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
It worked awesome and got rid of all of my acne pretty quickly, within a month. Didn't dry my skin. Used it twice a day.
Cons:
If you accidentally stop using it for a day, your acne will come back immediately. At least mine did, and then I couldn't get it to go away as easy.
It's good, but you need to use it all the time.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It cleared all of my acne and blemishes and kept it away!
Cons:
The company continued to charge my credit card without sending me the product for two months.
I would definately reccomend trying this product, but be sure to stay on top of your bills and what they charge you!

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
it is a really good product i started using it and my face was red and dried up and then i was going to quit but i used it for 1 more week and it started clearing up my acne and my face got used to the product your face.
Cons:
just that it dries your face a little need to use an oil free moisturizer
it is a great product if you get acne when you start using it it is normal is just that the product is making the bacteria come out to kill it thats normal in the first few weeks. great product i think better than proactiv

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Makes my skin feel soft and smooth, Less Breakouts, Reduced Pore size.
Cons:
Still get a few pimples, but Hey, I'm a hormonal teenager, and those that I do get aren't as Large and Firey as before. Sometimes I run out of the Toner before my next shipment is due.
I was given Proactiv a few months ago, I'm Currently in a Theatre Production and the producers wanted me to get better skin. (This does mean they currently pay the bill, but I will be continuing after that finishes) My Acne wasn't terrible. I did however have alot of blackheads on and around my nose, very oily skin and I almost constantly had a large pimple under the skin of my Nose or Chin. Since using the product my skin has become less Oily, and softer, I no longer have and blackheads on my nose and I dont get as many large pimples.
I do however still get pimples under my skin, but these only last 3 days at the most, dont break the surface of my skin and are almost colorless. It also Bleaches my skin and towels, meaning I no longer have freckles (not complaining!!)
Proactiv works for me, It isn't a Miracle cure but it does make my skin Look and Feel better. I will continue using this product.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Some of it smelled nice
Cons:
Proactiv fails to inform you of the subscription plan that automatically enrolls you and charges you $20 a month, simply does not work for anything more than very light acne
When I first bought proactive, it came with a face wash, some sort of blue astringent, and the BP lotion. The face wash smelled nice. That was about it. Had some exfoliating beads that felt like they were ripping my face apart. For me, the astringent roughly had the same effects as some cold water. Only is stung and wreaked of alcohol. The lotion was like glue that stuck to my face. I have to lend it to Proactiv though, the product inspired me to stop buying these sort of products and turn to a dermatologist. The ONLY reason Proactiv has over 10 million customers is because it is marketed so well and so much, NOT because it works well. 6 months of Accutane cleared me right up. Now I use a Neutrogena face wash twice a day that does dry out my face a little...but that's what these things are meant to do. If you're like me and are desperately searching for a solution, don't reach for Proactiv. It will fail you. See a dermatologist.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Green Tea Moisturiser is pretty nice
Cons:
Did not make my skin any better. In fact my skin cleared up after i stoped using it.
In the comercials they make the bottles look normal size. When I opened the practive box, I was kind of shocked to find 1 and 2 oz bottles... not what I was expecting.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Worked well for me. Easy to apply, blends into skin well & absorbs quickly. No fragrance to speak of which is very important to me as I am very sensitive to smells. Great value for the money.
Cons:
I wish they would go back to the tube container. I travel a lot and the pump bottle does not travel well.
Prior to finding the Acne.org BP product I spent a LOT more $$ on BP products that were smaller, harsher on my skin and often didn't completely absorb. I would highly recommend this BP product over any other.

Pros:
it smells nice
Cons:
everything else
I used Proactiv as a teen which cleared my face, smelled great, and made my skin look great. I am now in my twenties and pregnant, which has caused that acne to come back. I used this product because it advertised to work faster than Proactiv, and my face was in such discomfort I went ahead and tried it so I wouldn't have to wait for the Proactiv to be shipped. Well, I have now ordered Proactiv and will wait as long as it takes because this stuff dried my face so horribly I was in straight agony. It caused burns all over my face which felt like a horrible sunburn. My face was bright red and peeling. On top of that, it made my breakouts worse -- pimples were popping up underneath ones that were not healing -- very painful. DO NOT buy this product if you have normal skin like mine, or dry skin. I hear it works ok if you have oily skin, but you will definitely need a stronger moisturizer than the one it comes with.
Pros:
clears up skin soooo fast! I have orientation in 2 days and im taking an ID pic lol im so glad i bought this.
my dark scars are even going away
