Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Cons:
-it caused my skin to breakout with cystic acne
-dried out my skin completely
even with the moisturizer and jojoba oil throughout the course of the day my skin ends up being really flaky with the BP and it takes too much time to do and wait for everything to dry to apply the moisturizer.. I am sad it didn't work for me - but happy to hear it's working for so many! :D

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
My skin was smoother after about a week.
It also exfoliated my skin.
Cons:
It dried out my skin really bad. I'd put tons of moisturizer on and I'd still have tons of little flakes. It also never really got rid of the acne.
It's done a better job at clearing up the acne than anything else I've used, but my skin has never been this dry before in my life. Before I started using this, I had oily skin. I'd rather deal with oily skin than dry skin. After about a month I stopped using the toner and repairing lotion because those dried my skin out the most. My skin still hasn't completely cleared up.

Pros:
I cannot believe this worked. I never had very bad acne, but I always had little bumps on my forehead that would never go away, and always ONE disgusting zit on my face as well. I bought this as a last resort because I couldn't get into the derm
Cons:
pros cont'd...for a month and I was fed up with never having smooth, clear skin. Within a week, ALL my bumps were gone, and I've been using it for 2 wks and have not broken out once. I just hope it continues to work...
Awesome, awesome, awesome! Great purchase-- surprisingly. I haven't even had to use the cream yet, so I can't speak for that, but the pills are great.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
This product makes your acne visibly better in 1 - 2 days. It doesn't smell like other BP products.
Cons:
Dries out skin, has a sticky feeling on skin.
I love this product. I clears up my skin super fast. The only downside, as stated all over this page, is that it does dry out your skin. BP products have a tendency to do that but as long as you use a moisturizer you'll be fine. I use and olay moisturizer with this.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
nothing. nothing at all.
Cons:
-it dried up my skin so bad that nothing could moisturize it.
-it made my skin oily
-it made my face break out even worse than before
It didnt work for one day, even. i thought my skin would get used to it after two weeks, but it didnt.
i am now repairing my skin.
THIS IS NOT A GOOD PRODUCT, PEOPLE. it's a scam, waste of money.
use what works for you, try different things. you can purchase great products that are very cheap and work amazingly!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
Product cleared up my existing acne amazingly! I have tried most produts on the market, and even ProActiv didn't work for me. This cleared up my skin very quickly.
Cons:
The dryness factor. Of course I expected that with the BP but I really had to use a lot of moisturizers, esp because it is winter and my skin is already dry.
Clears up skin quickly, only downside is drying out of the skin.

January 25, 2009
Pros:
Worked the first night..! Doesnt dry out my face at all. Cleared acne in 3 weeks.
Cons:
Doesnt really have a smell, but its better than a smell you cant stand.
Its great but I'm just a teenager in high school, acne breaks out around my pd, but nothing like it use to..I'm not use there will ever be anything to clear acne around pds. I think thats just something that comes with being a female. This stuff really worked for me!!! 8)~

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
when i got this product i thought that it would work due to the fact of all the stories i say on tv about this product. Yes i must say that this product did work i say the changes on the first day i started to use it.
Cons:
Well yes i did say that it works but only if you keep using the product. i missed one day of using pro-active and i had two large pimples on my face. The product does not get rid of the blemishes and pimples it covers them up
I feel if you wan to use his product by all means but just know if you want healthy skin forever never stop using this product dont miss any days and your skin will look perfect. But if you do hapen to miss a day of using this product you wil regret it
Pros:
cleared up small acne growing on the surface.
