Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Cons:
Takes FOREVER to rub in. Also, it "pills" up into little balls once I put on the moisturizer.
I love this product! It may have its cons, but they aren't worth going back to acne. Before The Regimen, I was developing 3-4 new pustules or cystic acne every day, even though I was using ProActiv (2 1/2 years)and then Acne Free (a few months). In the last month that I've been using The Regimen, I've only developed a few new ones, and that was mainly because I neglected to wash my face one night. The ones that did come up were gone within 2 days. It seems a little pricey, but I was spending AT LEAST $40 every month on ProActiv, and this product lasts 2 months for less than that, so it really is a bargain. I am EXTREMELY pleased with this product, and will continue to use it.

Product used: Triaz (Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser)
Pros:
6% got rid of my acne, skin look great with combination of other perscribed meds
Cons:
SUPER expensive, generic version doesn't work... my skin has developed immunity to Triaz and acne is back
Worth it, but NOT in generic form! Also not good after 1+ year of using it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I DONT KNOW WHAT U GUYS R TALKING ABOUT!I LOOOOOOOVE proactiv! i didnt dry out my skin, and cleared most of my acne within 2 weeks.
and i adore the refining mask =D
Cons:
the smell is a little strong, but definately worth it =D. and acne increases slightly initially, but clears up fast after that.
i hav moderately severe acne, having anywhere from 10 to 30 pimples on my face @ any 1 time, so while i still hav a few pimples left, its a HUGE IMPROVEMENT from what i looked like before! no joke, while it sounds like it doesnt work 4 everybody, it definately worked 4 me, and u should giv it a try.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
it worked well when it actually worked
Cons:
too high-maintenance and time-consuming, way too expensive for the quality of the product
i used this regimen for about 2 years. it took about a month to see any results and then i was relatively clear for a while. after about a year and a half it just stopped working and i got annoyed. who wants to pay that much when it no longer works?

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Gets rid of most acne and redness, skin looks even and has a smoother texture.
Cons:
Left my face very dry for the first few weeks, the bottles break easily. You have to avoid sunlight/ultraviolet exposure & therefore must also use a sunscreen.
Proactiv has worked well for me, although I can only use it once a day because it really dries out my face because of this I have to use a moisturiser after the repairing lotion. You may need to adjust the amount you use, and build up your usage slowly to avoid peeling/redness.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
It works. Period.
Cons:
Dries your skin.
I can't believe I spent years buying ProActive...this is a fraction of the cost and it works so much better.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Actually does the job. The most effective acne medication you will find.
If your really interested in ridding your acne keep reading.
Cons:
Benzoyl Peroxide bleaches fabrics. (But what do you care more about your clear complexion or your pillow-case?)
Your skin may turn reddish, become dry, and/or itchy. Use a GOOD moisturizer and use it properly.
You just looked in the mirror and saw that your acne is breaking out again and you can't figure why or out how to stop it. YOU'VE TRIED EVERYTHING... washing your face, not washing, drying, sunbathing, creams, masks, diets, pills, you even stopped thinking dirty thoughts at church thinking your acne was a punishment from God. Frustrated you ran to your computer and searched the internet for an answer. You were tech savvy enough to type "ACNE" into google and find this site. Now your here reading this review wondering if you should spend a few dollars on this product. I was you, and let me say that after 10 years of EVERY sort of acne medication this is the most effective with the least amount of side effects. The most important thing is to read the regimen on this site and FOLLOW IT TO THE VERY LAST DETAIL. Write it down and follow it EVERYDAY. Do this and your acne will clear up.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
This seems to be doing the trick...and quite quickly
Cons:
My face is a bit dry but I am hopeful that will calm down by next week.
My acne began 4 years ago, I am 33 years old, and had never before had problems with my skin. My doctor said I had Rosacea and prescribed antibiotics, topical creams and cleansers. Combined they made me sick and my skin itchy and very dry. I took myself off of all those products after 2 years and have tried to manage this terrible skin on my own. I was getting fed up and depressed so I took the plunge and purchased this product. I have only been using it for 2 ½ days and already can see and feel a difference!!! The existing acne is healing, the bumps under the skin are gone and my face feels smooth! The redness is calming and other than the little bit of dryness, I seem to have no side effects ' My face doesn't even itch. I can't believe it''.Thank you!
