Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
breakthrough breakouts(can't be helped)
The product works, for some people. For others you just have to try other things,everyone's skin is different. It works,however, nothing is perfect. Did you know if you are in the club and you get just the basic 3 pc system it's just 19.95 a month plus 5.95 s&h, not bad. There really are alot of people it has helped, I hear from them everyday. It's worth a try, you do have a 60 day money back guarantee.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
took away my white heads
Cons:
gave me a rash all over my face
i just had an allergic reaction but if you aren't sensative it's probably good because i haven't had a pimple since i started using it.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
affordable, compact, and WORKS!!
Cons:
dryness and itchiness
I've used AcneFree for only two days and have seen results! I'm excited since I've been trying different acen products since November 2006 when my acne started getting worse. My friend recommended it to me and it's a great product for lots of skin types. I really like this product and hope it brings me to clear skin soon. Try AcneFree, it's worth your twenty bucks.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
I had to stop after 1 week. My face literally hurt everytime I used it. It felt too harsh, and my acne became inflamed and my skin was red.
Not for sensitive skin.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Works way beyond any acne medication hands down! That comes from someone who has used Retin-A and Accutane.
Cons:
Dries your skin a bit...but it is to be expected like all acne meds.
I went through my teenage years and early to mid 20's dealing with cystic acne and constant breakouts. Once I found the Regimen cream online I took the risk of ordering and trying it out. It was the best decision I could have made. After using it for 4 YEARS now, I can say with great comfort that it is the best product there is for acne. My breakouts are non-existent, every once in a while I will have one or two small ones...but I assure you nothing compared to what I use to go through. My regimen is very basic, I put a thin film on every time I get out of the shower 2x a day. If my skin starts getting dry I use it only once a day. I purchase 5 tubes at a time and it last me 6-7 months. Don't hesitate to try this product out.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
im in modelling so having acne was horrible. i have had acne continiously since i was 12 and finally, at 19, my skin feels amazingly smooth and clean. i felt the difference in the first week i used it. (only one or two pimples occasionally now)
Cons:
about 10 days after i started using it my skin got VERY dry and red(ive always had oily skin too so it was weird) so massage moiturizer in (dont be stingy) after the lotion (i use udder cream with the cow bottle) and you're good to go.
if you use the 3 step system as well as the refining mask, daily oil control and spot treatment you will see improvement within the first 3-4 days depending on your skin type. mine is very sesitive but i was determined to get rid of the damn burden once and for all so i put in alot of time and energy into using it as recommended.
(the price is worth it if it works people!)
!!MOISTURIZE BEFORE PUTTING ON MAKE-UP!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It seems to work if I keep using it. I cleanse and use repairing lotion.
Cons:
Very expensive and it's a pain in the neck to have to buy products I don't use like the cleanser and toner. I ended up with 12 toners and 11 cleansers!! I just want the repairing lotion! Bleaches my shirts! The mall is twice as expensive.
It works if you use two times a day for at least a week. Nice smelling. Expensive and unable to purchase repairing lotion only!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
This stuff works so perfect with my skin, I must've gotten lucky.
Cons:
None!
At age 15, I was desperate to clear up my skin. I went to dermatologist after dermatologist, and tried every product out there. I started Carley's, and my skin was so smooth after a month I no longer had to wear makeup. I'm 20 now, and stopped using the product a few months ago, figuring that the main reason my skin had cleared was due to the fact that my puberty years are over. My skin broke out like I was 15 again. I am so thankful for Carley's.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
Trust me, it works --- under certain conditions
Cons:
It may dry your face too much upon applying
It works. My face was apprently used to all the benzyl peroxide, so I upped the percent by using OXY --- this stuff is 10%. If your face is not at all used to taking bezyl peroxide which is stronger than salicylic acid, I recommend you start with something low. Also you have to consistently make sure that your face gets all the moisture that it needs. It is true that bezyl peroxide dries your face. Even though you may suffer from having oily skin, you need to keep your face happy --- moisture and pH level happy.

Pros:
Works well to clear acne, for the first month or so. I used it for 4 months and it really cleared me up.
Cons:
After the first or second month, it gets way too harsh on the skin. My skin started to look like a tape thats been cut up (If you can picture that) EXTREMELY DRY SKIN.
If you're in an emergency situation, or want to try it for the first month, I'd say go for it, because it works. Although, I'd definitely take moist and lively skin with a few blemishes than a clear dried up face.
Pros:
It worked
