Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
UV moisturizer gives skin a nice "glow"
Cons:
caused many more large red pimples!! I didnt have bad acne before, yet i seeked the "perfect" skin. A couple weeks after I started I noticed these large painful blemishes, along with very dry skin!
If you dont have many pimples to begin with, i do not suggest using this product, or any other costly skin product.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Excellent staying power, nice consistency, keeps face clear
I love it. I can wear it so thick at night and it dries to make my face feel nice and like it's working hard on the zits. I tried BP for awhile and cleared up but then it stopped working because I didn't use enought. I thought I could go all natural but that was a disaster, and I broke out SO bad. i think you need to use some harsher methods to get clear skin, sorry. Natural products slowly made my face go from bad to WORSE. They tout that going natural will clear your face up, but I think you really need something to kill the bacteria. My face is clear and I feel so much better about myself. i will continue to use this until there is a cure. Having acne is something that someone who has never experienced it will never know what it feels like to feel ugly every time you glance in a mirror (glance because yeah I would never look full on into a MIRROR before!) now I feel fine about that. Get this if you want a clear face, I really think it will work. I have tried everything else.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Absolutely none.
Cons:
Too expensive and makes your skin worse. Smelled horrible. Dried skin out instead of "refreshing" it. Enhanced redness.
This product just flat out sucked. I used it as directed religiously and it only made my skin more dry. Then I used it every other day, and my skin seemed to clear up a little, and then it would just break out again.. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IF IT WAS THE LAST ONE ON EARTH!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
DOnt Like It
Cons:
First I had mild Acne,then I ordered the product.
The first tie I used it , my skin looked clear no breakouts for a month, then a year passed by the product was finnished *used 2* I stopped using it 4 a while then suddenly acne all over my face then I began to go to a dermatologist so I would be guided. She said that she also used pro activ and had bad results 2 so she offered me a good medication that cleared my skin. REMEMBER: If one product works 4 a person doesn't mean it works for everyone.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
I have been using Proactiv since 2003. It is a good product. You have to use system as what they say in order for it to work properlyAcne is a chronic problem. It will come and go. You will have breakdown every now and then. So, don't expect for miracle. I have acne since I was 10 and 25 years later I still get it. But Proctiv helps in

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
affordable, works well

very drying to the skin
This product is affordable and works well. However, I only use it when my skin gets really bad because it is very drying and can make your cheeks look sunburned.
Pros:
The best thing ever!!!!!!! the refining mask is a MIRCALE WORKER..it takes away all my zits after i use it!!!
