Product used: La Roche-Posay (Effaclar Duo)
Confused - everything turned red!
I used this for a night as per my Doc's recommendation and it seems to have turned all my pimples deep red. Having read all the positive reviews, I decided to persevere and continue using for another night - now they've turned slight brown. Should i continue using the product?

Product used: Proactiv Solution (X Out)
i would give negative stars if possible
This Definitely x outs YOUR MONEY! And they keep charging your credit card and keep resending it! Super overpriced as well! Going back to neutrogena & clean and clear routine. Not only cheaper but more effective. Although it says 3 in 1face wash Id honestly rather use 10 products than this junk. I'm not one for a lot of acne... Just a few big ones that's it. But this made them bigger, redder and more of them! makeup couldn't even cover!! I followed the instructions, wash twice a day keep on for 2 minutes but it made them worse. When it says results may vary they mean "it's probably not going to work on you but try it so we can charge your credit card for more." My best recommendation (not a dermatologist!) is clean and clear foaming wash and neutrogena oil free wash. Also cetaphil daily cleanser works. All three of them together get you perfect skin in no time! If you really do want to try this: DO NOT BUY IT FROM THE X OUT WEBSITE!! And for all wondering I have combination skin

Customer Service
I honestly have no review about the product because I did not get to use it. I am here to write a review about the customer service... and it simply sucks. First I called the number and basically I kept talking to the computer for 10 minutes and then it send me to talk to someone....but no one answered. When someone finally answered, they had no clue what I was talking about. I ordered the x out on a gift card and the lady kept telling me that i cant use a visa gift card. I have used it before for proactiv and the lady could care less about what i had to say. So basically I ordered it on june 30th and the company bothered not to tell me that the card number I used didnt work. The company did not even care to send me an email that the card was wrong and I have been waiting for the product for over two weeks. Honestly I have never written a review before for anything but receiving such a bad experience forced me to write one.

Product used: The Regimen
Pros:
Clears Skin
Cons:
Takes a while to work
Difficult initial outbreak/redness/drying because of the BP
After using this product for two months, I am a believer. It has cleared the horrific breakout I had after a miscarriage which prompted me to try it in the first place-- I had originally suffered from "mild" acne since I was 13. I thought nothing could fix my skin after the hormone shift I recently went through- it felt like every single pore was working to destroy itself. After eight weeks of diligent use, I am at the point of just clearing up scars from my horrible acne that previously existed. I do get one to two small whiteheads a week that I simply need to spot treat and get rid of, but no big ones and no blackheads etc. Before starting Dan's regimen, I got off all other retinoids and harsh cleaners and cleaned my face out with a few sulfur masks. After cleaning only with Purpose' gentle cleanser for about a week and avoiding all other acne products, I then started the BP regimen. This seemed to work in my favor because the redness and flaking were minimal and I have uber sensitive skin.The first few weeks will feel horrible from the BP, and I also had a bad initial breakout, but if you stick with it you'll be cleared up in no time. I can finally feel comfortable walking out of the house with no makeup for the first time in almost fifteen YEARS! It works. Period.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Works great, super customer service, easy to use. The Clear and Smooth gives skin a nice clean feeling and a good glow. The soap works great and is a good supplement to the cleanser!
Cons:
none.
I have been a customer for years and am very happy with the soap and the Clear and Smooth Acne Treatment. They have specials from time to time, so I listed the "price paid" as an average for a month of cleanser + soap + shipping on my last order.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
It really works -- for the long term.
Cons:
None of importance. It really does help to use a freshly washed washcloth each time you use it, so buy a dozen cheap, white ones (the BP does bleach colours out) for $5.
While I understand that not every product works for everyone, I notice that all the negative reviews of this product sound suspiciously similar to all the other negative reviews, and most of them claim the positive reviews are phony. Hmmm. Carley's stuff is all guaranteed, so if it doesn't work, send it back and get your money back. My skin DID get a bit worse before getting better, but now I will never stop using Carley's. The positive reviews do not all sound the same. So make your own mind up. I've been using Carley's -- and only Carley's -- for 4 - 5 years now. It's the best thing I've ever used on my face. I had horrible acne for 30 years, and now I get frequently get compliments on my skin. My skin used to HURT it was so bad, now it feels soft and smooth does not hurt, and has no pimples or bumps -- or wrinkles, but that might not be due to Carley's as much as to avoiding sunlight most of my life. I will say that Carley's asked us to come here and give reviews, but they didn't tell us what to write. They're a good company, not phony, have great customer service, and seem to really care about their customers and products.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
clears your skin after using it for 2 weeks. your won't be oily again if you use it and it will tighten your skin. I t will also help prevent blackheads.
Cons:
dries your skin, redness and flaking!
I've been searching for the most effective product andi foung out in a pharmaceutical book that the the dermatoloists recomment this product. I bought it in a drug store and the price was quite reasonable. The first time i use it after a couple of hours it will tighten your skin! I used it every morning and before going to bed! I guaranteed that panoxyl will help you to wash away those acne! buy it!

I HATE THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE SOOOOO BAD
I called them to cancel my products, they told me that my products will be cancelled within 3 days and that I have nothing to worry about. They said they'll send me a confirmation in email that it'll be cancelled. 3 days later, the email said the purchase went through and the product is sent. I tried calling them for the last couple of days and still "TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES". Their customer service is real bad. I hate them soooo much.
Pros:
glides easily, drys fast, not white marks.
