Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
THIS COMPANY IS A RIP OFF....NOT ONLY DOES IT MAKE YOUR SKIN VERY DRY BUT, YOU CAN GET THEM TO CANCEL YOUR ORDER PORMPTLY.....
I called the customer service several times to get my order cancelled. When I finally did reach someone they assured me that they would cancel my order. When I get my September statement it showed another payment for Proactiv. I got some run around about that being the July payment. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.......

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Got rid of the bumps on my forehead
Cleared up my acne: cystic and small
Cons:
Caused flakiness and dryness, but not NEARLY as much as the prescription stuff and this subsided after approximately 4 weeks on the products
This is SO worth the money. I am 37 and for the first time since before puberty I am ACNE FREE!!!! I have tried EVERYTHING out there (antibiotics, murad, proactiv, mario badescu, antibiotics, antibiotic creams, benzoyl peroxide) and NONE of it worked until I started on the 3 step acne.org regimen. I could not be more thrilled with the results!

- Doesn't clog pores

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel)
Pros:
Within days my acne started to clear!
Very inexpensive
Easy to buy online
Cons:
Slightly dry and peely skin (no problem with moisturiser)
Will stain clothes and fabrics!
I am so glad to have found this product. When I first started using it my acne started to clear and now - a couple months later - I finally feel confident with my skin!
The downside is that it will stain clothes. I ruined a good shirt with it before. But I would happily ruin 1000 more shirts so long as I don't have acne. Haha

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Gets rid of most acne if used twice a day.
Cons:
*Leaves skin flaky and dry
*Smells bad
*If you miss a night/morning pimples come back 10x worse
*Doesn't get rid of black heads or white heads
*If used with another product proactive may react and give you more pimples.
Proactive does not work, I'm a 14 year old teenage girl and I have a fair amount of acne. It worked for the first 2 weeks but then I noticed my white heads and black heads were getting worse. I missed one night from studying and the next morning my forehead was a bumpy mess! I had blemishes on my cheeks and it was just terrible. If you use proactive for a long time and then switch to another cleanser your acne will intensify. Proactive is definitely not what the commercials say it is.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Renewing Cleanser)
Pros:
none
Cons:
Smells, leaves a residue on my skin not matter how long I wash it. If I use it in the shower it bleaches my towels. Didn't clear up acne at all!
I hate it!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
easy to use
NO funky chemicals
all natural
free samples
IT WORKS!!!
Cons:
kinda smells like grandma's medicine cabinet
I had fairly clear skin as a teenager, but when I hit my mid-twenties my face erupted. I'm not talking little white heads, I mean dime-size, agonizing, cystic acne that took weeks to heal. It's left me with scars that continue to form blackheads. Not pretty at all, turning 30 on top of it all was downright depressing! I tried everything OTC and prescription. If it didn't make the acne worse, it dried out my face, making me look older.
I found Carley's a few weeks ago and the difference is AMAZING! All the acne is gone, I had no allergic reactions, no drying or peeling, and when I put on make-up, my face looks PhotoShop FLAWLESS!!!! I'll give up my cellphone before I give up Carley's!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
it works well for me and I have tried lots of different cleanser
Cons:
none
cheap, feel nice, not harsh

Pros:
It works but....
Cons:
-Not completely Clear
-I cant find it anywhere! Ugh I think walmart just recently stopped carrying it (just checked the other day 8-21-11)
If this is the only product you've found that is working for your acne, then it's probably because you have candida overgrowth (yeast). Homeopathic medicines' concept is "Like Cures Like", that's why this product contains Candida Albicans. I like this product because the benzoyl peroxide is 5% and its waaay better that Dans acne.org BP (my skin is EXTREMELY oily). Anyway, im doing a month long cleanse along with a strict diet change for my candida problem...but in the mean time im still trying to find Natures Cure IN STORES!!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
- Reduces swelling of spots
- Prevents spots
Cons:
- Darkens skin
- Leaves scars
I have been using Benzoyl Peroxide for a few months and I must say, I have seen some improvements. You JUST use it sonsistantly though! It has reduced the size of my spots which is really good. However, I have noticed that it darkens my skin quite a bit. I think that although it does help acne, it won't clear it in my opinion.
Pros:
NO PROS...
