Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Cons:
frigging drying! May cause peeling, burning sensation.
IM FREAKING OUT OKAY, I GOT A 2 BROWN PATCHES WHERE I APPLIED THIS PRODUCT! Dont listen when ppl say to put it all over, just use this on pimples directly. It does help, but dont use this product excessively. And if ya feel a weird burning sensation, my advice is to wash it off before skin discolouration occurs.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
AMAZING, Cleared my skin, is gentle, easy to use and quick, made my face less oily, made my face incredibly smooth + clear + soft, given me back my confidence
Cons:
took a little while to have totally clear skin (2 months) but i could see a noticeable difference after 2 weeks!! Kinda made me a bit pale because of the exfoliating beads using it everyday, rubbed off my tan hahah but really i don't care.... =D
Oh my goodness! TRY IT! you have got nothing to lose and all to gain form this! and if it doesn't work for you, you can get a complete refund!! you can even get the S+H back!
I love this product and have ordered it for my brother (by the way im 16, but this works for all ages) and i'm very excited to introduce him to this miracle product! It's the only thing that has worked for me! =)

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
Clears skin well
Great price
Easy application
Cons:
Dries skin, makes blackheads, skin never completely clear, loses affectiveness after long time use
Works well for the price. Don't start using 10% right away.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
Clears blackheads, whiteheads, small to large, over just a few days. I used it with my Clarisonic system and my skin was about 80% clearer in a week. I am using it on my back with a back scrubber and it's not working as well there for some reason.
Cons:
None really, wish it came in a larger bottle with a pump for convenience.
It works. I have very oily skin, congested, acne-prone, not sensitive, very fair. I am a 24 year old female.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
You can really feel it working and my skin was alot clearer after a few days!
Cons:
Stings after a shave for a good few hours, quite pricey and smells quite bad.
Alot of people complain about this product giving them rashes or dry skin etc but it is because they are using the wrong amount, too much will do this your only supposed to used not even half a squirt of this stuff its made to be strong so you dont have to use so much. It ISNT normal face cream and shouldnt be used like one, when used properly the results are amazing, buy buy buy!

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
Very cheap and easy to use.
Seems to dry and thus clear/ reduce spots.
Gives skin a healthy glow.
Cons:
Few red patches and flaky skin in some areas.
It certainly has a positive affect on the skin, giving it a smoother appearance as well as minimising and clearing spots and keeping them at bay. I would never stop using it as its almost like a miracle cure and I'm surprised it's not been hijacked by some big company and sold as such for a great deal more! Comes in 3 strengths - 2.5, 5 and 10%. I have used the 5% one for months and swear by it and just started on the 10% but may go back to 5% if it's too harsh. Start on the low and increase to what your skin can handle. One of them MUST work - it's amazing. Good luck!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
It works - clears skin better than other acne products, e.g., Proactiv, Neutrogena, and keeps skin clear. Less expensive than these products.
Cons:
Dries skin. Discolors the collars on some of my clothing. (My bathrobe is really suffering.)
Highly recommend. Using large quantities of the BP is key to its effectiveness. The packaging and pricing lend themselves to this. My skin cleared up very quickly. After a couple of months of use, even the small bumps under my skin went away. I don't even have the occassional breakout.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
This is the only product that worked for my severe acne.
Cons:
First two weeks acne will worsen, but clears up afterwards.
I've had acne since I was a teen, and now I'm 24 years old still with acne. I've tried everything from Proactiv, Dr. Miracle, Dr. Murad, etc and none of these products worked for me. I believe that Clinique acne system works well on severe acne, and not light to moderate acne. I've notice that people with light to moderate acne felt that the Clinique didn't work for them. I also recommend using the face bar soap for acne, instead of the foam cleanser with the system (the bar soap cleans your face better),and be sure to get the Clinique Moisturizing gel because some parts of your face will be dry.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel)
Pros:
This really does work. This is the second time I have decided to use this specific treatment and within the first few days, my skin had vastly improved.
Cons:
It does make your skin red and a bit sore. Moisturising before using can help with flaky skin patches.
Try it!!! Although it makes your skin a bit red for the first couple of days/weeks, the outcome is completely worth it. I have tried everything (sudocrem, dermalogica, clearsil, toothpaste, tea tree...the list is endless) and was apprehensive about using this again but Im glad I did. My skin and confidence has definitely improved.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
I used this product for about a year, and it worked well. Not only did it keep my skin clear, it actually kept it from being so oily all the time (but not dry either). My skin also adapted very quickly to the routine.
Cons:
After a year of using it, I have developed an allergy to this product, and had to stop using it.
Definitely worth trying!!!
Pros:
it does clear up some pimples,and reduce blemishes
