Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)

i love it! ive used it for about 2 months. As long as you use it on a regular twice a day schedule you will be pleased with the results!

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
Works fast, extremely gentle on skin but still very effective, reduces appearance of shine during the day
Cons:
Can be a bit tricky to apply, comes in small tube
If you use this product twice a day like dan says to, you will probably see great results. I've recently used both epiduo and proactiv consistently for months at a time, and this dinky little tube of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide works better than both of them. And i dont have mild acne either, i have pretty aggressive moderate acne and this cleared it up. Definitely give it a shot.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
AMAZING job clearing up my skin. FOLLOW the instructions laid forth on this website.
Cons:
Does dry but using the jojoba oil with my moisturizer really helps
LOVE IT! Price is great, product is great and it delivers when you use it like you should. I have used Maxclairty, Proactive and soo much more. This works but follow the directions!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
LOVE this product....Been using this for about 4 years now and it is the only product that keeps me clear... Definately would recommend this to anyone...just try it!
Cons:
none!
I use the Teen acne formula... I also use a facial brush with the natural soap to help slough away dead skin...it really made a differance once I started using it that way!
My daughter used this a couple times...complained it made it worse so I suggested she use the facial brush and it has cleared it right up...not sure why but we are super happy about that!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Inexpensive, only $19 for a 16 oz bottle that lasts a long time and definitely works great.
Cons:
None
Great company to deal with, super prices and their products all all made with healthy ingredients which is comforting. Have used their soap also which is nice enough to use on your Hair and body, very nice. Moisture creams are lovely. We live in Canada and cannot find anything that compares with price or quality, especially for their Combo packs. so way to go Carley's..

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
-Reduced large whitehead size
-You really do see a difference quickly (maybe not 4 hours, but pretty fast)
Cons:
-Did nothing for redness
-Didn't get RID of zit
-Irritates skin (I have sensitive skin)
-Expensive
I'd use this if you want a one-time quick fix. But this cream doesn't really help you in the long run. For me, it helped get my zits out of that gross whitehead phase, however, the zit would only change, not disappear. It would become un-pop-able and hard to deal with. I think it caused worse scarring.
DO NOT USE THIS CREAM ALL OVER YOUR FACE. It is only a spot treatment. I used it all over my face yesterday and today my skin is so painful! (Not damaged, but extremely uncomfortable) Also-if you do buy it and really want to get rid of a zit fast, don't follow the directions and put on a "thin coating"- GOP THAT BABY ON! It's the only way it works.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
NO MORE ACNE!!
Cons:
it may take awhile to work (give it a few weeks to a couple months)
I've had acne since the fourth grade and I'm a junior in high school now. I've tried everything. I almost gave up after using Proactiv, but then I found this. I've got a clear and smooth face now. I just wish I would have found this years ago. Then I wouldn't have acne scars. Please try this product!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Every person that posts something here says that their product is the best. I've tried everything!!! hundreds and hundreds of dollars. You want a quick fix or a solution? If you honestly want a solution try this product. It is simply the best. Quick results? not really, but excellent results at the end. It is sooooo worth it to wait for this wonder to work!!! I looooove it!!! try industrial strength by the way!!!
Cons:
nothing!!
It simply works!

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
It helps my acne. leaves my skin feeling amazing. It reduced redness and left my skin feeling amazing after 1 use!
Cons:
None.
This product is worth the money. I love clinique and all their products have been good to me. If you don't like it, or think it didn't work for you, take it back for a refund!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
It has cleared my skin and made it smooth and soft!
It has helped lighten my scars!
I had cystic acne! so for me to be saying this is incredible! trust me :)
Affordable, lasts forever, My twin, little sister and i all have bad skin and we all use it and the bottle last for over a month!! with us washing our faces and backs and chest!
Cons:
It took awile to work for me, about three months, but i had bad cystic acne so that was suspected, and i started t break out worse at first which was scary but it was just getting all the junk out of my pores! And i am sooooo glad i followed thourgh with it!!
I did some other things while i used this though so i can't give it all the credit, I took a colon and parasite cleanse that cleaned my blood to, and i use Silkia Cameilla, which i got off of ebay, to clear my scars and it works like nothing i have ever used before! It is like my skin is just starting over brand new!!! Nothing erases scars like this stuff and i have tried all the creams and butters lol so i definatly recommend doing all three if you have had it as bad as me for as long as me! i got the cleanse off ebay to its called dr naturas colon cleanse system its expensive but definatly worth it! it is REALLY easy to use to! But the main thing that helped my skin was this stuff these people are awesome for making something that actually works! It gave me my self esteem back i'm not ashamed of my skin any more!! So dont hesitate to try it or if you have keep using it if your like me and you didn't see instant results.
Pros:
it cleared up my skin after a month of use!
it makes my pores feel smaller.
i love the step 2 toner it makes my skin feel soft and opens my pores to let the step 3 treatment really reach the problem!
