Product used: Klear Action (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
now getting cystic acne
I'm not sure if I should stick with it, or stop using. I began using it becuase of cystic acne and I saw immediate improvment on my overall complexion but now I have 3 new cystic bumps. I don't know if I should continue use or if it's causing more problems. Anyone else had more cystic acne develop and keep using it with good results?

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
It spreads easily and penetrates rather well into the skin.
Cons:
It was drying to the face, even though it has 2.5% strength benzoyl peroxide in it. Also, I did get a level of itchiness to my face with this product as well. It does some level of acne control, just not the best.
This product is one that I thought would have worked better than it did. But, I really didn't find it to be really any different than any of the off-the-shelf acne products that you can readily find in the stores. It does provide some level of help to acne prone skin, however I do feel that there are better products out there on the to be used for acne than this one.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
easy to use kind of clears skin but not really
Cons:
burning itching & peeling
I have moderate acne so I decided what the hell i'll try it. When we first got it shipped it took FOREVER. I started usikng it and it cleared it up a little but now when I use it, it just gets dry and irritated. It makes my sking look worse oily and the redness doesn't go away. It might be different for other people but for me this "magic medicine" isn't working I just ordered murad's acne complex today and i'm gunna see if it works!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Works good, non drying, some immediate results, gentle for sensitive skin
Cons:
Takes a while to get full effect, can bleach towels.
Good product, makes your face look and feel good. Quick to use, easy automatic delivery. Get the extra stregth for worse acne, it puts salicylic acid in the mix too. (the toner) I used reguar for 6 months then switched and now with extra strength its even better. Extra strength doesn't smell very good though.

Pros:
it makes your face really smooth, and clears small pimples well

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Worked for awhile
Cons:
only worked for awhile. Dried my skin out
This product did not work for me. The girl who worked at the kiosk for it told me to give it about 3 packages and it would work, but i'm on my 3rd and i'm breaking out really bad.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
seems to be working well. my skin feels refreshed and clean after using it.
Cons:
horribly dried put my skin the first time i used it
I used it over the summer for about a week and it horribly dried out my skin but i don't remember if i used a moisturizer with it. I stopped because of it but just started again about 3 days ago because my acne has really increased. It seems to be working great the second time around, but then a gain i thickly apply moisturizer with it. Other products I have used feel to just clean the top layer, but underneath my pores still feel clogged. This product seems to clean under the surface and leaves my face very refreshed. i have faith in it this time (if i keep using good moisturizer) and hopefully it will work! If not, i'm thinking about skin ID, but the problem with that product among with proactive is you have to use a credit card. I'm only 14 so the convince of being able to buy this product in a drug store is great because i can pay with cash! I hope this works!
Pros:
I saw improvement immediatley
