Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Cons:
It's a bit pricey for such a small bottle, but it's worth it.
It works like a charm.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
It made my skin feel smooth. It reduced my blackheads around my chin area. It's very affordable, and it was convenient. I purchased the product at Walgreens.
Cons:
It will dry your face out after the first couple of times you use it. It takes longer than three days for you to see results which they claimed on the box.
If you have moderate or very little acne I think you should give it a try. Use a moisturizer after the third step to prevent your face from getting dry.

Pros:
None
Cons:
Irritated my skin, overnight cream gave me some intense peeling and the lotion did absolutely no help.
This product did not work on my active acne at all. Total waste of money and time.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Dried out the pimples that i already had
Cons:
dried out my whole face!
If you have moderate acne i would suggest using somthing less strong. i have stopped using this product and have used the "wave" it works very well and doesnt dry out at all just cleanses. Also just use a spot treatment~

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
it works!!! . safe 2 use everyday and it doesnt dry out your skin like most other products do with continuous use. i especially love the natural soaps that come with it.
Cons:
i honestly cant think of anything bad to say about this product
it works wonders and have been quite amazed at the difference it has made to my skin. you just have to give it time to work and make sure you follow the instructions. my skin became worse wen i first started to use it but i stayed with it and now i cant believe the difference it has made. I do still have slight red marks but I have only been using it for around 3months so expect they will go after a while. Thankyou so much. you have a great product:)

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
I like this product, works well on spot treatment

can leave a brown spot, if have sensative skin, use 5% BP instead
Works well, on big pimples. Spot treat ONLY. may burn face if applied to much, apply every other day, very strong stuff!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Nothing!!!
Cons:
Everything-the way it made my skin feel, the smell, dry skin, the process, the cost. Oh, and the fact that it made my skin worse!
I started using this early this past summer to help acne/prevent new breakouts. I used it exactly as the directions has stated and not only did it not help but it made my skin worse. I started breaking out under my chin, along the jawline, and on my neck! Places that I never had acne before. The cost is ridiculous and I cannot even believe I bought it. I know everyone has different skin and why didn't work for me could work for others, but your money will probably be better spent on something else that will actually wok.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I really like proactive. I have only been using it for a few days but i already notice a difference. I love the fact that it works so fast!!
Cons:
I hear alot of bad things about it and i dont know if they will happen to me. The price is a little expensive but i dont pay for it.
I would recomend it so far.
Pros:
This is heaven in a bottle for me! When I first started using it my face was covered with blemishes but this got rid of them in 4 days. It doesn't irritate my skin, and it works quickly.
