Cons:
VERY VERY DRY skin when u use it, Burns Alot Feels like my face is on fire when i use it
Quinoderm can be good in some cases but im not sure i have uses it for about 4 days no wand my skin is so dry mosturiser cant even help it people will probably say then dont use it so often but i only use it once a day im gonna start to use it once every 2 days and if that doesnt work then i might change to a lower consistence with 5%

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
I had a small puss-filled mountain on the side of my face, and this stuff dried it down quite a bit before a big event this weekend.
Cons:
Burnt a little bit... I'd use caution if you have overly sensitive skin. It feels like someone put a really really really hot towel on your face.
I'd recommend getting it if you have an event or something to go to in a few days. Like I said, the zits on my face weren't gone overnight but they sure as heck looked better after I used this stuff... It's cheaper than Proactiv.

cant go a day without it!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Let me think - oh, right. It helps my skin. Duur -_-U
Cons:
I don't use all of the products, but I share with my sister so it's all fine.
I do break out at times due to hormones (my monthly) and excessive stress, but they're very minor. As long as I don't look like I did in grade 8, I'm happy.
It works for me. Not everyone's skin is suitable for the same products, but I have to shuffle between ones because my skin becomes immune to stuff after a couple months. **RANT BELOW** - And I'm not sugarcoating it. Oh. My. GOD. How many people do NOT know tat this is for people with /actual/ acne - not just a couple of pimples on your forehead, but acne!?!? If you try it with little to no acne you're not gonna get many places, it won't be worth the price. And to WATCHOUT!, it does say that the product acts a bleach on fabrics. Dunno how you missed that one -_-U

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
It comes in a small bottle for travel. Soposed to clear your acne.
Cons:
Quite expensive, sometimes over-dries the skin.
This product is not really that afforable but give it a try. I am doing the acne.org regimen and I am only on week 3. I haven't seen much of an improvement yet so....
September 15, 2008
Pros:
Moisturizer is good.
Night cream goes on smooth, not too drying.
Cons:
Concentration of medication too low.
Terrible consistency.
Terrible aroma. Does not work!
Absolute waste of money. I threw this out after using it for a month and bought the products I was using before (Clean & Clear Cleansing Scrub and CVS brand benzoyl peroxide). It ruined the beautiful complexion I had worked so hard to achieve. I broke out all over my chin, and my skin became oily and temperamental. The absolute worst part was the consistency and smell of the cleanser. It has a disgusting, congealed texture and does not exfoliate or lather easily. Leaks in the bottle and will often times slip right out of your hands. Incredibly, unnecessarily hard to clean your face with. The BP night treatment is nothing new. Get the 10% store brand for a fourth of the price of this kit - and grab an exfoliating cleanser with a higher percentage of SA, while you're at it. Save yourself the time and trouble.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
it does clear up your acne and gets rid of pimples in 3 days

September 6, 2008
Product used: Benzac AC (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Gel)
Pros:
Clears and dries up cystic pimples
Cons:
A bit expensive, dries out skin where you place it.
I had bad acne, it looked as though a cat had attacked my face. This dries out cystic pimples so they don't get worse. Apply an inch around the pimple. The percentage doesn't matter, contrary to popular belief. It's better to start off with 2.5% though. Don't apply all over your face and make sure you keep this as part of a continuous skin care routine, washing, exfoliating and toning.
