Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Cons:
It just makes my skin brake out more and more... it clears out for a few days but then it all comes back again... :( Its never ending!!! My skin has not cleared and ive been using it for over 4 months!
I dont know if it was made to help my type of acne.. i have lots of whiteheads that tend to turn into zits! So annoying! They wont disappear any other way! But they are coming out (although it is taking a VERY long time and scaring my skin EVERYWHERE!)so im hoping that after a year (hopefully not more than that) all my whiteheads will come out (buy turning into those ugly zits) and i'll finally be free. I think its this product that is making them come out, though not at all in a good way! Overall of you dont want scarring DONT use this!!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Nothing, I don't even like the smell.
Cons:
It made my skin itchy, dried it right out, and i broke out more.
Proavtic is glorified. They make it out to be so much more then it is. When in reality it is just junk.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
EVERYTHING!!!!It's simple and easy to do every night! There is no smell afterwards, no bleaching, leaves my skin so fresh and soft!!! I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!
Cons:
NONE!
All my breakouts are clearing up and some old scars are disappearing. I didn't have bad case of acne before but I never had it when I was young so once I started getting breakouts it made me very very very self-conscious! It has been a few years not and I have tried lots of stuff and this is the first time I am seeing results like this - without any smelly medications, bleaching, etc. I was very sceptical but being very persistent really pays off!
I was feeling almost depressed about my skin when I did lots of research on acne and found out about you - and I am so glad I did! My friends tell me I sound like a commercial but I wanted to help anyone struggling like myself!

Product used: Klear Action (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It is cheap enough; it's easy to use
Cons:
It over dried my face after a couple of weeks and I am not sure it's clearing me up... I still have acne...
I don't recommend it if you have sensitive skin.Yes, my face is less oily, but I still break out and I'm over dried. I'm going to give it another couple of weeks but if I don't see more results I will use something else.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
Rids of redness within hours, clears small and minor pimples. Great quick fix products. Ideal for pre-party/pre-event treatment.
Cons:
Not ideal long-term. Just like Proactiv, this product masks the acne problem ...doesn't actually solve it. Doesn't work on cyst-like acne, or big pimples.
Great product for short-term treatment. Waste of $$$ over long term, may actually stop working after a period of time...depending on acne severity. Bottom line is everyone should try it atleast once, no harm in trying!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
it smells good..it brightens my skin
Cons:
other than that..it gave me more pimples..and they hurt too...I hate the product

August 26, 2008
Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It smelled good
Cons:
It was horrible. I used it a month and my skin was worse than ever. It hurt, was red, very dry and peeling, and didn't get rid of any acne at all. It just made my skin worse.
Don't buy it!

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
It works really well on smaller pimples, whiteheads, etc. Also tends to cover up the red if used sparingly during the day.
Cons:
Doesn't work on nodules or cystic stuff, at least not that well. Bit of redness/dryness after washing it off.
I do like this product. I don't think there's anything that really works that well against all acne so this is probably the best I've tried. I like that it works against smaller breakouts very well. Large chin-mountains and third eyes are not really helped by this product so much. Maybe a little... but not enough to go "wow that really worked"
Pros:
Makes skin really soft after using it a while.
