Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
When I first began using it twice a day I noticed some skin irritation. I then reduced the use to once a day and my skin cleared immediately.
Great product!

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
not a lot...cheaper than proactive?
Cons:
it did not clear up my skin AT ALL. it dries your skin out because the toner has a lot of alcohol in it which i think has just irritated my skin. it did not clear up existing pimples or prevent new ones from coming up.
Not worth the money. Doesn't work worth sh*t.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
not much really.. it did seem to work the first couple of months that I used it
Cons:
A year later it didn't seem to have much of an effect on my acne at all. I would breakout with huge pimples every month. Not to mention it dries out my skin so badly and this is coming from one who has non-sensitive and extremely oily skin
Don't buy it. It might work near the start but in the long run its not worth it and a lot of money will be wasted meaninglessly. And since its a US product its like 60 dollars in Canada

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It did make my skin (the part not covered with acne) softer.
Cons:
It didn't work very well at all.
It doesn't work. At least the regular kind. When I used it I still had a lot of my zits and it only make the redness worse. I don't recommend it.

Product used: Nature's Cure (Two-Part Acne Treatment System for Males)
Pros:

Cons:
The pills don't work...period.
Don't Bother.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Keeps my skin clear and improved my skin tone.
Cons:
It's not sold in stores.
If you are looking for the solution to hard-to-cure acne, this is it. Follow the Regimen precisely every single day. It took me a while to clear up (a month) but it has been almost 3 years now. All those pesky red marks are gone and I rarely get a breakout I can't control. Before the Regimen, I had acne all over my face and had gone to derms for 5 years. Please give it a shot!

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Eliminated those big, sore, under the skin pimples. Took about a month to get rid of the blackheads. Every once in a while I will get a little bump but if I leave it alone it goes away without getting any bigger after a day or so.
Cons:
Needs a step 4 moisturizer, but I use a light moisturizer w/SPF and it keeps my face from getting too dry. Steps 1 and 3 will bleach towels, pillowcases, so be careful, or just use white ones, and watch your shirt collar too.
Great product, cheaper and smells better than ProActiv.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
I saw results overnight. My zits weren't as red, and they were slightly smaller
Cons:
Drys skin a little, but not too bad and hey, i'd rather have a little dry skin than lots of zits
This product has worked well for me. I am also going to use Clean and Clear Persa Gel 10 with it, which should help more too. Great product!

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
Cleared my skin better than it was before, it definately helps if you use it daily.
Cons:
Doesn't smell great, and can be expensive if you over use it.
Good stuff, give it a try.
September 1, 2007
Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
it helps clear blackheads AND LITTLE PIMPLES, ONCE CLEARED A HUGE ONE.
Cons:
it made my skin have a reaction, and sometimes the cleanser can irritate your skin and make fricken acne worse.
i dont use it anymore, stopped using after like a month almost a year ago, but kept the reparing lotion which sorta helps. dont buy it tho, well may work, idk.
Pros:
I love it. I have very mild acne, usually appearing as small bumps on my forehead. My skin is now very clear and I have no break outs. My overall skin looks much more even and healthy.
