Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
it dried my skin out. I use to squeeze a little bit of the cleanser into my hands and then wash my face. The palms of my hands started breaking out in little bumps and itching like mad.
This is a horrible bleached product. It has even bleached my towels and face cloth and any clothes that get splashed on. DON"T USE THIS. There's better products out there than this rubbish celebrity endorsed bleach.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
-Cleared Skin IMMEDIATELY
-Gave Skin a nice glow
Cons:
-Stopped working after about 6-8 weeks
-Pimples took a lot longer to go away when using this product
-Made skin more oily (even though I have naturally oily skin as it is!
I ordered this on Ebay to avoid the sign-up/refill hassle. I figured if it worked for me, i'd be glad to sign up for it. As soon as I started using it, it was like a miracle, my skin looked amazing and I felt great about myself! After about 3-4 weeks of using it religiously, I started noticing a pimple here and a pimple there, and by the 7th week or so, my skin was back to the way it was unfortunately. After looking at my face on the 8th week and having about 5 or 6 big pimples on my face, I figured it stopped working. So in conclusion, this product doesn't completely clear your skin, but it will help control your breakouts to a fault,

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It lasted a few months. The scrub was nice, left skin feeling refined.
Cons:
Unfortunately this didn't help me at all. I spent 3 months in the USA and seen the adds all over TV so when came home I purchased. I was so dissapointed. It didn't work for me at all. I used it twice a day morning and before I went to bed.
It could just be my bad luck but didn't work for me at all.

Product used: Pacnex (Benzoyl Peroxide (4.25%) or (7%) Cleanser)
Pros:
Great for acne break-outs on the face and body.
Cons:
Dry's skin
The Pacnex benzoyl peroxide is a great product for mild to severe acne on the face and body. I've suffered from acne on my face and body from my teenage years through adulthood. It wasn't until I started to use the BP, that I noticed changes in my skin. I tried many different products over the years, I changed my diet and sought treatment from several different dermatologists, without long term results. I made one more attempt to relieve myself of the embrassing acne and acne scarring and sought advisement of another dermatologist. I explained my issue, and my dissatisfaction with previous regimens. He prescribed the BP wash for my back and chest, a daily topical for my face, and a fade cream. After the first week of the new regimen, I noticed a significant difference in my skin and the number of reoccuring break-outs. I was finally able to wear my cute strapless summer dresses confidently and without covering up. Needless to say after three years of use, I have very few break-outs and my skin remains smooth and clear. I am VERY please with the results this product have yielded! The only draw back to the product is it can cause extreme drying of the skin. Make sure to use a good sun screen and moisturizer. I hope this feedback help you make your decision to use this product.

It was a couple years ago, I just wanted clear skin. So I got my mom to order me proactiv, i've seen very good reviews on tv, all these celebrites so i thought it might be something that would work for me. ----It didnt do anything. I dont like this product, it was harsh and it hurt but didnt do anything

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Absolutley fabolous
Cons:
Can be a little drying but with the green tea moisturizer it is quickly resolved
Love it!! I've seen other comments and well not everyone is going to agree with each other. Most people don't like it because they are using it incorrectly. Dime size amounts twice a day is how it is suppose to be used. Many people over use leading to dryness or irritation. Best advice is you don't know til you try it.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
none...
Cons:
leaves white streaks. balls up when applying moisturizer. extremely expensive. runs out quickly... need i go on?
If you are on the regimen and can afford to go through a tube of this probably every few weeks, you might as well buy Dan's BP because in reality you're going to save so much money and it works so much better. Dan's BP is a gel, which goes on perfectly and invisibly. This stuff is a cream so you have to rush to apply it and even then it still dries and leaves white streaks. Then just when you think it's dry, you apply your moisturizer, only to find out it wasn't really dry because it's balling up and coming off again. Ugh! don't waste your money people.

Didn't work for me. It didn't cause breakouts, but didn't help them. I have oily skin, too.Probably works on very light acne.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Goes on smooth, you can feel it working. Its different than any other acne product ive tried, its much better than Pro activs BP cream. I like that its a gel because it feels so much better.
Cons:
At first it really dries you out, but i would rather deal with a little dry skin than acne.
It works better than any BP out there. Its definitely worth the money
Pros:
Nothing
