Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Cons:
>it doesn't work for me
>my pimples got worse even the small ones
I hurriedly went to Walmart last night to get this product hoping it would help get rid of my pimples but when I put it on last night, after 4 hours, they're still visible. And when I woke up this morning to check..they got worse!!! I'm so mad at this thing.. It's like I spent $10 for a moisturizer..I tried to put it this morning again but it's been 5 hours now and my pimples got bigger, so I ended up using baking soda :( please don't be fooled by most acne products.. stop wasting your money on these and look for natural remedies instead. Honestly, I always buy different kinds of acne products and all they did was NOTHING but make my pimples worse (plus they're expensive)

Product used: AcneFree (Terminator)
Pros:
Just for the record, I'm reviewing the original formula for this - its for moderate acne, not severe.
- It gets rid of those big "lumps"
-it works overnight
-It dries them up so quickly
Cons:
-The formula (the cream one) sucks, the gel one is SOSOSOSOSO much better
- Its hard to find
- It's ooey gooey
-It doesn't prevent new pimples
This stuff really deserves its name. It does terminate acne, and it works really well on clusters and large lumps. However, I'm disappointed I haven't been able to get the original formula I started using back in like February. That one worked, this cream one sucks.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)

Helps get rid of some but not all
Cons:

Leaves face super red and ugly
Its ok but my face looks really bad because of the redness and it hurts. Doesn't get rid of most of my pimples.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
exfoliator
Cons:
everything else..
First of all - after I purchased this product, my account information was hacked from their own site and had $655 worth of charges! It was a NIGHTMARE! They sent an e-mail out saying their site had been hacked and said they were going to put an extra layer of security.. BE CAREFUL! Second - I tried and tried this product. I followed the directions correctly. I just used what they suggested. I have bumps/blackheads/whiteheads and only got cystic or hurtful acne once or twice a month with 2-4 here and there. BUT - the second I started using this I got a ton of HURTFUL cystic acne EVERYWHERE. It was AWFUL! Another nightmare. I could not believe it! I was so horrified. I AM STILL RECOVERING FROM THIS. I really had hope this would work. Going to try the acne.org regimen now!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
helped acne a little. face cleared up some
Cons:
dried skin out
didn't clear up all of skin
did nothing on blackheads
a hassle to do all three steps twice a day
i recommend it if you have light acne, but if moderate or worse don't get it. it will help a little bit but not enough.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
none, none, and none
Cons:
took a long time to apply
dried out my skin
i had severe acne after the first month of use
i'm really glad that it has helped so many, however, i guess my skin does not take benzoyl peroxide well. i don't have sensitive skin either. i used to the whole acne.org regimen and i have never had such low self confidence as when i was on this regimen. i started out with moderate acne and heard so many glowing reviews i knew i had to try it. i, like most everyone with acne, have tried every product under the sun. so, thinking it couldn't hurt to try, i spent however much money and placed my order. after a couple weeks everyone was commenting on how bad my skin looked. but everyone on acne.org told me that's how it starts and if i just kept with it, my skin will get better...it's just getting used to the BP. i should've trusted my gut instinct though. i used the regimen exactly as stated and started with the bp little by little, applying it thoroughly and gently, and used to for almost a year. anyways, almost 3 years later and i'm still left with horrible scars. so, if it's working for you, congrats! but if you feel like it's making you're acne worse, please, please, please discontinue use. it's not worth it. rating = 0

Cons:

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
1. Benzoyl Peroxide really does work to clear up acne.
2. The product prevents future outbreaks.
3. The lower concentration is less irritating to skin
Cons:
4. I prefer a thicker consistency
Benzoyl Peroxide works to clear up acne for me much better than the alternatives and it keeps breakouts away. This is sold at a great price and can last quite a while. I would definitely recommend it to others and will continue to use in the future.

Product used: Spectro (AcneCare)
Pros:
-Fits well into Dan's regimen
-Only 2,5% BP I could find in my city
Cons:
-You have to apply it fast because it starts to dry and peel if you pass your fingers over it.
- Leaves white residue
-Peels throughout the day, it looks like if your skin is peeling from a sunburn
I would suggest it but the product definitely leaves room for improvement. It does help with the acne.
