Cons:
I don't think this would work for non oily sensitive skin.
For me it works great with neutrogena oil free acne wash, Alphahydrox 10% glycolic oil free formula and OC Eight. See my review for Neutrogena oil free acne wash for my am/pm routine. I highly recommend all these products.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Affordable, works to clear active acne, great customer service.
Cons:
Bottle is a little difficult to use.
This product is the only product that cleared by active acne. I tried everything before, from oral antibiotics, bcps, and creams. Now that my acne is gone, however, my attention has turned to removing scars. Nothing works like Carleys. I would recommend that you purchase the severe acne Kick Ass product if your acne is moderate to severe. That is what cleared my skin.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
- big size tube
- dries smooth, not sticky
- spreads well
- is already clearing up my skin
I am so glad I switched to this from the previous treatment I was using. I had no idea how huge the tube would be! It is working better than my previous treatment, with little to no sting.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel)
Pros:
None.
Cons:
Everything.
It made the parts where I had applied it bright red. So red that even my friends were asking me if I had had a allergic reaction to something.
It was a flakey and peely and absolutely horrendous. I couldn't put my make up on or anything. It was horrible
Do not buy this product. Go natural instead. I've started to- Egg White face masks - simply spread the egg whites over face and let it dry. Wash my face with porridge oats/oatmeal but at night I use my normal mild Olay conditioning milk cleanser to remove makeup. Drink green tea - 3-4 cups a day or two capsules. Hope these remedies work for you :) - HoldingOn.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Gets rid of major blemishes and reduces redness
Everyone always says proactiv is so bad it never works but it works for me. I bought it a week ago and my major bumps are gone I still have a flew blemishes but there's no redness and it leaves my skin feeling clean. The reaso proactiv doesn't work for some people is all dependent on what kind of skin you have. I have normal skin and I think it works for oily skin but if you have dry skin I don't recommend using it. And buy the refining mask and I Spread a thin layer of it all over my chin and my forehead and I Leave it overnight and my skin isn't dry in the morning.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
-Works well for those little bumps that don't really look like zits.
-It didn't totally clear my blackheads, but they are much less noticeable. I think a pore strip might clear them right up.
Cons:
-Using it twice a day and REALLY dry out your skin, even though you are using the moisturizer as well. However, I don't have expecially oily skin.
-Bleached my pillow and towels. I haven't noticed it on my clothes so much, but I don't use it on my back every day. I think it would definitely bleach your clothes if you did that.
Great product. I had bad acne as a teenager and it has gotten better, but I've struggled to clear it completely since then (I'm now 28). This is the first product I've found that has cleared it for me without over drying. As I said before, I had to cut back on the treatment because it was over drying my skin, but since I've done that it is working great. One negative, I recently noticed that it is bleaching any fabric that it comes into contact with on a regular basis. If you are someone that has struggled with this for a long time, you probably agree that this is a reasonable price to pay for something that works. I just use the same pillowcase and towel all of the time and wash them as needed.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Ok well I bought the acnefree sensitive skin one and this one! I personally love the sensitive way more than the normal one! The sensitive one feels great it cleared whiteheads and blackheads in days! This one is good to but I guess because I didn't want to dry out my face I used the sensitive one! I would re commend the sensitive one over this one but it really depends on your skin type. anyway the sensitive one didn't dry out my face and I have not broken out since!
Cons:
I liked the sensitive one more.
The sensitive one was cheaper too.
The normal one dryer my out
This product is okay but I choose sensitive all the way!
Pros:
Great for extremely oily skin that's NOT sensitive.
