Pros:
There were no pros when I used this product
Cons:
My skin was chemically burned and dried out. It made my skin worse than it already was. It is a horrible immitation of pro active and does not work better at all.
Don't use this product it is a waste of money and time.

I love this soap and all of your products. I have battled with adult acne for years--went the regular route of dermatologists, Accutane, antibiotics, all kinds of store-bought products, etc. Within two weeks of first using your soap, my skin was remarkably better. I now use the soap for everything--showers
and shampoo. My skin has never been softer and my flat haireven has body and bounce. I still get breakouts on my chin, but ONLY when I don't follow washing my face with
using your moisturizer. For the first time in my entire life--I am 52--I have people I barely know come up to me and tell me how they envy my beautiful skin!! I swear by all of your products.

Pros:
It cleared everything and even made the bumps you couldn't see go away! It barely takes two minutes to apply nightly. and its perfect for my small budget!
Cons:
it dries out my skin way too much! especially in the winter time. It might cause inflamation as well.
I am a more confident girl, and i don't have to shy away from things because of an outbreak. Natures cure saved me time, money, and embarassment. I simply couldn't live without it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The chick that sold em to me was hot?
Cons:
Crap stuff. For starters every step of this "solution" can be bought individually at the pharmacist at a much cheaper price. Two, did not work and made everything worse. Skin peeling / red sore raw skin / more lesions.
Sh*thouseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Potentially dries out existing inflamed acne.
Cons:
Expensive, over dries, harsh and irritates and strips the skin. Also makes you more oily as a result of the dryness.
The worst choice I've ever made for my skin. I still have marks left from the dryness it caused. It dried me out so much that it caused scars. It did a decent job of getting rid of existing acne but it never prevented new acne from forming.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Clears acne fast. Took me about 2-3 days to see some significant results.

Dries up skin. You might need to buy a mosturizer.
Its worth it. If it wasnt for this product my ance wouldve been alot worse.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Evens out skin complexion, gets rid of a bit of acne
Cons:
Skin becomes immune to it. Once you stop using it for a day, you break out ! / dries out & irrate skin
If you have sensitive skin, don't try ! They are better products out there.
Pros:
it cleared my acne in about a week, and does well in prevention, its also alot cheaper than proactiv
