Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Cons:
Of coures, the price. But honestly if it makes your skin clear then it's worth it! Other than that: NONE!! :)
I just bought this kit yeserday and I already notice results! My skin is smooth and less oily and way less red than a few days ago. My zits are smaller and less inflammed. I just have to say: this product is not for all skin types. Find out what skin type you have, then do a little research on medication that is right for your skin type. Otherwise I would highly recomend this product to anyone that thought all hope was lost! Don't give up!!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
Nice Packaging,doesn't make existing pimples larger or hurt....
Cons:
I don't use this daily so it hasn't really done a whole lot for me,but it did make a pimple alittle smaller and anythings better than making ir bigger or worse....
With consistency this could be a valuable acne fighter,so maybe I'll try it and give it another review....

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
It did decrease the frequency of my breakouts and they are minor compared to what they used to be.
Cons:
If you use it too often, it dries your face out... and makes your skin very sensitive.
This product works pretty good, but that's just me. Everyone has different skin, types of acne, stress levels, and bad habits. The Severe Acnefree foaming cleanser is probably my favorite product. It's worked better than my $180 dollar tube of Differin combined with my antibiotics.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Works for me, smooth and easy to apply, lasts way longer (2 squirts day and night) than your average tube of BP, smell reminds me of my ex.
Cons:
Smell reminds me of my ex :(
All jokes aside, it does what every other BP treatment has failed to do and that's clear up most of my pimples BETTER and without the white residue. I used to have many tiny bumps which would scar, but after a few months of using this they're all gone and now I only deal with a few pimples. If you have time in your morning routine and you have acne, give it a try.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Reduced redness. Reduced blotchiness of skin tone. Makes skin soft and smooth. The sulpher mask really helps to clear up skin when first using Proactiv. It works incredibly well.
Cons:
The repairing lotion can make your skin a bit dry, however it is nothing that a daily moisturizer with SPF in it can't fix. Which everyone should be using daily anyway to protect from the harmful UV rays.
For those people who have minor acne that does not require you to go to the dermatologist, this product is not for you. This product is for SEVERE acne sufferers who have been to dermatologists and have used such prescribed lotions, pills, etc,.. like accutane, and still suffer from acne. Proper use of this product shows incredible results. A few comments have mentioned only using it at night or when they had a breakout. That isn't proper use of the product. It is a 2x daily cleaning regime. Always test products on your skin before use as many people have skin allergies...this is recommended by products of any kind. I've been using this product for years. I now use it 1x a day and use a Neutrogena cleanser to remove make-up in the evening, and my skin just glows. The 3-step products last me for about 6 months, so the $60 for the 3 components is worth it. You would spend about $15 on a regular cleanser, $15 on a toner, $20 acne cream, and $20 for a moisturizer anyway, so

Product used: Quinoderm ((5% or 10%) Benzoyl Peroxide and (0.5%) Potassium Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate Cream)
Pros:
Worked after only a couple of days!
Cons:
Currently on day 4 and it does dry skin a little but once I realised this after day 2 I just cut down on using it in the morning. It is really not a problem at all as I am just not overdoing it with the cream.
I broke out in spots on my chin very badly due to coming off the pill. Months later (even going back on the pill) my skin had still not cleared up. I have been trying to avoid going on Dianette (the contraceptive). I found out about this cream and got the 5%. Within a couple of days my skin is almost 100% smooth to touch, no new spots have arrived yesterday or today, and the old ones are clearing fast. It is so cheap, works quick, and you get it over the counter from Boots. Excellent. Although, it will be interesting to see whether it totally clears the skin or whether I have to rely on continued use.
