Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Bar)
Cons:
It's very drying, but that's easily remedied with Cetaphil moisturizer. It takes a couple of weeks to really notice the difference, so you have to be patient.
We've spent hundreds, maybe more than $1000 on prescription medications with little success. Panoxyl is a blessing for my son. His face is much clearer and he's much happier. I, on the other hand, have to keep telling the girls, "sorry, he already has a girlfriend." :-)

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Clears acne, reduces oiliness and shine
Cons:
can make skin a bit dry in the winter, the counters can't keep the line in stock
The 3 step acne line is fabulous. Although I still get the occassional breakout, it is a rarity compared to before. My skin tone is more even and bright. I have tried many products including proactiv and this is better by far.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It completely cleared up my skin. I've been pimple/break-out free for almost 3 months now.
Cons:
When I first used it, like the first three days, my face was a little itchy and dry.
It's a really good product. Like I said I got a bit itchy on the face in the very beginning, so like it said on the instructions, I used it less often (once instead of twice a day) and the itching and dryness went away. Now I just use it in the morning and my skin is completely clear and is always soft and smooth. Easily the best skin care I've ever used.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It Works, i didn't think it did, at all it just pissed me off, yet for some reason i kept using it. It makes sense now, everybody complains it dosnt work after only a week of use. i had horrible achene for a month of use, than it completely cleared!
Cons:
ITS EXPENSIVE, takes so long to work, and the first week your skin is irritated
IT DOES WORK. Dont complain a product dosntr work if the directions arent fully followed and time isnt given for it to work. i only use the wash and occasionaly the cream, never the toner, and it works fine after a month. also on bad breakouts add some Equate achene cream to the spots, its only like 1.50 at walmart, and its gone in a day.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Definetly clears breakouts fast when used exactly as the regimen suggests. Clears up your red marks as well
Cons:
Some times gets a little bit over dyring , but that can really depend on how long you wait to moisturize
Fantastic product, I won't use anything else, This product has hands down made me smile everytime I look in the mirror

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
It's cheap.
Cons:
everything else about the product.
It's done absolutely nothing for my acne. My face is extremely red. But maybe that's because the burning is so bad it feels as though someone poured acid on my face. Mind you, I washed my face about an hour and a half ago and it still burns. My face is ridiculously dry. The package says that you'll see results in as "little as 3 days" I'm going on day 6 and my acne is actually worse than it was before. Don't use it.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel)
Pros:
i got this product by prescription by my local doctor, it clears your acne fast and effectively.
Cons:
I think the doctor had a grudge against me, a way of tryin 2 prescribe me something that would BURN my f****** face off ! this stuff is lethal i tell you, if you have sensitive skin then dont use it ! it turns your face SO dry and flaky
from wat i see this proudct has ad the same reiew over and over again e.g - dry flaky burnt side effects, i dont even no why this stuff is rated to b the best treatment 4 acne cuz reely its like puttin f****** acid on yuor face.i used it 4 bout a week and my face was bone dry with big brown patches of dry dead skin....took alot of vaseline to get my face bak in shape, but after, it was nice n smooth, BUT never again will i use this loada sh*t cuz it just aint worth lookin like a dry ballsac wen u wana go out and enjoy yourself.
Pros:
My 16 year old son likes it because he can use it in the shower. It's not time consuming, just part of his daily routine.
