Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
frangrance, burning, time consuming, NO POSITIVE RESULTS, costs more than its worth
i wasted a lot of money and many months believing that proactive's promise of clear skin would eventually come through. day and night, i followed their program religiously and i NEVER saw results. proactive seems to work primarily for people who have only a pimple here or there. it treats pimples, not acne... two totally different things. if you're condition is either moderate (or worse) and/or persistent, then you should see a derm and get some real help. accutane made my skin flawless after two months and the acne never came back. i can't believe i even bothered with silly products like proactive.

Product used: Clearasil (Daily Clear Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream)
Pros:
Dries up pimples.
Cons:
Doesnt absorb into your face so it irritates my pimples when i wash it off.When i washed it off my face was also very red and stung a little but the redness went away in about and hour.
Will help acne but it definitley can leave face dry or red. I do not reccomend you putting this on clear spots of your face, only on pimples. I also feel it works better on smaller pimples than bigger ones. I started today, and the small ones are already clearing up. This also barely has

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Works amazingly well! So much better than the Neutrogena On the Spot (which can leave your face looking white). Dan's formula goes on clear -no one will ever know you loaded so much on !
Cons:
none
If you follow the directions, it's going to work, go ahead and buy the big bottle!

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Made my skin smooth, and most importantly, acne free. It is truly a miracle product
Cons:
Somewhat tedious
It is an effective acne medication that, when used properly, will eventually stop breakouts. Everyone out there who attempts to use the product for a few days or complains that it makes them break out even more is most likely ignorant about the process of eliminating acne. Yess!!! It will make the acne worse for the first weeks or so. It is drawing up all the hidden residue and bacteria from the pores and pulling it to the surface. Then, once those pimples go away, your face will be clear. Make sure you use the products as directed. I have never had clear skin and this is the only product that has made my face completely clear. Don't be discouraged AND use your own moisturizer (the acne lotion is not the same as a moisturizer).

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Helped clear and prevent big break outs
Cons:
Didnt clear all pimples. Dried my skin out badly and made it peel. Burns really badly if it gets near your eyes. Stains everything.
Might be good if you just started having break outs. Can be costly and messy.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
Cheap stuff will not cure urs acne, but making it worst
I been using this product for 1 1/2 year and this product does not clear any of my acne but it makes my skin dry, red, large pore and the worse part are scars due to harsh drugs. If you have acne and wondering wat option out there, talk to urs doctor about laser resurfacing Fraxel, Careful in choosing urs best acne treatment, if not , it will leave with scars and even more acne.

Pros:
Cleared up acne for a little while, is all natural.
Cons:
Stops working after a while
I started taking these pills about 9 months ago. At first, my skin really cleared up. But starting in December, which is the 6th month, i started noticing my breakouts coming back. I kept taking the pills, hoping it was temporary, but it didnt help. It got even worse, and my face looked horrible. I hate this product, and I have now moved on to Murad. Murad is much much better and more effective than this Nature's Cure stuff. Dont be fooled. This is going to bring your breakouts back after a while. I have now learned my lesson.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Ummm, it worked really well for me, that's the Pro!
Cons:
Can't find it in (local) stores.
I had moderate acne starting in highschool and had tried and been prescribed tetracycline, doxcycline, differin, 10% BP, Proactiv, witch hazel, and about 7-8 others. None of those made a difference whatsoever except sometimes the Proactiv mask stuff for spots. So I tried to just wait it out and outgrow it, but it didn't seem that was going to happen as I still had it my sophomore year of College. I had checked this site before and read a lot of Dan's stuff and decided to just go ahead and do it. I am so glad I did! I did the complete routine from the very start and saw pretty good results after about 2 weeks. I kept going through gradually upping the bp dose and after about 4 months, my acne was 95% clear. Clear as in almost zero spots. At that point I couldn't keep up with the routine (laziness)and now I use the purpose soap, bp gel and moisturizer every other day. I still fluctuate between 90%-95% clear after cutting back, but that's 90-95% better than what I was.
Pros:
not too many...
