Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It feels good on your face.
Cons:
My face broke out worse after using this product dilligently.
I really didn't like this product. It made my face worse. When I signed up they automatically charge your account monthly and send product monthly; which I didn't realize. However, it was easy to cancel with just a phone call. I would never use this product again though.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Proactive solution (scrub, toner, lotion)smells good and feels good to touch. Not greasy, absorbs quickly.
Cons:
You are in big trouble if you have SENSITIVE skin or allergic to benzol peroxide, as I am. I tried to use it consistently, as advertized, but after about three days (twice a day use) my skin turned red, became irritated and started to breakout more.
I could never clear my face completly of zits or able to use Proactiv for an extended period of time.

Ive been using pro active like everyone else, and it worked for a while, but ive been breakin out lately. So last night I went to wal mart and bought zapzyt, clean and clear oil sheets, and a neutrogena bar of acne soap. This morning when I woke up, ALL the redness was gone, and the pimples were nearly gone. I cant wait to see the results of these products in the future. TRUST ME PEOPLE, IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Easy to use, gentle on sensitive skin, money back guarantee
Cons:
Can run out quickly, a little expensive
I love this treatment. I'm 22 and I've used tons of different things including prescriptions of Differin and Tetracycline, also ProActiv and Dan's regimen. Clinique has worked the best for me. It hasn't completely cleared up my skin, but it is a major improvement from what it was. It makes my skin very soft and has gotten the oil under control. The pimples that I do still get are easily covered and usually just around the time of my period. I run out of the BP lotion about every month, but the rest of the line lasts quite awhile. I would highly recommend these products to anyone with stubborn acne. I wish I would have found it sooner before wasting my money on prescriptions and over the counter junk. Try it!
