Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
It didn't give me any good results. When you stop using it it gives yuor face more acne and even one of my friends said that she tried it and it didn't work for her. And it's so much work to put on all the three steps on. I do not reccomend it.
It does not work maybe it works for Kelly Clarkson maybe it'll work for you. If it does then congratulations but it did not work for me.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Got rid of my acne, and kept it under control
Cons:
3 Steps
Stopped working
I used this for about two years, and after about a year I started getting small breakouts and finally it got so bad that the AcneFree wasn't helping AT ALL. And now nothing seems to help. Works well but don't try to use it permanently.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I have been experimenting with acne products for 10+ years and this is the only one that has truly worked for me!
Cons:
It's a little pricey
*I split the monthly cost of $45 with my brother and we alternate who gets the package in the mail each month.
I always seemed to have a few monstrous zits that I was extremely self-conscious of. Since I started using Proactive three months ago I haven't had one single zit. My skin is sensitive so I only use the face wash 4-5 times per week, the lotion 3-4 times per week, and the toner about 2 times per week, otherwise my skin gets dry and irritated. I also received the sulfur face mask which I use once a week. It does a great job of reducing the appearance of pores on and around my nose.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Leaves skin feeling clean, affordable, wipes out pimples, y
Cons:
I wish it would heal acne scarring.
Bottom line: This product works! I swear I had the WORST acne in the history of acne. Im 19 years old and i've had acne since I was around 14 years old, non-stop. I've tried everything including Proactiv, which did not seem to work for me. But after using Acne Free for about 3 or 4 weeks CONSISTENTLY, my skin was almost completely clear of any pimples. Also, I love the fact that you can buy the big bottles of the product at Costco for only about $27 and it lasts for about 2 months.

Product used: Dr. Sheffield's (Clear Zit Acne Treatment Cream)
Pros:
I have only good things to say about the product.
Cons:
A little drying and redness from time to time.
I am 40 years old and thought that I would " outgrow" acne, truth is, I haven't. I have tried antibiotics, creams, pills, proactive, and several others to include acutane. None of them worked. I tried this five years ago, and have been acne clear with it, using it daily, along wih a moisurizer. I have shared it with only one friend, and her skin was worse than mine,and she is very happy with it too.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The refining mask does help if left on overnight, and the cleanser does a good job with exfoliating. The green tea moisturizer is good for the winter.
Cons:
If you skip any, watch out, and it seems to have quit working. It worked pretty good for a while and it seems like I have built up an immunity to it. The sulfur mask does help, but makes my face smell bad.
Use consistently and probably only good for minor acne. If you have a monster sprout up use the mask overnight and you will see a difference.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
my skin improved for the first 3 days the balckheads on my nose were gone
Cons:
my skin got worse, I've got pimples on my face at places I never use to have acne (sides of the face and under my mouth) and it dries my skin
will NEVER EVER buy this product again, it's a scam, it cost me a lot and it doesn't work for me. products over the counter works way better
Pros:
It had a really soothing scent and it felt really clean.
