Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Give it time....
Cons:
None at all
I've tried everything on the market for my teenage daughter and nothing helped, in fact it got worse.When we found this product it was the best day for her. We new it would take time to work, I mean we're realistic about any product. In 2 weeks her skin was 80% better and in a month or so it was competly clear and has stayed that way. She is one happy girl.
I use the soap for my face also and there is never any drying. Wonderful products. I'm trying other products now. Why not!
Thank you, thank you.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Does not irritate my skin.
Cons:
Doesn't work! Texture is gritty.
Well I don't have the very pus-filled acne which is surface acne. I have the kind that is mostly under my skin and is hard to treat so this stuff DOESN'T WORK!!! If you're skin is tough like mine ask your doctor for a perscription.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
All natural, non abrasive, non irritating, leaves your skin flawless and keeps the oiliness away for all day and night!
Cons:
ABSOLUTELY NONE!!
After spending thousands of dollars on retin a, antibiotics, dermatologists, plastic surgeons as well as Obagi products (the cleanser alone is over $45.00!) I came across this product by mistake while desperately searching for something for my 18 year old son who had all of a sudden broken out severely with cystic acne. None of the things the doctor gave for the last 2 years worked for he or my 16 yr. old daughter. I'm ecstatic I found this. After only a week, BOTH teens have cleared up by 90% on their faces with NO scarring and have finally gotten their confidence back! I started using it and have noticed a HUGE difference in my hyperpimentation as well as my face no longer being so oily! My husband noticed instantly!Now I can save all the money I wasted for the last 4 yrs and put it to good use on our new house. The soap is AWESOME. Thank you Carly's for saving our skin in the Cortes home! I've suggested it to friends and family! I'll always be back for more!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
My skin was completely smooth. There were no bumps, no red-ness, and I had a healthy glow to my skin. It felt really good going on too.
Cons:
It took it a little while to work. I can't remember exactly how long, but I used it consistently and I got great results. However, as soon as I stopped using it I broke out pretty badly.
It's actually been almost two years since I've used proactive, and I only stopped using it because it was a bit too pricey for me at the time. I just remember that while using it my skin looked better than it ever had. I was thinking of trying it again, but I've read alot of bad reviews on it here lately. So, now I'm kind of afraid. I actually started something new. It's Patricia Wexler's Anti-acne starter kit. I got it at Bath and Body Works. I've been using it for about three weeks now and it seems to really be working. The good thing about it is that it's supposed to also fight aging. It's not drying at all, and feels good going on. I think I might stick to this, hopefully it will keep working.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Works quickly for me.
Cons:
benzoyl peroxide kind of makes skin burn when you put it on.
Well, i started using it a week ago and i can start to tell the difference. All the little bumps and redness are gone on my forehead. This doesn't work on everyone but i recommend you to try it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Clears up skin QUICKLY!
Cons:
Can irritate skin.
Seriously, the recommended use is WAY TOO MUCH! If you want this product to work effectively (like it does for me), only use it once per day AT THE MOST.
I tried using it 2 times per day as recommended at first, but my skin became itchy, dry and flaky. I stopped using it until my skin went back to normal, then began again using it only once per day. It has worked amazingly ever since! :-) Hope this helps!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Prevents big pimples. I still get tiny ones from time to time, but it's nothing compared to before. Feels great on skin and the fragrance is actually very pleasant, in my opinion.
Cons:
Not sold in stores D=
Gosh, I couldn't possibly say enough nice things about this product. It, along with Dan's cleanser and moisturizer, has saved my life. My skin looks 95% better than before. I still get a tiny pimple here and there, but it's really nothing to complain about. This is truly the only product that has worked for me. Thank you, Dan, for developing this amazing product! I'm SO glad I found your site! **Just note that it will take some time to see improvements. I know how discouraging it can be, but believe me, you'll be glad you stuck with it in the end.**

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Controls oiliness and definitely helped control my acne. Plus if you usually get free perks when you make a purchase.
Cons:
It's a bit price, but when you start adding up a face wash, toner, and moisturizer at the store it's actually not that bad.
I'm a 21 year old female who's had acne since the 5th grade. It's never been sever (no cysts or anything like that) but I have consistent black/white heads and bumps all over my cheeks, nose, and forehead. I have used everything under the sun and had just gotten off using DDF for Acne. Clinique JUST started this line and I wanted to give it a shot. Note to other members - there are many 3 step face products by Clinique. Make sure you are reviewing the Acne System. I noticed a big change in my face. In the winter I used Neutrogeana's Combiantion Oil Free Moisturizer following the 3 steps b/c my face did get a little dry. But other than that I use all 3 steps and it works wonderfully on my face.PLUS I signed up to be a member (which is free) when I made my purchase and I got some great free Clinique products. YEY! It not only controlled my acne but my oily face as well and I really do love it!!!
Pros:
Works great..made my skin clear in just 2 weeks!!..
