Pros:
Awesome product! It goes an smoothly and dries beautifully. I have been getting a significantly fewer number of pimples. It's been helping me get my acne under control.
Cons:
If you start with too much, it will dry out your skin. Start out slowly as the regime recommends and be sure to moisturize!
This product is amazing and lasts a long time!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
the cleanser is really useful!
Cons:
It doesn't keep my skin less oily like it says it will.. but then again, I still haven't found a product that makes my face less oily. This one is probably the best...
I've used it for over a year, and my face improved A LOT. Though, I wouldn't say that it works for everyone, because that's not true.... but I can say that it worked well for me. The product doesn't sting me anymore, so I guess my face has adjusted to it..? =s is that good? ah well,.... anyway, my face is not completely cleared, but close enough =) (just some stupid scars left ><)

Cons:
it dries out my face
i have used it for 2 years and i think it sucks. If i use it for more than a week it dries out my face so bad and it burns, but i still have the same gross zits on my face. it kinda worked in the begining but now it doesnt and dries out my face right away and the zits are still there

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Less harsh than the 5% & 10% BP formulas that are mostly what you find in the stores. So much less expensive than the stuff at the stores.
Cons:
None. It has discolored my pillowcase, but any BP product would. I recommend buying a cheap pillowcase.
Love it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
using the face mask as spot treatment overnight works most of the time.
Cons:
it did not make any difference in my acne and i continued to get breakouts.
waste of money and time.
December 20, 2007
Pros:
the result are great at the beginnning
Cons:
after 2 months your clean and beautful face do a 360 with unexpected breakouts
good product for a moment. be carefully and have knowledge of how long pro active will take effect and stop working. Make sure you have a quick back up product to clear up new breakouts that form after pro active stop working. Right now im suffering from scars that pro active caused.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Cleared up acne pretty well at first
Cons:
My skin got really dry and flaky; stopped using it for a few months, and when I started again it did NOTHING!
My acne got worse than it had ever been after I restarted the Proactiv. It was no longer effective for me. It makes some people's skin very dry and flaky. It can become ineffective over time, but it works really well for many people. It worked for me all through high school and some college, but after my acne cleared a little I switched to something else which ended up not working at all so I switched back. It's definately WORTH A TRY before going to a prescription.
Pros:
works at first, leave skin feeling clean and great smell
