Cons:
does not get rid of blemishes. after the pimples subside, it leaves red marks on face
i've tried other products including proactive. those just make me break out like crazy! this is the only product which makes me not worry the following morning that i have a big zit on my face...so even though it does not clear out blemishes, i use it still because at least i'm not developing any zits anymore

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It works!!!
Cons:
Bleaches your towels. I've gone to white towels for my face.
I've used many many products and none of them worked as well even the medications. Proactive worked so well, I have people stop me on the street to tell me how nice my skin looks. I'm over 50 and have oily T Zone skin causing adult acne which is a real drag. My trick is to use the scrub only at night with just the toner and lotion morning and night. That way it doesn't dry your skin so much. It works for me. I've been using it for over 2 years.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
It is the only thing that has worked for me and I've tried EVERYTHING! It doesn't irritate my skin at all. I now have 0 acne and my skin is soft and smooth!
Cons:
I can't think of any.
Used as part of Dan's regimen, this gel can't be beat! It is such a relief to be rid of acne after years of trying a gazillion different products/regimens.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Works Great!!
Cons:
You must be consistant with the routine!!!
I was 30 years old...never had clear skin. Not severe acne just spots and it was so annoying! For once I wanted to just wake up and be ready to face the world before caking on make-up! My face cleared up in a couple of weeks after strickly following the routine!! GO for it! Excercise is great too! My dermatologist put me on several perscriptions including tetracycline that made me whoozy...now I'm drug free and clear!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
umm u can now get it at the mall. FOR THOSE WHO WANT IT.
Cons:
man o man. I thought maybe it was just me. But i read all the others comments and i see that its not just me. I broke out every single day with proactiv. I got at least two new pimples and i used it as directed. I HATE IT!
I DUNNO IF IT REALLY WORKS FOR OTHER , BUT IT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME. get a free trail and cross ur fingers.I even got the rapid removers and the mask.. threw them all away!

Pros:
Reduces the number of spots as well as their size. Reduces oil production on skin.
Cons:
You have to chew the pills, not just swallow them and they are chalky and odd tasting. It takes a while for it to work. If you already have somewhat dry skin, this may not be a good product for you.
It worked alright for me. After 4 days, I felt my skin clearing up quite a bit, then it broke out terribly around week 2. I stuck with it, and now I am in week four and my skin is looking better. I get less pimples,and the ones that do pop up are small and go away quickly. This product is good for women with hormonal acne. I get bad breakouts when I'm stressed and right before I get my period. Well, I just survived midterms week in college with no new pimples! People need to realize that this product is NOT a substitute for good skincare. You still need to wash regularly and avoid touching and picking your skin. Also, the cream that this stuff comes from is too drying. I didn't use it.
Pros:
i don't break out when i use this product
