Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
It works, whiteheads disappeared faster, noticeable brightening effect on my skin, Females only need about a tube for two months, lightens melasma spots (aka lucy liu's freckles)
Cons:
It take times (like after your second period), scar still apparent but I'll give them another month, burning or stinging feeling when applied but like I said give it all time, shiny t-zone (?... could be the moisturizer...).
Ahhh... what to say. I know most of us want prefect skin (like tomorrow) but this isn't Proactiv (by the way, when I stopped using Proactiv.. they just came back!). But it also has to do with your hormones. Suggestions? Get good sleep every night, eat healthier and just do as the directions say and you'll be on the road to clearer skin! (which I haven't done the following since college started...) Oh yeah, some AHA will help battle dryness. Oh and for those who keep complaining about their skin when they only went into the regimen for a few good weeks. This is like your body getting use to it, so at least milk it up and utilize the money you paid for. it's worth investing into in the long run if you just give it try.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
It doesn't dry quickly and goes on easy. New whiteheads go away extremely fast. I have a lot less acne then when I began.
Cons:
Will bleach your pillowcases and towels.
It gets the job done. I bought the starter kit and have seen amazing results in the first month. I saw improvement the first week, over the next two weeks I had the initial breakout, and then it just cleared up. Nothing I've ever been on before in my life has worked the way this has. I've got 3 whiteheads on my face right now. 4 weeks ago, I had around 20. My skin also has this nice, smooth look to it that I can't remember the last time my face had.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It seemed to give my skin a glow - but that might just be my imagination. Moisturiser with sunscreen has a great texture. I'm still using that now.
Cons:
Made my skin a lot worse than how it started off. Gave me huge painful pimples that scarred no matter whether I picked at them or not.
I used to have isolated break outs - this seemed to have accumulated all the break outs I would possibly have over a whole year and dumped it all on my skin in a month. The frustrating thing is that I used it exactly according to instrutions and never skipped a step. Since the first day I started using it, I started to break out in huge painful pus-filled pimples - one at a time initially and the final straw came when I had at least 8 of these pimples simultaneously. The day after I stopped using Proactiv and resumed my regular AHA facewash, these pimples started to heal up and it has been about a week now and my face is pimple-free. Except of course, I now have heaps of ugly scarring. Sigh. I was really hopeful and Proactiv really let me down.

Pros:
Worked great on my skin. I noticed immediate results within 1 week. My moderate acne that plauged me for years was entirely gone within a month and has not re-occurred for years.

Over-application results in extreme drying of skin.
Give it a try...

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Nothing. It did have some effect the 1st week i used it.
Cons:
Made my Acne even more WORSE
NOT RECOMMENDED. The ads will force you to buy it and might show some difference in the 1st week. But if you stop even for a day u can see the difference. Even after two months of patient usage, i can only see it getting worse for me.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Larger size, cheaper than the Neutrogena one.
Cons:
It is making my acne worse. For a while I thought my skin was just having a temporary flare up. But I think this product just isn't working with my skin or something.
I hope it gets better but for the time being, it's making the acne so much worse.
October 9, 2007
Pros:
Sometimes clears up pimples.
Cons:
Other times it just seems to aggravate and make acne even worse.
Probably just case by case, depending on your skin type and the problems that present themselves.
Pros:
celebrities promising your face will clear up
