Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) Aquagel)
Pros:
Gets rid of spots, mild acne
Cons:
Harsh on skin
Will leave red marks if you have pale/sensitive skin
I think there should be a warning somewhere stating that benzoyl peroxide is not as suitable for those with very pale skins - as I think although it does get rid of spots, it is harsh and leaves lingering red marks behind

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
This stuff is great and when used with the regimen has produced great results for me. I use it with Neutrogena Sensitive Skin wash and Neutrogena Helahty Skin Face location with AHA. My skin hasn't been this good for years.
Cons:
Does bleach fabrics a bit, especially bed sheets I find, but not a huge deal.
I recomnmend it!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Cleansed my skin very well; felt fresh and light after using the three-step process.
Cons:
Never cleared up my acne. Had a tendency to dry my skin out around my menstual cycle.
Still looking for the miracle drug... I began to use Proactiv after seeing the great results my brother got from the system. I was really excited to try it after having a myriad of over-the-counter and prescription acne medications fail miserably. The results really did not live up to the hype. My skin felt cleaner, but the pimples never went away. I expected my acne to get worse and eventually clear, but it just never happened. I have been using the system for around nine months, and there has been relatively no change. I feel like, for me, it was a waste of money. It's quite a let-down because I had such high hopes of finding SOMETHING that worked on my skin. I do not have severe acne by any means. My acne has always been moderate, but stubborn. Proactiv just did not do the trick. Best luck to those who try it. May you have better luck than I did...

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
i think it clears acne? i used it and im pretty sure it does and im thinking of getting it again but i heard about acnexus and people are saying that doesnt work and they are saying proactiv doesnt work so i dont no what to do i just dont want acne!
Cons:
it really dries out your face, so i stopped using the lotion as much which probably didnt help the drying completely. it costs so much and you run out kinda quick.
its a decent product but if theres something that works better then i would love to know...?

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
A little effective, not sticky, smooth.
Cons:
Doesn't work unless the pimples are really big, but the pimple just gets slightly smaller.
Don't buy it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The Sulfuric cleaner worked well for quick touch ups
Cons:
Inaffective treatement
I used Proactive for over 6 months, with steady use before I gave up. The problem with Proactive, and it is even proven with the infomercials, is that it creates layers on the skin, and so it gets harder and harder for the medicine to penetrate, and be effective. Secondly, and even Jessica Simpson backed this up, that you have to keep using it after the Acne is gone, even she said so, so you must keep buying and buying the kit. If you don't, your acne will come back. It is a good idea, and good start to a great product, but it has its flaws
Pros:
Works really well. Spreads well. No noticeable fragrance. Inexpensive, except for the shipping.
