Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Cons:
Bleachs some fabrics. Lost 1 shirt in a months time. I rubbed my face pretty hard with the shirt mid-day to remove some dry skin. I just use some of my Diff. money to go buy Polo shirts now! No worries,acne's expensive to deal with. Get used to it!
Dan's got this figured out. I bought 4 tubes of his BP on the first order after reading his "treatment past." My story's very similar. He's been through it all. You can't make that all up. The cleanser is somewhat like Cetaphil...but has some differences. Personally, I'll continue to buy it because it works as well if not better than anything else AND to support Dan's further research on acne. Anyone who hasn't been through it can't help as much. I hope he's a millionaire from this someday.

Pros:
N

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Works well to clear up breakouts, especially the mask.
Cons:
you must use it twice a day, everyday until your face doesn't breakout anymore which could be a long time fro when you started.
Proactiv is a very good product. The mask is the best product because it dries up blemishes overnite. Anytime I have a breakout, I sleep with the mask on and the next morning, the pimple is gone. I love Proactiv so much that I now manage one of the locations in Georgia.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
Made pimples go away faster than most other brands. First year of highschool I had a lot of pimples on my forehead, some guy came up to me and recommemended that I use this stuff..although it was embarassing that he did it helped.
Cons:
Skin does get dry. I found that if you put too much on a pimple, when the cream drys it turns white.
Good vanishing cream. Use it often to get rid of pimples and don't put much cream on each pimple. Rubbing a bit will do.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The refining mask works well for clearing up zits fast.
Cons:
It dried up my face,&I felt like I was getting more defined wrinkles. Also,I'm hesitant to use a product that bleaches clothing. I can't to imagine what the reaction is on the skin. I just don't trust it. Not a good product for sensitive skin
Good for some; not for others. However, the whole bleaching thing freaks me out. Would you pour chlorox on your skin?

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
AFFORDABLE, AFFORDABLE AND DID I SAY AFFORDABLE
Cons:
I run out of Toner to quickly I think I am using to much.
Acne Free works for me and when it says 3 days it really means three days. I love the product. I have tried every thing for my acne and when i say everything I mean it I tried Amnesteem, Tetrocycline, Every wash on the market, and i believe every antibiotic and none worked. I must admit Proacive did work but it dried me out ridiculously and left me flaky. Acne free leaves me with a matte finish alllllll day long and doesnt dry me out while doing it I love the product and would love to be a spokeman. And if you have severe acne they have a new severe acne kit

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
affordable, and smells okay. usually works well the first couple of days you get it.
Cons:
your skin will most likely get immune to the benzoyl peroxide in this medicine, and it wont react as fast to the use of the product. the more you use it, the less it'll work.
basically, the directions on the back, are not useful, you should use it the way you see works best for you.
and it doesnt always work, its not very consistent.
it helps get rid of the marks, eventually.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It didn't work very consistently at first; I definitely got results right away, but after a few weeks, I started to get pimples again. After three months though, my skin was clear. I've been using it for six months now and don't get pimples anymore.
Cons:
It doesn't seem to work the same for everyone. It can dry out your skin a bit, so it's wise to also get the moisturizing lotion. Also kind of expensive.
It worked very well for me (and I had moderate acne before using Proactiv) but by reading these reviews I can tell it isn't the same for everyone. Try it for a month or two and see how it goes.
Pros:
Wonderful. FAR better product than crusty/white "On The Spot." Love that it's clear & absorbs in 15 min. Was using Differin with no ins. coverage paying over $100 a tube. Dan's BP had it's way with my nasal blackheads that the Diff . couldn't touch.
