Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
None
I love this product. I seriously question the validity of all the negative reviews that have been posted to this site. Acne treatments are not like anti-biotics -- you will not become "immune" to them. Furthermore, if you've experienced severe swelling or redness, then you're likely ALLERGIC to BP. An allergy is no reason to dissuade others from using a product -- i.e. "this is a bad product because I had an allergic reaction to it." It's not a bad product, it's simply that you're unable to use it due to an ALLERGY.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Acne product that works.
I use Proactiv only at night, because when I use it 2 times a day, It dries my skin a lot and it starts breaking out even more. I use Olay Regenerist in the morning and my skin is like a baby skin. I love this product. If you break out while using proactiv that means you need a powerful moisturiser to moisturise your skin, because Benzoyl Peroxide will dry your skin out. But if you use a good moisturiser in the morning before make up, you will not break out.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
Clears up some acne when used with clenser and toner
Cons:
Stops working if you skip one day, causes small bumps on face, disrupts bacteria and Ph of face and in winter dries out skin tremendously, very small bottle that didn't last long
This is not a miracle cure for acne even if you use it in a regimen. Those of us with hormonal acne still break out with it. Also, it gave my skin a lot of redness that, although would eventually fade, was annoying to deal with. Even though i used it faithfully, i would still always have new acne bumps to deal with, especially on my cheeks. It seemed to have upset the oil balance on my face. Now that i haven't used BP regimen in over a month, the agravatting pimples on my cheeks are gone, in their place are small milia on my forehead from the BP. I do not recommend this product because of it's potential health hazards. It is currently on the FDA's list of products that they have not evaulated as either safe or unsafe, due to studies that suggest BP is a tumor causing agent. Also, just to let everyone know, cosmetic/face care companies never have to have their products evaluated by FDA. So watch out and don't use BP more than you have to until its true effects are known.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Works fast.
Cons:
When you first put it on there might be a few reddish spots on your face, but they go away within 20 minutes.
I just used it once, and there's already a noticeable reduction in blemishes. I mean, it's not completely gone, but at least I know it's working. At the rate this is going my face should be clear in no time.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Great value. Consistency makes it easier to smooth on than On The Spot. It works!
Cons:
I've tried hard but I can't think of any.
This works! At least it has for me. In thirty years struggling with mild adult acne, my skin has never looked this good. As someone commented earlier, I just hope Dan keeps on making and selling this gel. I did try the Neutrogena On the Spot cream, and it does work, just as Dan said it would, but it was too thick and dried out too quickly, so I couldn't get a thin smooth layer all over. Dan's gel is far superior.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
It does what it says it does. Clears and prevents acne, and thats exactly what it did for me! Then I ordered a bunch more for my brother and friends. It really doesn't irritate the skin as much as other BP's, and it works perfectly under moisturizer
Cons:
Can't think of any.
I just hope Dan inc. keeps producing this product... Try it yourself and follow the regimen CAREFULLY, my first attempt I failed miserably because I used too much BP in the beginning, which caused me to avoid BP for a couple years. If you actually follow the regimen, theres a high chance that this will work for you!

Product used: Brevoxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (4% or 8%) Creamy Wash)
I have been using this product for about 3 days and it has helped. I resently tried proactive solution and it completely cleared my skin up. For some odd reason if i use a product for too long it just stops working so I switched to this. I have tried it b4 and it almost completely cleared my skin up but, for some reason my mom told me not to use it anymore. So I stopped. Now I use it agian. There has been some redness but the redness is gradually reducing. I definatly reccomend this product but use a gel or lotion of some sort.

I can't say I have found any pros to this product. It's not the cure all I saw on the television and I have been using it consistently.
Cons:
expensive for the average kid. Doesn't work.
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I'm very disappointed and plan to look for a new product.
Pros:
-Clears skin
-Reasonably priced
-Easy and quick to use
