Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
I am still breaking out around my monthly and have issues with this...after spending $46/mo on this - I would hope it works no matter what my hormones are doing! The cost is too much - however, I've never had such clear skin; so it's worth it!
I wish I could afford it all the time!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Worked Excellent for Approx. 2 months.
Cons:
Eventually caused worse problems than my original.
After 2 mos. of success, my skin started compesating for the drying effects of the benzoyl peroxide and starting making to much oil from beneath. I now have this frustrating rare combination of clogged pores but dry skin on my cheeks and forehead which is where I had good complexion until now. I never had cysts(I think that is what they are considered) or actual whiteheads until now and my skin is worse than when I started a couple months back. I am blaming this product officially now as I see quite a few others with the same effects.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It works for a while but then it seems not to be working.
Cons:
I dont know if evryone should use the product.
All the people on the commercial of proactive are all so confident. But then when it's your turn to try it, you don't know if you bleive what they're saying or not. At first when i bought the product i thought it would really work. I'm kind of disapointed with the results since its been atleast 3 months in a row ive been using it constantly and my face seems to be clearing up but im actually not even sure if it really is. I'm going to continue using it for a couple more months and hope my face clears up. But, if it doesn't I'm going to go see a dermatoligist. Now to all of you out there, if proactive doenst seem to work after a cpiple of months, don't hesitate go and see a dermotoligist!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Caused burning, redness and stinging within the first few hours of application. I appear to be allergic to 10% BP but not 2.5%. If you begin having any of these symptoms, I recommend discontinuing use!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
it smells good
Cons:
benzoyl peroxide
One day after I used it, my skin got flaky, irritated, red, poofy, itchy, super-dry, and I felt like I was sunburned for 10hours!! ugh...and i thought it would work for my acne. I only used it for two weeks and I stopped. I'm returning it.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
This product is awesome!!! I've been using it for 5 months now and I'm completely clear. I've tried so many things and this is the only one that worked for me. Use it with Dan's program about the benzoyl peroxide.
Cons:
To bad it doesn't get rid of the scars.
I definitly recommend it. Works great on asian skins. I got it from Costco.
Pros:
It works for the most part - however, it seems when I reach my monthly; it doesn't work as well - may be something with my hormones though! I love the clean feeling and time-released medication...
