Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Cons:
It bleached my clothing and pillow case
Overall, I found this product to be amazing! Within days of my first application my acne started to clear up. Albeit, my skin isn't crystal clear, it has definitely done an excellent job in helping clear it up. It does have a tendency to leave a milky film after application; however, if you use this at night it shouldn't be a problem. My only problem with this product, is the bleaching of my clothing and pillow. Other than that, I can't complain. It did exactly what was expected!

Leaves your face feeling great. Great smell. CLEAR SKIN. Even seems to reduce wrinkles.
Cons:
None.
Get this and try it religiously, as the directions say, for 6 weeks and get back on here and write your own review! This is amazing stuff...will not go without it, ever! I am 43 and use it...it's great. I love the way it makes my skin feel!!!
My 19 yo daughter is the one with the moderate acne...we tried a lot of things, but this is the only thing that completely cleared up her skin!! Try it, you WON'T be dissappointed!

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
It works.
Cons:
Little pricey? This was the only thing I could think of honestly even if they charged more I would still buy it.
I've tried almost every single product on the market and FINALLY that's right FINALLY, the cure is in this product. To give you an overview of my condition I usually get pimples generally overnight and rarely during the day on and around my nose. My nose is usually red at times. This product has reduced the pimples to almost nothing at all and the redness is clearing up. The color isn't perfect but hey I'll take it! Rarely get a pimple over night now and during the day nothing at all. Do yourself a favor and at least try it. I think Carley's has a new life long customer.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Spot Treatment)

Out of everything I've ever tried including prescriptions, this worked the absolute BEST!

Drys your face out a little but that just means it's working.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
skin felt smooth but did not look luminous at all
Cons:
drying, flaking, itchy, breakouts
Not worth the money! Over complicated process makes your face feel like a mask. If anytthing made my pimples worse. Took over a week when I left a pimple alone and just applied the lotions/masks/toner/cleanserand still not completely cleared up!
I even bought the moisture plus...still really really drying.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
skin was mostly smooth, but did not help cystic acne whatsoever.
Cons:
reparing treatment dried my skin out if i used it too much, even with moisturizer. didn't work after using it for 6 or 7 weeks overall. too much work every morning and every night.
Didn't work for my type of skin or acne, but I have read about it working for others. I think it's worth a shot if you've got the money and time to use it, but I wouldn't recommend it for clearing up those deep, under the skin pimples that last a whole week or two.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
It doesn't dry out skin, dries out blemishes in a few days.
Cons:
Doesn't really prevent future breakouts, or get rid of current ones all that fast. Basically just keeps your face from getting worse.
I've used this cream for about 3 years, and it hasn't done anything for my face, I just never changed because I never knew what else to use. I just stopped using it, and started using On A Clear Day, and it's already started to clear up my skin. I think this Neutrogena product might work if you have very mild acne, or just a few blemishes.
Pros:
Cheap and quick way to get rid and reduce acne
