Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Cons:
dries out skin and acne multiplies and multiplies
I at first bought the first two steps and used those what happened was they worked together to keep my skin from breaking out any worse. Then I decided to buy the moisturizer because I thought that would make a differance and would clear skin up. No, that was the last thing it did, it dried up my skin and gave me breakouts in places on my face where i had never had them before. The product isnt really worth the money

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
Better than any other acne product I have used in the past 15yrs. I am 35 years old and have tried every acne product. I have been a faithful proactiv user, this is much better, even more than that, it is the best!!!!!!!
Cons:
None. The only con is that they should take the rest of the other so called acne treatments off the market and replace it with this...
It's the best, my skin looks great, I couldn't say this before. I had a love and hate relationship with my face, yes proactiv did work for me, but only 50%, it cleared the pimples but left the marks and did nothing for my blackheads. This product addresses everything. I love it!!!!

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
the 10% benzolyl peroxide cream is quite good but it didnt get rid of my acne completely and stopped doing much after a while. The toner is good cos it makes skin less oily.
Cons:
it didnt work!! theres so much hype about it but it did not work for me and i am VERY disappointed. it makes your skin extremely dry in the 1st week or two which can actually make you face look worse.
this product may or may not work for you. it didnt work for me and i was very disappointed by this.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Clears acne, makes skin feel fresh and smooth, nice tingle
Cons:
Skin feels dry
I've been using this product for years because it actually gets rid of my acne. Before using it I had horrible skin, and now my skin is significantly clearer. The only problem is if you wash your face twice a day as stated in the directions, it will end up drying your face out to the point where it eventually becomes flaky, which is obviously a bad thing. To avoid this I just use the product once a day and as a result don't have any of the dry skin problems while still having no acne. Just use it once a day and you'll be fine. This is one of the better products out there.

October 5, 2009
Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
clears acne, pleasant tingle, makes face feel clean, removed make-up, bring pimples to head
Cons:
tingle is actually bad for you- irritating skin. left face with blotchy large, red pores after 3.5 weeks of use. smells awful, then you get used to it. burns when you get anywhere near eyes
At first this product was a miracle, but after using 2 times a day, my skin just became oilier to compensate for the extreme drying of this product and I already had oily skin. The blotchy, painful, large red pores were awful. I would not recommend using this product.
