Pros:
Makes my skin clear in a few days. Cheap for the price you pay. Lotion has SPF.
Cons:
Over use can ruin your skin. Lotion can really only be used in the day.
It's been a long time since I've used products with benzoyl peroxide in it so it will dry out my skin if I over use it too early. I've learned to use the product every other night and with a toner to get rid of the dry skin. My kit came with a free spot treatment so I use that when I feel a pimple developing and it gets rid of it quickly. On the nights I don't use the benzoyl peroxide lotion I use a toner and moisturizer to rehydrate my skin and give it a break from the drying effects of the benzoyl peroxide. I would not recommend this product for people with overly sensitive skin. Many people will make the mistake of using this product twice a day, everyday. That will only quickly dry out your skin and make your acne worse than make it better.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
leaves skin feeling so soft after all steps
Cons:
it stopped working for me after a few months
I loved this product the moment I tried it. My entire family noticed a difference. My skin has a few zits here and there but during certain times of each month my acne gets worse. After the second day of using this product I seriously had no need to put on foundation or powder on my skin, thats how great it looked. But after a few months I wasnt as commited to the regime because my skin was looking great. Now I need to get back on track but its not working like before. Maybe my skin became used to it.

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
The soap made my skin feel squeaky clean and I like that the ingredients are all natural.
Cons:
Within days of starting this product I had terrible cystic acne on my chin, which I never had before.
This seems to work for a lot of other people and I'm really disappointed that it did not work for me. I think the oils and shea butter clogged my pores something fierce. Although the website and the direction page say to keep using the products for a minimum of a month, I simply couldn't sit idly by and watch my chin get worse and worse, not with wedding season in full swing anyway. I switched back to Dan's regimen and am almost 100% clear.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
No horrible smell, works beautifully, spreads nicely.
Cons:
Only con is that you have to order it online!
I love this. It's the best BP I have ever used. The best thing is that it doesn't smell horrible like other BP products. And it works like a charm. I will definitely order more once I run out. :)

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
it cleans your face and makes you feel refreshed and you can feel it working which i think feels good on your face
Cons:
it only cleared some of my zits (3 out of 15)
if you have mild acne its 4 you but it you have lots of zits i would get retinA or benzaclin
those are the acne products ive used so far tht work but it will break out you face at 1st... then clear em up in a few weeks
Pros:
Works within a couple of days, notice a difference immediatly
