Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Cons:
It only mitigates but does not clear my face. I have finished 1 full package. It did not clear my face. After a week from I stopped using it after about 3 months or so acne started coming back on my face.
Give it a try. I paid 19 bucks.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It's easy to use, and works SOMETIMES
Cons:
It dries out my skin, It's not worth what you pay, It's harsh on sensitive skin, it seems to not work during the summer, and makes my skin even oilier!
...It sucks. My opinion is, since i'm a teenager, is that it doesn't work for us. I've read some reviews on here, and it seems to work for older people. It may work for them, but not for teenagers...

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
I'm 51 years old and this is the only product that has completely rid my face (and body) of acne. Even those tiny bumps under my skin are gone! Just soft and smooth. I love it and will NEVER go without it.
Cons:
None.
I would hate to live without this product -- or the soap that comes with it. One BIG plus about the soap... no more soap scum on my shower door and walls... have not had to scrub the shower in 4 years... just clean and shiny.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
this treatment really actually cleared up my skin in less then 5 days, although my skin is relatively dry from the lotion it eventually was rehydrated, my skin is smoother, less red,feels very clean, and most of my acne is gone, all within five days.
Cons:
AcneFree isi very powerful an dseverely driend my skin out in the beginning, it also smells bad but people who would take the smell over the overall effectivness of the roduct are wrong, it also did't completely take my acne away, which i had hoped.
Basically, i've tried so many products, Murad, Proactiv, Clearisil, and even the Neutrogena Wave and found this the most effective. even though the smell is pretty bad and in the beginning is very dring to the skin, it really works. I have very sensitive skin and so it is really scary for me to try a new product because all the ones i've used irritate my skin, but i just used the normal AcneFree recommended to me by a friend and just followed the easy instructions, within 5 days my skin was almost cleared and softer then ever. For those of you who have sensitive or norma skin with mild acne i recommend the normal kit, and those of u who have severe acne i recommend th eSevere Acne Free Kit, i hope i was of some help.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
To be honest the only pro was getting my shipment pretty fast
Cons:
The portions are horrible, the smell is annoying, the cleanser feels uncomfortable to place on your face.
I bought my product back in 2001 and I used it for months to almost a year. Trust me washing "religiously" and being "patient" has nothing to do with this product working or not. To be frank this product doesn't work. I broke out worse. Now I went from Moderate acne to Severe instantly using this product and still am struggling with it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Clears skin up for the first week or two.
Cons:
just about everything. it dried my skin out really bad and it makes me break out so easily. my acne wasent that bad until it started this product, now it is horrid and in completely random places. also i have dark spots.
i highly DO NOT reccomend anyone to use this product.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
Worked well at first instantly clear skin!
Cons:
It just stopped doing anything for me.
Not for everyday use is what I would say...better for spot treatment
Pros:
It mitigates moderate to severe acne on my face. As long as I use it it keeps acne in control.
