Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Cons:
after like 4 days of consistent use my breakouts are being brought to the surface of face and showing a lot.
it is just like pro active. It has to bring out your breakouts and then get rid of them.
so far it is working and I am noticing after a week my breakouts are gone !

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
its time-realesed so when i put make up on it doesnt clog my pores. it dramatically reduces the redness and size of zits.
Cons:
my face is red for about 20 min after useing
this stuff rocks! i havent found anything close to this awesome! just make shure you get the orange system (severe acne system). it works better than the white system even if you dont have severe acne. and the terminator 10 is $5 and extra but it kills zits on the spot and is the absolute best part

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
i'm using the sensitive skin system once a day.i started seeing results in about two weeks.
Cons:
it hasn't stopped all my pimples from popping up, but there is a drastic s=change in the frequency of breakouts. the "hydrating" lotion is not very hydrating. usually i put that on, let it absorb, and then use my regular mosturizer.
it works, give it some time and you'll see that your breakouts are less severe. it won't prevent pimples from ever happening again, but it makes a difference.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
Quickly removes whiteheads, blackheads, oils on skin. Works every time.
Cons:
Stings a little, doesn't remove the "red bumps" acne unless you use it long enough.Not many people know how to use it correctly. Goes fast.
Works extremely well for removing whiteheads and blackheads. Use it long enough and it can clear up your face. I'm not even sure I'm using it properly because there are no directions on the bottle. I wash my face with soap, apply the oxy formula, wait about 30 seconds, and THOROUGHLY rinse it off. Overall: quickly removes acne, eventually clears up face.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I've started to use the repairing lotion as part of my routine with using cetaphyl cleanser and aveeno moisturizing lotion and it works well as a benzol peroxide treatment. When combined with the cleanser and the toner it really irritated my skin.
Cons:
I don't know why but this really didn't work for me. I went from having occasional pimples to full flown break outs. The cleanser irritates the skin especially if you scrub for 1-2 minutes as suggested. Just not a great product.
Made my skin worse. But the benzol peroxide works well when combined with other products.
Pros:
I got it real cheap, and the first couple of days I had no acne or breakouts.
