Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
causes scaring and often leaves red marks that can last up to 3 years. the red marks are almost guarenteed if you have more than moderate acne. only works on light acne
incredibly expensive
good for light acne, but severe acne ALWAYS gets more and more eritated. and i have like half my school is useing this so i know this to be fact.
i recommend just getting acne soap and a 5% BP that you put derectly on the zit, and keep hair out of ur face thats how i got rid of mine. but proactiv doubled my acne in a matter of days

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Aquagel)
Pros:
works effectively if used correctly
Cons:
can cause irritation nd peeling
ok if u want this product to work correctly u have 2 use consistenly day nd night, be very gentle when lathering on the skin, and i noticed the longer u lather the more of a possibily of reddening or iirritating rash, so lather for 20-30 sec, plus i use cetaphil daily mosturizer, which i think is the best beacause it hydrates all day nd is non-comedemic, no fragnance nd jusst the best go cop it! nd if going in the sun use a good sun block like olay spf-15 , its non comedemic so it will not block pores--hope this helps like it helped me!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
makes your skin feel very clean & soft

it just calms down the acne OCCASIONALLY but it never completly gives you the result youve wanted.
if you have severe or moderate acne, not worth it all at, false hope :(
if you have light acne then mabey this is for you

Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
It works! Natural ingredients, free sample products with order,fast shipping
Cons:
Use it up before the year is over or it starts to smell a little bit "off" due to natural preservatives... yes, the bottle lasts me a whole year!
I've had acne for 30 years and this product is the best. Now I only get blemishes when hormone levels fluctuate, and they disappear in just a day or two using Carley's. My teenage son loves it too!

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Seems to work well. Most cleansers cause my skin irritation but this one hasn't thus far.
Cons:
Toner is in too small of a bottle
Will keep using

Product used: Dr. Sheffield's (Clear Zit Acne Treatment Cream)
Pros:
Dries away big or small pimples fast. Can quickly clear areas of acne easily. Smooth easily applied cream to face, and it works like a charm. It is also VERY cheap to buy! No joke, this stuff works better and faster than the expensive stuff!!
Cons:
It does have a mild burning feeling at first, and if used too much without a moisturizer, can irritate the skin and make it red. In my opinion, I'd rather have a temporary redness that I can touch up with powder than acne that looks gross!
BEST ACNE PRODUCT EVER. It's FAST, it WORKS, and it is very CHEAP TO BUY!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
affordable
Cons:
it contains no soap but feels soapy after usingall three products.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
As long as I use it consistently, my skin stays mostly clear. I still break out from time to time, but it's usually when I slack on my regimen. My skin feels fresh and clean after use, I love it.
Cons:
My skin can get a little dried out. Moisturizer solves this. Only real problem I have is that toner runs out a lot more quickly than steps 1 and 3 and the store I buy the kit from doesn't sell the toner on its own. They likely do this on purpose.
Works great, well worth the low price.
Pros:
it makes ur skin soft
