Product used: Carley's (Clear and Smooth Skin Treatment)
Pros:
The product works! I started with the regular strength, then moved up to the "industrial strength". It is easy to use in the shower, and has made my skin clear and smooth in just a few months. Excellent value for the dollar, all natural products.
Cons:
They shipped me wrong strength from order I placed, and responded within 45 minutes to my email, and told me to keep product and they were sending out the stronger product I had ordered, same day. Can't beat that for cust. service!
Affordable, (plus lots of free samples), effective, natural. It works! Buy it, Use it, and see for yourself. They have a no questions asked, no time limit money back guarantee, even including your shipping cost. What do you have to lose?

I was fortunate to stumble across this product a couple of years ago while perusing eBay. Finally, something I could spend my money on that wasn't the kind of old, processed junk you find on the shelves of stores. This has helped my acne tremendously, and works much better than Proactiv or any other "acne treatment system" that I have spent tons of money on. I also appreciate that all ingredients are naturally derived rather than

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Excellent consistency, Easily Applied, Gentle (as far as BP goes), Affordable, Very limited Fragrance, Goes on Clear and stays clear
Cons:
Shipping is expensive, the gel doesn't come out of the container consistently so I'm not really sure just how much two pumps is supposed to be
Having used various other forms of BP, I can say with confidence that this stuff blows every other BP product I've tried out of the water. I absolutely love the fact that it goes on clear and stays that way, other BP creams and gels I've tried have taken excessive amounts of time to rub in and then burned only to show up as white streaks later on. So before I got a hold of this, I could only use BP at night or when I wouldn't have to go out in public. While it does have your basic BP side effects, namely that it causes a little redness and drying, in comparison to other products it isn't bad at all. It didn't completely clear my acne though, even after being on it for 2 months, but it does help considerably and now that I've swapped my cleanser with a Sal Acid wash and my moisturizer with Aloe Gel the results are improving.

My acne wasn't that bad. I think it was just regular teenage pimples. I know a few girls who used this treatment and it worked AMAZINGLY, and their acne was way worse than mine, so I figured it would work on my "mild" acne HAHA I used it and saw results within about three weeks... then soon after that my face broke out worse than it ever had before. and it has never gotten better. I have spent my time since then trying to repair the damage it has done to my face and the severe acne it has caused. I even get acne under my chin and on my cheeks which never happened. I know it works for some people but if you don't have serious acne... I wouldn't reccommend it

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
The "guaranteed refund" is a farce.
I bought the product at a kiosk at a mall. When I looked at the package, it turned out that it had benzoyl peroxide, which I cannot use. I called Proactiv for a refund. They told me I had to call the kiosk owner. I had to go back to the mall to get the number off the kiosk. When I called that number, they told me it was past 60 days, so no refund, even though the product was unopened. I also called Proactiv back, and they also refused to give a refund.
Pros:
None
