Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Cons:
Step 3 is drying
Step 2 causes minor burning
I've recenty had awful, awful breakouts. I've tried proactiv, neutrogena acne solutions, and other acne products. This one is by far my favorite. It immediatly reduced redness and inflammation and over the time period of a couple of days has really cleared me up. Step 3 is drying but the Clinique Type 3 moisturizing gel will help that without clogging pores. Step 2 burns a little bit but my skin has always reacted that way to toners.

Product used: Neutrogena (On-the-Spot Acne Treatment (Old Formula))
Pros:
So far, it is working really well! =) Dries out pimples, makes them GO AWAY!
Cons:
A little drying, but that's what it's suppose to do!
I've only used it about a week, but it has ALMOST cleared up my face. 1 zit doesn't turn into 10 anymore. =) Zits are less red, and almost gone. YAY.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Cleared up very minor acne. Face not as oily.
Cons:
Doesn't treat any acne stronger than very light. Toner stings a lot and drys out face significantly.
Proactive can help if you have very light acne but anything else will remain unaffected. It is constantly commercialized to be really amazing but in reality the chance of results are slim to none. The only Proactive product I have any faith in is the Refining mask. It is great for spot treatment, so if you're going to order from Proactive, the Refining mask is the only thing worth spending your money on.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It works at first...
Cons:
stops working after a while. is expensive and you have to join the club.
i've tried this product off and on. It clears up my skin a little bit when i first use it, but so far it hasn't cleared my face completely. Its also really annoying to try to cancel your subscription to it.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
It is ok at stopping new acne forming
Cons:
Unfortunately, too many! I have stopped using it and now using Microdermx to try and fix the red marks
Okay, I have used this for a few months. Here is my honest opinion of this. I have written a review for it before and gave it 3 stars out of 5 overall, but I am changing it now to 2. Here is why. You can tell that your skin hates this product. It seems to me that my skin was pretty much "dead" after a while using this. Not only was my skin always flakey, it just looked dull and lifeless. But to be honest, Acne affects me so badly on a psychological level that I would be the first one to say that it's not very important. As long as I can get on with my life and not have my Cheeks covered in Acne. So the real problem with this product is it seems to make hyper pigmentation marks (Red marks left over from acne, which is worse than acne it self!) last FOREVER. Serious, I read that it did this, but I also read Ran saying it didn't. So I thought I would see for myself. I can now confirm that expect you're red marks to stick around for ages if you use this. I have now quit using it

Pros:
works a little
Cons:
dries skin alot and does not work well
I used it for a couple of weeks and it said you would see results in 2 days but that is not true you may barely not see results and it will only work on those with a specific type of skin it dried out all on my cheecks and around my mouth and mostrizer doesnt even do the job
