Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
dont use if you have serious acne!!
It made mine worse. I used to have serious acne but i used a line called pca skin care. It cleared right up and u could never tell i had acne.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
it really cleared my skin. sure, there are occasionally bumps here and there, but i believe that if you will be religious enough to stick by the regimen, it will all turn for the better. up to now, i'm still thankful for the miracle it has performed-
Cons:
i super hate the drying, itching, flaking, and the price.
just stick by the instructions and adjust to your own as you go. if your skin is sensitive just like mine, be very slow in the amount because the skin takes time to adjust. don't lose hope! i'm still loving the product despite the cons! nothing's perfect anyway, just be patient and it will be worth it in the end.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
It clears acne fast and clears some pimples.
Cons:
It makes your skin dry at first.
i recommend this product to anyone with light to moderate acne. I started this product about a week ago and my acne has cleared a lot. I like this product better than clean & clear. (That's what i was using before.)

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
Affordable, it feels good when you lather it on your skin, even after washing. I've yet to see the results as I am just on my first week of using Oxy.
Cons:
My skin gets a little dry. Use moisturizer after washing.
I've read a lot of good comments for this product that's why I bought it but I haven't seen changes yet except for dryness, and that is maybe because I just started using it. I'm excited though for any positive changes.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
nothing
Cons:
Dried my face out and made acne worse, also made my face very sensitive
i've tried everything, the astringent cleansers from wal mart in all honesty work better than the pro activ.
It is NOT worth the money.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Price and thickness of the lotion
Cons:
I used the product three times and when I woke up my eyes were swollen almost completely shut! My entire face was puffy, including my ears where I had accidently gotten some of the lotion. I was very disappointed because the product was working b 4.
I would use this product if my face didn't swell up like a balloon after using it! I would recommend this product, but be sure to try it when you don't have anything to do for the next few days so your swelling can have time to go down if you have a reaction to it like I did.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Dries your sh*t out.
Cons:
Doesn't work too well. Constant applications and I still have acne. Not something I'd recommend. Try getting a tan and some air instead.
F**k it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
*skip*
Cons:
The fact that it doesn't work.
It didn't make my acne better or worse. It just maintained my acne. I wouldn't recommend this to people with real acne. It's for the occasional pimple.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
works temporarily
Cons:
makes acne worse
Proactive contains an active ingredient called benzoyl peroxide. This ingredient does temporarily clear your skin but in the long run, it dries up your skin, clogs your pores, and makes your acne worse than before you started using the product! Try searching for a natural method in clearing up your acne instead.
Pros:
for zero to no acne
