Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
Dried out skin, wasted time applying and sitting around for it to dry, DIDN'T WORK, made my skin oily.. (to clarify it would first make my skin dry white and peely, then later in the day my skin would become shiny and oily)
Garbage, Waste of Money and Infomercials. This stuff is meant for the lucky few that have 1 or 2 pimples. For the ones who pray for it to act as there miracle treatment, all it does is waste the months. Do yourself a favor and just mark Pro-Cr*p-tive to the list of cleansers that DON'T work. I'm sorry to sound harsh, but there claims of being amazing, are lies. It's expencive and it simply dosn't work. It didn't work for me, and I guarantee it won't satisfy you! Just being unbaised..

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
None.
Cons:
I broke out alot more, also found my skin would often be extreemly dry after washing.
I would not buy it again.
It works for people who get 1-2 pimples, but so does many cheaper brands.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:

Product used: Clearasil (Daily Clear Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream)
Pros:
Dries up moderate pimples fast when applied multiple times daily. It's very cheap.
Cons:
Doesn't rub in all the way, and leaves a matte white residue. Can leave skin dry and flaky when applied to sensitive areas, or overapplied.
Worth it for spot treatments...I use it in conjunction with my prescription Differin and it helps greatly.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Works well, gentle exfoliation
Cons:
makes my skin very dry and sometimes itchy
I still use this product because I like the results I've been receiving. My doctor started me on antibiotics to help as well and the two together seem to be working pretty good. Benzoyl peroxide has always made my skin dry so i expceted that to happen, which it did but i wasn't expceting the itchiness and peeling

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It worked at the beginning.
Cons:
After using it for awhile, it just stopped working. When I went off the product, my skin got better, and now it is just the same annoying blemished skin that I turned to Proactiv to get better.
Doesn't work.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Helped me a little
Cons:
Made my face extremely dry, it hurt to open my mouth at times. Didn't clear me 100%. Three step process takes a while
It made my face 100% clear like once, but then I started breaking out all over again....the products where very strong, and even with my strong skin, it dried it up so much once that I could barely make any facial expressions....

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
Everything about it. Clears up acne and makes skin super soft
Cons:
For alittle while you will have dry skin. But its worth it for the results.
I love OXY! i have been using it for about 2 years. I tried other products and nothing compares to OXY..i had breakouts really bad and now when i do have them its only a 1 or 2 pimples.. I recommended this product to my best friend who had really bad acne and 2 weeks after use she is clear.. and she has struggled with acne since 5th grade its an AMAZING PRODUCT.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
It works but not GREAT. Its a lot better than ProActiv, thats for sure. Its a lot cheaper than ProActiv too.
Cons:
I still get pimples.
Its great for the money! Its cheap and works better than most other products. Only thing is, I still get SOME pimples and it doesnt work for my oily skin or remove my blackheads around my nose, and it doesnt remove those annoying bumps under the skin that dont have a head. But to solve that problem. I just make an aspirin/water mixture and put it on my face for about 5 minutes and wash with freezing cold water [which closes my pores and helps with the oilyness] As for the blackheads on my nose, I have to buy Biore strips to remove them. I know if I didnt use Acnefree, my acne would be SUPER bad! && now I'm down to maybe 1 or 2 pimples at a time.. sometimes none.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
It got rid of my pre-existing acne in a few days and since I started using it, no new acne has formed!!!!! Sooo pleased with the results so far! I'm 2 weeks into the regimen and my skin is *clear*!
Cons:
My skin was dry, flaking, red and itching in the first few days but I persevered due to the great results. It's extremeley affordable but having to order it online is a con I guess although one I'd definitely live with!!!!
Try this!! I can't speak for everyone but for me this has simply worked wonders! My acne has never been that bad but it has been really persistent i.e. I've always have a few spots on my face with only a few days of clear skin per month... But now I have near perfect skin thanks to Acne.org treatment!!! I don't even use the full amount. Probably use only a pea-sized amount twice a day. In the past few years I've spent/wasted so much money on both high and low end products most of which did absolutely nothing. I wish I'd found out about the regimen earlier so I could have clear skin plus have saved sooo much money!! Seriously give it a chance, they even do a travel size so if it doesn't work it's only 4 dollars wasted! I can't thank Dan enough for coming up with the regimen and these amazing products!
Pros:
none that I noticed
