Product used: Clean & Clear (Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength)
Pros:
Effective tool, helping to both reduce acne immediately over night as well as preventing future breakouts.
Creates a high turnover of skin cells, which helps with the natrual smoothing of skin.
Cons:
Skin will become dry, especially in the colder winter months but a solid moisturizer, that is non-condegemic and light, will aid those worrying about suh an effect.
This is an extremely effective product, and I feel as though I should clear up some misuderstandings and misconceptions. Firstly, acne that you recieve in the second or third week of use, will often by acne that is inevitable and unpreventable, because of prior skin treatment. Secondly, the skin will more than likely experience ups and downs, but the skin will consistently be moving in a positive direction( less blemishes and issues). Thirdly, this product has no affect on acne scars. The blemish left by a declining pimpe may be mistaken as a "scar" but is merely a step in he healing process. This product will not create any new scars, but will help to prevent and settle the users skin.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Reduces Redness, inflammation, and given a few weeks, will really make your acne problem a lot less severe.
Cons:
It is expensive, and its part of a 3 step solution. That being the cleansing foam, the lotion, and mosituriser.
It is sort of expensive but worth it. After about 2 weeks and a few days I am noticing a 60% or so improvement on my acne. Redness has went down, red marks are fading and generally my face doesnt look as bad. If you can afford this go for it. All 3 steps work together well but I think the final step, the clearing mositurizer is the key here. It contains the ingredients which will heal acne such as salacylic acid (or however u spell it). Step 2 smells like alcohol, but its not too bad. Step 1 the foam is pleasant to use. Nice odour etc. It does leave my face feeling a little tight after I've used all 3 steps but the pros outweigh the cons. I do reccomend this to acne sufferers.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
Inexpensive
Cons:
Does not leave skin feeling clean, nor soft, as I experienced when using Proactiv. My acne got worse in areas after using this product for 2 months. I might as well have been using plain water to wash my face.
Does not work as promised.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
It's affordable and it has cleared some of the acne along my forehead.
Cons:
It is labeled on the product that it has a tendency to bleach garments and that's no lie. I stopped using it at night, because I noticed that my colored pillow cases were fading. I had no problem with that when I used Proactiv
The product is ok, but I can't give it two thumbs up.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
i love this product (acnefree SEVERE)! i had pretty severe acne and now its very light and almost unnoticable.
Cons:
takes longer than three days to work.
got worse before it got better
the acnefree severe line is amazing. i really thing the fourth retinol step is what makes everything come together. at first putting the products on my face stung, but now after 3 weeks of use i don't feel it anymore, but i still see improvement in my face. use an oil free moisturizer afterwards so your face isn't too dry. also, try to exfoliate a couple times a week as your skin is peeling and it helps to get all the dry skin off to reveal a new, smoother face.
Pros:
I have a couple pimples on my chin and i cleared them all up, it made my skin tone even, it also left my skin soft and smooth also unlike other products my face felt really clean
