Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It worked amazing for the first couple weeks. It completely cleared my skin.
Cons:
After a couple of weeks of clear skin, for some reason, i started breaking out again. It stopped working for me, so I stopped using it, and went to AcneFree which has been giving me good results.
It is a good product, but I don't think it is the right product for me. I would still recommend it though because it works for a lot of other people.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I know other people it worked very well for.
Cons:
It did not work for me or my sister. I used it for a while hoping the advertisements were true, but for me, they were not. I had to get presriptions from a dermatologist before I saw any improvement in my skin.
Did not work for me, and it was a huge waste of money.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Alot of product for the money. Also reduced some of the oiliness and eliminated facial redness.
Cons:
Not sold in stores. Can't skip a day or I'll breakout again in a few days.
I use Dan's benzoyl peroxide only once per day. I wash my face with my hands with Serious Skin Care's Daily Ritual Cleanser (which has both salicylic acid AND glycolic acid) both a.m. and p.m. and rinse gently with tepid water and a washcloth. In the p.m. ONLY I follow with one pump of Dan's benzoyl peroxide. I also keep Serious Skin Care's Super Hydrate on hand if I experience too much dryness which doesn't happen too often for me because I have very oily skin. I have finally after many years and many different product lines found the solution to my acne problems. Not only is my skin clear, but it also helped reduce the oilness and my skin is no longer red any more! Thank you Dan for making this benzoyl peroxide, it really is the best I have ever tried.

It really works
Cons:

If this is used right and you fallow the directions using twice a day you will notice a change in your skin. i had moderate acne and a few spots that were there for six months and they are now gone. my skin never dried out and my pimples have not come back since with regular use. the people it does not work for propable are not using it right.

Pros:
It helps reduce my acne breakout in July. Some of my acne went away, while others didn't.
Cons:
It dries your skin if you put too much of the BP. Stops working on old pimples.
For me, it works during the first three weeks. I tried Proactiv and Clean and Clear Advantage whatever. It didn't work. I have mild acne due to the dermatologist giving me Topical whatever it is called, and Retina-A. It burned my skin and made me breakout in 2 months last year. So I decided to try Nature's Cure just to give it a try. The pills are fine to use. You can get them at Wal-mart! Nature's Cure did help reduce my acne breakout. Thank God for that. For some reasons lately it had stopped working on my old pimples. This BP is good to use when you spot a new pimple. Apply it on the next day it will disappear. BP = spot treatment for me. I don't recommend applying the BP all over your face, just the ones that you have zits and new pimples. Because it will cause new ones to grow. I am still going to continue to use BP for spot treatment only. For now, I'm going to test out using lemon juice.

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
It really works on oily skin...
Pimples dry out quickly; Shortens pimple lifespan and really feels like it kills the bacteria when it tingles
Cons:
Dries up your skin when used too often; bleaches dyed hair
Really the best, for all skin types... I paid for it in Philippine peso...
Pros:
USE ONLY THE TONER AND LOTION. DON'T USE THE WASH. GET SOMETHING ELSE TO REPLACE IT SUCH AS NEUTROGENA WASH PRODUCTS.
