Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
The toner always ,made my face feel fresh and clean! The mask also seemed to work very well.
Cons:
The product seemed to dry out my skin alot. The lotion did not help. My face was very itchy while i was using it.
This product seemed to work at first, however i never saw signifigant improvement. After about eight months of using this stuff it stopped working altogather and even seemed to make things worse!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Repairs damaged skin
Cons:
Does not in any way prevent breakouts... The repairing lotion only made my acne worse so I actually stopped using that. PRICE
Give it a try but do not expect amazing results. It is an over priced and over hyped product. If you have very oily skin, I recommend using Clean%Clear Persa Gel instead of the proactiv's repairing lotion.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It got rid of minor breakouts fast and healed zits faster than any other product I have tried it also left my skin feeling very smooth and it smelled great =D
Cons:
It gave me scars and if I ever touched a zit it turned bright red for about a day. I also found that it does not prevent breakouts.
It does work but not as well as the ads prove.
I don't break out as much as I used to but if I ever miss a day my face looks terrible. However my aunt uses proactiv and her face is always perfectly clear, I think the results depend on the person. Also I think it gave me a lot of blackheads.
But overall I DO think it's worth it.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
Controls oil, smells nice, proper pH.
Cons:
Expensive, kits do not contain the right proportion of product, does not remove makeup.
The cleanser does not remove makeup and is over-drying so I stopped using it and buy something cheaper and less irritating from the drugstore. The toner is one of the only salicylic acid products on the market with the right pH to actually have an effect on clogged pores. I am a chemist and I tested about ten products, this was the only one between ph 3 and 4. The B.P. "moisturizer" is great. At 2.5% it is not too much for my mild/medium acne but it is very drying also so I only use it once per day and use an moisturizer with sunscreen during the day. I still have some zits but I haven't had any deep pustules since I started using the toner and B.P. The overall tone and texture of my skin is much improved also. I buy the toner and B.P. separately now at the Clinique counter.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)

It started clearing my skin and giving me smoother skin after the first day.
Cons:

Bottom line, this product works better than anything else I've EVER tried. Clearisil, Neutragina, whatever. Oxy works.
Pros:
smell & brightens skin
