Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Cons:
my skin isnt overly sensitive, but after a week of using this it got extremely red, flaky, and was quite sore. some people told me it had to get worse before it got better, so i persevered. my skn s horrbly dry, flaky and red now. not so good
clears spots but leaves you with horrible skin anyway

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
I started using this about a week ago, after using Pro Active. I have to say it feels much better and my face looks way more clear than before thanks to this acne system. It really is just a " 3 minute routine".
Cons:
Maybe the size of the BP and the face wash versus the size of the lotion.
love it.

Pros:
there are no;
Cons:
dry,red,skin.
i am only 14 and just going into high school.
i had no severe pimples and decided to use proactive to clear my pimples.
guess where that got me ?
red, bumpy skin.
i used it for a week, and stopped because i didn't like the results, and once a i stopped my face turned into horror. i am going to a doctor, but don't use it unless your willing to do it every day and night. & waiting patiently for the results.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It starts working immediatly. The cleanser also works well as a body wash (for bacne!)
Cons:
Sometimes drying. If I skip a day, I start to break out. It also doesn't stop acne showing up when I'm on my period.
I randomly started getting bad acne when I was about 19 years old. After about 8 months of using proactive, my acne was pretty much GONE. i was able to go out in public without wearing make-up! In the proactive brochure, it states that there is no cure for acne, only treatments. This is very true in the case of proactive-i think that i may have to use it for the rest of my life.

Product used: Oxy (Maximum Action Advanced Face Wash)
Pros:
it works well, and revives my skin from acne or pimples quickly.
Cons:
it does dry my skin out a bit, but wetting my face after use helps me.
this is a great product and it does work, it may not for everyone but i would say at least 90% of the people out there. IT WORKS!!!!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I couldn't find any.
Cons:
Too harsh for my skin.
HATE this product. Before all the proactive hype a few of my friends tried it and said it worked really well and swears by it. I tried it recently and it was way too harsh for my skin. It left my face looking red too. I will never use this again.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It goes away
Cons:
It comes back very quick and it stings and it made my acne worse and i dont want to go into public unless it clears
No dont buy it it dries up your face. the refining mask works the first time and it feels good on face ♥ but it doesnt work after that

Product used: PanOxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) Aquagel)
Pros:
gets rid of acne for a while
Cons:
loses its efficiency
worked great until about a month ago when i noticed more pimples each and everyday
August 10, 2008
Pros:
Working well for my moderate acne. Clearing up my blackheads faster than anything I have ever tried!
Cons:
Dried up my face very badly
I've had this for about a week now and my pores have appeared smaller, pimples are reduced and blackheads less visible. Drying occurs, but I use Pond's Dry Skin Cream which does the job!
Pros:
cleared up spots quickly
