Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Cons:
can dry you out a little
shipping bites - but it's worth it!!!!!
I wish I came across this website years ago!! I dont even know how I have bipassed it. I have tried so many products and have wasted so much money to have nice skin (last was Murad system-broke out w/pimples everyday!) Who would have thought going back to BP would have been the trick, but IT IS!!! Right now I use Purpose Cleanser, Dan's BP, and Oil of Olay Sensitive. Thanks to this site, I now have a great complexion.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
it helped a little, does not irritate skin, feels nice on, smells kind of nice.
Cons:
SO many steps, doesnt get rid of all acne, once i got rid of it i REALLY broke out. so i suggest u dont use it.
just stay away...why use it to find out it doesnt work well and then brake out because the product you used that didnt work...caused you to break out..

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
the price is good and it's advertised by celebrities
Cons:
dries and burns your skin the refining mask takes 2 weeks to shrink one pimple and it leaves your skin looking red and oily
proactive doesn't work at all. Don't waste your money on this terrible product. The refinig mask did the exact opposite of what was promised and instead of me waking up to see my pimples smaller if not gone I woke up to see them red and pretty much worse than before. The renewing cleanser made my skin peel and the repairing toner made my skin greasy. Once again don't waste your money on proactive because even though many celebrities CLAIM that it worked wonders on their skin they're all getting paid to say that.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
- cleared up my acne in almost 3 weeks
- i have combination skin and it worked well for me.
- pretty much affordable
Cons:
- the scent is a little bad, it takes getting used to
- causes my overall skin to look red
- the scars are there, redder than ever, it actually looks like pimples. but it's not.
proactiv works if you give it a little time, generally here in the caribbean the climate is hot so the bp in the product tends to irritate skin during the day. I've used at least 10 acne products, including differen, murad, clear active, clean and clear, neutrogena, diane 35, atibiotics, clearasil. and proactiv is the only thing that agrees with my skin, the sking lightening lotion SUCKS. and my marks are still there, but i cover that up with makeup , i'm just glad the bumps aren't there. if there's something that works just as well to get rid of the bumps but with less redness for more or less the same price, let me know!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
well it kept new zits from appearing fro the first few weeks but the old ones stayed. my skin was very smooth though and no longer shiney. i used the reg formula but switching to extra strength.
Cons:
the system is too much to do every dy twice a day, didnt clear deep blemishes or black head even after two months. not enough in each bottle, u have to use like a little drop when u need more, a lot more
it did improve my skin but not up to expectations. but ill see how the ES works. so basically it did help a lot and im pretty happy with it, better than anyhting i've ever used.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
cheap, odorless
Cons:
doesn't work, stains fabric, dries skin, layers of product on your face all day, can't use makeup, extreme dryness
This product left my skin exactly as before and I was very careful to use it as described. My skin was so incredibly dry at times I turned down party invites even after tons of moisturizer. Makeup over the day-time regimen is out of the question because it is caked on your face. I understood I would go through some dryness and thought the payoff would be clear skin, but after 10 weeks my skin is exactly as before and my pillow cases are ruined.

Product used: Clinique (Acne Solutions Clear Skin System)
Pros:
This stuff changed the overall appearance of my skin pretty dramatically. I am getting compliments.
Cons:
Does not clear up my acne all the way. The appearance of my skin is much more even and it shrinks my cystic acne considerably, but does not make it go away. Seems to clog pores on my forehead and chin. I think a mask would help.
I have cystic acne along my jawline and a little down my neck. My cheeks are normal and I have non cystic acne breakouts in my T zone. When I first started using this system it dried out my skin pretty badly. There was also some burning. I just experimented with when I used the whole system and when I used only parts of it, and now I can use the whole thing twice a day with no ill effects. After three months of use it still works just as well as when I started using it.
