Panoxyl works it take away the pimples,blackheads,whiteheads,etc. it has to dry your skiin for it to work.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
the moisterizer is alright I guess and the mask although I found an organic mask that works better...
Cons:
harsh cleanser, stinging toner, and the price!!!
I dont have horrible acne but Ido have some, and I love natural/organic products. Alba organics is amazing. And on [link removed] they have product reveiws which are VERY helpful. I didnt used to use organic products but nothing worked (including proactiv, clean and clear, etc). I got fed up aand so now I buy organic products online from [link removed] and the prices are awesome and they really work!! There are no chemicals or other harmful things. The cleanser I buy is about 5 dollars, and the moisterizer about 3. I have better skin with 8 dollars than I did with proactiv at 50!! BUY ORGANIC!! YOU'LL LOVE IT. And I'm no hippy either!!

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
It gives hope to those with acne.
Cons:
I wish it would work for me, but it just doesn't. I have been using it religously twice a day for a month, hoping that one day I will not have any new breakouts.
I breakout daily and don't know what's wrong with me. Acne Free hasn't helped. My face kind of burns and is very dry from the product, I use a spf moisturizer in addition. The benzoyl peroxide lotion is very thin straight from the bottle but does not spread on the face very smoothly. I think I have given it a fair shot and will stop using it as soon as I find something else to try.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
fast (few weeks), cleared it up well
Cons:
excessive drying and peeling
wow. i've been using proactiv for a month now, and for me, it doesn't do anything. I switched from acne free but this thing works like a charm. the lotion is actually moisturizing, not drying, and its really quite wonderful.

Product used: Clearasil (Daily Clear Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream)
Pros:
It has helped me a ton. It dries up my acne pretty quickly and prevents it from coming.
Cons:
Leaves a white residue which comes off if rubbed slightly
I usually only use this product at night. I wash my face in the morning and then at night. After i wash it at night i apply this product all over. Sometimes if i am having an especially bad break out i put it on in the morning. This means i have to rub the wite residue off but that is no big deal. It used to dry my skin a little but now it is fine.
I would recommend this product pretty highly. It is cheap as opposed to the Ultra and works fine for me. If you have sensative skin i would say to probably only use it for spot treatment.

It's not as expensive as other treatments and tt seems to work within a few days
