Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Works for some people
Cons:
Only cleared the acne from my nose and forehead. My chin and cheeks got worse.
It doesn't do all that it says it does for everyone. I've got friends that it works great for, but not me.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Clears up acne very well after about 2 months of using it consistently, if you continue the steps, your skin will stay clear.
Cons:
it only worked for me for about 2 years, after that my acne came back full blown and the only thing that Proactive did was dry out my skin terribly.
proActiv worked extremely well for me for the first 2 years as long as I used it consistently and did all 3 steps. For the 3rd year however proActive has not worked and my Acne has gotten bad. I have continued using it through the year hoping that it would start to work again but i realized that it was just making my skin worse. I stopped cold turkey and my skin cleared beautifully for 3 glorious weeks. Unfortunatly, my acne has returned to plague me.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
It smells good and rinses off clean. Does not leave any film on your skin.
Cons:
A little over-drying
I used this for about a month and it worked great at first then I started to breakout again! I honestly think though that was because it was drying my skin out and I was not using the proper kind of moisturizer..I think the kind I was using clogged my pores and caused further breakouts. Overall though as long as your skin isn't too sensitive you should be fine.

Pros:
I tried everything out there, from proactiv to clearasil and THIS STUFF WORKS. I like how you can chew the tablets because I hate swallowing them. I have been using this for two weeks and i can see a difference. My skin is smoother!
Cons:
It dries out my face, but that's what lotion's for ;)
IT REALLY WORKS!

Product used: Stridex (Power Pads)
Pros:
really exfoliates
Cons:
hard to find &expensive fo 28 pads
Would be your best bet for stubborn acne
January 21, 2008
Pros:
Packaged nicely, about it...
Cons:
Causes breakouts, creates stiff feeling, irritates, doesn't work
Kinda sad, i was using St. Ives SA scrub and Proactiv's BP lotion thing and it was working well but drying my skin so I switched to this nicely packaged box... I broke out in the worst spots, after a week of just terrible breakouts, i dumbed this crap. As a warning, it worked well on the first day, but then the following days just showed an opposite effect. avoid switching ur regimen to this.
Pros:
Nothing
