Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Cons:
made my skin greasy, oily feeling and yet once all the oil was off my skin was dry, it didn't clean my skin, it made it peel, made it red
this stuff just did NOT agree with my skin. I wouldn't tell you not to buy it because we all have different skin types and textures but I really did not like it. It wasn't worth my money but it may work great for you. I have oily,combination skin. Whiteheads, blackheads, and lots of tiny bumps and it didn't work much for me. I used it for 1 month and a half.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
works well totatly clear skin:) i love their products
Cons:
unfortunately it makes my face red and can bleach clothes
its worth it to some extent
i believe they should make larger bottles
if they didn't spend the 4 million dollars on paying celebrities to do infomercials they could focus on acne research and product enhancement :)

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Made my skin very soft. It also made it feel clean.

I was sort of expensive.
It will make you look very butiful, or hansome. It will make you feel good about yourself too.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
starts working after first use, simple 3 step program, not overly drying, smells pleasant and works well under sunscreen.
Cons:
only con i can think of is that the toner may run out faster than the wash and repair lotion.
AcneFree works. it just does. ive tried proactiv and it was an utter failure, marring my face and leaving oil slicks wherever i applied the repair lotion. accutane works best, of course, but for aftercare, AcneFree is perfect. controls oil to keep away that pesky shine and my skin has only ever looked this clear during my accutane days. in my opinion, this is the end all best combination product out there. its affordable, long lasting and above all...it works!!!

Product used: Klear Action (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
This works! Doesn't have an awful odor
Cons:
A bit runny. Also ran out of cleanser before toner and acne repair lotion.
Definately a must buy for those with mild or moderate acne. Didn't dry out my skin. Please keep using. Do not give up on it if you do not see results right away. My skin got worse before it got better. I have been using for 2 weeks and am down to only 2 small blemishes which are clearing up at this point.

Cons:
Did not see any change to my skin...good or bad.
It didn't work for me and I would recommend Sodium Sulfacetamide.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Acne Vanishing Treatment Cream)
Pros:
can help remove acne when you first start using it.
Cons:
Makes skin amazingly dry and moisturizing worsens results.
Makes acne worse!
So I had some acne, nothing serious, and my dad out of the blue gives me some Clearasil Ultra, I used it and ya my acne cleared up a bit. It got to a point when my acne was quite minimal, but then it stayed the. Then My forehead started to become really red and I started getting a bunch of small pimples all over. now I have a bunch of red dots every where, my forehead is glowing red, and as soon as I forget to use it for a day I get a break out. So screw u Clearasil, I'm stopping now and going for some TCM/acupuncture next week. Oh and I'm now using baking soda mixed with water and honey... showed better results in the last day then Clearasil has in a month, and it dries the skin less.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I liked the scent of the product
Cons:
This did not work well for me.
I applied this product twice. I have very little acne but suffer from rosacea. When I woke up the following morning after using it at night my face was a huge mess. Pea size acne was all over my face it was dry and itchy. I used this product December 26th 2007 and my face is still a mess today january 15th. They did refund my money and sent me a product made from botanicals which I did not use. My face is a mess, I wish i never used it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Works good and fast.
Cons:
Kind of stinks.
After a while stops working.
There's better products for way less.
You'd be better off trying clean and clear.
ProActiv is good for clearing up your face fast, like emergency use, but after a few months i guess your skin gets immune to it and it stops working.It's not worth all the money you pay for it either.
'Clean and Clear' works wonders and its cheaper.
Pros:
none
