Pros:
Still completely keeps the deep big pimples away from my forehead and face.
Cons:
Still have the small occasional pimples on my cheeks that are hard to get rid of.
It works. The pills can only take u so far, you have to drink water, sleep, and exercise for even better skin. I love this because it gets rid of the major acne problem that I had and I can use face washes for the small mild pimples i have now.you have to use it for at least three months to see results. I know I did, even know it was frustrating as hell. seriously, keep using it, for at least three months. it'll go by faster than u think.

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Cheap
Cons:
Did Not Work as Well as Neutrogena No-the-Spot. It feels greasy. Does not feel like it is absorbed into the face.
I have been on the Regimen for about 2 month now. First, I used Neutrogena's because it is what I had around. After a month of spending so much, I decided to try the Gel. Got it and used it for 2 and a half weeks. It kept some of the spots that the neutrogena got rid of a way. However, I started to get a couple more brake out spots. So I switch back to Neutrogena and they where gone in 4 days.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It smells great and it really works!
Cons:
It got rid of all my blackheads. The little pimples disappeared FAST but it takes a while for the big ones to go away. It leaves my face feeling fresh and clean.
If you have dry skin, after applying the 3rd step, put on a LIGHT moisturizer and you'll be fine. It worked for me. But not everyone will getfast results. If your pimples are BAD..you migh want to try something else. Try Proactive for about a couple months and if you see no result, don't waste your time or money on it! Good luck!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Completely gets rids of whiteheads and existing pimples. Gives you an even, glowing complexion.
My fabric didnt get bleached or anything and my skin didnt even dry out...probably because i used the Proactiv moisturizer too.
Cons:
Didnt particulalry stop new, painful pimples from forming, but as thats's part of the treatment, i was warned it may happen. Also, it was a bit pricey.
This stuff comes in really tiny bottles, but dont panic, it will still last the promised amount of time: two months.
I have two words for you: BUY IMMEDIATELY!
Persistance with this product will wipe away traces of acne scars too and it gives you a wonderful, fresh radiance.
After i was done with proactiv, i started breaking out again, mildly though, so i used clearasil, and its done wonders.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
My Skin is not flaky. It was flaky to start with. I figured with BP and the "leather face" feel, that I would flake real bad, but I didn't
Cons:
The refining mask hasn't worked for me, I was beginning to get a zit on my forehead and I used it overnight, now I have a full on pimple! Other than not being flaky, I don't see much improvement.
I bought this product because I have blackheads, and even though its unsightly acne, it sucks looking like a strawberry w/out make-up. I hope this product helps, I have only been using it a few days. I was disappointed though, when I opened my package. If it works so well, why do they have a whole line of pimple fighting products. On TV they make it sound like 3 little steps...like that's all you need, then you open the box and they are selling you make-up, and face wipes, lotions, even dandruff shampoo. It makes me loose some faith in this product, I hope it works!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Smelled nice... seemed to work
Cons:
Expensive, needs continuous regular usage
Proactiv was controlling my life! AAH! In order for it to work for me, I needed to be so thorough with it. But the price was killing my wallet. I stopped using it and developed really deep, cyst like acne, something i never had before.
I'm not impressed.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
it seems like a well organized process
Cons:
DOES NOT work at all, makes skin significantly worse, smells TERRIBLE, makes skin dry, makes you break out all over,
it's a waste of time and does not work. If i were you i'd visit a dermatologist first because they can recommend a better product. proactiv is very overrated and shouldn't be for how poorly it works.
