Product used: Clean & Clear (Continuous Control Acne Cleanser)
Cons:
-stron medication, careful if your skin is very prone to drying
Ok, let's face it, you're stupid if you use Benzoyl Peroxide anywhere near your eyes. The same goes to pretty much any other acne product out there, excluding the herbal solutions. This is a good product for people who want fast results and who know how to moisturize their skin. If your skin is sensitive, go with a lower concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It is a great face wash and mask. When I first started using it, it felt really great.
Cons:
It's a little abrasive. It stopped working after a few months. Never cleared up my acne really. There are way too many products to apply. You end up with layers of medication on your face, and that's exactly what it feels like. Dried out skin.
Just like a lot of products. Great at first, but then it stops working. Too complicated. Too expensive. If you try to cancel the ladies on the phone just tell you that you were using the wrong amount or to use cotton pads as opposed to balls. That's just stupid.

Product used: AcneFree (24 Hour Acne Clearing System)
Pros:
affordable and cheap
Cons:
dry the skin, sometimes came back worse
dies come in singles (at taget and walmart)a 4 oz bottle at walmart is $5.79. at target i get a 8 oz bottle for the same price. i guess i should also be looking into the toner as well because the wash and the topical was working but now still getting pimples again. but i will not give up on product. i like that is dries out the skin instead of leaving it oily.

Pros:
I have had cystic acne since I was a teenager. I am now 50 yre. old. I had adult cystic acne until I started using Nature's Cure. Nothing else I had tried over the years had worked except having the dermatologist inject the cysts. It works!!
Cons:
I have found none.
My acne started with the onset of puberty, so I think it addressing the problem at the hormonal level was the answer for me.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
Clears up your skin within a day or two, incombination with the refinning mask My skins was completely cleared in a week.
Cons:
Dries my skin out I can only use it for like 2 weeks at a time. Smells sulfer like.
It's good for most types of acne. I feel it really worked for me. However I've read many people say it doesn't work for them. I find that when I switch back and forth it works better for me.
