Easy to find and with low side effects, but don’t be surprised if you are left wishing for better results after using it for a while. Any acid on its own is unlikely to dramatically clear acne.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Cons:
Does not work in the advertised time- 1 day? Yeah, right. But I knew going into it that it wouldn't work that fast.
I have only used this for 8 days and my skin looks so much better. It's not perfectly clear, but it's getting close.

Product used: L'Oreal (Pure Zone Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
I am telling you girls the truth. I used to have so much zits on my forehead and it was embarrassing. I used it around the forehead and within the next morning, it shrinked. ALOT I MUST SAY.. I've been using it for about 5 years and it's still workin
Cons:
The only thing that isn't all that great is, your skin can get dry. That's why you wear face lotion when you're done washing your face. Once you do that, you should be good to go! :D TRUST ME... well, it works on me.. so yeah..
Some people may not like it because your face gets dried up, but like I said, use lotion to see if it helps, if not, it's up to you whether you want to use it anymore or not. It doesn't hurt to try something new.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Reduced The size and severeness of my acne quickly. Within days.
Cons:
Since i started using this, the corner of my eyes have been a little red and sore. Not sure if this has to do with the product, but i'm putting that out there.
It's just great for Clearing skin of acne fast. It does tingle a little sometimes, but hey, at least we know it's working. I bought the entire kit, and it's doing wonders.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Gentle Formula)
Pros:
smelled alright
worked for awhile
felt good on my skin
Cons:
made me breakout really badly after awhile
dried my cheeks out
This product worked for about 2 weeks and then i had one of the worst breakouts of my life. Even though it didn't work for me, I guess it's worth a shot because I know other people that have used this product and have great skin.
August 15, 2008
Pros:
It makes my face feel fresh and clean right away. It's softer right away. Smell is ok. Didn't make my skin dry.
Cons:
Doesn't really reduce pimples or size of pimples. Made my face really shiny. Didn't reduce redness.
I've been using this product for about three weeks, and it hasn't really done anything besides make my face feel soft and clean. It does not do a good job of clearing acne.

Product used: Neutrogena (Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Spot Gel)
Pros:
This product didn't make my acne worse or anything but it certainly doesn't work within 8 hours...thats for sure!
Cons:
it doesn't work within 8 hours... i dont know why they say that- they have to know that it doesn't work like that.
if you have really bad acne, i would give it a try... just dont believe the 8 hour thing but try it anyway. it might help for some people... it cleared a little of my acne!

Product used: Neutrogena (Body Clear Body Wash)
Pros:
goes on easy, foams up good, feels great and clean afterwards, helps acne heal, helps oily skin.
Cons:
it may dry up skin a little bit for some people, doesnt completly get rid of body acne.
this is a great product i would definatly recomend it to a freind to help with acne.
though it may not be the-best product out there it is well worth the price and worth a shot.

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Pros:
smell, vegan, not harsh and drying to my very dry skin
Cons:
waiting for it to come in the mail
I have used it for 4 days on my dry, yet breakout prone skin and I am imoressed. My minimal blemishes are not gone but the redness around them is! My face feels soft and smoother. I am more used to a heavier moisturizer that is thicker and richer, but I am getting used to this one. Haven't tried the vitamins yet. So far I would recommend it in addition to eating well and taking better care of your body from the inside out!
