Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Cons:
It smells bad, dryes up skin, hard to get off.
This product is overall 'okay' but if you put it on already formed pimples it causes this nasty green puss to form in them. Not as good as they say.

Product used: KAVI (Coral KAVI)
Pros:
An amazing acne product that is above all else SAFE to use over the long term.
Cons:
None.
Like probably most people, I had a derm that had me taking tetracyclene for years to combat my acne. My acne never went away and now I'm 28. Before having discovered this site and KAVI, I've been reading a lot about "super strains" of acne bacteria that develop on skin as a result of antibiotics. This is acne that has grown so strong from long runs of antibiotics that nothing can treat it. I wonder if this is why we seem to have so much adult acne now than before. While mulling over the idea of a class-action law suit against the makers of tetracyclene, my googling took me to the shores of KAVI, who seems to be very focused on natural ingredients that can be safely used on a regular basis without the fear of making acne or anything else I don't know about increasingly resistant to medication. Bought the Coral and the Toner, washing twice per day with the bars and once at night with the Toner (cotton ball to apply). Peoples, we are 2 weeks in and my acne is better than it's ever been in my 20's and keeps getting better by the day. I've just purchased their salicylic peel (8%) and their SPF and sent an email to my derm letting him know about my "super strain" research and that instead of prescribing any more antibiotics for acne he should be giving out Coral KAVI for free with office visits. KAVI's products may not be for everyone as I don't think everyone has the same acne: but for the rest of us, this is a company that delivers on the hope that an answer could only be one little pink bar away.

Product used: De La Cruz (Sulfur Ointment)
Pros:
really good exfolient
good at getting rid of black heads
Cons:
feels like its moisturizing your face but its actually really drying
Do not leave this product on over night the first time you use it. test it on a small patch of skin for 10 min and see how that goes and then gradually increase the time if you like it. This will make your skin peel and not just after the initial use it will make it peel for like a week even if you use it just once. I used it once for 20 min and my skin peeled for a week after. the first peel was awful and my skin was so red and irritated. this product can be conceiving because the ointment makes it feel like its moisturizing your skin but it does NOT moisturize at all. it does do a good job at getting rid of black heads though so i will be using it on my nose maybe once a week or less.

Product used: Dermify (All-In-One Acne Solution)
Pros:
all natural, organic,
it works well
no side efffect (compared to antibiotics)
leaves the skin moisturized
easy to use (all in one)
contains sulfer ( a known acne fighter)
Cons:
The smell is not the best (due to sulfer) but not that bad after all.
I would recommend that product to anybody looking for a safe, organic and green acne solution. They do not do that much advertizing (which is a shame) but if you go on amazon to read their customers' reviews or visit their website, you'll get a sense of the high quality of the product. Give it a try!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
none
Cons:
burns skin
smells bad
didn't help at all
it may be good if you have really oily skin. for me it was too drying.it actually burns my skin,and eventually makes my skin look even worse.i also can't stand the smell.
my skin never liked any of the proactive products.it's just too harsh for me.
but, on the other hand, i think you should try everything under the sun in order to find something that will work for your acne.so give it a try and see for yourself- maybe it will work for you.
good luck!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
-Reduces the size of the pimple a little
Cons:
- doesn't get rid of the pimple fast as adevertised
-hard to wash off
- unclear directions
Doesn't work as well as advertised. Unclear directions because the bottle says leave on for 10 minutes then wash off, the commercial has people saying they leave it on overnight.
