Choice of words

As a slogan for a certain ad i'm working on here in Lebanon, which of these sound best for native English speakers?

1. One problem gone
2. One problem less
3. One problem down
4. One less of a problem

I mean to say in the slogan that with all the problems you face in this stage of your life "Product name" has a solution for one of them, aka a problem less to worry about.

Please number them with 1 being best and 5 worst.

Thanks so much for your cooperation

1 is the best of the four, in my opinion ("gone" is a hard-hitting, attention-getting word in English, and can be effective in ads, if used right). 3 is a distant second best (the word "down" has many negative connotations in English and has to be used very carefully in ads; it's not the right word here, in my view). 4 is ungrammatical. 2 is awkward-sounding to the point of being almost ungramm

"One less problem" sounds good to me. (Pedantically it could be argued that "less" should be "fewer", but in reality people say "One less problem".)

Thanks for your input! I also like the slogan "One problem busted" however I'm still uncertain if it applies to my product? My product is Acuvue lenses... I'm targeting teenagers (Which i believe the word "Busted" will be appealing to them), but can glasses be busted?

Wearing glasses is the problem.. they go away when they choose to wear lenses..

Teenagers are always self conscious when it comes to their looks... and during this phase, they face lots of problems, acne, braces (for those who wear them), glasses... problems with parents etc..

So my lenses brand... will help teenagers get rid of one of these problems.. which is the glasses..

People won't consider that as a problem.
