Pros:Very Easy to use, little scent, fairly effective. It is important to note that I used the sensitive skin version.
Cons:Too little face wash compared with moisturizer and terminator
Bottom Line:It cleared my skin up about 97%. If I touched or pushed anything that looked like a zit, it would turn into one, but if I left everything alone, I was good. I ran out of the face wash really fast and would have to buy the entire system again which was really annoyed and means I have about 7 tubes of terminator.

Pros:I am very impressed with this product. You need to be persistent and use it for at least 2-3 weeks consistantly to see results but it really does keep the acne at bay and you wake up pimple free.
Cons:I use the toner (step 2) only once every other day since it dries out your skin and I have dry skin to begin with, therefore I use face moisturizer after step 1 and again after step 3 dries.
Bottom Line:I am hooked and will be using this product for a long time.

Pros:Clears up skin pretty good. I thought it was just another bogus package, but i just started it about five days ago and about half my face is clearing.Good pricing too.
Cons:Takes too long to show results. It''s proably take me three months to get the clear skin, but i can see results.
Bottom Line:IT WORKS.

Pros:the 10% benzolyl peroxide cream is quite good but it didnt get rid of my acne completely and stopped doing much after a while. The toner is good cos it makes skin less oily.
Cons:it didnt work!! theres so much hype about it but it did not work for me and i am VERY disappointed. it makes your skin extremely dry in the 1st week or two which can actually make you face look worse.
Bottom Line:this product may or may not work for you. it didnt work for me and i was very disappointed by this.

Pros:actually got rid of acne, unlike anything else i have tried
Cons:none really.
Bottom Line:I have the severe system.
Night:
Step 1, Step 2, Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer, Step 3.

Morning:
Rinse face with warm water, Aveeno moisturizer, Step 3.

I don't find step 4 that useful, but once in a while I will use it (instead of Step 3 at night) when I have absolutely no pimples and I will wake up with a brighter complexion.

Pros:This product Definately cleared my acne!!
And not only is it VERY Affordable But you get tons of product in one purchase.
Cons:Drys your skin out - Must use a moisterizer
Bottom Line:Well Bottom line i love this product! Of course there are some minor issues such as the drying or roughening of the skin, but for $15 im not complaining. Before using this product i had tons of tiny oily red bumps all over my forehead and nose. All other over the counter treatments did NOTHING, and i was skeptical about going down the Proactive route. After using acnee free severe for 1 week My acnee was Gone. CONSISTANCY IS KEY! Also when the product began to dry my skin out I reduced my usage of the scrub to 1 time a day and incorperated my own moisterizer after using the toner and the max strength repair lotion (morning) Also i find step 4 useless :]

Pros:This is the one product I have found that has really worked. on my 5th day and haven't had one new pimple. :) it also has a mild to no smell.
Cons:None. If you really want to take care of your acne, a little extra time shouldn't be a big issue. I had a little tiny bit of dryness but it's an acne medicine, so it's supposed to help oilyness. My only complaint is it's not in a pump.
Bottom Line:If you want to take control of your acne, get this stuff! If you have sensitive skin or are worried about redness, buy the sensitive skin type. Be patient with it, your skin will need a few weeks to adjust. Also, I only use it once a day in the morning and it still is working, so don't overload your skin by doing it 2x's a day until your skin can handle 1x.

Pros:Helped a lot
Cons:Took over 3 weeks to do it
Bottom Line:I am 24 and my acne came back with a vengeance, I've been in and out of dermatologists for years earlier in life and been on everything under the sun. My acne ended up coming back real bad about month and a half ago and I ended up picking this up as I never really gave benzoyl peroxide a chance. My acne got a lot worse at first but it finally stated working well and now I am happy with it. A lot cheaper than seeing a dermatologist and spending money on prescriptions.

Pros:It was clearing up my acne, it seemed to work the same as procactive for half the prices.
Cons:It dried up my skin so badly my face is pilling. I don't know if it is because i used it every night or the lotion was crap, i found the moisturizer really watery and didn't work very well my mom isn't letting me use.
Bottom Line:Iam not using it because it dried out my skin and made it very red. I would said yes use this product but get strong lotion with no Benzoyl stuff and maybe only use it at night then another product in the morning. I liked it because it was only have the price of most products for way more product
