| Pros | Every time I stop it and try another brand I end up reordering Proactiv. Within a few days my skin improves. I am 46 and tend to still break out with terrible pimples.Proactiv has definitely eliminated this problem. Gentle formula is excellent. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The lotion could smell nicer. The wash is fine. It's a bit pricey, but not much more than the store bought others. It does last a few months.I use it twice a day--just need a small amount with warm water. |
| Bottom line | This product has been a blessing for me. I kept breaking out with horrible/embarassing welts that lasted a week or two---even in my 40s. Proactiv calms my skin down and keeps things under control. I don't use the one with benzol peroxide because it makes my eyes swell and burns my skin. The gentle formula works extremely well for me. |

| Pros | Proactive Regular Formula Works wonders on preventing acne and inflamed pimples |
|---|---|
| Cons | Does not work too well on older pimples underneath skin |
| Bottom line | Both my teenage daughter and I are using the Proactive and it works better than anything else I've ever tried. I am in my 40s and still get hormonal or stress-related breakouts, if I don't use something to prevent them. I would give it 2 thumbs up -- make that 4 thumbs, my daughter's as well... |

| Pros | I was using the regular proactive and it was great except little drying. I used it for two weeks it felt and made my skin look great. |
|---|---|
| Cons | After two weeks it made my skin worse than ever. I went back to regular proactive for about two weeks know and it's not working for me anymore. I'm very depressed and regreat ever changing my routine. |
| Bottom line | Don't buy it! |

| Pros | No peeling, no red face, skin felt soft and really smooth after washing with it, very hydrating, skin has almost completely cleared |
|---|---|
| Cons | Expensive, the night cream smells a bit odd |
| Bottom line | I've used Acne Complex in the past and the original Proactive and both of them made my skin peel to no end and I still had severe breakouts all over my cheeks. So it was flaking and pimples all at once. This gentel formula is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It cleared my skin almost completely. I get literaly maybe one zit once a month and its really small. It blew me away cause I've been struggling with this for almost 4 years now. I'm just sad that it took me so long to realize this formula was out there. Great product, I will use this for the rest of my life. |

| Pros | It works. It doesn't dry the skin like the Regular formula does. There's a mild tingly sensation, but it was very refreshing. It doesn't "burn" or irritate my skin. I didn't find the fragrance bothersome. Is NOT that strong. My skin is awesome now!!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Perhaps the price, but it is worth it |
| Bottom line | To the idiot Alby from Chicago and the other loser in L.A. they are obviously pulling people's legs. If you got so depressed then do us all a favor, jump from the highest building or eat bullets. You obviously deserve it and the world will become a better place when you're gone. |

| Pros | Cleared my skin, doesn't dry skin out! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Cost, but common... all good acne stuff is pricey. |
| Bottom line | I used Proactiv the regular formula for almost two years, it SEVERELY dried me skin out so I stopped using it and began breaking out again. I heard about the Gentle formula and decided to give it a try... it is INCREDIBLE! It took about 2 weeks to clear my skin fully and since then I have only had one single break out - it keeps my skin really hydrated, and I like that the night lotion has a tingly zing to it, it kinda feels cool. So far this product has been the only thing where I didn't need another outside brand moisturizer. |

| Pros | Much better than the regular formula and of course more gentle to the skin. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The night cream does give a bit of a burning sensation on your face. I sometimes take a blow-dryer to just dry the cream faster and decrease the pain. |
| Bottom line | I tried the regular proactiv and it didn't do much to my skin. It cleared up my acne for a few months than came back worse than ever. So I gave up on the product. Than I read a review on this website and decided to try the gentle formula. Since then, I have been pretty clear other than the occasional time of the month break-outs. I apply another layer of moisturizer after using the system. Also, sometimes I would use clean and clear 10% Benzoyl Peroxide and put them over the pimples....worked like a charm...Bottom Line is that it will work if you used it everyday and follow all the directions...consistency is key. |

| Pros | Made my mild acne the WORST ever. I have stopped using it for over a month now and I am continuing to break out with large, painful, red cysts and bumps. My skin was never like this before. It did not work for me, and now I'm super depressed! |
