| Pros | Has everything you would need to maintain a good skin care regimen like face wash/toner/moisturizer. Does not dry out your skin and actually leaves it feelings clean and moisturized. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Leaves your skin a bit shiny looking. *MUST* maintain and use the product regularly. (If you are a busy person and dont think you can maintain it. Dont use it) |
| Bottom line | Ive been using proactive gentle formula for a little over a week now and i must say that i truly do see a major difference in my pimples. It has gotten rid of a major amount of pimples i had around my jawline and forehead area. Im not too sure yet if its helping with my old acne scars but i think its a bit too early to jump to conclusions right now. So far i am very pleased at what this product has done for my acne. I also like the fact with proactive that i am not using too many different brands and companies on my face. I know that all the steps in proactive are designed to work together as a team. **My advice would be to just follow the directions and dont over use the recommended dosage. **Also i recommend buying the refining mask. They all work wonders and is like an nba allstar team =) **PLEASE MAINTAIN this routine or it may backfire. Do not get lazy and skip any of the steps. **ALSO after using the toner. YES your face and acne will turn bright red and look worse but dont worry it will go away within a few minutes. GOOD LUCK |

| Pros | I have use it for 3 weeks now and it does not dry my face. It gives it moisture. i helps close your pores and clean your face from acne spots. its suppose to help you heal faster also |
|---|---|
| Cons | after the second week, its giving up on me. I have oily skin and this just makes it look worse. I feel i am drowning in oil and then i have to tap it out with a paper and maybe that is incrementing the pimples, but i am getting little pimples. |
| Bottom line | I just try almost everything out there/ I used proactive regular and it work but dry and made me red spots by irritation. I switch to gentle formula and it really help for the first two weeks. The problem is that I think is not good with oily skin and in Miami with the humidity it may make it worse. I have used it twice a day and wash my face 3 times a day. i always do this bc my oily face. I know people out here will say that -that is the reason your face is more oily, but not is my genes. anyways.. I have used in the morning and in two hours my face looks like drench in sweat I will try to stop wiping it and wait but then i see peoples growing around my temple and cheeks. very small but they could bet worse. I don't think this works on oily skin, and I am thinking of using the gentle with the normal formula. I have not saw any reviews with people with oily skin. |

| Pros | Works quickly, moisturizes skin, doesn't "burn" face |
|---|---|
| Cons | A little pricey, PM lotion does smell a little weird, took about 3 weeks to see a ture difference |
| Bottom line | This product works! I have had acne pretty severely since I was 13 years old and I'm 37 now. I also have very oily skin. I have been to dermatologists, seemed to have tried everything out there and spent thousands of dollars on products that made promises, but just didn't work. I decided to give this a try - I figured - Why not? I am so glad that I did. For the first time in 14 years, I feel beautiful and I don't feel as if people are looking at my breakouts - just at me. Give this a try. You really have nothing to lose. They offer a 60 day money back guarantee and they do stand by it. I tried the regular formula first and had to send it back. It was too strong for me. Their customer service was great!, refunded my money and then suggested the gentle formula. I tired it about a month later and the rest is beautiful history. :) |

| 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. |
