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!

Pros ??????
Cons 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!
Bottom line Don't buy this unless you are willing to take the chance of going through a horrible breakout first, which could be lasting!

Pros smelled alright
worked for awhile
felt good on my skin
Cons made me breakout really badly after awhile
dried my cheeks out
Bottom line This product worked for about 2 weeks and then i had one of the worst breakouts of my life. Even though it didn't work for me, I guess it's worth a shot because I know other people that have used this product and have great skin.

Pros It doesn't dry your skin and no "red face" like with the regular formula. This is the only product I have used that really worked. I have only had one small breakout since I started using it and before I started using it I kept a breakout.
Cons Little more expensive than others, but the others don't work.
Bottom line It is worth paying a little extra to get great results. I love it and will contine using it forever.

Pros It worked well with my sensitive sink, made it glow, and instead of drying out my skin, it kept it hydrated.
Cons I would like it to be a little cheaper, but it's definetley worth it.
Bottom line I've tried sooo many other ance products. Proactiv Gentle Formula was the only one that worked for me. I have no pimples right now. =) It made me feel so much more confident in my appearance. You really should try it!

Pros I sell Proactiv and have been using it for several years now. The regular system dried my skin out, so I decided to try to gentle formula. It really works! It keeps my skin hydrated, evened out discolorations (hyperpigmentation) and keeps myskinclear
Cons don't like the night cream because it's too much moisture for my oily skin... so I use the day cream at night. Also, the mask isn't included in this kit, but it's a miracle worker when used as a spot treatment.
Bottom line TRY IT! You have nothing to lose. There's a 60 day money back guarantee!! What other products can say that?
