| Pros | ...unfortunately none. |
|---|---|
| Cons | right after 5 minutes i put it on, it made my skin SUPER dry. and my face is always oily. my face got itchy and it showed that it was dry because my face started peeling very severely. |
| Bottom line | bottom line? JUST MADE IT VERY VERY VERY DRY AND IRRITATED! not so much redness but it was unbelieva believably DRY! i really couldnt believe how dry it was. |

| Pros | *Clears up blemishes quickly. *Good consistency. *You can 'feel' it working. |
|---|---|
| Cons | *Intially when first using dries up skin an irritates. *Rather on the expensive side. |
| Bottom line | Despite the cost, one of the best acne treatments available! I have used other treatments of B.P. before but I didn't consider them as effective. Skin can be a bit flacky when first using (actually felt like burning for me) but this was kind of reassuring that it was actually working. If you do flake, use an exfoliator as part of your regimen (occasionally) and get a half-decent moisturiser. Tip: Buy the larger 90ml bottles off of ebay; saves money & time. Five stars, two thumbs and all the rest. |

| Pros | cleared up a bit not completely.... |
|---|---|
| Cons | left my skin dry and swollen eyes. |
| Bottom line | I think that this is good only for those who do not have sensitive skin. give it a try and if it doesn't work get your money back. |

| Pros | nice consistency. helps clear up breakouts. |
|---|---|
| Cons | leaves skin VERY dry in the winter especially when used two times a day as recommended. Doesn't clear skin all the way, only partially. Smells of sulphur-yuck |
| Bottom line | too expensive, too smelly. doesn't work much better than cheaper options out there |
| Recommended | No |

| Pros | cleared up my skin the first couple months (i also used the proactiv cleanser,toner, and mask thing) |
|---|---|
| Cons | it dried my skin up, but it was all good after i got a decent moisterizer. then it actually caused my skin to break out after a couple months so i stopped using it. |
| Bottom line | idk...unless you have severe acne i proably wouldnt recommend it. |

| Pros | Worked at preventing acne for the first few months. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The price. Didn't do much for existing acne. |
| Bottom line | There are certainly much more affective and reasonably-priced benzoyl peroxide moisturizers out there. Save your money. |
| Recommended | No |

| Pros | My acne started to disappear in a matter of days. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The fragrance of this product caused the skin around my eyes to become swollen, dry and red. Obviously proactiv is not for sensitive skin! |
| Bottom line | For those of you people who don't have a sensitive skin issue I would say this is an excellent product. I am not sure if I am allergic to BP or if it is just the fragrance which has been added to the repairing lotion. |
| Recommended | No |

| Pros | Works for most people if no allergic reaction. |
|---|---|
| Cons | I am allergic to benzoyl peroxide. Even in such a small dose. So I break out in red and itchy rashes wherever I use this treatment. |
| Bottom line | Make sure you're not allergic before you use this. Even at only a 2.5% dose. If you are allergic and you decide to try it anyway, just be careful. The redness and itchiness lasts for at least a day. I'm sure if I wasn't allergic, it would work great for me. |
| Recommended | No |
