| Pros | Works great |
|---|---|
| Cons | A bit expensive and the benxoyl peroxide bleaches out bed and bath linens. Beware. |
| Bottom line | I started using this product in my 40's due to cystic acne that never went away. I am still using it at age 53 and love the skin care regimen. It seems when I get breakouts they are in areas where I do not apply the product, such as right along the hairline, in nose creases or on the bottom of my chin. It really works when applied. |

| Pros | Great fix for 4-5 months |
|---|---|
| Cons | Stops working there-after! |
| Bottom line | I was so excited when my skin cleared up after only 2 weeks of using the Pro-active system. I was clean n clear for about 6 months when for no apparent reason my acne became resistant. I would recommend, but it won't last forever :-( |

| Pros | Clears up an individual blemish well when used overnight. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Drys out skin if you use to much. |
| Bottom line | I find it's better to use it on place your already have breakouts, I don't think it did much to PREVENT mine. |

| Pros | By itself, it works miracles for me. I use it day and night, and rarely get an occasional zit now. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Mainly price, and the hassle of dealing with a "club" and their aweful customer service and billing mistakes. Make sure to cancel all monthly shipments, before they send you more and charge your card even more! |
| Bottom line | Using this, by itself- not the whole P.O.S. proactive kit, works great. I just wash my face with a fragrance free soap (Pure & Natural), and only use this lotion afterward, and I dont have to worry about breakouts. As a teen, I had aweful acne. The only thing that worked for me in my teen years, was either prescription treatments (pills and creams), or proactive. Now I'm 25 years old, and I still am stuck with acne. But its under control, now that I've found out what actually works for my skin. People say that because the main ingredient in this is the same as OTC products, you'll be fine with the store bought alternatives. Not really, if you have acne! Almost everyones' skin reacts differently to different products. I have yet to find a store bought product that works for my skin, besides Stridex Day/Night. But that isn't sold near me anymore. |

| Pros | Worked really great. My skin had never been this clear and I used it every other day. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Caused chronic sinusitis and eventually severe allergic reactions to benzol peroxide and salacylic acid. |
| Bottom line | The product is great for most people but since I'll never be able to use it again, it wasn't worth the six months of my life it took away with doctors and treatments. Now I'll only trust a dermatologist rather than a faceless company that gives no warnings about the possible consequences for taking their product. I was only checking for dryness, redness, flaking not facial inflammation and pain! |

| Pros | It works for the first few months. |
|---|---|
| Cons | After your skin gets used to it, it stops working. Also makes your skin quite oily if used twice a day. |
| Bottom line | I usually switch between two different products. One is Proactiv and this formula. That way my skin doesn't get used to just one product. |

| Pros | After a month or two you get lots of complements about your clear skin. Pretty easy to use and not really expensive. |
|---|---|
| Cons | You have to use it for a while, not just a week or two and then dump it. |
| Bottom line | It does take a month or more but once you've used it for that long i think it really does the trick. My face has fully cleared up and the pimples are not coming back while I still use this product. I have tried so many products, even really flashy expensive skin treatment lines and this has been the best by far. Will not ever go back to other products. |

| Pros | The product does work for me but it will not be a miracle. Your acne did not form overnight and its not going to go away overnight either. It took me about a month and a half for all of my acne to go away. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It is a little bit pricey. |
| Bottom line | It will take TIME for this product, or any product to work. You must be patient and use it for at least a month or two. |

| Pros | Makes you feel like you are a step closer to clear skin because it seems to work for the people on the commercial. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Unfortunately, I started with mild acne and it got worse. |
| Bottom line | Don't waste your money on this. It may or may not work for you and you can buy a product with the same active ingredient from your local drug store. It's a rip off. They offer the money-back guarantee, but how many people actually return the tubes when they are not satisfied? Whether you become a regular customer or not it doesn't matter. They only need you, and a million other people, to buy this once to produce a multi-million dollar revenue. |
