| Cons | I've always had mild acne, and it doesn't go away. But one time my mild acne got out of control because I was hitting puberty, and I used proactive. For a week my skin cleared up and I was happy, then 2 days later I broke out again. |

| Pros | It works well if you know how to apply it to your face. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Nothing much. |
| Bottom line | It IS perfect for people who have oilly skin! Really, put alot on your face not a pea sized amount because really it will not work if you use a little. It works by using micro-sized sponges that absorb excess oils and keeps your skin to a moderate oilness. |

| Bottom line | This product did not work for me. I used it for two months straight making sure that I used it exactly how I was instructed and it made things worse. I have just finished the second month and I have not seen any improvements at all |

| Pros | Cleared up about 50% of my acne! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Totally discolored my skin!Dont no why it did this but I used the proactiv system for 3months and although it cleared up some of my acne it discolored my skin and my clothes and fabrics!If someone knows the reason for this discoloration please tel me |
| Bottom line | I wouldn’t recommend this product! I didn’t like the smell of any of there products especially the moisturizer! Ive tried differin, eryacne gel, and proactiv which all discolored my skin, now ive just started sedamed products along with taking zinc and doxy-50 tablets! Only been taking it for 3 days so can’t comment about it, but if it doesn’t work man im going to be super pissed!!!! |

| Cons | Proactive repairing lotion contains ceteareth 20 which is a MAJOR comedogenic (it can clog your pores and actually cause break outs) |
|---|---|
| Bottom line | Don't buy Proactive. You can get 2.5% BP products otc for WAY cheaper...ie: Neutrogena on the spot acne treatment. You don't need all of the so-called steps the proactive tries to sell. Plain ol' BP in a base that is NON-COMEDOGENIC is just as effective |

| Pros | cleared up my skin right away! my skin looks better and feels better! I feel it is VERY affordable |
|---|---|
| Cons | sometimes I feel a little bit of burning and it dried out my neck. |
| Bottom line | So many people have said that proactive is expensive but have you ever bought anything other that a face wash from a drug store? go to any salon or department store and just try to beat this price! I have spent much more money on many, many other product! This product works better and is cheaper!!!!!! |

| Pros | It helped clear up my acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | i can only use it alone, and not with the system. I use different face products and this BP |
| Bottom line | Its great but don't get the entire system because the bp and harsh chemicals in all the products screw up your skin. Use gentle products or natural products in conjunction with the ProActive BP. Overall its a great BP By itself |

| Pros | Works well, failry easy regime to follow |
|---|---|
| Cons | Lost effectivness after 4ish months, Having to listen to cheesy testimonials from heavily paid pop stars.. |
| Bottom line | Proactive worked so well for me. I initially used it in combination with my topical antibiotic (DalacinT) which was fine. Then ran out of Dalacin and used it on its own, still fine. But now am starting to break out again, maybe I should keep the two together again? I never really found it 'smoothed' my skin all that much, or cleared my blackheads/under-the-skin tiny spots. But it did help my mild/moderate cystic chin acne, for which I'm grateful. |

| Pros | Really helped clear up my skin. Lessened cystic acne, but didn't prevent it altogether. Lessened the duration of breakouts. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Became too drying on my skin as I've gotten older. BP discolors clothing and linens. Ultimately contributed to increase in sunspots (even with SPF oil free moisturizer). Had to stop using. |
| Bottom line | I definitely recommend this product to teens and folks in their 20s and even 30s. It sure helped for me, and yes, it's a bit pricey (especially with shipping), but cheaper than a dermatologist. Once I passed 35, it seemed to be too much for my skin. Make sure you protect your skin with sunscreen when using this product!! You're much more sensitive to the sun when using this regularly. |
