| Pros | It got rid of a few zits. |
|---|---|
| Cons | SUCKS! I thought it was a lotion! Why, then, would it make my skin dry, flaky and itchy? Don't use this. |
| Bottom line | Horrible. HORRIBLE |
| Recommended | No |
| Acne severity | moderate |

| Pros | A bit of initial clearup |
|---|---|
| Cons | Took no time at all for my skin to get immune, and became useless. I literally stopped washing my face altogether for a week to the same results as the three step Proactiv |
| Bottom line | Pretty much useless, to me. WAY overpriced, did no good. |
| Recommended | No |
| Price paid | $50.00 |

| Pros | you can say you use such a well known brand (thats about all i can think of) |
|---|---|
| Cons | it is expensive, it drys out your skin without getting rid of acne, there are alot of steps that ultimately do nothing |
| Bottom line | It is good if you have the occasional pimple on your face but rubbish for acne sufferers and teenagers with alot of oil. |
| Recommended | No |
| Price paid | $111.00 |

| Pros | None. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Expensive. Made me break out so bad, I quit using it. Am now using tretinoin and it has saved me from the damage Pro Active caused. |
| Bottom line | Some people just don't have good results from benzoil peroxide. I'm 36 yrs old. I have tried everything. This product may work for some people, but not at all for me. I broke out in areas that I never usually have problems with. |
| Recommended | No |

| Pros | -It really works! It dries up your pimples and speeds up the healing process. |
|---|---|
| Cons | -It removes the pimples but it leaves scars. It also gives this unbelievable itchiness. |
| Bottom line | The lotion makes it veeerryyy itchy but if you have self control, it's bearable. I noticed a pimple growing two days ago and so I applied the lotion for two consecutive nights. Right now, it's still there but it is on its late stages. I use this with ProActiv Renewing cleanser (WHICH IS THE BEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED!) and proactiv toner. |
| Recommended | Yes |

Bri from Los Angeles

| Pros | Very light and feels really great when applied to face. The fragrance isn't too strong and smells fresh, actually. Cleared my exsisting acne to an extent. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Tends to dry out my face just a little and does make me flake a little. In the T zone it does the opposite of drying out, it actually makes me more oily. (but the Refining Mask takes care of that.) |
| Bottom line | Clears up face but does also dry it out. USE THE GREEN TEA MOISTURIZERRRR! ITS AMAZING |
| Recommended | Yes |

| Pros | Great results for the first few days. |
|---|---|
| Cons | After that my skin was super tight, itchy, burning, etc. |
| Bottom line | I've tried the entire Proactiv line twice and seen the same results both times. I thought my skin was pretty tough, but these products totally scorched it. I had amazing results for a few days, but then my skin was SO tight, dry and painful that I stopped using them. Plus, this stuff is super expensive for what you get. Try it if you want, just to satisfy your curiosity. It's not the miracle cure it claims to be, but hey maybe it'll work for you. You can find better products in the drug store that cost a lot less. |
