Pros:smells nice
Cons:cost too much, made skin dry, did not work
Bottom Line:I've been using Proactiv for the last 3 months. The first month I used it it totally cleared up my face. It was smooth and clear, I loved it. After that I started breaking out in places I didn't break out before. Now I have more acne than when I started and it's not clearing up at all. I cancelled my memebership and I'll never use it again.

Pros:Cleans dirt off your face
Cons:Costs a lot, doesn't remove acne, dries out skin too much for 15mins after use, then leaves skin crying like a battered rape victim.
Bottom Line:No good, no good at all for acne. Go see a Dermatologist.

Pros:The chick that sold em to me was hot?
Cons:Crap stuff. For starters every step of this "solution" can be bought individually at the pharmacist at a much cheaper price. Two, did not work and made everything worse. Skin peeling / red sore raw skin / more lesions.
Bottom Line:Sh*thouseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Recommended:No

Pros:Potentially dries out existing inflamed acne.
Cons:Expensive, over dries, harsh and irritates and strips the skin. Also makes you more oily as a result of the dryness.
Bottom Line:The worst choice I've ever made for my skin. I still have marks left from the dryness it caused. It dried me out so much that it caused scars. It did a decent job of getting rid of existing acne but it never prevented new acne from forming.
Recommended:No
