Pros:the sensitive toner was nice, no benz or salicylic but Proactiv won't sell that item alone
Cons:regular and sensitive caused my skin to be dry and flaky; doesn't eliminate breakouts
Bottom Line:too expensive and hard to obtain the sensitive line. Company wants you to join club and get whole box of stuff when only one of their products is any good.

Pros:*Clears Skin With Continued Use
Cons:*Dries Out Skin
*Expensive
Bottom Line:I used this product for about a year and it cleared my skin pretty well. The auto-charge was annoying but you can call them and change it so you can pay it AFTER you receive the product. I stopped using it and it all came baaack! Keep using it, dont get lazy and stop using it. If it dries out your skin try only using the 3-Step at night and a good exfoliater and maybe a light oil free moisturizer in the morning. Then your supply should last twice as long so you can go in and change your account to receive it only once every 90 or 120 days instead of 60. Also if you notice you only want the cleanser you can change your account to just get 3 cleansers (or 2 cleansers and a lotion etc.) If you are tired of wasting your money in drug stores on empty promises and you can afford it, DO IT! My self esteem has tripled.

Pros:helps really bad acne, but doesn't do much for small pimples
Cons:dries out your skin a lot around the mouth (I have never had dry skin before until I used proactive) and is really expensive
Bottom Line:if you have severe acne try it but if your acne is not severe than go with something else

Pros:Works great for a few years. The first time I used it at age 16 it cleared up my moderate almost overnight, literally. It was amazing.
Cons:Incredibly expensive. Works only if you continue to use it.
Bottom Line:I think this is a good product but you can't stop using it. It worked amazingly for me for 2 years. Once I stopped for 2 years and started again it never worked the same way. It is just so expensive. Overall, though, it has been the best product I have used for my moderate acne which it still a daily issue for me. If you can afford continual use I recommend it.

Pros:i just started using it like 4 days ago and my skin is a tiny bit smooth.
Cons:it makes it really itchy after you use it and it gets rid of small pimples not that much withBIG ones. i'll see after a month if its good or not worth it.
Bottom Line:i think that its working for my skin. the only thing that works for me is the toner and the mask thing. my forehead has LOTS of pimples and when i first starting using it , it took away the small bumps but kept the big red ones that hurt. i think you should try it cuz it may work for some skin types or maybe it wont. after a month i'm gonna see if its been working good on my skin or if its not worth the money at all.

Pros:Cleared up pimples on my face (even though I was really red for a little while after every use)when using it twice a day. I liked how I could switch my monthly supply to every other month since I wasn't using it up as fast.
Cons:Dried out my skin when using it two times a day within 2 weeks of using it, I even went to one use a day yet it wasn't as effective in keeping the pimples away. Doesn't clean the makeup off of my face. It's expensive.
Bottom Line:It worked at first for me, but than I'd breakout and dry out my face. When I would exercise (no makeup on) I always tingled and broke out in a rash. I would recommend trying it at least to see if it works for you.
