Pros cleared up my skin for the first few mths I used it.
stays clear if you use all the steps including the overnight mask
Cons the mask is not included in that expensive box they send you monthly!
Will dry the heck out of your face!
My skin got use to it so I had to by some cleaning pads to use after using the proactiv cleanser
Bottom line It is not worth the money you spend!
Will trick you because it is the best thing you have ever used at first.
I had to switch brands because its insane for me to spend that much money on something that is just okay

Pros Cleared up my skin
Cleanser is a great exfoliator
Cons Toner stings a bit
Very expensive for the amount
Very fragrant
Bottom line It did clear up my acne, but I used it in conjunction with a prescription medication, which I think did more to get rid of my acne, and proactiv helped to maintain that. I did wean myself off of both, to see how well my skin held up, and it's doing fine. I stopped using it mainly because it's expensive and I found better, cheaper and more natural products. For each of the products: the cleanser is quite abrasive, and I have tough, oily skin, so it worked for me. The toner stung, and I didn't feel like it did much, just dry out my skin even though there's no alcohol. The repairing lotion, I think, is a must. It keeps my pores clean, and that's the only thing I plan on repurchasing. I've heard a lot of people say the system stops working the instant you stop using it...thankfully not for me. Overall, this is really for people without sensitive, dry skin, who have the money, and aren't sensitive to fragrance. I would recommend this... But then again, not everyone has my skin type

Pros it comes in a kit
Cons your scars will darken ( it took me some years to realize that it was proactive)
your acne level clears up at first but plateaus and stays like that.
Bottom line doesn't work.

Pros Cleared acne fast-within the first week.
Cons Drys out skin, expensive, and you need to make sure you use it everyday to see results.
Bottom line It worked for me. I'm in my mid-twenties and struggled with acne all throughout high school and into adulthood. I was desperate to find a product that worked for me. Over-the-counter medications never did the trick. Finally, I gave in to all of the commercials and ads about Proactiv and bought it. It took a couple of days to really see the results. It may not work for some people, but Proactiv has a variety of products that you can pick and choose to better cater to your specific needs. I hear they just came out with a product for sensitive skin that is not so drying. I will most definitely be giving that a try.

Pros Honestly nothing. It didn't clear up my skin at all and left it incredibly dry. Had a bit of an off scent as well.
Cons It didn't clear up my skin at all and left it incredibly dry. Had a bit of an off scent as well. Be VERY cautious before buying this product.
Bottom line Not worth the money. Also take care when purchasing. I thought I was buying a one time kit, for 39.99. That is the first installment of a mandatory 3 time payment process. You will get two shipments and pay 99 dollars basically. Incredibly upset especially since I called before I purchased to make sure this wan't going to be the case. Lost a lot of money when it wasn't necessary.

Pros amazing! it works great! my acne cleared right up after TWO days. it only took two days! my skin felt amazingly soft. the next month i thought id try clean and clear acne advantage which turned out to be a horribly stupid idea and my acne came back so now im switching back to proactiv and i cant wait till it comes so my skin can feel amazing again.
Cons it doesnt smell as good as clean and clear, but it definitely works better!
Bottom line this is the best acne treatment that you will find. dont waste your money on anything else. so excited to get my new monthly supply!

Pros Acne disappears for the time Proactiv is used.
Cons Cleanser and moisturizer runs out quickly.
Acne comes back after stopping use.
Bottom line My acne just wouldn't go away, so I finally decided to try Proactiv because I heard that it worked. And it did.
In a couple weeks, the acne was disappearing and after a month or two, it was gone.
Because the cleanser runs out fast, I had to keep buying it. I finally decided to stop using Proactiv about a month ago. All the acne came back, twice as bad as it used to be before I started it. I'm contemplating whether to get back on Proactiv or not.
Price paid $60.00
