| Pros: | Managed my acne well |
| Cons: | Never completely got rid of it Tad expensive |
| Bottom Line: | This product has helped me manage my acne well over the last year or so. I still get the occasional break out and pro active has never completely eliminated my acne.
good product over all |

| Pros: | Affordable, great customer service, easy to use, it works if used daily and consistently (as most skin treatments are to be used) |
| Cons: | Can be tricky to find the right treatment package |
| Bottom Line: | I used the original proactive system for about 2 months, and my skin errupted! I called in to their customer service, and the rep said it was probably purging my skin, but not strong enough to clear everything that came up. So she offered to send me the extra strength kit to try. Amazingly, it worked! My skin was super dry, so I had to adjust my usage of the lotion. After I had clear skin for some time, I switched to some fancier, more expensive products reccomended by my aesthetician. I broke out again and again, so now I have reordered the proactive! The customer service rep I spoke to was fantastic, she helped me figure out the best way for me to order the products I need to not waste my money with too frequent shipments. I have high standards and did not expect proactive to work, I ordered it because it was cheap and I was desperate. I am happy to have a line that works and I get five products for the price of ONE of my other ineffective products. |

| Pros: | It worked very well for me for a while with consistent use. If I skipped a night or two, I would get breakouts.After 2 years of using it I started to break out more frequently. |
| Cons: | Drying, but all acne medication is. |
| Bottom Line: | Never visited a dermatologist until recently. (in late 20's) After going I was informed that there are much cheaper (if you have insurance) and much more effective solutions avaliable if you go to a dermatologist. Wish I had done it sooner. But if going to a doc is not an option, pro activ is not bad. |

| Pros: | Proactive works great (if you use all three products every day). It only stings a little bit when you put on the toner. (I decided that meant it was 'working'.) |
| Cons: | Proactiv is a little, um, labor-intensive. I did it once a day. (Who has time?) I also didn't need the 'automatic' membership, the 'automatic' charge to my credit card, and the 'automatic' shipment every other month. |
| Bottom Line: | Use it if you have mild to moderate acne, rich parents, and too much time on your hands. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | Jenna has used this item for an inconsistent period of time. |

| Pros: | none |
| Cons: | everything! |
| Bottom Line: | Proactiv is a scam! I ordered this product and then, after seeing additional research, decided it was not for me. I called them and they told me I "could not cancel the order" and "this is how our system works"... Sounds a bit borderline-legal to me... As I tried to cancel, the customer service rep (who was not very nice) tried to convince me I was wrong and started to ask me all kinds of questions about my skin and how I could get my money back within 60 days, etc, but I know by that time I'd have 3 more shipments charged to me. I said nothing and she kept persisting. I'm really upset that their service is so terrible and that they are such a scam! |
