| Pros: | Great product worked very well for me |
| Cons: | Great result in juz 5 days. But dont mess up with the steps and use twice a day. |
| Bottom Line: | If this product is not curing ur acne then u should consult a doctor. All ordinary kinds of acne is cleared with this product. But not a solution for hormonal imbalance....thanks |

| Pros: | It did clear up my acne... at first. |
| Cons: | After the first few months, it's like I wasn't even using anything. |
| Bottom Line: | When I first started, it cleared up my acne and I felt like doing a Proactiv commercial to let everyone know how great it works. After over a year of using, I finally found something else. After about three months of using it, I noticed that I kept getting more and more pimples. Soon, I noticed that I had little underground zits all over my chin and nose. I freaked out because my skin never looked like that. I kept with it, thinking it would clear up and it just didn't change. My acne WAS light.. Now it's moderate. Thanks Proactiv. -It was 49.95 for every two months. |

| Pros: | Cleared up my smaller bumps on my face and minimized the red acne I had and red splotches on my face. |
| Cons: | Dried up my skin really badly around my eyes and mouth. |
| Bottom Line: | Proactiv works better for some people rather than others, and can really dry up your skin. |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Pros: | I'd tried everything before proactiv without results. I didn't believe there would be the quick fix, but for me, proactiv works 100% and I'm delighted. No spots since the second week of using proactiv - over a year now. Worth every cent. |
| Cons: | I use it religiously twice a day so no cons around it's effectiveness. However, learnt the hard way - don't get it on your clothes (especially cheap material as it will be ruined). Use white towels only. |
| Bottom Line: | Without exaggeration, it's been the best find for me in terms of health and beauty. I read all the reviews before I decided to buy it and it might not work for everyone but it's made a huge difference to me. Honestly, my only regret is that I didn't give it a go 14 years ago when I first started getting acne. Why did I put up with it for so long unnecessarily?! |

| Pros: | I worked pretty good-the refining mask was great!!! |
| Cons: | it made my skin red, but no bumps also the oil treatment really dries out your skin- don't use it |
| Bottom Line: | I guess everyone is different- but I've used it for aobut a year, and it's still working pretty good, but you should probably also use it with a moisturizer |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Pros: | It works at first but not later... |
| Cons: | well if you stop it doesn't work. also it doesn't work for some people. it doesn't help me anyore.
70 dollars |
| Bottom Line: | I have been using proactive for a month and a half, and it started working at first. My skin was tight and clearing up. But then after two weeks it was the same. I don't know maybe if i am applying it wrong but it doesn't work anymore. I have been using it twice a day. |
