| Pros: | -worked at times
-nice smell, not too strong
-nice packaging, dispenses easily |
| Cons: | -only certain products had certain effects
-inconsistent with results
-tooexpensive for insufficient results |
| Bottom Line: | It is ok if you use certain products, but for others I would rather just wash my face with water than waste the time. I would recommend the clarifying cream with salycylic acid(helped prevent acne for me by 60%) |
| Recommended: | No |

| Pros: | Cheaper then most acne treatments. Lotion works fine |
| Cons: | Dries your face out, end up using the month supply before the month is over because of how dry your skin is. |
| Bottom Line: | Doesn't work. Would not recommend. The lotion is fine everything doesn't work. Did not clear up my face, all the dryness made me brake out even more. |
| Recommended: | No |

| Pros: | ive been using it for over a month and the texture of my skin has improved but a couple of white heads have broken into pimples. |
| Cons: | do remember to wash your hands with soap after applying it or you will end up bleaching your towel and also wait for it to dry up before going to bed |
| Bottom Line: | has worked for me but dont know how long to use it.its too expensive for regular use. |

| Pros: | cleared up under the skin acne and a fast way to get rid of overskin/underskin acne. |
| Cons: | It didn't really prevent zits.... everyday i had more. old ones were gone, but new ones kept popping up. |
| Bottom Line: | my acne wasn't that bad, but im a perfectionist. I was determinded to get better than not bad. Proactive really did help me with this goal. the first 3 weeks my acne was basiclly nonexistent.... but then my skin became irritated, dried out and peeling. i had to re-apply lotion at least 8 times a day.... it was awful. after that i cut down on my application, and then all the ance came back. after about a week of suffering through dry skin, blackheads and zits, i gave up and switched to a more promising product. eh. proactive is alright. doesn't work very well for harsh acne though. |

| Pros: | Easy 3 step process. Benzoyl Peroxide treatment |
| Cons: | NOT worth the insane dollar amounts they try to charge when you can go to your local Target and buy the same 3 step products off the shelf for half the cost. |
| Bottom Line: | I am a disappointed and angry customer after trying the product based on their $20 trial system. Not even 3 weeks after I received my package, I had another charge on my debit card!! I was not even aware that I was being signed up for recurring shipments and that they kept my credit card information. I immediately called to stop the delivery, but they said it had already been shipped. That was 10 days ago and I still have no product on my doorstep so we'll see. Stick to your regular acne wash or visit a doctor, this product is an example of a mega marketing campaign that will probably fade away in the next couple years. For most people, benzoyl peroxide should be used very sparingly and not on the sensitive skin on your face. Use the drugstore systems, they have the same ingredients for half the cost! |

| Pros: | I LOVE IT it keeps my face feeling fresh all day long and smooth i can already see it helping my face clear up:) |
| Cons: | the first step does make my face red when using it and it burns |
