| Pros: | it worked well when it actually worked |
| Cons: | too high-maintenance and time-consuming, way too expensive for the quality of the product |
| Bottom Line: | i used this regimen for about 2 years. it took about a month to see any results and then i was relatively clear for a while. after about a year and a half it just stopped working and i got annoyed. who wants to pay that much when it no longer works? |

| Pros: | Gets rid of most acne and redness, skin looks even and has a smoother texture. |
| Cons: | Left my face very dry for the first few weeks, the bottles break easily. You have to avoid sunlight/ultraviolet exposure & therefore must also use a sunscreen. |
| Bottom Line: | Proactiv has worked well for me, although I can only use it once a day because it really dries out my face because of this I have to use a moisturiser after the repairing lotion.
You may need to adjust the amount you use, and build up your usage slowly to avoid peeling/redness. |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Pros: | none |
| Cons: | -didnt work
-dried face out
-made face burn like hell |
| Bottom Line: | i was reeally dissapointed with proactiv. i thought maybe it would be the thing to get rid of my acne, but it didnt work for me at all!!! not only did it not have an effect on my acne, it completley dried out my face and made it all flaky and it burned like a mf. i dk if i was using it wrong or what, and ill probably try it again, but whatever the hell was in that stuff did NOT like my skin. |

| Pros: | i honestly don't have anything good to say about it. i used it for a month straight and didn't see a bit of difference after using it like i was supposed to for a whole month |
| Cons: | the green tea moisturizer burned my skin so bad that it took a few days before the redness was gone. they seem to really stress that proactive doesn't dry out your skin at all, but mine started to peel after about a week and a half. |
| Bottom Line: | proactive is a waste of money. their commercials are made to psychologically trick you into thinking that their products are made for "every person, every skin type" but no one's skin is the same. i always wonder how much they end up paying celebrities to say that they use proactive? |
| Recommended: | No |

| Pros: | well... it smells decent .
gets rid of shinyness (if u have any)
it works for the first week or two |
| Cons: | BAD commercial.. rip off definately .
NOT the same results you'd expect.
DRYS OUT YOUR SKIN..my skin had NEver felt soooo dry before. which made me break out even worse. obviously like peeling off layers of your skin |
| Bottom Line: | if it works for you go ahead.
for me?? well it didnt really...
it stripped my skin off just making my skin irritated && red .
acne goes away within a week or two..
but since it strips off your skin ( F.Y.I i have t-zone skin and my skin is mid- sensitive) its going to leave redness behind |
