| Pros: | it helped a little, does not irritate skin, feels nice on, smells kind of nice. |
| Cons: | SO many steps, doesnt get rid of all acne, once i got rid of it i REALLY broke out. so i suggest u dont use it. |
| Bottom Line: | just stay away...why use it to find out it doesnt work well and then brake out because the product you used that didnt work...caused you to break out.. |
| Recommended: | No |

| Pros: | the price is good and it's advertised by celebrities |
| Cons: | dries and burns your skin the refining mask takes 2 weeks to shrink one pimple and it leaves your skin looking red and oily |
| Bottom Line: | proactive doesn't work at all. Don't waste your money on this terrible product. The refinig mask did the exact opposite of what was promised and instead of me waking up to see my pimples smaller if not gone I woke up to see them red and pretty much worse than before. The renewing cleanser made my skin peel and the repairing toner made my skin greasy. Once again don't waste your money on proactive because even though many celebrities CLAIM that it worked wonders on their skin they're all getting paid to say that. |

| Pros: | Makes your face feel clean I guess |
| Cons: | The toner burns like heck! Really dried out my face and made it painful for days after using it just once! |
| Bottom Line: | I would not use this, I tried it about 3 months ago, was in pain while using it but though my face /skin would get used to it. After maybe a month I stopped using it, still hurt afterwards. 2 nights ago I figured I'd try it again, have not used it since because my face is dry and painful from one time use! |

| Pros: | - cleared up my acne in almost 3 weeks
- i have combination skin and it worked well for me.
- pretty much affordable |
| Cons: | - the scent is a little bad, it takes getting used to
- causes my overall skin to look red
- the scars are there, redder than ever, it actually looks like pimples. but it's not. |
| Bottom Line: | proactiv works if you give it a little time, generally here in the caribbean the climate is hot so the bp in the product tends to irritate skin during the day. I've used at least 10 acne products, including differen, murad, clear active, clean and clear, neutrogena, diane 35, atibiotics, clearasil. and proactiv is the only thing that agrees with my skin, the sking lightening lotion SUCKS. and my marks are still there, but i cover that up with makeup , i'm just glad the bumps aren't there. if there's something that works just as well to get rid of the bumps but with less redness for more or less the same price, let me know! |

| Pros: | This product gets shipped right to you, you don't have to go out and buy it whenever you run out and it is unscented. |
| Cons: | It makes acne worse, there are 3 steps, you have to use the first step for 1-2 minutes, it makes skin oily, and it is expensive. |
| Bottom Line: | This product doesn't work and it is too expensive and you have to pay $40 every two months. It makes acne worse and it doesn't help at all. I hated this product. It is too much of a hassle to do all three steps twice a day. It also mad my face feel oily. |

| Pros: | well it kept new zits from appearing fro the first few weeks but the old ones stayed. my skin was very smooth though and no longer shiney. i used the reg formula but switching to extra strength. |
| Cons: | the system is too much to do every dy twice a day, didnt clear deep blemishes or black head even after two months. not enough in each bottle, u have to use like a little drop when u need more, a lot more |
| Bottom Line: | it did improve my skin but not up to expectations. but ill see how the ES works. so basically it did help a lot and im pretty happy with it, better than anyhting i've ever used. |

| Pros: | i started to see results immediatley and it kept my face not COMPLETELY clear, but clear fo the most part. |
| Cons: | you start to break out if you go a day without using it, and to see results, you have to use the products together |
| Bottom Line: | I really like proactive. I've been using it for about 4 years and i use it twice a day. I have really oily skin, so i've recently started using the daily oil control and i can really tell a difference. My face still has a little oil but not near as much. |

| Pros: | - Does clear out acne to a certain extent
- Feels decent on the the skin
- No side effects |
| Cons: | - Doesn't work as well as promised
- Breakouts still occur, but less severe than before. |
| Bottom Line: | Does work to a point, but doesn't go through completely. Still have mild and at times mild/moderate acne on forehead. Pimples and breakouts do appear, despite continuous use and clearing of some acne. |

| Pros: | I DONT KNOW WHAT U GUYS R TALKING ABOUT!I LOOOOOOOVE proactiv! i didnt dry out my skin, and cleared most of my acne within 2 weeks.
and i adore the refining mask =D |
| Cons: | the smell is a little strong, but definately worth it =D. and acne increases slightly initially, but clears up fast after that. |
| Bottom Line: | i hav moderately severe acne, having anywhere from 10 to 30 pimples on my face @ any 1 time, so while i still hav a few pimples left, its a HUGE IMPROVEMENT from what i looked like before! no joke, while it sounds like it doesnt work 4 everybody, it definately worked 4 me, and u should giv it a try. |
