Pros:

It softens your face
It somewhat clears acne

Cons:

It only works for people with barely any acne :(
It gets use to your skin so after awhile it stops working!

My friend gave me some proactive to try for a couple weeks, It worked at first then it stopped working. :( I would recommend it to people who have barely any acne though!

Cons:

Didn't work and company not following through with guarantee.

Called after 3 & 1/2 weeks to cancel since it was making worse. Representative told me we had to use for another 6 weeks. Just called again to cancel since its over 60 days. What a racket.

Pros:

-None

Cons:

-Doesnt work for me
-Caused more breakouts than I ever originally had
-Extremely expensive

This stuff just doesnt work for anyone I know who has tried it. And they automatically charge you after one month and send out a 3 month kit if you dont cancel in time. Return shipping is at your own expense.

Pros:

worked for a short period of time .....

Cons:

is very harsh and strips skin of its natual goodness, bp is irratating, toner has alcohol and the cleanser is like a scrub so ur scrubbing ur face twice a day.....BIG NO NO

i used this product because i was so desperate and uneducated about acne at that time, this product is too harsh and does nothing in the long run....only works for a short while until ur face gets immune to the bp %. it is not a good idea to be so harsh on ur skin, over drying and scrubbing only make things worse. good luck

Pros:

It made me believe that celebrities get paid to say anything!

Cons:

Dried out my skin, but I still had acne. Weird! The more I used it my skin started to get a rash from it.

Once I hit puberty my body said FU and my face looked like a PIZZA! YUCK! My parents took me to see a dermatologist and when that got expensive we bought Pro Active off QVC before it got all popular. I used the whole product and it sucked a$$! It dried out my face and I still had acne. About a week into it, my face started to get a rash. I heard an ad on the radio for Loma Lux Acne. I had my mom buy it for me and it really worked! I saw results in days! I used it that whole summer and when I started 7th grade no one recognized me! ILOVE LOVE LOVE this product! Loma Lux is worth the money. I am 25 now and I have great skin!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Bad reaction. My eyelids swelled shut within hours of use. I realize I'm probably one of few who have a severe allergic reaction like this. Also, difficult to stop automatic shipping and get your money back!

For ME it just wasn't worth the time and discomfort to see if it worked or not. Everyone reacts differently, of course. But beware if you have uber-sensitive skin and/or have had that kind of reaction to benzoyl peroxide before. And I didn't like that it was difficult to get my money back. My father actually had to call them to tell them I was allergic to the stuff and only then did they credit me and stop sending the orders.

Pros:

i didnt die from using it

Cons:

continue reading

i used to have light acne. a pimple or two came around every few weeks. when i started using proactiv my life went down the drain. after the first use i woke up the next mornig with blisters around my lips and my left eye swollen shut. i continued to use it, thinking the results may have been from something i ate the night before or maybe allergies. i continued to use it for a few weeks to see if it worked since it seems to be some kind of "miracle product." wrong. the blisters around my mouth got worse and bigger. some popped and my mouth became scabbed and sore. the lotion bleached my eyebrows (which were black before). i have dark hair and HAD dark eyebrows but now i look like a clown. proactiv has ruined my life and it will yours too. dont try it!!!!!!!!
