Pros:

gives skin a glow
pimples much smaller
skin is softer

Cons:

Causes eye sensitivity (area around the eyes got very dry and woke up with puffy eyes for the first week)
expensive
Not enough lotion

Takes a while to work. I hate to break it to ya, but there is no miracle cure that's gunna make your acne go away after 1-3 days. You have to give it time. This product irritated my skin for the first week and then I started getting used to it. Those in which this product haven't worked for, probably aren't doing something right. First of all, try to avoid foundation in general. Even non-comedogenic. I know it's humiliating for everyone to see your acne but give it a few weeks and you'll clear up. Second, use a natural shampoo and condtioner. Oily ones with silicones and what not will make you break out. Thirdly, try and eat right and exercise. No need to be anal about it but just try and improve your diet and exercise.

Pros:

None - Ordered for my daughter who was allergic to the product

Cons:

I called and told them I would not continue to use the product and they continue to force ship the product charging my credit card for the shipment. I am told I will not be shipped future orders and to return at my expense and I will be refunded which I never see.

Do not pay with a credit card in the event you do not want to be force shipped product. I am on the third shipment and with every phone call and complaint I continue to be billed for product which is not even being delivered to my current addres..

Pros:

None

Cons:

Where do I begin? It never worked. Ever. And the company is dishonest.

The company is unethical. I canceled over a month ago and even checked my bank account to make sure I was canceling before they charged me again and shipped another box. Guess what - they still shipped a package. I mailed it back and am still waiting for a refund. AND to top it off...just checked my bank account and they charged me again this month and I am sure I'll have another shipment waiting for me at my house one day soon. Awful company - worst customer service experience I have EVER had. PLUS, when I initially signed up they had a special...only 29.95/month. And yet I never paid that price. I always paid $65 a month (hoping and praying my acne would clear) because they were sending me two free gifts. How does that work? I thought FREE meant "no extra charge." Sigh...

Pros:

Cleared up my skin
Refined my skin
Love the mask

Cons:

A little pricey

I have been using this for going on two months. Had pretty significant acne..especially on my jaw line. Nothing was working and then I got this. I know some say it didn't work for them or made their acne worse but for me personally it was perfect. I love the mask. I use it maybe once a week. I had HUGE pores before. It makes my skin look smooth, healthier, clearer. I just don't think I will ever try anything else. I am 38 with moderate stress and terrible eating habits. That said, it was like a wonder drug for me.

Pros:

Smells alright.

Cons:

Didnt work on acne.
Left me feeling helpless.
Made acne worse than before i started using proactiv.

This product makes me steaming mad. Every time i used this product my skin felt incredibly greasy then dried out later. The Proactiv commercials are so fake, i bunch of paid actors and actresses with photoshopped pictures, think about it, if you have severe acne you probably wont be clearing up without a trace of scars left. When I ordered proactiv, i was so excited. When I got the product and started using it, it made my skin horrible. The automatic billing charged 40 bucks a shipment for product that wasnt even arriving to my house. With all the excess product laying around, i have tried it several times with that same result. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. GO NATURAL. Your skin will never clear up when your slathering harsh chemicals on it.

Pros:

has everything you need with the 3 steps, scrub, toner and treatment.

Cons:

expensive, doesn't work

i have tried proactiv for 3 years, and it helped a LITTLE bit. I stopped and went to my dermatologist and he said to NOT keep using it. He also said that it is the same medication you could buy with over-the-counter products. Ever since he prescribed me new products and told me to cut it out, my acne has gotten so much better. The only thing I still use from it is the Oil-Free Moisturizer. Thats the best thing of the system. I would say to save your money and spend it on a dermatologist appointment!

This is definitely not a product for teens. I used these products for 3 years and my acne never went away. They kept saying you just need to keep trying with it... But it just didn't work. Don't waste your money!
