PRICE SCAM! I ordered product and was given a total of $29.95 but when the product arrived it was 2 installments of $29.95 for a total of $59.90. Never was that total given until I received the product. I havn't used it and I'm already not pleased. Watch out for the price scam!!!!!

Pros:

Makes your skin pretty smooth, scrubs away scars. I like the face wash with the exfoliating beads. DOES clear up pimples after several days. Pores are less noticeable.

Cons:

Toner makes skin SUPER SUPER SUPER dry! And it does make your skin turn red, so use it at night. Or use it in the morning then cover with good foundation. The Refining mask does not work for me. Just makes my skin smelly.

Avoid toner! If you're buying it, BUY IT AT THE KIOSK (the little carts in the malls). And buy only the face wash and lotion. Toner is NOT necessary according to online beauty sources. Don't buy it online b/c you'll be added to their membership list and they charge you every month. AND WHEN USING proactiv, make sure that after face wash and lotion, USE plenty of moisturizing lotion with SPF at least 15 (the more the better). If you feel your skin feel the slightest dryness, moisturize right away to prevent your skin from peeling! The ingredients are supposed to "suck away oil" so that you'll have less pimples and less blocked pores. I don't know how to prevent the redness though... I'll find out soon. IF YOU still want to keep proactiv, just follow these steps.

Pros:

When it works...it really works! There are times that Pro Activ leaves my skin completely clear and smooth...for a couple of weeks.

Cons:

It doesn't consistently work. Just started using it again about three weeks ago, after taking a couple of months off (because it stopped working). I've seen no change; I've noticed more, larger, pimples.

I've seen Pro Activ work for some and not others. It can't hurt to try it...

Pros:

I'd tried everything before proactiv without results. I didn't believe there would be the quick fix, but for me, proactiv works 100% and I'm delighted. No spots since the second week of using proactiv - over a year now. Worth every cent.

Cons:

I use it religiously twice a day so no cons around it's effectiveness. However, learnt the hard way - don't get it on your clothes (especially cheap material as it will be ruined). Use white towels only.

Without exaggeration, it's been the best find for me in terms of health and beauty. I read all the reviews before I decided to buy it and it might not work for everyone but it's made a huge difference to me. Honestly, my only regret is that I didn't give it a go 14 years ago when I first started getting acne. Why did I put up with it for so long unnecessarily?!

Pros:

It worked in the beginning

Cons:

cost is high

It worked while I was using it. After I stopped my acne was worse than it ever had been. I have acne so bad with out breaks that I never had before. Proactive clearly made my skin worse. It seems to have altered my bodies hormonal balance.

Pros:

It makes my skin clear it vanishes blemishes and it makes my skin all one colour. It also makes it super smooth.

Cons:

Its expensive.

Im 16 and I dont have overly bad acne or acne at that, but I love Proactive. It really does the job, I dont have to worry about waking up with a wopping huge pimple on my face. I barley wear make up when im using proactive because it makes my skin look great! Its expensive but so worth it. Ive heard that it doesnt work on some people and they say its sh*t, get over it seriously. If it doesnt work for you then it doesnt work, skin vary's.

Pros:

- Makes my face feel good
- makes the acne less noticeable
- seems to get rid of acne

Cons:

- Time consuming but most products are
- Runs out quickly

I have been using this for about 2 maybe three weeks. I noticed at first it took away the minor or just starting to appear acne. Then over the past few weeks I've noticed I've started getting less and less. Theres just a few bad ones now. I also recomend using the rare minerals with it as a coverup in the morning. It seems to really help with more problematic zits. My acne is on my chin (gone), little bit on my nose (gone) and a lot of my forehead (nearly gone) I have used Acne Free (generic kind) and the creams my doctor perscribed with no success. They only dried out my skin and irrated it. The proactiv (using it 2 times a day) has kept it pretty moist. I'm pretty happy with it so far but am still a little bit skeptical. I'm hoping it will work like the commercials say :)

Pros:

there are none

Cons:

it makes your acne worse
drys up your skin really bad

Don't waste your time or money with buying this product. It made my skin even worse than it already was. If you have moderate to severe acne i would prefere accutane. It only takes a few months and it is so worth it. my face is completely cleared up now, not after using the proavtive crap. Plus after I started using it my face got really ichy and I found out that I was allergic to something in it and i had to stop as soon as possible. So don't listen to the comercials for proavtive cause its all bull****.
