Pros:

None. It didn't work for me

Cons:

Expensive. Ineffective.

Baking soda works better for me as a topical treatment. The only thing that controls my acne is a strict diet. I cannot have ANY sugar, not even canned, packaged or processed foods that have corn syrup in the ingredient list. No honey, sucrose, fructose. Limit sweet fruits and raisins, sweet potatoes, potatoes. No white flour, white rice, white pasta flour tortillas corn starch. No milk I have to follow the Low Glycemic Diabetic Diet I can have, lots of veggies, fish, lean meat, poultry, beans, salads, whole grain breads n tortillas n pastas, nuts, corn tortillas Check out Larry Theile's website by just googling his name.

Pros:

refining mask does reduce redness, but takes a few nights to completely get rid of the pimple

Cons:

way too expensive and made my skin worse (gave me large, red and very painful cystic acne, which i never experienced before using the product)

its an expensive, endorsed (cough jessica simpson cough) product that costs WAY to much money and gave me a very sore face.

Pros:

WELL IT SMELLS ALRIGHT. AFTER THE FIRST STEP YOUR FACE FEELS REALLY FRESH N CLEAN.

Cons:

YOU HAVE TO USE A LOT OF MOISTURIZER BECAUSE PROACTIVE DRIES OUT YOUR SKIN. PLUS REDNESS OCCURS, WHICH REALLY SUCKS.

THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE. MY FACE RIGHT NOW IS AT ITS WORST, THANKS TO PROACTIVE. FOR SOME PEOPLE IT WORKS BUT IT IS NOT A PRODUCT FOR ME. I HAD CLEAR SKIN WITH MINOR BLEMISHES. NOW I HAVE TO WEAR MAKE UP TO COVER UP THE UGLY PIMPLES. I USE TO ONLY WEAR POWDER, NOW I HAVE TO APPLY FOUNDATION TOO!

Pros:

The celebrities and stories on the website

Cons:

It makes your skin really dry around the edges, and makes you go red!

I just can't even begin. I got this it cost me £45 (About $80ish)! I started using it, and I really thought that it would work. I've tried so many things and honestly it was the celebs that convinced me to buy it. Well don't even belive any of it. It's CRAP!!! i'm SO gutted! :( My skin looks really bad now and I have far more blemishes than I did before, I'm just so upset right now I can't even tell you. Please don't waste your money on this :(

Pros:

it seems like a great product on tv & makes your skin really smooth when first use.

Cons:

it dried out skin, bleached some of bath towels, too much money & you must use everyday

This is a product that you MUST use everyday or its not going to work meaning you have to keep buying it after you use it all. The first 2 weeks i used it, it work but after missing two days of using it i broke out worse than what my face was before using it. It dried my skin out so bad it started faking and it bleached some bath towels. It's way too much for a product that doesnt work as you think. After it bleached my towels and made my skin worse i started using a walmart brand cleanser which i should have use before buying proactiv. A cleanser thats $5.99 has helped me better. This product sucks, its not worth the money!

Pros:

the only good thing that helped me in the least was the repairing lotion.

Cons:

smelled horrible, cost too friggin much, bottles were too small, customer service sucked, made me break out worse, the hidden club membership pissed my mom off, overall this was the worst mistake of my life.

if you have a little bit of acne, DO NOT buy proactiv. i had very very light acne. maybe 4 or 5 bumps on my cheeks. i asked my mom to buy me this stuff that i thought would be a miricle, and it turns out, a week later i started seeing little bumps form all over my cheeks. now my skin is in the worst condition it has EVER been in. DO NOT get sucked into their stupid commercial like i did. stick with OTC products from walmart or a drug store or w/e. now im trying to get back to the condition i was in before proactiv. im probly gonna try benzaclin. NOT RECCOMENDED BY ME.
