Pros:

I really like this product. I have mild acne with occasional breakouts. With this product I have had fewer breakouts and they clear up much faster. Also, I have serious blackheads around my nose are almost completely gone.

Cons:

This product is slightly expensive and it does take time for it to work. You don't see instant results. I didn't at least. It took about a week to notice a difference in my complexion.

If you can afford the product and have the patience to give it time to work, it is definitely a great product. I would recommend it to anyone. It has worked great for me.

Pros:

It works. If you you use it right n are consistent with it, it WILL work! it leaves your skin feeling really good n clean

Cons:

you have to use it EVERYDAY n don't get lazy and it's price, but well it is a good product. Oh and it can be tempting to skip it once you see results or are too tired.

It works very well, it makes your skin look and feel clean, it doesn't leave it dry or flacky, it leaves (or keeps in my case)your skin soft and smooth. The mask works very well just don't let it get old. Also, I would like to add that if you drink plenty of water every day, your skin will be beautiful and hydrated. Perhaps try starting with a goal like drinking one bottle of water a day. That's waht I did and it works very well for me. May God bless you and I hope you find a solution to your acne problems.

Pros:

Nothing Good and nothing special about it.

Cons:

Expensive for the price that you paid. The Proactiv solution is just another brand selling BP. The ingredients they used is fairly common and nothing special. You can still get the same level of results using other less expensive brands of BP.

Best selling acne products doesn't mean that it provide significant relief for acne for most people. For example, the direct response websites, [link removed] selling an ebook on acne free in 3 days is also a best selling product but judging from the testimonials on this website, its definitely not worth buying. I mean the author is just an Internet Marketing expert using some rehashed information he found on the web. The celebrity, Serena Williams, as you can see from TV, when she's playing tennis, her face doesn't have acne. Even if she just used water to wash her face, this has nothing to do with Proactiv. I mean, we all have friends who have flawless complexions, they don't have acne even if they just used plain water to wash their faces.

Pros:

It keeps my skin under control - after it started going crazy at age 21

Cons:

Every now and then I get a brekout, but nothing like I was before! It also can make your skin feel extremely dry and tight if you dont put the moisture back in.

The first time I used this product I had a red face and it was itchy. But after it got used to the peroxide it was fine. This product is for people with serious acne, not a little bit here and there. The moisturiser is absolutely useless, but you need to use ALL of the other products one after the other. If you skip a product, it wont work. If you skip an application, you get the breakout straight away. I actually use Shiseido Moisturiser and Toner after the Repairing Lotion. This works. Now I have great skin. IF YOU DONT HAVE BAD ACNE TO BEGIN WITH DONT USE THIS PRODUCT, ITS NOT WORTH THE HASSLE

Pros:

it works great with the refining mask!

Cons:

It dries your skin at first and they dont tell you how important the refining mask is.

You need to know that any acne product will dry your skin initially it is expected. I tried moisturizers and found one that worked for me that I would apply after proactiv. Its all trial and error. My face cleared up somewhat at first, then every three days i would apply their refining mask and within like two weeks my face was clear. I think thats why they call it combination therapy which includes the sulfur mask, also i noticed murad also uses a sulfur mask. the sulfur mask which i found in combination with the three steps and the moisturizer that fits YOUR skin really worked. my skin was completely clear, we need patience and dont touch your face!!!!

Pros:

Clears up skin within a couple weeks. Works very well with continued use as a routine.

Cons:

Reddens face! Always need sunscreen if outside for long peroids of time while using.

I used proactive for about two years after being frustrated with my skin being very clear for a while then very breaken-out. In the beginning, it worked very well. I got many compliments. Then after a couple months I started breaking out badly then clearing up like before. My skin was also getting red and very very sensetive! I tried to stop using proactive and the week I did, my break outs became worse than before! Way worse! Now my skin can't handle simple over the counter products and going back to proactive is hard because its too harsh for my skin. IF YOU WANT TO USE PROACTIVE, MAKE SURE YOU ARE OK WITH CONTINUIG TO USE IT FOR HOWEVER LONG. I ONLY recommend using it if you have meduim to severe acne.
