Pros:

I notice a difference in about a week after using Pro Activ..

Cons:

Left my skin very dry.

Very, very, very bad product. Pro Activ statrted working but left my skin very dry. I bought the Proactiv from a mall so i received a great deal. I will never waiste my money again on proactiv. The only thing that is good is the refining mask only. i used the refining mask as a spot treatment. I went back to using Aveeno bar soap and Noxema since i received better results.

Pros:

at the beginig seems to work but later s like drog if you try it once you become part of it, they knew well what they were doing when they invented this product their purpose is to keep u addicted because when u stop it all comes back thats the truth

Cons:

I Started to use this product two years ago and every time that I stop using it comes back worse and worse now my skin its so peeled, and irritated, obviosly this is an adictive product and worse part is that you get premature ageing.

THINK TWISE O MORE THAN THAT THIS PRODUCT IS RUINING MY LIFE, AND IT CAN RUIN YOURS AS WELL, IM GOING TO GET HELP FROM A REAL PROFESIONAL DERMATOLOGIST, NOT ANYMORE FROM THIS SCAMERS PROFIT MAKING ORGANIZATION.

Pros:

For about two days, your skin feels incredibly smooth and clean.

Cons:

Then it hits you. You will have MORE breakouts than ever. It BURNS after a couple days, you get the worst acne of your entire life, you get acne all over your face, even where you've never had it before. It stinks and requires 3/4 steps twice a day.

If you are looking to be a grotesque, slimy, pimply monster for halloween, then this might be the product for you. That is the result you will get within 3 days. This was a terrible waste of money because I paid like $30 to burn and pimple my skin. You get terrible, painful, infected pimples like you've never had before. DO NOT try it, even if you are given it for free. It wrecks your skin terribly. I now have to spend weeks trying to get rid of the mess proactiv has made on my face. I stuck it out for about three weeks, doing the treatments twice daily, trying to keep faith, but it eventually hurt so bad I had to give up. DO NOT listen to Jessica Simpson, this easily qualifies as the WORST thing I have ever bought.

Pros:

I don't have any pros for this product! It makes your eyes burn!

Cons:

Bought this over the summer of 09 because my forehead would get really oily and break out due to the humidity and was very dissatisfied. The product smells absolutely horribe! Like eveyone says it burns your skin and turns it red!

Product does not work for me! My skin broke out even more and became irritated. Plus I was billed 3 months later and mailed a second package without my knowledge.

Pros:

The toner is somewhat pleasant

Cons:

The service, charging me for a shipment I did not need / order before I even had the trial for three weeks. It made my skin worse than it has ever been and the dryness is making the new breakouts impossible to heal. WORST COMPANY EVER.

I was better off just using soap and dealing with the monthly breakout. Now I have a huge mess and am out 20 bucks for the trial and the 50 bucks for the kit I wasn't even close to needing. I would love to take this scamming down and never see another stupid infomercial ever again. I used the product for years in high school and it didn't help then, I can't believe I was suckered into giving this sh*tty product another shot.

Cons:

Everything used to make the product.

I've never used it but I do have just a few pimples that usually go away in time and I was recommended it. Read the comments and no. Absolutely not. I am not ordering this and will gladly tell anyone I know not to; it's as if there's a 20/100 percent chance that it'll work for you. Not good enough. Honestly, I would recommend drinking plenty of water and having a balanced diet of eating all 5 food groups a day than using this toxic waste. Besides I've done some research and it states that a change in your daily routine causes an imbalance of hormones which then causes blemishes to appear, and that usually relates to your sleeping habits, so I'd recommend that to anyone first, also. Hm, but that's such a hard decision... what do I do? Inserting crap into my skin or live a healthy, balanced life? I think I'll go with the latter. =P

Pros:

None

Cons:

Dried up my skin and caused me to break out heavily. Got so bad that after about a month and half I had to see my doctor for prescription medication (that I've been on for nearly a year).

Do not buy this product! It is harsh on your skin and can cause terrible breakouts. A year of using prescription medication religiously still has not completely nullified the negative effects that Proactiv had on my skin. If you're looking to throw away money for horrible skin problems, Proactiv is your best bet.

Pros:

nice packaging, worked for a maximun of a week and a half to maybe two weeks

Cons:

after two weeks of my skin clearing up, the product stopped working and i broke out, worse than before. before i used it i had bumps(not white or black heads) and after i had big ugly and painful white heads on my face and it was also very dry.

dont buy it. it may work for a while but if you havent used it before, its not worth the risk. it might ngive you clear skin but on the other hand bigger, harder more inflamed pimples along with cracked, dry and red face. not attractive.
