Pros:

My skin looked softer for the first few days.....

Cons:

My skin is very sensitive to the cold, the harsh chemicals seem to make my pimples bigger! They are getting red and getting more!!

It is making my skin very dry and itchy. I would not recomend this if you have very sensitive skin!! My acne seems to be getting worse the more I use it.

Pros:

none. this product literally did nothing for my skin other than dry it out. i ended up breaking out instead of clearing up.

Cons:

so expensive.

in the end this is a mass marketed product sold by the same company slinging exercise equpiment and blenders. i would not recommend that anyone spend money on this program. it does not work!! do not believe the commercials! what's worse is that when you call to cancel the telemarketer on the other end of the phone tries to tell you that what you are experiencing is normal. as if they have any idea!!

Pros:

NONE!

Cons:

Expensive, after I received the second set it stopped working.

The first time I tried it it worked great! Then when I received my second shipment I used it the same way and I started to get like an itchy little invisible bumps on my face. I couldn't see them but I could feel them, I also got acne in places I never had before. My skin was oily to start and it made it even worse. I received the third shipment and sent it back but I have to pay for shipping, It has been a month since I sent it back and still no refund, so I called proactiv today I was told I had an allergic reaction to the product, and was told it takes 6-8 weeks for me to get my refund. Oh, and they tried to sell me the "gentle" formula! DON'T USE IT!!!

Pros:

-the refining mask
-the toner
-works for a few months

Cons:

-expensive
-runs out easily
-doesnt work for long periods of time

So I got proactiv when i was about 13 and it worked for a few months. Then my face started to get really red and oily. I went to the dermatologist and they basically told me that Proactiv is for the Hollywood stars that need a quick fix until they can get an appointment with their dermatologist. DO NOT waste your money on Proactiv unless you just had a minor break out and you have a dance or a trip to go to. It is not going to fix your acne or calm it down in the long run. trust me. been there, done that.

Pros:

It makes your pores look smaller.

Cons:

It dries out oily skin and burns when applying the toner. The dryness makes skin itchy.

Im going to stop using it and try something else. Dislike.

Proactive made my skin dry out and peel.

Be careful ordering online, apparently if you order any products online you are automatically signed up for the proactive "club" and they will continue to bill you and ship products to you monthly.

Pros:

It worked for MAYBE a week.

Cons:

It didn't help my skin at all. It has only made my breakouts larger and worse! It says 2 weeks and it will begin working, wekk it has been 3 months now of consistently using and still nothing.

I had a horrible time ordering, I feel as if they con you and rip you off. It is FARRRR from being worth the cost! I hated the Product and has the worst customor service ever.Very very disappointed and would never reccomend it to anyone!!!
