Pros:

None at all

Cons:

This product scared my face where i had pimples and made patches of acne on my skin where i never had problems before. Wherever I had a bad pimple it got rid of the blemish but left a brown mark in its place

This product is a complete SCAM! The acne medication scared my face where I had pimples and actually made my complexion much WORSE! This is an over priced product that gets you to believe that it will work so awesome and so quickly. I kept waiting for my miracle skin to appear and it never happened, instead all I'm left with is brown scars on my face and a horrible product.The medication kept my acne at bay so it would get worse not better. I would have hated to see what my face looked like if I full blown acne before I used it then it would have been even worse! On top of it all they won't refund my money so all I'm left with is a horrible product and scars.

Pros:

For myself the toner and moisturizer is nice though it did nothing for my acne.

Cons:

It seered my roommate's skin off! I kid you not! She used the product for maybe a week and one day she had chemical burns all over her face! (a doctor's visit confirmed this). I stopped using it after seeing what it did to her.

I dont recommend this product to anyone. It didn't work very well and if you have sensitive skin you can apparently wake up to chemical burns. Stay far far away!

Pros:

none

Cons:

Overly irritating, the cleanser tries to exfoliate and also has benzoyl peroxide in it. Adding more benzoyl peroxide topically just irritates the skin even more, the toner is useless and the lotion doesn't even help with the dryness

Awful. I got horrible, cystic pimples while on this product..also, it is so expensive AND breaks out your skin. I gave it a good run even after I started getting the boils on my face from it. NOT WORTH IT!

Cons:

My acne got 5x worse just after using the product for a week.

i started using proactive in the hopes of rocovering my acne. i have had acne for about two years now, and it never gets bettter. when i would watch the commercials about it, it made me feel a ABSOLUTELY needed it... so finally i tried it out. I mean at that point i was thinking "what the heck, what does it matter to me". I mean my acne [in my opinion] was already to its worst point. so then i got the package in the mail. i just couldn't wait to try it out. i did everything it told me, but somehow i ended up with even worse skin. i literally broke down crying, i didn't want anyone to see me like it. i mean people at my school already call me pepperoni face. so i stoppped the treatment, and i even told my mother that i wasn't going back to school, b/c i was so embarrased. but finally she talked mme into going back. [[i still live adepressed life]]

Pros:

NOTHING. This product is simply horrible. Its not worth the money and it's certainly not worth risking your skin.

Cons:

I read a previous post, and someone said all of us who have swelling are allergic to B.P. NOT TRUE!!! Ive never had a reaction to it, but the first night I used the ProActiv, my eyelids and all the surrounding areas around my eyes swelled so much

(continued from above) that I couldnt open my eyes. At first I thought I had retained water (because I read you can swell from water retention) but then I read these posts, and realized it was from the ProActiv. I also experienced burning the first night I used it, and my face felt like I got a horrible sunburn. It wasnt red or blotchy, but I could feel that all the moisture was sucked out and it felt horrible. My eyelids and eyes were so swollen that I had to have my b/f go to Walmart and get an antihistamine to make the swelling go down so I could see. THIS PRODUCT IS HORRIBLE!! Just use the $100 you would spend on this product to go to a professional dermatologist and have them get you something that works.
