Pros:

None

Cons:

Takes to long to apply, makes skin oily, repairing lotion is too small, too long to apply, is a white people product

I freaking hate this product. My dad ordered it for me as soon as I started getting my ance; 8th grade. It worked from 8th to 10th grade. Then after my skin started getting really oily and Proactive stopped working. So, I bought Proactive's 5 step system (which includes daily oil control.) Nope, still no change. This stuff sucks. I hate it. With all of its endorsements, I felt like an outsider when it stopped working for me. Out of all the people that this stuff supposedly works for, it doesn't work for me. Just my luck. I've kicked Proactive to the curb and I'm never going back to it. Never! My sister and I both believe that this product isn't for black people. BTW I'm black.

Pros:

Leaves skin feeling clean

Cons:

It made my skin worse. Be warned guys, this product does not work for a considerable percentage of people that use it. I doubt how genuine the celebrity endorsements are.

As soon as I started using the 4-step system my skin broke out worse than it ever has before. I saw the signs and stopped using it before any more damage was done. Now I am getting microdermabrasion at a medi-spa along with using neutrogena products to repair the damage. I am seeing great results and my skin is almost clear. Going down this road is expensive though but health and well-being is important. Proactiv might work for you but be careful of ending up like many people, worse off than before they used it.

Pros:

None

Cons:

So long to put on.

After proactiv I just did nothing. I just washed my face with cold water before I went to bed. I didn't put anything on my face and it has cleared up great. I eat all the foods I want to eat. Didn't look in the mirror either. Didn't drink that much water. Proactiv just makes your skin irritated. Just accept your face and it will clear up. Just try it for two week and it will work.

Pros:

It clears up your skin... at first

Cons:

Left my skin irritated, red, blotchy, and dry. I have extremely oily skin, and I thought this would work.

It works miracles for some... and is a disaster for most. Don't believe the hype, and it's really expensive and not worth it. Stick to Neutrogena and Biore!

Pros:

first couple of days it worked

Cons:

but after that it started making my skin worse,
breaking out even more. If you have very oily
skin I would not recommened this. It makes it worse.

I know some people that this product has worked for but not for me. It made it worse with more breakouts. I think this product is to harsh and can make people with oily skin even worse. I would not recommened to anyone.

Pros:

It feels clean immediately after use.

Cons:

Doesn't work!! Plus, they kept sending it to me and charging me before I needed a refill. Even after I cancelled they sent another set. Now I have a bunch of worthless, expensive goop in my cabinet.

Don't waste your money. If you want to try it, go to the drug store and get the generic brand. It is the exact same ingredients, and it's a lot cheaper. I regret wasting my money on the "real deal," especially since it didn't work. At all. It really fakes you out because it feels clean right after you use it, but it doesn't heal anything, plus I broke out even worse when I stopped using it. One step forward, two steps back.
