Pros:

I had the worst acne & as soon as I started using proactiv it cleared up my face SO much! Works amazing & clears up acne really fast.

Cons:

Quite expensive & doesn't smell all that great. Doesn't get rid of certain redness on my face & if I miss one night not using it I'll break out the next day. Also leaves skin a bit dry if you use step 3 everysingle day/night.

I've been using this product for over a year & when I started using it I had the worst acne. It looked like I smeared grease all over my face each day 'cause my face was always that broken out. As soon as I started using proactiv within 2 days I started seein' results & was really happy about it. I will keep using this product until my acne is 100% gone.

Pros:

The Proactive system cleared up my acne, in about 2 weeks of using it, and since using it my face is baby soft.

Cons:

The price is really the only con, and I'm nervous that if I stop using the system my acne will come back.

Basically, it's a great system. I went from having perfect skin, moved to a new location in Florida and my face broke out horribly, i tried other acne solutions but none worked so my dad got me Proactive and it really is a life savor! My acne has not returned even during a menstrual cycle, it did the first month, but not the second!!! I also don't use the products religiously, once a day I use the blue liquid, the repairing lotion, and the green tea moisturizer, i seldom use the cleanser. The 30 day supply has lasted about 2 months and I just ordered my second supply of it. Good luck!

Pros:

Works great, clears pimples well, and reduces redness to make pimple MUCH less noticeable.

Cons:

If you don't use it regularly, the acne will come back completely.

I think that the Proactiv 3 step process is a great product and really helped get rid of my acne. I may have one or two very small unnoticeable pimples left, but I'm willing to compromise with that, and it didn't leave me with dry skin at all. Overall this is a great product that I strongly recommend.

Pros:

It really works but it takes some time for it to actually see a benefit (about 2 - 3 weeks).

Cons:

You need to use other cleansing product to get make up off of your face. Proactive cleanser will not take off your make up as well as they advertise.

If you have mild to moderate acne, then this may be a right product for you. I don't think it works as well as prescription acne product but it does it's job. I don't recommend using this product for long term basis. I think your skin gets irritable after awhile. I say rule of thumb for this product is maximum of 6 months duration.

Pros:

works well with my other acne products. the price is right. The sulfur mask is great!

Cons:

If you are allergic to benzoyl Peroxide-- U SHOULD NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!! IT WILL ONLY MAKE A BAD SITUATION WORSE!!!!

I've been using it for years. I talked a friend into using it and her skin looked terrible. It turns out she is allergic to benzoyl peroxide----and didn't know it. As for me, it has worked far better than any other product (prescribed or otherwise)

Pros:

it does work it cleared up acne within days and it made my skin glow

Cons:

price and customer service

the customer service is horrible when the girl asked me did i want to upgrade my order to 3 months she didn't tell me that the price would increase so that pissed me off when i called to cancel my automatic shipping and they didn't even tell me what days it would be drafted out of my account so i just canceled the account and i called CS and they did not help me out at all really and told me i would have to pay the remaining balance when i had no knowledge of the price increase so for now on i will just travel to a kiosk to get my product because it is a great product and it has been much success for me

Pros:

works at clearing acne.
the green tea moisturizer is awesome if proactive dries your skin.

Cons:

can't buy in stores.
not cheap.

When you order online they tell you that they send you a 30-day supply and 30 days later they will send you a 90-day supply. and so on every 90 days after that. If you order it without knowing this, I am sorry, but you are an idiot who can't read. Or maybe you just didn't take the time to read it. And maybe if you are ordering things online in the future you should read everything before you consent. Also, you can cancel at any time, which includes after you get your first shipment, so you never have to receive a 2nd shipment or have your card charged again.

Pros:

-clears acne
-matte(ish) skin

Cons:

- dries skin
- bleaches anything
- expensive

This actually works for me! It makes my somewhat oily skin more matte than before. It did take awhile to work, about two monthes, but I haven't gotten a pimple since. It does dry your skin, so be careful about how much repairing lotion you use. Overall good!
