Pros:

Works well if you stick to the 2 times a day usage

Cons:

It takes like 3 weeks to see how well it works.

If you use this product consistently twice a day it will work wonders. I like proactive!

Pros:

IOriginally purchased for my son. His acne was getting out of control. It was all over his upper back and shoulders and his face. We had tried all of the Dept. store remedies. When the product arrived, we both began using it. Improved skin in 2 wks.

Cons:

We both experienced a bit of dryness at first, but we learned how to adjust the treatment so it worked best for us. After a year, we ran out and then moved, forgot to reorder. Son's acne came back and my face seems to be extremely oily now.

We only stopped using it because I failed to reorder. I do plan on continue using it. My skin issues weren't as severe as my son's, but my overall complexion is smoother, brighter, healthier looking. I love the way it feels. I started using it daily and I was faithful, then after 6 months or so, I started slacking to around 2-3 times a week, and still maintained the results I wanted. My son still battles with occasional outbreaks, but during his regular use, it was kept to minimal bumps and blackheads around his chin and cheeks. For his back, we have doctor prescribed cream since I can't afford any more of the Proactiv than we already use.

Pros:

It's easy to use and makes your skin feel clean afterwords.

Cons:

Sometimes it will seem like it works but then I just end getting yet another huge breakout. Drys out my skin and sometimes causes redness.

Doesn't really work. I am only using it until I find a better regime that doesn't cost a lot and is not harmful.

Pros:

The three step system really does keep breakouts under control. The overall look of my skin has improved, breakouts happen less often than prior to using the Proactiv three step system.

Cons:

I expected to have absolutely no pimples on my face but that never happened. I have at least one or two zits on my face at all times. Not that big of a deal compared to how my acne was before.

Proactiv is a really good product. Of course there is always room for improvement but in my opinion, this is as good as it gets in the acne fighting game.

Pros:

I have used this product for three years and it works great. Before starting the product, I read all of the directions and followed them explicity. Dryness occurs only if you use too much and/or too often. It has been a success for my cystic acne.

Cons:

None

I recommend to follow the directions sent with the product and see what happens. I started using only one of the products at a time for one week before adding the second product and only did so for once a day until my skin adjusted to the system. If you just jump right in and begin using all the products at once you will have adverse reactions. I know because that is what I did the first time I used proactiv years ago. I also recommend that you use an oil free moisturizer. I apply the moisturizer BEFORE I put on the refining lotion. When applying the products, only use a few dots. A little goes a long way.

Pros:

Refining Mask Is Nice And Gentle

Cons:

The Worst Product Ever.

The Worst Product Ever. Thanks to this product it made my skin worse. It made it Extra Dry, and Extra Red. As well as made me have bigger pores that I did not already have. It was very uncomfortable to be like this all day. The only nice thing was the refining mask. As that was gentle. I now have to be on Actutane because it had made my acne worse. Then I wanted to return pro active. They charged me $29.00 for a shipping and handling fee. When they say in their ads' A 60 day Money Back Guarantee Free Shipping And Handling'. I definitely do not recommend this product. I recommend you go to your doctor, and get a referral to a dermatologist. As they are the only solution to solve all of your Acne problems. Don't waste your money on this crap. Its false advertisement. Sorry to be so negative but its true. Don't listen to their commercials. As they are all actors paid to say that proactive helps your acne. Think about it. I hope this helps. Good luck

Pros:

Works good especially in the beginning

Cons:

having to pay for 3 steps when I only want one.

I started purchasing on ebay, much better prices and I can get what I want, plus I give someone a little business besides the big department stores.

Pros:

cleared my whiteheads and little bumps on my cheeks

Cons:

I still broke out, dries out my skin, doesn't do much for my nose.

I have light asian skin- olive toned- I have combination skin, sometimes very dry skin, and I would say that this product is okay. The toner worked for a while, then after a few weeks it lost its effect. The BP cream is good, but again it looses it's effect. The scrub is good, but again looses it's effect.
