Pros:

Pimples dry up a lot faster.

Cons:

Bleaches your bedsheets, if you have dark colored sheets, it will turn yellow in a few days. Face looks greasy all day when you put it on. Smells like crap, and don't let anyone kiss you on the cheek.

I guess it works for some people, but not me.

Pros:

Gets rid of most acne

Cons:

expensive, really harsh, dries skin out

i've been using proactiv for awhile now, and it cleared up all the little bumps on my forehead which no other cleanser could do. my skin isn't sensitive, but i started to peel the first few weeks i used this and because this is a scrub, it is more harsh. i still get occasional breakouts, maybe once or twice a month. it's pretty good, but definately not as good as the infomercial says (of course)

Pros:

Results are noticed immedietley within a few days.

Cons:

You have to use it atleast twice a day for anyone who really has bad acne.

The first few months of using Proactive you really do notice a big difference. After about 4 months into using the product regularly it doesn't seem to work anymore. Acne seems to apear again, possibly not as bad as before, but it just doesn't seem to do anything anymore.

Pros:

Absolutely NONE.

Cons:

DOES NOT WORK, DOES NOT WORK!! Makes skin WAY worse!! Enough said.

Buying Proactiv is the biggest mistake I've made in my life, period. It made my skin even more sensitive, broke out in places I've NEVER broken out before, made my skin extremely red and irritated everyday. Bottom line; don't trust those highly-paid actresses on TV ads. They do not use Proactiv.

Pros:

worked really well for 8 years

Cons:

stopped working after 8 years & my skin became ridiculously worse afterwards. Even before i tried proactiv my skin was moderately acne prone Now its so bad I'm on accutane.

It's just a matter of time till this product will stop working and make your skin worse. This is a temporary fix that isn't worth the end result

Pros:

If it's used consistently, it is very effective. Proactiv got rid of my whiteheads and blackheads very well, when nothing else really does that.

Cons:

It's a bit expensive and the lotion runs out much too fast.

It's worth a try if you've tried everything with no results.

Cons:

Results and Price

When I started using Proactive I had combination skin and occasionally expierienced a pimple or two. Proactive made my skin feel extremely greasy. I started developing deep, painful acne on my cheeks; an area of my face where I had never experienced acne before. I am extremely disatisfied with the products and when I called to cancel shipment of the product, the customer service representative was very rude. Please don't waste your money on this product!

Pros:

good advertising of product - that's all!

Cons:

Makes face to dry and red, if you appied it on the neck- even worse, peels like crazy!

Did not help me neither two of my friends. Try to cancel membership, you'll be on the phone for an hour asked several times by different people if you're sure. They even assume, you did not follow directions on those bottles, tell you information over again. I see here are some good reviews, maybe it helps to SOME people, don't know!
