Pros:

-Clears about 80% of acne
-Doesn't hurt my skin at all (i don't have that sensitive of skin)
-Smells okay

Cons:

-Didn't work for me as good as they say it does
-Dries out my cheeks a bit
-A bit pricey

It doesn't clear every pimple, but it's definitely the best acne treatment I've tried. I used it for like 6 months, then switched to Neutrogena Complete Acne System for a bit because it was cheaper and i read good reviews on it. Within a few weeks my breakouts were worse then they had ever been. I switched back to Proactiv and my skin went back to normal in a few weeks. Definitely a good product! :)

Pros:

None At ALL

Cons:

Caused worse achne than I ever had in my entire life. Caused like 5 months plus of pain and embarrassment.

I would never buy any product from these guys again. I used the original version back in the day but this Sh!t just caused massive zits within like two days of use. Like so big you have to pop them and then you get more after doing that. Then once you get rid of those another set comes in. It was a never ending cycle. I did everything right and even waiting 6 weeks to quit the product. Pure garbage, it also left these damn red marks that don't go away and I never get achne scars. Oh and 19.99 my ass.

Pros:

Well It actually did work for me for about 6 to 8 months...

As long as I was using it every day, and also taking the pills too.

Straight forward system.

Easy to use and apply

Started to see results after the 2 month mark

The ability to customize your order to suit your skin needs.

Cons:

After the 6 to 8 month mark I started to get really bad breakouts, and really bad dark circles on the sides of my lips and chin area

Well it worked good for about 6 months or so. But I think my skin just go use to it. After that my skin got worse and worse, so had to stop.

Pros:

I was able to purchase this product at an 'As Seen On TV' Store, therefore was able to try the product without joining the autoship program.

I found that the program reduced the size of my pimples, although did not clear up my acne entirely. The refining mask is probably my favourite product in the kit, since it is pretty effective at reducing the size and inflammation of the annoying 'look at me' size pimples.

Cons:

Besides clearing up only half of the problem, this product made my face feel like it was on fire! Also as a second note, be very cautious to read the ingredient labels of any products you're combining with ProActiv. A moisturizer with retinol for example may be way too much if your skin is sensitive. Keep this product out of the eye area, especially if you're skin tends to wrinkle since it's so drying.

I had to stop using this because it was so harsh. If you have hormonal acne on your chin, you may be able to get away with just using it in that area. Overall value is mediocre.

Pros:

dried skin out

Cons:

did not improve my skin

I have a mild oily t-zone and that is where I was breaking out. ProActive did not help my skin if anything it made it break out worse. I tried the product for about 50 days and then I took it back. The customer service was actually helpful and I should be receiving my check back in the mail soon.

Pros:

It works.
Easy, simple to use.

Cons:

You have to use it every morning and everyday for it to work. May dry out skin at first.

It you use it everyday consistently, it will work. It was a life saver.

Pros:

Cleared up SOME acne

Cons:

Dried out skin
Made skin peel
Burned
Still have acne!

When I bought proactive I heard so much about it that i was sure it was going to work. When I got it in the mail I was so excited to start using it. In the first few days i noticed that some of my acne was starting to disapper. Within about a week my skin started burning and peeling and my acne was starting to come back. After about two or three months I stopped using it and now i'm using epiduo gel which I LOVE! I would reccommend this to other people only because I have heard about so many people using it with wonderful results and maybe it was just my skin type that it didn't work for.
