Pros:

+ Refining Mask
+ Exfoliates Dead Skin
+ Not Complicated to use
+ Smells nice

Cons:

- Currently There are 2 versions of the product (see below)
- Expensive
- Doesn't clear acne fully
- Irritation and Redness
- Poor product for the price you pay

Proactiv is bogus and overrated just like Murad, Dermalogica, and some others that have great advertisements, high prices to convince that "it must be good since the price is high", and a disappointing letdown of purged skin and low confidence. Honestly it's sad when the 2oz tube of refining mask (which really does work wonders like it claims) is the highlight of the show. This 3 step kit talks the talk but can be out beaten by AcneFree or Neutrogena any day of the week, and I suggest you save your cash for that instead.

Pros:

Non.

Cons:

Severly harsh on your skin.
After a couple of weeks of use, my skin was getting more and more cystic pimples.
After I have stopped, my face got plaqued with severe cystic acne all over my skin which I really struggled with. After I stopped using it my acne slowly cleared up.

NEVER USE IT. IT'S SO BAD FOR YOUR SKIN.

NEVER USE IT. THEY MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IT'S THE SAVING GRACE FOR ACNE WITH ALL THOSE CELEBRITIES BUT IT'S ACTUALLY POISON FOR SKIN. I learned this the hard way so please don't go through what I did by purchasing this product.

Cons:

Proactiv is a scam!

Do not order it. They take $30 out of my bank account every month even after I canceled it. I just got off the phone with them again. Ordering Proactive is the biggest mistake I have ever made!

I used this after Neutrogena and Clean and Clear didn't work for me. This wasn't much better. It did seem a little stronger because it made my skin a little redder and dryer but didn't help my acne at all.

Pros:

Clears some acne, but not all
I like the lotion and toner
Didn't dry out my skin

Cons:

Tedious process
Not good at preventing pimples
The cleanser is VERY aggravating especially for inflamed acne
Stupid monthly billing system

It seems like proactiv had the right idea with this system but for some reason it just did not work very well for me. My acne is localized on my cheeks and it may have cleared away my pimples fast, but it did not prevent new ones from forming whatsoever. I gave it 3 months and then got fed up and cancelled the shipments.

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

Made my skin very tight and dry and the skin started to peel. left acne dark spots all over my face. Didn't work at all. They had told me I would get it for three months and then if I wasn't happy they would cancel it. however when I did cancel they said they were going to take another 20 $, I asked if I would get more product but they said no. I was ripped of, lost a lot of money and it didn't even clear up my face

DONT"T BUY PROACTIV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

worked somewhat

Cons:

Impossible to cancel. Finally thought i had it canceled & then was billed again 28 days later. Actual conversation online:
Proactiv: Your shipment went out on 7/6 before you canceled and there are three billings associated with that kit. You have paid 2 and there's one remaining of 29.95.
You: so am i receiving more product?
Proactiv: No you don't
You: so 30 days later, proactive just bills me another $30?
Proactiv: 28 days,but yes this is correct.
Customer service were idio

STAY AWAY!

Pros:

Works for the first week
Controlled my oily skin

Cons:

Smelled really chemicially...
Didn't work after the first week
Severe dryness (which I don't mind if it cleared my acne, but it didn't, so my makeup flaked off)
Pretty expensive
Horrible customer service
Made my acne worse
Made my acne SUPER red
Left scarring

Oh, Lord, please don't get this! I have pale skin, and it made it so red and so dry and just awful! My skin isn't sensitive at all, but this made it painful to the touch. It made my acne worse and... ugh. Just awful. It left scars, and didn't work AT ALL after the first week or so. And when I tried to return it, the people there were so rude! Just don't get it. My skin was horrible. I'm off it now, and my skin is starting to look a little better. I wish I never ordered this. Save your money.

Pros:

Works very well on my skin!

Cons:

Expensive...Dries skin a little bit(depending on skin type)

I think the product works i have used it for a while and my acne is so close to gone! I am amazed with proactiv! I tried a lot of products and they just didnt work! I tried neutrogena, clearasil, clean and clear and nothing worked! I even went to the dermatologist for a prescription and all the topical treatment did was dry out my skin! This works for my skin.. i understand it doesnt work for everyone though.
