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.

Pros:

Cleared my acne better than anything else I've tried.

Cons:

Dried out my face a little at first. During the "dry times" I cut back to washing once a day and used the green tea moisturizer twice a day and it helped greatly. It does take a little time using it for your skin to get used to washing twice a day with it.

I do have light to moderate acne. Nothing to have to see a dermatologist about, HOWEVER, no other over the counter products have worked for me. Even light acne is really embarrassing to have to live with so don't think I have it easy just because I don't see a dermatologist about it. I've tried it all, washes, cleansers, creams, pads, scrubs, I've even tried not doing anything at all. Nothing worked! I began to see results in about two weeks from beginning to use Proactive and contrary to what I'm seeing posted here, my acne only came back if I stopped washing for extended periods of time. Well worth the $20 a month!

Pros:

-Works amazingly well- completely cleared my skin, which NOTHING else ever has.

-If you do have a breakout, using their other products can help clear it up super quick. I had never had much luck with other stuff.

-You can choose to have it split into 3 payments, which makes it easier to afford since the big bottles cost about $20 each.

-No more acne! No painful, ugly, gross breakouts.

Cons:

-You absolutely have to wear SPF over the treated areas, every single time you go outside during the day. I had to get into the habit, and now if I forget to wear it I find I will breakout the next day.

-Pretty pricey, although for me it is worth it to have my self-confidence.

-The regimen takes a little bit of time, and you have to do it twice a day to see the best results.

-You will become dependent on always having it with you when you travel or even go overnight somewhe

You HAVE to follow the "Doctor's advice" - use it as labeled, and absolutely follow with a sunscreen-containing moisturizer. If I don't use sunscreen it is bad news the next few days. When you're using this product, as the included pamphlets will tell you if you bother to flip through them, your skin will be more susceptible to sun's radiation. You will get bumps, redness, etc if you don't use sunscreen. After reading a lot of these reviews I think that is where a lot of people go wrong. I also only use it on the parts of my face where I breakout, for me it's my chin and around my mouth and nose. If I get it on my cheeks it burns, so I just don't put it on there. (Even though they say use it on your whole face.) I absolutely swear by Proactiv, and they don't pay me to say so. :) I pay them in fact, happily. I have more confidence and feel good about the way I look as a direct result of this product. Definitely worth the money to at least try it, just make sure to read the included literature and really devote yourself. The payoff is so worth it!

Pros:

Clears up existing blemishes
Seems to be keeping my skin clear
Kiosk Machine in mall keeps me away from bad customer service & automatic billing

Cons:

Blemishes will come back & acne worsen when discontinue
Products become less effective after a month because bottle top poorly made & will not close properly. So 90 day supply really only good for 1 1/2 months.

I recommend it for people with mild acne which is what I have. Seems to be too irritating & not worth the time and money for people with severe acne/really sensitive skin.

Pros:

Great product worked very well for me

Cons:

Great result in juz 5 days. But dont mess up with the steps and use twice a day.

If this product is not curing ur acne then u should consult a doctor. All ordinary kinds of acne is cleared with this product. But not a solution for hormonal imbalance....thanks

Pros:

It works, lives up to promise

Good product, at a good price. When it comes to your face you are going to pay for what you get. It is less than a dollar a day for skin care.

Pros:

you can feel a diff with frist use.
even out skin tone

Cons:

burns within the frist few weeks (toner)

IT WORKS. I have been suffering with acne for about six years. I'm 20 now, I have tried everything. This was the last thing I used for my face and of course the last thing works..lol. I tell everyone about it and how it changed my life. I went thoguh so much with my skin. If you want clean skin USE IT. That's the bottom line.

Pros:

works really well, makes my skin smooth and glowing

Cons:

NONE

I have had acne for over 15 years and I have used proactiv for the last couple of years. I do not have any unwanted side effects from using it long term. When I first started using the products, my skin was really dried out. I was only using the 3 step system and not a moisturizer. When I started using a moisturizer (applying it last) in addition to the 3 step process, my skin has been almost flawless. Rarely do I have a pimple. NO product is going to make you stop having pimples forever. However, Proactiv can greatly improve the quality of your skin. If you have sensitive skin, they have the 3 step system for sensitive skin also.

Pros:

Proactiv works! Clearer skin in 2 days it is worth every penny.

Cons:

initially it dries the skin, but given time and regular use your skin ajusts.

Proactiv might not be for everyone but if you suffer from acne and have tried just about everything else it couldn't hurt to give it a try. I am very pleased with this product and I am looking forward to using the proactiv cosmetic line as well.
