Pros:

Clearer skin, prevents breakouts & oily skin, makes skin feel a lot better, smells really nice.

Cons:

Makes skin feel dry (sometimes) causes redness & sometimes stings a little.

I paid £40 not $. As soon as I used this product I saw improvement straight away. I had mild acne, not too bad and the first time I used it I saw a difference within the first hour. My skin looked so much more cleaner and healthier, pretty much all my blackheads were gone after the first wash. It does make your skin a little red and stings a bit, but that just shows that it has been cleaned properly. Some people have different kinds of skin so it won't work on everyone, just like every other product, that's just a risk you have to take. But I really would recommend it to anyone who has mild acne. I wouldn't recommend it to someone with really bad skin cause the exfoliating beads in the cleanser might make the acne even worse and irritate it, I'd see a doctor. But it really is an amazing product and made my skin so much clearer, I love it! Really helps :)

Pros:

I like the toner and repair on their own. The toner acts well to moisturise

Cons:

I used this product for 8 weeks and during this period I had the worst acne of my life. I just though it was getting all the stuff out from deep in my pores and they say it takes 6 weeks. I current haven't used it in around three months and have no pimples but it has left me with minor scars. Plus the customer service was one of the worst I have ever dealt with.

I am a male in my early 20s and if your the same skin type as me, I recommend avoiding it. However it's not a bad idea to attempt it because it must work for some people otherwise it would not be so popular. I worked out that it comes to $1 per day. Now I just use Brevoxyl, which cost $15 every three months and has left me without pimples and I can't be happier

Pros:

umm...? Not many

Cons:

Made my acne progressively worse
Ultimately gave me cystic acne
Made me even oiler than I already was. People could almost see their reflections in my forehead. No sarcasm intended.

Proactiv is waaaaay to harsh for sensitive skin. Not only would I not recommend Proactiv for sensitive skin, I also would not reccommend it for skin of color either.

Pros:

the man made beads in the cleanser where super good! they gently exfoliated my skin leaving it feeling refreshed and clean. I saw results witin the first couple of weeks and with continuous use it is clearing up scarring as well as preventing any major breakouts.

Cons:

in the first week of use my skin began to show signs of dryness, but Proactiv do recommend using a moisteriser after step 3, which does help prevent this.
another con to this product is the frequency in how late the shipments could be, in some cases my shipment would come 1-2 weeks after it was due which was a little inconvienient.

after trying to use different cleansers, lotions, toners, face masks etc. none have been as half as effective as proactiv have been! I wouldn't suggest people with severe acne affected skin to use this product as the exfoliator beads may irritate any blemishes. but for my skin which was prone to blackeads and whiteheads, as well as the common breakouts and scarring due to picking and scratching, this 3 step system works wonders. Keep in consideration that clear skin doesnt automatically come with a new skin regimen, eating healthier and drinking healthie does also play a massive part in creating a beautiful complexion. I don't see why you dont give it a go, and with their money back guarentee you really can't go wrong.

Cons:

- Makes acne MUCH worse than before
- Dries out skin
- Toner stings like crazy
- Makes skin BRIGHT red
- Getting a refund is impossible
- They charge you monthly without you knowing

My mom bought me this when I was fourteen and I used it for about a month. It caused me to break out HORRIBLY and it made my skin bright red! It was also painful to smile or to touch my face. Also, BEWARE that this company will charge you a fee every month after you get the trial version. It takes FOREVER to get your money back and customer service is AWFUL.

Pros:

I like the smell of the product

Cons:

The cons of this product is that it did not work at all for me. As a matter of fact my acne became worse. I know you should wait 3 months when using a product to see improvement. I waited 10 months and things just got worse and worse. I used the product EXACTLY as they told me to. Also they include free skin clearing vitamins. Not free at all come month 2 I was auto enrolled in the vitamin program and they debited my bank account $60 every month for those vitamins and it was a pain to cancel.

I would never order from this company ever again. Not only was the product a joke so was their customer service. I am not a ATM and that is the way they treated me. Also when I was finally able to cancel my account, I was told Proactiv is used to keep CLEAR SKIN CLEAR NOT TO CLEAR CURRENT ACNE!!!! Where is that statement on T.V. and Website?
