Pros:

None

Cons:

Price, too many steps, ruins skin

I used Proactiv Solutions for about 5 months...it ruined my skin. I thought it helped the first few times I used it WRONG after about 3 days my face turned bright red, skin was very tight, it felt like it was on fire then my skin started peeling off. I called their customer service and I did exactly what they told me to...it didn't help. It took about 6 months for my face to recover. Please save your face the pain don't try it.

Pros:

It does cler up skin effectively after a while, but does take some time. And it was kind of fun to use. [ I loved the refining mask! ]

Cons:

Takes forever to see improvement.
Dries skin out terribly, sometimes to the point where it gets unbearable.
Redness.

I used Proactiv for a year or so. It worked well for the most part, but dried my skin out so much that it became stiff and crusty. It also became very red from the benzoyl peroxide, but overall it's an okay product.

Pros:

-helps
- step-one cleared up my chest and bacne

Cons:

-takes a long time to apply.
-is quite annoying.

I think this product only works if you have cystic acne. It didn't do anything for my whiteheads and other bumps, but it took away my cysts. This product ONLY works if you follow the step-by-step perfectly. And step two takes awhile to dry so..thats pretty hard to do. It worked pretty well for two months and then it stopped working. Oh, and step-one cleared up my chest and bacne and kept working! Proactiv does make some great products though! My advice would be not to follow the 3-steps, but to make your own regimen using some of their products because I think they're really high quality. I liked the green-tea moisturizer, the sulfur mask, sunscreen, some of their makeup, and such.

MAKES SKIN DRY, BUT DOES NOT CLEAR ACNE.
VERY EXPENSIVE!

Do not buy this product! The customer service was very rude and unhelpful, and the product simply DID NOT work. WASTE OF MONEY!

Pros:

I have nothing good to say about this product or the customer service. Extreme waste of money!

Cons:

The products were extremely harsh. Adding to the acne with drying and irritation. There was no option available for customization of the order/products and not until I cancelled was I given the option of a "gentle line". Two months after cancellation I've now been offered to come back at less than 1/2 the price, with no shipping charges and full customization. Funny that wasn't offered from the beginning.

Do not use unless you are looking to damage your skin at excessive pricing!

Pros:

-Reduces redness
-Aids with acne

Cons:

-Skin remains oily
-Doesnt clear acne completely

Hi x] Used this product for about five years now and although it took away all the redness and aided quite well with my acne I still get occasional break outs quite often. I recommend this for people without severe acne or those who just want to rid the redness of acne. As a long term solution, perhaps not! Sorry.
