Pros:

I have used Proactiv for the last 2 years. Ever since i have been using it i have not had one pimple or breakout. this stuff is awesome. recently, i tried universiy medicals acnefree stuff the says their stuff is as good as proactiv. NO WAY

Proactiv is the best. acnefree does not work, leaves skin dry and irritated.

Pros:

it really works... but it was hard to figure out how to use it to get the results i wanted

Cons:

i had to buy additional pro activ products other than the three step system to get the results that i wanted. also, i also noticed after awhile of using the product my skin got worse, which is when i realized i needed a moisturizer

it works but only when u use it the right way for ur skin type. dont follow the instructions exactly. change it up to fit ur skins needs.

I have used Proactive for several years and have nothing but success. I started using it in my 50's because I had occasional breakouts and needed something consistent. It has worked well for me!

Pros:

Clears my face quickly
I can customize my order as needed
Less expensive than others I've used

Cons:

It will stain certain fabrics

As I got older, I noticed that I still had occasional breakouts each month. Nothing I tried seemed to work. I decided to give this a try. So far, I have no complaints. I do not live close to where I can go in and buy, so I set up on auto delivery. It's been great. If I need an order changed, all I have to do is call and have it customized to my needs, especially if I get a build up of a particular product. I'm 65 years old and will continue to use this as long as I think it's necessary!

Pros:

•cleared up
•smells good
•take me 2 to 3 mins
•easy to store

Cons:

•dries out the sides of my nose
•when stopping usage after a day it immediately breaks me out

I recommend it to people with moderate acne also you may want to put a little bit of lotion (not to much or it will make your face greasy and shiny then vlog up your pores) very good experience with it;)

Pros:

Skin is 99% clear

Cons:

Stuck on Proactiv

I have used this for 5 years and my skin is 99% clear most of the time. In the beginning my skin did have to adjust to the bp, but it didn't take long. I recently tried to come off Proactiv to some more natural products and I suffered a huge breakout.

Pros:

Cleared acne fast-within the first week.

Cons:

Drys out skin, expensive, and you need to make sure you use it everyday to see results.

It worked for me. I'm in my mid-twenties and struggled with acne all throughout high school and into adulthood. I was desperate to find a product that worked for me. Over-the-counter medications never did the trick. Finally, I gave in to all of the commercials and ads about Proactiv and bought it. It took a couple of days to really see the results. It may not work for some people, but Proactiv has a variety of products that you can pick and choose to better cater to your specific needs. I hear they just came out with a product for sensitive skin that is not so drying. I will most definitely be giving that a try.
