Pros:

None

Cons:

Expensive, overhyped, con you into buying more.

I tried it years ago, when my acne was milder, and it made things much worse. I recently decided to give it another chance, thinking that since my skin was more mature I'd get a different result. Now I have big, inflamed, painful pimples instead of the smaller ones I had before. I guess it just doesn't work for everyone. Especially if you're not getting paid to say it does.

Pros:

It cleared up a little bit of my acne

Cons:

It made my face really dry and it started peeling

Proactiv isn't for everyone. People with sensitive skin should probably stay away from this product. People with tough skin could use this and it would probably help, but everybodys skin is different and not one of the acne systems out there is going to work for everyone, that is why i recommend Skin id by Neutrogena. You take a skin evaluation test and it tells you what kind of acne treatment you should get. I highly reccommend it for everyone cause it will match you personally, but only if you answer the questions honestly.

Pros:

For someone who feels they have to scrub the crap out of their skin to get to clean, then it's good, but that's the only good thing about it.

Cons:

It worked for like the first three months I used it, then it just seems to stop working. Even sticking with the system it tells you to use doesn't seem to do anything. Can't believe I've wasted my money on this for so long.

Sucks.

Pros:

There was a little improvement for a few months...Then it went to hell. The refining mask is all that worked for me if I left it on for 10 minutes, not the entire night.

Cons:

Once you stop using it you get HUGE pimples that stay under the skin and hurt, it dried out my skin even with the moisturizer, it made my face very red and very sensitive.

It's up to you, I mean it worked great at first but then it didn't. My fiance uses it but only when he has a breakout and it works for him (but he also uses clearasil for men) so I don't know which product it is. But...Yeah, this is entirely up to you if you can afford it, but BEWARE - I canceled my order and they KEPT SENDING ME IT AND BILLING ME.

Pros:

worked miracles from around the first few days~months for me ^_^ also made the texture of my skin very smooth :] works well for inflamed acne, but not as well for blackheads ;S

Cons:

-i started getting minor breakouts on my forehead from 'step 3' after the first few months
-BP has a tendancy to dry your skin out, so make sure you have a very effective moisturizer
-some ppl break out when they stop using it for a few days

worth a try if you have severe acne ;] a little bit pricey tho ;S

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:

It worked well on my skin, making it less oily. It really helped with all my blackheads

Cons:

it doesn't come with a moisturizer and dries out some types of skin, so its a good idea to buy one.

It worked for me, but ive heard it doesn't work for other people. But me and my beast friend both swear by it.

Pros:

-Works at first. - I havent noticed any bleaching of my hair or fabrics.
-Doesnt smell TOO bad.- Easy to use.
-Monthly supply lasts a long time.

Cons:

-Works at first then stops.-Makes your skin DRY
-Burns sometimes.

Okay, here's the deal. It worked pretty well at first, but it got gradually less effective as i used it. it makes your skin SO dry and the toning stuff burns like crazy. Its really hard to stop using it though because even just two days of not using it, i broke out terribly. So... use it if you can keep it up, but NEVER quit for a few days...
