Pros:

intialy it made me feel clean, however it striped my skin of everything..

Cons:

I was red raw, i got deeper more serious acne, i was so under nourished, the product detroyed the natural immunity in my skin, and it has taken 12 months for my skin to work in a normal manner, it caused it to be sensitive which ive never had..

Get educated, and go back to the basics.. nothing works well when you strip it of everything..

Pros:

Helped clear my skin up overnight, massive difference

Cons:

burned like hell after applying all 3 products and dried out my skin.

Woth using if you have a major pimple problem, if you can stand the burning sensation

Pros:

Makes your skin feel really clean and smooth

Cons:

Agree with others that it dries you out. Must use additional moisturizer. I can only use once per day. My acne issue is rosacea, and it's helping keep that at bay, but doesn't help as much with period-related acne. Don't see the purpose of the toner.

I like the way the exfoliating cleanser makes my skin feel, but I don't necessarily think it's worth the price. Would probably recommend just buying the exfoliating cleanser and then use my own moisturizer, rather than buy the entire package.

Pros:

Easy to Use
Did clear up acne

Cons:

Dried out my skin
Made my face burn and sensitive
I have wrinkles that I never had before

I do not have very oily skin, but had very mild acne. After using it for 6 weeks, my skin is extremely dry, flaky and burns. Around my eyes I now look like I am 50, instead of 30. And the area looks like snake skin. I have never had very sensitive skin, however now, anything (including makeup) I put on my face burns. If you are young and have oily skin, I can see where this product would work. However, if you are older, have normal to dry skin, please beware that your skin could dry out even more and cause wrinkles to look worse.

Cons:

doesn't freaking work!!!! i was so hopeful.

i have tried so much to try and help my acne. everything works at first and then my skin gets bad again. proactiv actually never improved my skin. my skin got bumpier after i started using it actually. i am glad this works for so many but doesn't work for me.

Pros:

makes my skin feel clean

Cons:

takes too much time since it is 3 steps.

It is good if you have enough time in the morning but makes your face red at first. If you have time to put it on and wait for the redness to go away then yes, if not then no.

Pros:

Gets rid of acne.

Cons:

Cannot stop using.

On one hand proactiv get rid of your acne and keeps it away but heaven forbid you forget to wash your face. Fall asleep in your makeup? Forget it! You'll have a full-out breakout the next morning! Don't have enough money to get a new supply? Use might as well wash your face with a vat of grease! Don't use this product! Its expensive and not strong enough to handle more than 24 hours.

Pros:

When I first started using it I noticed a great difference

Cons:

Over time my skin became really dry so I stopped using it. I waited a year to try it again and it was terribly harsh on my skin

I would be cautious in using it because I think it is so hard on delicate facial skin. It can deplete your moisture over time & make your skin worse, which is what I think it did to me. Be careful also with the sales persons; they recommend using their super strength products if you're still breaking out, which is probably comparable to battery acid.

Pros:

The product did clear my face, it has a nice mild smell

Cons:

it cleared up my skin BUT it dries out your skin I've used the product for over a year now and I have started getting fine lines around my mouth from my skin being dried out to much and I have developed dark patches on my face

everyones skin is not the same and result are going to very from person to person but I had to stop useing the toner and the repairing lotion I just use the cleanser ,So in my case I have to make a choice I can have clear skin or premature old skin I think my choice is KEEP SHOPPING AROUND FOR A BETTER product that won't make me look old ,dried out!
