Pros:

It cleared up my face instantly, and kept it that way for the time i was using it. I think it absolutely works.

Cons:

When i stop using it, i broke out.

I think thats its worth the money and i went without it for about 2 months and i immediately went back to it and i had all kinds of breakouts. I have been back on it for a week and i already see an EXTREME improvement. Its worth the investment.

Pros:

Works very well for me. I had acne problem since 10 years ago. I tried a bunch of brands even very expensive ones. None of them worked out. But Proactiv stopped my breakout ever since. I even recommended it to my friends. All positive feedback

I had some skin flakes and driness at the first beginning when I started to use Proactiv. But I kept using it, but only in less amount and frequency. After some time, the allergy went away and my skin started to fall in love with this product. That's what I told my freidns. Keep using it after your skin gets use to it. Then you will see the effect. I have been using it for 2 years.

Pros:

Smells nice, looks nice, cool idea of products.

Cons:

Doesn't at all work.

I've attempted to use proactiv twice to get rid of acne..It didn't work. I tried it the first time a couple years ago, and eventually gave up on everything. Then recently I thought I'd give it another try because of all the celebrity endorses, and new products. I thought my skin would actually clear and I'd look like me again..but it didn't. I used it about two months and it abosutely did nothing for my skin! It was a waste of money, and time. Proactiv is just an endorsement scam, for the majority of people it makes the acne worse. I hate proactiv and never again will I or let any family or friends buy it.My mom bought me four kits and I eventually got to return all of them. By the way, the customer service there sucks. Good luck with this crap in a bottle, Proactiv.

Pros:

I don't believe there is any reason to buy this product.

Cons:

This is an expensive item that did nothing for my acne. I have since discovered the Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Control Kit and it works wonderfully!

Do not get Proactive, get the Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Control Kit.

Pros:

* the toner makes my skin look more even
* it smells good and gets rid of pimples faster than any other product I've tried
* leaves my skin feeling fresh all day

Cons:

* it can cause mild dryness but all you need is to put a non-comedogenic moisturizer over the refining lotion
* a little over-priced

Proactiv doesn't completely clear your skin right away but sticking with it for at least 3 weeks, you will definitely see a huge difference. So hang it there!!

Pros:

The sulfur mask really does work.

Cons:

Irritation, skin extra vulnerable to sun when using toner.

From experience, only the mask worked (and ironically there is very little of it). The lotion burns and the exfoliant doesn't feel like it works at all. The toner is so-so.

Pros:

My pores look a lot smaller and tighter, my skin is glowing and i'm not breaking out as much.

Cons:

my skin feels so dry, stingy and itchy! i'm going to try using a oil-free lotion for sensitive skin in combination with proactiv. see how that goes.

i think this is a product for people with extremely oily skin, and it's drying properties are a little too intense for everyone. too bad they don't make different "levels" of proactiv!

Pros:

This is the only thing that has ever worked for my acne. Of all the medications, creams, soaps, and lotions, this is the only thing that has gotten rid of all the blemishes. For the first time in 11 years, my skin is almost completely clear.

Cons:

Quite expensive, and doesn't seem to work as well on blackheads.

Seems to be great for people with oily skin. The scrub makes your skin feel really smooth.

Pros:

Worked for the first few days & did clear up a few pimples

Cons:

Kind of the same as the pros it only worked temporarily,then it just seemed to stop.

Dont waste your money!This product consists mainly of benzoyl peroxide & for alot of people that just isnt enough.You also need like salicylic acid to balance your skin.Please dont waste your money.
