Pros:

Made my skin feel soft
Clean feeling

Cons:

Didn't really help my acne
Didn't prevent new breakouts

I have a combination of dry and oily skin, and my acne is pretty moderate. I have pimples around my chin and forehead and when I tried this product it didn't do really anything except give my skin a clean feeling.

Cons:

Making my skin flaky, sore, red.
Burns after applying.
Very drying.

About 4 years ago I used to have very bad acne on my forehead, but my mum said I was too young to try it, (9) so I would steal it from my brother, cheeky I know, but it worked so good! In only a couple of days, but that was the old proactiv. After my brother cancelled it because his breakouts were gone, mine came back but they were very light. 4 years later they have gotten so bad. So now I'm 13 my mum got the "new and improved" proactiv. I've only been using it for exactly a week but my skin is flaky, irritated, dry, flaky, disgusting. Its making my acne worse and burning my face. I don't know what they did to proactiv, but its just sh*t now. I will continue to use this for a couple more weeks to see if I do get some results. Lets hope.

Pros:

Cleared up SOME acne

Cons:

Dried out skin
Made skin peel
Burned
Still have acne!

When I bought proactive I heard so much about it that i was sure it was going to work. When I got it in the mail I was so excited to start using it. In the first few days i noticed that some of my acne was starting to disapper. Within about a week my skin started burning and peeling and my acne was starting to come back. After about two or three months I stopped using it and now i'm using epiduo gel which I LOVE! I would reccommend this to other people only because I have heard about so many people using it with wonderful results and maybe it was just my skin type that it didn't work for.

Pros:

left skin feeling clean and got rid of half of acne.

Cons:

left uglly scars and didn't clear up acne.
i also had to use it 2-3 times a day and the whole 3 step system took me about 7 minutes and i think that is took much time and effort for this little results.

proactive is like a half-ass job for clearing acne. i recoment it to people who don't REALLY care about their skin and are willing to do alot of work for it.

Pros:

It smells better then most skin care products and thats it!!!

Cons:

EVERYTHING excpet the fragrence! It dried out my skin to the point that it was raw and burned when i touched my face. It left wilts and scars on my right cheek!! Nothing about Proactiv worked for me. Its so not worth the money you pay for it.

I will never ever use this ever again.

Pros:

Smooth skin

Cons:

Dries skin out to the point where it feels like it's on fire.

I didn't fee it was worth it to buy it. I've been using it for about five weeks and my skin is breaking out. I can't use it more than once a day because my skin feels like it's on fire. It becomes so itchy, it physically pains me to use it more than once a day. I'm pretty much at my wits end, I feel like nothing I try works. Everyone said Proactive was supposed to be amazing, but it's really not.

Too dying
This stuff was WAY too harsh for my sensitive skin. It dried me out and made my pimples more red and irritated. On top of that, it didn't help my acne at all.
