Pros:

Green Tea Moisturizer is good

Cons:

Provokes very dry skin
Skin peeling
Provokes breakouts

A little about me, I have dry acne-prone skin. I did not have sensitive skin, until I used this product. Just not worth it. I was really excited to try this, and after using it for 2 weeks my face was so dry that I had to go to a dermatologist. My face started peeling horribly, just really not worth it. It was extremely harsh, and did not do anything good to my skin.

Pros:

It has got me into a good routine of skin care, and taking off my make up

Cons:

Dryness
Stinging
No results
They trick you

Ok so I am 23 and havent had trouble with my skin recently, i had tryed the acne treatments from the chemists, but as soon as i saw that i was having no result from those treatments i saw an advert for Proactiv, i mean freakin Katy Perry said it worked so thought i would give it a go, been 3 weeks, no improvement, if anything my skins got worse, got a rash on my cheek and redness. Also they tricked us into signing up for another subscription and took money off us for that and we had to pay to post it back!! Totally not worth it, going to a concert saturday and my skins awful, not happy. Spent about £60 think thats around $80

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

Billing/Customer Service

Do not buy this product. Billing and customer service suck. They don't tell you that there will be future shipments with 3 payments totaling $99.00. After returning the product it takes them 6-8 weeks to receive it and then another few weeks to return your money. In the mean time they continue to charge you for the product.

Pros:

Worked for first few weeks

Cons:

Too expensive and doesn't work.

gAt first I thought this had worked for me but after a few weeks the acne came back and I noticed lots of blackheads appearing. I really wanted to believe this would work, even though, if I am being honest, I knew it wouldn't. They definately have the money to spend on advertising and it maybe would work if you have very mild acne but please don't waste your money if you have severe acne. I have now seen the doctor and Im am being prescribed Accutane, which I have heard great things about.

Pros:

quick fix for mild to moderate or hormonal breakouts.........

Cons:

DRY!
RED SENSITIVE SKIN!
Should I be putting something on my face that bleaches my towels???
CROOKS! those jerks sent me more of this garbage without my consent and charged my account, when i called to complain, they tricked me into paying a remaining balance that i "owed". RUDE! customer service is terrible. i paid over 70 bucks for a sh*t product and shipping and their ridiculously small "free" gift"

Buy it at a mall or something if you MUST try it. DO NOT BUY from the official website. I don't HATE the product for those days when i just can't get my skin to do what I want, but I will not tolerate a company that lies to steals from and cheats their clients. not worth it and therefore I won't use 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:

Nothing

Cons:

Breaks you out more than before, skin burning, itching, and redness associated with this product. Causes dark spots due to the excessive amount of bumps that you will receive by using this product.

I would NEVER recommend this product to anyone. If you are breaking out then I suggest you go to a doctor and have them write you a prescription or use something over the counter like St. Ives or Queen Helene acne wash which has helped to clear up what Proactive caused. Their customer service sucks and they are rude. I also got tricked into buying a 90 day supply even though I only wanted the trial product and they wouldn't refund my money but instead argued with me about it. I couldn't remember what I paid but it was 90 something dollars

Pros:

Didn't dry out my skin like some people said it did to theirs
Left my skin feeling clean

Cons:

Didn't actually work at all, in fact it made my acne slightly worse
The cleanser scrubs your skin too harshly
Very small bottles, not enough product to last 60 days

Good just to generally cleanse and tone etc as a regime for people with normal (clear) skin, but not worth the £45 because it didn't actually help my acne at all, in fact it made it worse
