Pros:

Black heads gone

Cons:

Drying
Takes along time to pit every thing on
Expensive
Doesn't work
Ruins skin
Leaves dark red scars

I'm 14 I started using proactive when I was thirteen I never had bad acne a pimple or two every week. I thought that proactive would eliminate them all... Wrong I have been using proactive for about 6 months and my ance has never been worse. I kept telling my self that it will start working never did. Bottom line I'm tired of wasting my dads money on a product that doesn't work. I have started using Oxy maximum face wash that is only $4 and it works so much better. Just because its expensive and the celebrity's say they use doesn't mean its going to help you get clearer skin..

Pros:

Cleared acne fast-within the first week.

Cons:

Drys out skin, expensive, and you need to make sure you use it everyday to see results.

It worked for me. I'm in my mid-twenties and struggled with acne all throughout high school and into adulthood. I was desperate to find a product that worked for me. Over-the-counter medications never did the trick. Finally, I gave in to all of the commercials and ads about Proactiv and bought it. It took a couple of days to really see the results. It may not work for some people, but Proactiv has a variety of products that you can pick and choose to better cater to your specific needs. I hear they just came out with a product for sensitive skin that is not so drying. I will most definitely be giving that a try.

Pros:

Honestly nothing. It didn't clear up my skin at all and left it incredibly dry. Had a bit of an off scent as well.

Cons:

It didn't clear up my skin at all and left it incredibly dry. Had a bit of an off scent as well. Be VERY cautious before buying this product.

Not worth the money. Also take care when purchasing. I thought I was buying a one time kit, for 39.99. That is the first installment of a mandatory 3 time payment process. You will get two shipments and pay 99 dollars basically. Incredibly upset especially since I called before I purchased to make sure this wan't going to be the case. Lost a lot of money when it wasn't necessary.

Pros:

amazing! it works great! my acne cleared right up after TWO days. it only took two days! my skin felt amazingly soft. the next month i thought id try clean and clear acne advantage which turned out to be a horribly stupid idea and my acne came back so now im switching back to proactiv and i cant wait till it comes so my skin can feel amazing again.

Cons:

it doesnt smell as good as clean and clear, but it definitely works better!

this is the best acne treatment that you will find. dont waste your money on anything else. so excited to get my new monthly supply!

Pros:

Acne disappears for the time Proactiv is used.

Cons:

Cleanser and moisturizer runs out quickly.
Acne comes back after stopping use.

My acne just wouldn't go away, so I finally decided to try Proactiv because I heard that it worked. And it did. In a couple weeks, the acne was disappearing and after a month or two, it was gone. Because the cleanser runs out fast, I had to keep buying it. I finally decided to stop using Proactiv about a month ago. All the acne came back, twice as bad as it used to be before I started it. I'm contemplating whether to get back on Proactiv or not.

Pros:

Cheap kit if order over phone in US

Cons:

Does not work
The mask smells gross
Expensive if have to order seperate
They sell close to expiry date products and tell you it is okay to use expired
Keep sending "Come back please!" mail every month - so rude, maybe Im clear!

I did not see any results with this. I only like their Make up Removing cloths, the rest of the products didnt do anything for me. Their lotions made my skin feel greasy, their toner was oily and mask smells just horrible. I am using another product now that is much better but Proactiv keeps sending me - "Come Back, we miss you!" cards every month, that is really rude - its like they want me to have acne again!

Cons:

-does NOT work, at all
-costs too much
-they make you use it three times a day (too much for me)

I tried this when I was 19. I bought it for 3 months, thinking that would be enough time to clear my skin up. It was not, my face never cleared up. I would follow the instructions like my life depended on it, and nothing ever happened. This product will let you know in the instructions that the wash is just part of the procedure, you must also watch everything you eat and handle your stress. You should not have to do all of this just to make proactive work.

Pros:

works if your acne isn't bad

Cons:

doesn't work if your acne is bad

when I was a teen my acne i had some acne but luckily it wasn't too bad. I used this for about a year and it seemed to keep it away pretty good. not sure why but my acne came back full force when I was 23 and i tried this again and it did nothing. tried murad and again nothing. I strongly believe that if your acne is more than just mild or happens sometimes, you need to do something within your body to make it go away. I used Exposed then Zenmed and both worked because they have herbs to clear your body which is what you need. Either that or meds from dr. I'm choosing not recommending because if your acne is bad you will need something else. If your acne really isn't that bad u can prob try this though.
