Pros:

As long as I use ALL THREE products it works like a miracle. The toner shouldn't make a difference, it should be about the BP lotion, but it isn't. You need to use all 3, but you don't have to scrub for 2 mins, 30 secs just to get your face clean.

Cons:

You have to be regimented, which I am not. I tried to cheat, use a different cleanser, skip the toner when I ran out, it doesn't work the same.

I used a prescription once which made my skin dry and flaky, I tried other things over the years, this stuff just works for me. I think the lesson here is that there is no one product that works for everyone and many products work for someone. This works for me, my skin looks great.

Pros:

Works great! Still get a pimple here and there, but much better then my skin was

Cons:

The first few weeks the cleanser may feel a little rough on your skin. But it gets better

This is a great product. Im sure it's not for everyone, but it is the one for me. Nothing is going to magically "cure" your acne, but this deffinately helps to reduce it to almost nothing but the occassional break-out. I used it once before about 8 years ago for a little over a year and it was awesome. I just reciently started using it again and Im again very happy with the results

Pros:

It cleared up my acne within a month...it was really amazing and it didnt bother my skin at all. Sometimes i get lazy and just use the wash, and that seems to work really well too. I don't use anything else besides proactiv

Cons:

It's a little pricey, but its totally worth it.

Since I've started using this product i havent had to try anything else. I've been using it for 3 years, and its amazing. It really works and i always recommend it to my friends and family. If you want great skin, try it.

Pros:

Smell, Textures, process, healing, effect, genuine honesty, & simple

Cons:

A bit burning sensation when using toner.

I love this stuff, i have dealt w/ Cystic acne, then had Accutaine & it cleared it up but mild/moderate acne came.... I recently got on Pro-activ "Again" & was skeptical because it didnt clear up my cystic acne.. I love it.. this stufff is truly the best.. I love it so much. It has totally changed my life, i was so devastated & embarassed & wore make up, alll the time.. & im a BOY!! i love the texture of the skin & all tho it's a bit hasseling to get the system on, so you can go thru out your day.. it's well worth it.. & for those who complain about using it everyday YOUR SUPPOSED TO WASH YOUR FASH EVERYDAY ANYWAYS!!!!! I LOVE THIS PRODUCT, THERE ARE NO FLAWS & IT WORKS... I TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS.... JUST USE THE STEPS CORRECTLY & FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS & LEAVE YOUR FACE ALONE..

Pros:

The product never irritates my skin and it keeps my face clear and acne-fee. Also, I love their green tea moisturizer--its light-weight, feels refreshing, and smells great!Along with the cleanser, toner, and repairing lotion, I also highly suggest t

Cons:

Yes, the product will bleach wash cloths, towels, and even your bedsheets, which I agree is annoying. However, the instructions CLEARLY warn of this (please read people). Most prescription acne cleansers and medications also bleach fabrics.

I have been using Proactive for 3 years now and I love the product! I use proactive twice a day, my skin is acne free, and is never irritated. I had been going to dermatologists (I tried several) for 6 years before trying proactive. ALL of the face cleansers and medicated creams given to me by dermatologists would always make my face burn and my skin was constantly dry and peeling--yet I STILL had bad, embarrassing acne. I was even taking prescription antibiotics daily for acne as well. On a whim, I quit all of my dermatologist crap, began proactive, and got results immediately. (And it was painless!) I owe my confidence to Proactive. Do be aware, Proactive is a prescription strenth product for people with really bad acne--if you just a few zits, buy something cheaper and gentler. (Proactive does not cause scaring. Acne causes scaring. If you have an extreme case of acne, your face may already be scared, but you will only be able to see the scares once the acne

Pros:

It clears up the acne right away

It worked for ME!!! For all those people out there who say it is crap and it didn't work for them, well every skin type is different, it worked for me but not for my sister cause we have DIFFERENT skin! ANd as far as the celebrities doing this for money or whatever, like they need the money! Why would they say a product worked for them and risk their reputation? Duh, think about it! After reading all these comments I ordered it anyway and I listened to everything that the customer service people said and they tell you they are gunna continue to send it every 60 days, so it is your own stupidity if you didn't listen! TRY IT!!!

Pros:

Clears skin, d'uh

Cons:

No option for larger bottles.

Customer service is actually great if you deal with them correctly. Club membership is a joke since you can have them ship it once a year if you'd like or everyday and you can suspend without cancelling indefinitely. I had a daughter and broke out ridiculously bad, within days i had clearer skin, my daughter is 7 now and i still use it. Best part is i can use other things on my face i couldn't use before, moisturizers and makeup and masks...miracle product. Tried prescription, otc treatments...you name it, this is the only thing that works and continues to prevent more. Here's a tip for everyone that experienced redness or dryness or itchiness from dryness MOISTURIZE!! C'mon ladies you drink water for your body you apply moisture on your skin head to toe daily. cost to benefit: no contest way worth the price.

Pros:

My skin is clearer than it has been since i was a kid, not to mention how smooth it is and my pores are smaller.

Cons:

I can't think of any.

Proactiv started working within 2 weeks after I started using it. (I use it religiously ... never skip a morning or night treatment... c'mon, how hard is it to wash your face and slap a little toner & repair lotion on? Takes less than 2 min.) I buy a 3 pc. system every 7 weeks. I bought the blemish treatment at the beginning and haven't needed it since. I also use the sheer tint moisturizer ... something I could have never done before, as I needed something heavier to cover up. Their concealer works well and I love the loose powder. I only wish I had before pictures, I'd do a commercial lol
