Pros:

I love this product. I am 44 and had clear skin my entire life until a few years ago I developed adult acne. My skin is clear now and I have confidence I wont wake up tommorrow with a face full of zits.

Cons:

Cost is a bit high, but I figure any price is worth having clear skin.

Great Product! I would recommend for anyone who struggles with acne. My skin tone is more even now and my face looks great. Well Worth It

Pros:

-clears up problems immediately if you aren't allergic
-keeps you looking flawless with consistent use
-very reliable when your chemistry is balanced with the medicine

Cons:

-skin gets worse when you stop
-your skin gets used to the product
-a bit too expensive when you need it and are broke

I just want to put my 2 cents here. I just turned 35. I never had acne as a teenager. I started getting acne around age 26-27? It was bad on my cheeks and chin, deep, big whiteheads, blackheads on my nose. Proactive was my acne knight in shining armor! I used it for almost 10 years, and decided I was tired of using and paying for it... my skin was clear, so I stopped. I'm starting to get those horrible deep pimples again, and around my period? I look like a volcano. It's so humiliating, after having had beautiful flawless skin for so long! I'm trying Clinque's acne solution right now, to see if it helps. OTC products do nothing for me. I have latina, white skin, pores not too big. I may try out the Proactive again, and use it maybe every 2 days, with an OTC cleanser in between. It's just hard on the chemistry of my skin, I think. As I'm getting older, it's hard to battle oily pimples and deep wrinkles from dry, tired skin!!! I'll try it and report back if there's a positive change.

Pros:

My skin was smoother after about a week.
It also exfoliated my skin.

Cons:

It dried out my skin really bad. I'd put tons of moisturizer on and I'd still have tons of little flakes. It also never really got rid of the acne.

It's done a better job at clearing up the acne than anything else I've used, but my skin has never been this dry before in my life. Before I started using this, I had oily skin. I'd rather deal with oily skin than dry skin. After about a month I stopped using the toner and repairing lotion because those dried my skin out the most. My skin still hasn't completely cleared up.

Pros:

nothing. nothing at all.

Cons:

-it dried up my skin so bad that nothing could moisturize it.
-it made my skin oily
-it made my face break out even worse than before

It didnt work for one day, even. i thought my skin would get used to it after two weeks, but it didnt. i am now repairing my skin. THIS IS NOT A GOOD PRODUCT, PEOPLE. it's a scam, waste of money. use what works for you, try different things. you can purchase great products that are very cheap and work amazingly!

Pros:

when i got this product i thought that it would work due to the fact of all the stories i say on tv about this product. Yes i must say that this product did work i say the changes on the first day i started to use it.

Cons:

Well yes i did say that it works but only if you keep using the product. i missed one day of using pro-active and i had two large pimples on my face. The product does not get rid of the blemishes and pimples it covers them up

I feel if you wan to use his product by all means but just know if you want healthy skin forever never stop using this product dont miss any days and your skin will look perfect. But if you do hapen to miss a day of using this product you wil regret it

Pros:

It works for a while.

It eventually stops working.

Don't waste your time. It only worked for me for a few months and than it completely stopped and my acne was worse than ever.

Pros:

I did feel a very genuine "cleanness" after I used proActive.

Cons:

Too many to count: made little to no difference in relieving acne. Caused huge areas of extreme itchy/redness. Also, way too expensive. They force you to order monthly. I had not gotten through all of it, and they charged me for another month!

Little to no effect on my acne, but a lot of strange changes in my skin. ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

Pros:

makes skin softer, clears blackheads and whiteheads.
works fast.

Cons:

takes up time, expensive, is used up quickly.
(personally made my forehead shiny).

Proactiv began working after two or three days. It made my cheeks specifically softer and my smaller pimples disappear. However, it left the bigger ones that I was worried about. It dried out the sides of my nose and chin. Works well for younger people it seems.

Pros:

gives your skin a nice glow and pimples and breakouts decrease.
A nice CLEAN feeling after you wash.

Cons:

your face will get addicted to it. Skin may get dry and start to peel.

Proactiv works. I tried not wearing makeup when I started using the product.. and i noticed tremendous changes in my skin in only 2 days! I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who doesn't have acne, it may cause redness and irritation.
