Pros:

Proactiv works... I tried everything before to no avail, but this completely cleared my skin.

Cons:

Pretty expensive. $45 (including shipping) for the 3-step kit which is supposed to last 8 weeks, but I don't skimp, so it lasts me a little over 6 weeks.

Absolutely 100% worked for me. I had moderate acne from age 15, which suddenly got even worse after I turned 21. I tried everything; including Retin-A cream, antibiotics, 10% benzoyl peroxide, and virtually every other over-the-counter remedy. With all of them, there would be no change or my skin would dry out and get even worse. So I took a shot and ordered Proactiv despite the unbelievable commercials. My skin completely cleared up within a month. Now 95% of the time I have no pimples at all - the only reason I wear makeup is to hide the red marks from old acne. When I do break out, it is ONE little zit that takes only a few days to disappear.

Pros:

There were none.

Cons:

Not only did it dry out my skin, but although I had midly moderate acne to begin with, it turned into severe. I thought that maybe it took a while to work so I continued using it for about three months and my face was horrendous.

It was horrible, I would not recommend this product to anyone who has anything but slight acne, it turned my face red, and I broke out for months with painful acne everywhere. Now my face is just starting to readjust.

Pros:

My skin seems healthier. Because I spent so much on it, I am consistent about using it, which means I am taking better care of my skin. I have cleared up some, but still have some nagging zits. Before use, my acne was moderate, now it's mild.

Cons:

It really severly dries out the skin. Be sure to use a moisturizer.

I will order it again, but I would only recommend to friends who I think wouldn't mind taking a gamble.

Pros:

Proactiv clears up the blemishes and is easy on my skin.

Cons:

You must use proactiv everyday. It is time consuming, The cleanser doesn't remove all the makeup sp you may need to have another product on top of the Proactive line.

If you use this product you must use it everyday. I have skipped using it once my face begins to clear up and then it all comes back. I am afraid to change products though because proactiv does work, but only to an extent.

Pros:

It works really well for the first year or so... a major difference within the first few uses.

Cons:

After a few months it loses its effectiveness for some reason, maybe it's drying my skin out too much?

No

Pros:

It works the first 4 months, but you cant miss a day, or the your skin will get worse!

Cons:

Stops working after a while..and no difference after the initial four months. Mild break-out first few weeks.

It works for a while, but for me it just stopped working. It might be different on others but I suggest differin gel.

Pros:

-skin feels softer
-has times when its pretty clear

Cons:

-lotion is greasy
-it burns and itches a bit when you first use it
-doesnt make you confident, still insecure and doesnt prevent breakouts at all

the toner runs out very fast, i find the mask to work better than anything else. my skin feels smoother but i get ingrowns a lot and it doesnt seem to help prevent it or make my face "glowing." i still feel insecure. I am a little dissapointed..I think it works sometimes and doesnt others, but i dont think that has anything to do with the medication just how lucky you are that week. Im going to keep trying

Pros:

The cleanser is real good, It makes your skin soft and it helps control some acne.

Cons:

After using it for a month or longer it doesn't work, Your skin gets red and it does get somewhat flaky.

I believe you can go to wal-mart and get something more affordable and work just as good!!!!!!

Pros:

i just started using it like 4 days ago and my skin is a tiny bit smooth.

Cons:

it makes it really itchy after you use it and it gets rid of small pimples not that much withBIG ones. i'll see after a month if its good or not worth it.

i think that its working for my skin. the only thing that works for me is the toner and the mask thing. my forehead has LOTS of pimples and when i first starting using it , it took away the small bumps but kept the big red ones that hurt. i think you should try it cuz it may work for some skin types or maybe it wont. after a month i'm gonna see if its been working good on my skin or if its not worth the money at all.
