Pros:

None.

Cons:

Didn't clear up my acne and dried up my skin.

DO NOT ORDER ONLINE. They signed me up for continuous delivery without my knowledge and kept sending me the product and charging my credit card. By the time I realized it my card was charged over $70. I would recommend seeing a dermatologist instead, treatment is generally covered by insurance.

Pros:

the only thing in this whole kit that did any good was the green tea moisturizer.

Cons:

It severely damaged my skin. my acne got worse than it ever was before & worse than I ever thought acne COULD get. It dries my skin out,left it flaky and scarred-Im still trying to reverse & repair what Pro-activ did to me. Ruined my skin, my LIFE.

Proactiv ruined my skin, any left over shards of confidence/self esteem I had..my life

PRICE SCAM! I ordered product and was given a total of $29.95 but when the product arrived it was 2 installments of $29.95 for a total of $59.90. Never was that total given until I received the product. I havn't used it and I'm already not pleased. Watch out for the price scam!!!!!

Pros:

Worked great....for the first week.

Cons:

Dry face, acne got worse.

I used this garbage for a little more than 2 months and my face looks like garbage. I had to go to this after the acne.org regimen stopped working for me (I recommend that more than THIS) It only gave me great clear skin for the first week but then everything went downhill. They say stop using it and your face breaks out worse but I just stopped using it and my face got better, so yeah, never going back to that again..

Pros:

Makes your skin pretty smooth, scrubs away scars. I like the face wash with the exfoliating beads. DOES clear up pimples after several days. Pores are less noticeable.

Cons:

Toner makes skin SUPER SUPER SUPER dry! And it does make your skin turn red, so use it at night. Or use it in the morning then cover with good foundation. The Refining mask does not work for me. Just makes my skin smelly.

Avoid toner! If you're buying it, BUY IT AT THE KIOSK (the little carts in the malls). And buy only the face wash and lotion. Toner is NOT necessary according to online beauty sources. Don't buy it online b/c you'll be added to their membership list and they charge you every month. AND WHEN USING proactiv, make sure that after face wash and lotion, USE plenty of moisturizing lotion with SPF at least 15 (the more the better). If you feel your skin feel the slightest dryness, moisturize right away to prevent your skin from peeling! The ingredients are supposed to "suck away oil" so that you'll have less pimples and less blocked pores. I don't know how to prevent the redness though... I'll find out soon. IF YOU still want to keep proactiv, just follow these steps.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Gave me worse acne and the kind that hurts!! I never broke out on my chin or the bottom of my cheeks, but now I have worse acne then I started with!!

I used this product when I was in high school and it worked wonders, but it was really expensive and i was only 15 so I couldn't afford it. I decided to use it again last month because I randomly had a really bad break out in October. Unfortunately, this product made my skin so much worse and gave me terrible cystic acne instead. Right now I'm trying gentle products to heal my skin again and not irritate it like Proactiv. Basically...don't put things on your face that bleaches your towels!!!

Pros:

The first 2 weeks of the product really worked and felt great

Cons:

After 2 weeks of use, my skin broke out even more and caused more acne on my face and forehead. The skin looks like its burned, my face required more Makeup to cover up the Acne and dry sking.

I had to stop using the product and im going to consult a Dermatologist next week to see why i had this reaction and what I could do to have clear skin again.

Pros:

At first when i used proactiv, it made my skin all dry and peely. But after a couple of weeks all my pimples were gone ! It works! Ive tried everything and this is the only product that works :D

Cons:

The first few weeks proactiv made my all my pimples come out and they were all pussy it was also quite expensive

I would recommend this to those suffering from very severe acne. It works for me so it could work for you ! Not to be corny or anything! But it really did change my life.
