Pros:

It has cleared up my acne completely! :)

Cons:

It left my skin a little dry, But the green tea moisturizer solved the dry skin prob and it feels and smells beautiful!

I love this product. I feel so much better now and my acne is all gone.

Pros:

It was a refreshing process and really and truly worked... for about a week or two.

Cons:

After a week of using it as directed the skin on my cheeks and forehead turned red, scaly, and sore. It took weeks to get my skin back in decent condition. And it was a pain in the a** to cancel my trial. And a year later the company still calls me.

I did the whole trial thing that they advertise. It cleared my moderate/light acne in a few days, but my skin dried out way too much and basically got burned from the acids in the formula. If you have really tough skin it'd probably work out alright. I don't consider my forehead to be a sensitive spot, but I guess it was. MAKE SURE YOU CALL AND CANCEL IF YOU'RE UNSATISFIED. Apparently they sell a "sensitive" formula, but from what I've heard it isn't much better. Seriously consult a dermatologist before you use these chemicals.

Pros:

For about two days, your skin feels incredibly smooth and clean.

Cons:

Then it hits you. You will have MORE breakouts than ever. It BURNS after a couple days, you get the worst acne of your entire life, you get acne all over your face, even where you've never had it before. It stinks and requires 3/4 steps twice a day.

If you are looking to be a grotesque, slimy, pimply monster for halloween, then this might be the product for you. That is the result you will get within 3 days. This was a terrible waste of money because I paid like $30 to burn and pimple my skin. You get terrible, painful, infected pimples like you've never had before. DO NOT try it, even if you are given it for free. It wrecks your skin terribly. I now have to spend weeks trying to get rid of the mess proactiv has made on my face. I stuck it out for about three weeks, doing the treatments twice daily, trying to keep faith, but it eventually hurt so bad I had to give up. DO NOT listen to Jessica Simpson, this easily qualifies as the WORST thing I have ever bought.

Pros:

I'm 36 and still have problem skin, i was really suprised at how quickly using this cleared up my pimples. i was really sceptical at first but my skin is 100% better even after just a few weeks.
the best bit is that my pores are smaller and cleaner

Cons:

At first it seems overpriced but when i compare it to my other products, cleanser, moisturiser, spot cream etc, it doesnt seem so bad.
i wish the toner was in a larger container. the cotton balls soak most of it up and not much goes onto my face.

Im getting married in two months and really want clear skin, for now im happy to pay the price. It does smell but not badly, it smells like any another spot cream that contains benzoyl peroxide. botton line is im really happy with the product and would recommend it to anyone to have a go.

It worked wonders on my skin for a month, refining mask makes my face feel clean

Cons:

Stop working and starting getting more breakouts

Don't buy it, maybe buy it if you have one or two breakouts but if you have more then light acne don't use it.

Pros:

I don't have any pros for this product! It makes your eyes burn!

Cons:

Bought this over the summer of 09 because my forehead would get really oily and break out due to the humidity and was very dissatisfied. The product smells absolutely horribe! Like eveyone says it burns your skin and turns it red!

Product does not work for me! My skin broke out even more and became irritated. Plus I was billed 3 months later and mailed a second package without my knowledge.
