Pros:

Good scrub (Could be stronger though)
The sulfur mask is pretty good too

Cons:

Witch Hazel in Astringent + no alcohol + no salycylic acid (Witch hazel is known to clog pores)
Lotion is very weak and dries your face out after awhile (2.5%)
EXPENSIVE!! And its not worth it for the amount they give you.

This product is over-hyped by the celebrity endorsed commercials, and isnt worth the money. However, the scrub is good that they give you. It contains benzoyl-peroxide 2.5%, and has little micro-granules in it. The astrigent takes forevor to dry, and makes your face feel somewhat oily afterwards. The lotion, which they dont give you much of, isn't strong enough and dries your face out. The first introductory shipment they give you is $20 and is half the size of the regular shipment, which includes the sulfur mask, but is extra if you want it with your following shipments. There are various shipping frequencies. I was on the 6 week schedule, and it costs $40 every shipment. My advice: AVOID PROACTIV!! The only reason that this product is succeeding, is beacuse of the celebrities, and because people do not research acne care before they decide to take action against it. What works for me, is to research ingredients and develop a regimen of products that works best against acne.

Pros:

It was convincing because of all of the commercials.

Cons:

It doesn't work. Runs out quickly.

Don't buy, doesn't work. I bought this product think it would actually work but it didn't. I used it for almost a month and a half and most of it was already gone, and it gave me no results. It's a waste of money, makes your skin feel bad, keeps your face dry and peeling. It wastes really quick. Plus I canceled my account with them and they kept sending more packages and charging me for them after I told them it didn't work.

Pros:

it makes your skin slightly softer

Cons:

doesn't work for acne

I tried this since everyone else did. Some of my friends had pretty good results with it. They barely had breakouts though. I get breakouts quite often, and this is just another product out there that is a waste of time and money. I wish there was something that just worked.

Pros:

Clears skin, Works!

Cons:

Refining mask smells a little.

Proactiv solutions works well on my skin, and I must say, I do have sensitive. But I've been using it once a day, only at night, and it works just fine, that way you won't dry out your skin. You have to be patient while using this product, because for me, it took 4 weeks to see results, and other people, it may take more or less. And I was patient, and I do see a big improvement in my skin, and it looks a lot better. It also makes your skin feel clean. =]

Pros:

Makes me feel like I'm getting a good cleaning (strong, Skin feels soft

Cons:

Whiteheads whiteheads everywhere!!!! Also blackheads have gotten worse...no pimples though

I really dont know what to do or think at this point. Should I keep it up, in hopes that the whiteheads and backheads go away? OR Do I stop using it, and hope my face dont breakout like a pizza pie from all the crazy stuff I've put on it? The product is SO strong that when I use them all together sometimes I smell of burnt flesh....that cant be good!!! Lets talk infomercials...Jessica Simpson shut up! SO annoying, stop talking like a baby. They should use someone who is real that we can relate too. To be honest I would love to see her breakout. Anyways I would recommend maybe for someone who has lots of inflammed pimples (not me) I got it in hope my witeheads and blackhead would go away and it only made them worse

Pros:

Fades blemishes and dark spots left behind after a pimple in addition to help clear acne. Also makes skin look healthier and younger over all.

Cons:

Doesn't completely rid face from pimples.

I am 35 and have light acne on my chin and ocasionally elseware. For me this is a good product. I could see where it may not be for everyone. But I definately ssee an extreme difference in my skin overall. My skin looks like it did in the my mid 20's and this produsct really reduces the redness and dark spots from acne. You barely notice that I have acne anymore!

Pros:

Helped clear up my acne, easy to use.

Cons:

Made my skin very dry for the first week.

I wasnt expecting much when I ordered proactiv- Just basically expecting to make good use of their 60day money back guarantee. For the first week I hated it. My skin was dry and flaky& I got 5 HUGE pimples, hurt (and felt) like blind pimples but I could pop them.. I was horrified. However what I did was reduce the amount that I was using - with the cleanser I rubbed it over my face GENTLY, I have a feeling I was so used to foaming cleansers I just automatically rubbed hard when i first started. I also reduced the amt of reparing lotion I was using to about the size of two peas. I have also started using a face mask I read about on Dans message board(egg white and lemon-do a search! it really works!) and after about 3 weeks my skin was near perfect. I have never had such great skin since I was about 11 years old-I'm now 21. For the price - I don't see why people say it's so expensive, I once bought Leaf and Rusher cleanser for $60! I recommend it if youve tri
