Pros:

I really like everything about this product it works well. I like the fragrance, and especially the feel of the cleanser, how it exfoliates while cleansing. It's great!!!!!!!

Cons:

i don't know that there are any cons! Maybe that you have to order it and can't just buy it anywhere but it has not been a problem.

You have to use the products for longer than a few weeks to be able to tell a difference. And it will be drying if you don't use a moisturizer, even if you have oily skin. Give it a chance to do it's job and it works wonders, my skin is wonderful after having to kids and trying other products that didn't work!

Pros:

As long as I use ALL THREE products it works like a miracle. The toner shouldn't make a difference, it should be about the BP lotion, but it isn't. You need to use all 3, but you don't have to scrub for 2 mins, 30 secs just to get your face clean.

Cons:

You have to be regimented, which I am not. I tried to cheat, use a different cleanser, skip the toner when I ran out, it doesn't work the same.

I used a prescription once which made my skin dry and flaky, I tried other things over the years, this stuff just works for me. I think the lesson here is that there is no one product that works for everyone and many products work for someone. This works for me, my skin looks great.

Pros:

Got rid of a sudden breakout. I tried Aveeno, Noxema, and Cetaphil and the pimples didn't go away until I used the ProActiv

It worked wonders for my "unknown cause", sudden acne. The products really isn't that expensive considering you can get a shipment every 16-20 weeks @ $42.00 ...which is about how long my supply lasts.

Pros:

Refining mask works well.

Cons:

Gave me very dry and peeling skin for the first week. For the next three weeks I got no results, in fact my acne slightly got worse.

Used it twice a day but it didnt work for me, but it may work for you.

Pros:

Works great! Still get a pimple here and there, but much better then my skin was

Cons:

The first few weeks the cleanser may feel a little rough on your skin. But it gets better

This is a great product. Im sure it's not for everyone, but it is the one for me. Nothing is going to magically "cure" your acne, but this deffinately helps to reduce it to almost nothing but the occassional break-out. I used it once before about 8 years ago for a little over a year and it was awesome. I just reciently started using it again and Im again very happy with the results

Pros:

It cleared up my acne within a month...it was really amazing and it didnt bother my skin at all. Sometimes i get lazy and just use the wash, and that seems to work really well too. I don't use anything else besides proactiv

Cons:

It's a little pricey, but its totally worth it.

Since I've started using this product i havent had to try anything else. I've been using it for 3 years, and its amazing. It really works and i always recommend it to my friends and family. If you want great skin, try it.

Pros:

Smell, Textures, process, healing, effect, genuine honesty, & simple

Cons:

A bit burning sensation when using toner.

I love this stuff, i have dealt w/ Cystic acne, then had Accutaine & it cleared it up but mild/moderate acne came.... I recently got on Pro-activ "Again" & was skeptical because it didnt clear up my cystic acne.. I love it.. this stufff is truly the best.. I love it so much. It has totally changed my life, i was so devastated & embarassed & wore make up, alll the time.. & im a BOY!! i love the texture of the skin & all tho it's a bit hasseling to get the system on, so you can go thru out your day.. it's well worth it.. & for those who complain about using it everyday YOUR SUPPOSED TO WASH YOUR FASH EVERYDAY ANYWAYS!!!!! I LOVE THIS PRODUCT, THERE ARE NO FLAWS & IT WORKS... I TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS.... JUST USE THE STEPS CORRECTLY & FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS & LEAVE YOUR FACE ALONE..
