Pros:

It seems to work if I keep using it. I cleanse and use repairing lotion.

Cons:

Very expensive and it's a pain in the neck to have to buy products I don't use like the cleanser and toner. I ended up with 12 toners and 11 cleansers!! I just want the repairing lotion! Bleaches my shirts! The mall is twice as expensive.

It works if you use two times a day for at least a week. Nice smelling. Expensive and unable to purchase repairing lotion only!

Pros:

the scrub is nice, and the bp lotion by itself (now using it with differin) seems to help

Cons:

it didn't actually work?? i used it twice, i figured the first time i must have used it wrong or something but turns out it just didn't work for me. i had to buy another lotion on top of paying for the whole system because the bp dried me out so much

wouldn't recommend it. go to your dermatologist and see what s/he says. they know better than some top-dollar infomercial with paid celebrities to endorse it (lindsay lohan? what a joke!)

Pros:

NON

Cons:

I am freaking out because of this system

IT GAVE ME SKIN IRRITATION AND RED SPOTS. I started using proactive to ensure no breakouts at my wedding. My wedding is in less than 2 months. Instead of clear skin it made my regular skin have red bumps and sting. The cleanser also bleached my pillow cases. This crap should be taken off the market. I just pray now my face is back to normal for the wedding. ... Freaking out in Florida

Excellent product and well worth the investment for anyone serious about using a daily skin care regiment as recommended.

Pros:

UV moisturizer gives skin a nice "glow"

Cons:

caused many more large red pimples!! I didnt have bad acne before, yet i seeked the "perfect" skin. A couple weeks after I started I noticed these large painful blemishes, along with very dry skin!

If you dont have many pimples to begin with, i do not suggest using this product, or any other costly skin product.

Pros:

AMAZING! totally cleared up my skin. am always complmented for t and honestly, my face has never looked better!

Cons:

international shipping?

whatever the annoying, stingy over-exagerators say above:this WORKS! im totally serious, i started seeing results on the second day! and it makes your skin glow and feel so smooth and fresh. get it, its worth it!AND, it DOES NOT make your skin worse when you dont use it, i stopped for maybe 2 months and my skin stayed clear.

Pros:

Absolutely none.

Cons:

Too expensive and makes your skin worse. Smelled horrible. Dried skin out instead of "refreshing" it. Enhanced redness.

This product just flat out sucked. I used it as directed religiously and it only made my skin more dry. Then I used it every other day, and my skin seemed to clear up a little, and then it would just break out again.. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IF IT WAS THE LAST ONE ON EARTH!
