Pros:

Absolutely works but you MUST stick with it. The original version did not work for me but I used the Extra Strength version and overall it does a good job.

Cons:

The only issue is that I still have periodic breakouts but they are now where near what I had without Proactiv.

Overall a very good product and cost effective give its daily use- BUT you have to be consistent with it. For me, it did take several weeks before I saw significant results but the customer service staff noted that this can be the issue with some people. Since I didn't develop acne until well into my adult years, it's been heard to find a product that has worked. But all in all, this is the clearest my skin has been since the onset of acne.

Pros:

- It came as a complete kit
- The infomercial gives a good placebo effect (i.e. making you believe it will work)
- Clear instructions

Cons:

It didn't work for me, made my acne worse. It was very expensive. It only sells via tv and one online store over here. It didn't last nearly as long as indicated. Rereading the info off their website makes me feel cheated.

Even though it didn't work and made my acne worse I must admit i'm glad I tried it. Now I know it doesn't work for me, and can move on to other cheaper options. I guess it works for some people, but reading the reviews here really makes me wonder how they can claim to be so successful.

Pros:

Smells great.
Leaves skin feeling soft.
Easy to use, not time consuming.

Cons:

Does not work.
Too expensive.

I have a lot more pimples when NOT using it but overall it does not clear up anything or help my appearance. I am not satisfied with this product at all. I have been using Proactiv for a while now thinking nothing else would help but I've recently read great reviews on Mary Kay's Acne Treatment Gel and I'm going to try that out and STOP using Proactiv.

Pros:

i really can't think of a pro. it honestly did not work.

Cons:

it dried my skin out, terribly. the refining mask that is supposed to "clear up pimples overnight" definitely did not work.
overall epic failure.

My acne was mild, and it didn't even come close to helping. Not worth it!!!!

way too expensive for a product that doesn't work!

Made my face severely red like a sunburn and then it peeled my skin off my face! My girls used it for about 6 months before I tried it and it did nothing at all for them!! I would never recommend this product to anyone!!!

Pros:

My son tried this product for 8 months. This product does not work it ruined my sons face who was 16 years old at that time now 17. He had very few acne before he tried this proactive then it got worse after treatment.

Cons:

Expensive and does not work. They have an excellent commercial to sell this product and would not recommend to someone to try because it is too costly.

Product doesn't work and the company have celebrities to advertise this product. Shame on them. It ruined my teenage son's face.
