Pros:

It worked in the beginning

Cons:

cost is high

It worked while I was using it. After I stopped my acne was worse than it ever had been. I have acne so bad with out breaks that I never had before. Proactive clearly made my skin worse. It seems to have altered my bodies hormonal balance.

Pros:

it seems to refine at the beginning. I felt like my face was sooo clean.

Cons:

It doesnt last long. I have been on it for almost a month and havent really seen a change. I have blackheads and whiteheads that I cannot seem to get ride of. I dont know if i will continue.

Products do not work as well as the people say that it does. I dont think it works any better than over the counter clearasil or nutregena products!

Pros:

Worked really well at first. Cleared everything up in a few days.

Cons:

After a few weeks, my face started to get oily again and I got more pimples than I had before even though I hadn't changed the way or amount of times a day I was using it.

Not worth it.

Pros:

Proactive worked for me when nothing else did!!

Cons:

Caused slight dryness the first month

I live in Chicago and have had the opportunity to visit several dermatologists here. The medication that they gave me made my skin look and feel worse. I would say my acne is moderate. My breakouts were few, but when I did breakout it was horrible and it seemed like it took weeks for skin to clear up. I am in my late 30's and have struggled w/ acne since I was about 24. Nothing helped me but Proactive. I saw the commercials for years and never thought to give it a try until I saw it on QVC. They supersized everything, plus they included the green tea moisturizer and the on the spot benzoyl treatment. I can't believe that I could have had clear skin years ago. Please if you are considering Proactive, give it a try!!! Your skin can't get any worse....

Pros:

clears up acne and "underground" blemishes quickly, feels like your giving your skin a facial,

Cons:

expensive, needs to be used consistantly daily,

For how bad and horrible my acne was before this product (even though it is over priced) is a miracle for my face! I do not have unrealistic "perfect" skin but it has made a HUGE impact! If I showed you before and after pictures of my skin you would SEE the difference imediately! I saw it on a comericial and tried it for 30 days! Cant live without it! I just hope it continues to work for me! I have been using it for about 5 months or so... LUV IT!!! *Where it says my acne is "Moderately severe" that is how it used to be now it is light and not too noticible.

Pros:

The system does reduce my acne but blackheads are still a problem and I still have a few pimples every day.

Cons:

I never got that completely clean skin others take about. It dries out your skin a little bit.

The most concerning thing about this product is that it started bleaching out my towels and pillow cases. If that's what it does to fabric, what's it doing to my skin? Currently looking for something new.
