Pros:

It doesn't dry my skin out like most acne solutions. No allergic reaction (which was a huge surprise) and actually controls oil.

Cons:

It wasn't the reason my hormonal cystic acne stopped ruining my life. My ob/gyn put me on lo-orval 28 and prior to thta, my dermatologist put me on spironolacte.

Proactive is a nice skin care but not an acne solution. It will not stop your horrible acne such as cysts or hormonal acne but, once you consult a dermatologist and an ob/gyn and they work together to figure out which hormones cause your acne, you can rely on proactive as a very nice skin care supplement. Once again, IT IS NOT an acne medication (as it claims to be) but a nice skin care. As a person, who struggled with hormonal cysts and terrible acne for over 10 years and finally got it under control at the age of 24, I recommend going on a pill and trying spironolacte and then, once your acne is under control trying Proactive.

Pros:

good moisturizer and topical treatment
ease of use

Cons:

didn't work, to be a club member you have to set up automatic shipments and if you try to lengthen the time of shipments it customer service won't allow you to.
pricey
cleanser doesn't clean at all

Multi step program, need to wait a few minutes between each application, my acne worsened, customer service is a joke! They didn't adjust my shipment request like I asked and charged me anyway. The system didn't reduce my acne, but actually caused more pimples that I couldn't clear up. However, it didn't dry my face out like other products I've used. Definitely buy in the mall first...don't pay for shipping!!!

It is the only product that cleared up my severe acne! I had used it for almost a year and it reduced my pimples significantly along with redness on my face! It increased it at the beginning but everyone noticed how much my skin had cleared. Murad did not work for me, any drug store products were drying my skin too much. I stopped using Pro-Active after a year and my skin still have blackheads and redness but I do not have ugly red pimples all over it. Unfortunately, after moving to Southwest, I could not used Pro-activ anymore because it started to dry my skin out too much. I still use their refining mask once in a while, though. I am not sure if climate added to that or other factors but I can honestly say that i had a dramatic results with proactive.

Cons:

The only I would reccomend is to buy it at the mall or where ever u can find it! I USE to get it shipped but my supply lasted longer then it was suppose to so I was paying too much for more I didn't need. Now I wait till I run out and buy it which is

Proactive works if u use it right! U have to wash ur face with the cleanser for a good 2 mins. I put more time in my problem areas and it worked!

Pros:

Worked great when I first got it. My skin felt very soft after using it.

Cons:

I've used it for a long time and it has stopped working. I also think the cleanser is too abrasive, especially when I'm having breakouts.

I've stopped used Proactive and I've started using the Regimen.

Pros:

works fast, fades dark spots, moisterizes skin

Cons:

none

some people say proactiv is too many steps..that is not true its a cleanser a toner and a lotion/ which is what you should be doing to your skin everyday anyway....the truth is....proactiv works...it has been the only thing tha has worked on my skin. i only experienced dryness with the product if i used too much of the product, you only need a litttle of the cleanser and a little of the lotion and you will see how soft and smooth your skin becomes within like 2 weeks of using it....it also faded my dark spots and gave my skin a glowing complexion, i have stopped using it couple times to try new products only for the acne to come back worse and end up going back to it....it truly is amazing.....some people complain about when you stop the acne comes back....well they should know, there is no cure for acne, so once you stop treatmen of course it will come back if you have acne prone skin

Pros:

Makes my skin soft and feel clean. Worked for the first couple years using it.

Cons:

Does not work any longer after years of using. Skin breaks out more then ever now and have been useing proactiv for over 5 years. Does not stop new break outs and does not reduce how often break outs happen.

Was good in the begining, but now does not work any longer.

Pros:

Proactiv works great!
I loveee it so much.

Cons:

You have to keep up with it use it every night or you will start breaking out into little spots again..

It works great, just keep up with it. It takes about a week and it should start clearing up.
