Pros:

I used proactive for one year - 9 years ago and even after stopping it, I haven't broken out. Maybe a pimple here and there but that's it. My friends are so jealous of my skin. I used to get picked on from my acne! It's so worth it!

Cons:

There's a lot of steps. I wish it was all in one bottle.

Pros:

Proactiv clears up my skin within 2 days of use, and makes my skin smoother. The refining mask is great for getting rid of pimples over night.

Cons:

If you stop using it, you will most likely break out. I also think it is a little too high in cost.

If you can afford it and you need to get rid of your acne, give Proactiv a try!

Pros:

Proactive has a wonderful toner it immediately smoothed my skin and gave me a glow ,as did the day cleanser. I had immediate resu

Cons:

Sometimes the products burns my skin (like one third of the time) and its dries out my skin so I have to use lots of the toner and daylight cleanser to retain moisture.

I've used proactive for about two and a half months now,my skins really never been better,I used to have gross over exfoliated skin that was dry and almost cracked,whenever I had a pimple or two would pick at it and make it 10000 times worse. Since theres usually product on skin I dont want to mess it up and have stopped picking. THE ONLY BAD THING about proactiv is that it wont clear up the mild acne on my nose,and when I use more then small amount on my nose it gets gross and shiny.

Pros:

Clears a little bit

Cons:

drys skin, makes skin oily, to expensive, not enough in bottles

This product is not really worth it, they make the same kits like neutragena or acne free at walmart for half the price and the same ingredients.

I'm 20 years old. I dont have hard core acne but i do suffer from severe break outs especially on my chin and forehead. My skin is combination. I feel that pro active is best for my skin type due to the fact that it could dry your skin out. I tried it for the first time yesterday and I was suprised with the results already. I notice a lot of redness was gone from my skin and it was left feeling EXTREMELY fresh after I followed the three steps that came with the kit. "Cleanser, toners, and lotion" I love it! I'm looking forward to the results in the future and to have good clear skin. I got a 4 peice kit that incluced the refining mask as a bonus for less then $30.00!!!! Cant beat that! I always heard great things about it so I decided to give it a try. I sometimes can be senstive so if you are too just add a oil-free moisturizer on after you use the products. I use a dab of Neutrogena's Oil-Free Moisturizer for Combination Skin and it stops me from getting that too dry feeling. :)

Pros:

makes skin smooth, skin feels clean

Cons:

has not removed black heads yet

I got the product because I have black heads. I do not acne breakouts but the black heads are there. I have not seen them go away yet. I have only been using the product for about 2 weeks so I will get it another month or so.

Pros:

These products do work.

Cons:

Any piece of clothing the products touch are ruined. It takes the color out of everything, particularly along the neckline.

I stopped using it because I couldn't afford to ruin my clothing and pillowcases.

Pros:

It worked instantly for me, and it kept my skin clear for about 6 months.

Cons:

After 6 months, Proactiv stopped working and began to wreck my skin. I got breakouts in places I've never had acne. Plus, the cost is absolutely ridiculous since the ounces of solution you get is so small.

Everyone's skin is different. Proactiv may work or not work for you. However, considering the price and the other reviews, I'd say exhaust all other options before considering Proactiv.

Pros:

NO PROS

Cons:

MADE MY ACNE WORSE!!!!! on top of that my face became dry even with intense moisturizer, the refining mask smelt horrible and did nothing for me

I never had acne until this year and im in my early 20's, thought this would be the best treatment, unfortunately it made my face even worse! I was using it consistantly twice a day as instructed, never missed a step, and now 4 weeks later my face looks the same, actually it looked inflammed because of the system. try using 100% aloe vera gel, i applied a layer to my face last night after seeing the inflammation caused by the proactiv, this morning i noticed that the inflammation completely went away, it brought some pimples to a head, and even caused some to clear completely...I also used it after a 3 step cleansing system that is gentle on the skin with no B.Peroxide or S.Acid.

Pros:

Everything! This stuff is a miracle. It is the ONLY thing that has ever worked on my acne. I even had people commenting on how nice my skin looked and they didnt even know I started using this. My face was not red and bumpy anymore, this is amazing!!

Cons:

It is expensive but to have clear skin, it's worth it! Doesn't smell too great but at least you only have to deal with it when you're putting it on.

The best acne product I've ever tried, and in my 36 years, i've tried a LOT!!! I really hope they never discontinue this stuff because I will go back to having a pizza face again. note: For acne severity, I put "moderately severe" meaning it would be moderately severe if I didnt have ProActiv!
