Pros:

Worked great....for the first week.

Cons:

Dry face, acne got worse.

I used this garbage for a little more than 2 months and my face looks like garbage. I had to go to this after the acne.org regimen stopped working for me (I recommend that more than THIS) It only gave me great clear skin for the first week but then everything went downhill. They say stop using it and your face breaks out worse but I just stopped using it and my face got better, so yeah, never going back to that again..

Pros:

At first when i used proactiv, it made my skin all dry and peely. But after a couple of weeks all my pimples were gone ! It works! Ive tried everything and this is the only product that works :D

Cons:

The first few weeks proactiv made my all my pimples come out and they were all pussy it was also quite expensive

I would recommend this to those suffering from very severe acne. It works for me so it could work for you ! Not to be corny or anything! But it really did change my life.

Pros:

I'm 36 and still have problem skin, i was really suprised at how quickly using this cleared up my pimples. i was really sceptical at first but my skin is 100% better even after just a few weeks.
the best bit is that my pores are smaller and cleaner

Cons:

At first it seems overpriced but when i compare it to my other products, cleanser, moisturiser, spot cream etc, it doesnt seem so bad.
i wish the toner was in a larger container. the cotton balls soak most of it up and not much goes onto my face.

Im getting married in two months and really want clear skin, for now im happy to pay the price. It does smell but not badly, it smells like any another spot cream that contains benzoyl peroxide. botton line is im really happy with the product and would recommend it to anyone to have a go.

Pros:

cleared my acne for about a year. completely cleared all my blackheads

Cons:

the lotion is not a hydrating lotion and will dry out your skin if you use too much... it makes your skin very sensitive to the sun

i used it for almost 2 years but then i stopped using it for about a month and once i started using it again it made my skin worse by making my skin peel, and caused more acne. i noticed that all the results were different on my friends that used it so i guess it depends on what kind of skin you have

Pros:

Worked really well for both my kids. It cleared up their face acne and body problems

Cons:

Dont order online. Its not worth it. Order from a kiosk because you get it when you need it. No club joining involved.

It works and my whole family and friends all use. You have to be consistent with it and then you will see results.

Pros:

Makes your skin feel really soft. Works well if you use it religiously and as instructed. Refining Mask and Exfoliant drastically minimized pore size.

Cons:

Can't skip on your routine. The Refining Mask can smell bad, especially when you use it along with the Toner. Takes a while to complete the cleansing process, having 3 steps (not including shaving; all the rinsing you must do!)

Genetics have proven to cause many skin related issues in my family. I can always find a handful of pimples on my face on any given day, no matter how many times I wash it or what products I use. I recently started using proactive because it is my last resort. I have tried many products and nothing cleared up my face well enough. Proactiv will do a pretty good job of clearing you up, if you can stick to the strict routine. I recently skipped a wash or two and I have 8 very noticeable pimples dotting my face. It's very frustrating...At the same time, however, when you use it correctly, the results are great. I have had days where I can't believe how amazing my skin looks. Ordering online sucks, because they charge your account every month (sometimes unexpectly) which seems rude and inconvenient for many people. I had to call and reschedule my shipping times because I do not use an extreme amount of the product, and don't want useless bottles of it lying around.

Pros:

Takes away like all acne, doesnt dry out skin

Cons:

makes your face red so dont use in the morning, need to use consistantly, the price is awful, takes like a week to see results

the price is outrageous but it works very well if you use it consistently, dont skip days while using it may cause you to breakout

Pros:

It worked great for about 2 years for me. Quit for about 6 months and am now using it again to clear a bad breakout. My face already has that smooth feeling that I missed when not using it.

Cons:

My face got very dry and irritated when I used it twice a day. Changing my routine to once a day worked much better but unfortunately it didn't last. My face became more sensitive and my breakouts took longer to heal so I stopped using it.

It does work if used routinely. In fact, I'm back using it right now after a terrible breakout from using an oral medication called Minocycline (which really didn't work for me). Now after not using Proactiv for 6 months I'm going to try it again to clear things back up. Hope it works... again!

Pros:

Makes your skin feel smooth and light(if you use it right, not just blob as much on as you think you need). Redness dies down almost instantly after use. Appearance of skin looks smoother and balanced after use.

Cons:

Takes awhile for it to finally get rid of all your breakouts. If you stop using it, your skin breaksout alot, but then eventually goes away.

I've had Proactiv for about 2 years, I stopped using it because it took too long to make my breakouts dissapear completely. I finally started using it again and i'm going to let it do it's magic. Even if it takes awhile. I know my skin will eventually clear up if i consistently use it. I love the way it makes my skin feel. Your skin will feel tight if you use too much of it. Like steps 2 & 3. ( only use a moderate amount of step 2 and a very light amount of step 3 or your skin will feel extremely tight) OVERALL I love Proactiv, and can't wait for the results.
