Pros:

I love it. I have very mild acne, usually appearing as small bumps on my forehead. My skin is now very clear and I have no break outs. My overall skin looks much more even and healthy.

Cons:

When I first began using it twice a day I noticed some skin irritation. I then reduced the use to once a day and my skin cleared immediately.

Great product!

Pros:

It works very well.

Cons:

The cost is way too much. The toner seems to irritate the skin more. When you first order you automatically are set up to recieve this expensive product more than you would like. It also stains your sheets, if they are anything but white.

I love Proactiv! I just have problem skin, evene though I'm 24 years old. I scrape up the money to buy it because it is so expensive. I think it is worth it though, because it makes my skin appear radiant and clear. I'm not just saying this either! I only use the cleanser, repairing lotion, and the mask. I would recommend this to those who have oliy, problem skin.

Pros:

AMAZING

Cons:

Nothing bad about it. It doesn't have the greatest scent though.

If you really want to clear your skin, use it! I've tried Murad, Clean and CLear and everything! You will def. feel and see a difference!

Pros:

I have ordered proactive and received the wrong order, when this happens I call, they send me the right order plus an extra refining mask, all for free!!! Who else does that

Cons:

NONE! There's nothing to lose, if it doesn't work, send it back and get your money back.

This stuff works, I had to order the extra strength and it seems to be working just like the commercial says it does. They have GREAT customer service and are always willing to work out whatever problems you are having with the product.

Pros:

This product produces results. When used consistently it provides clear, clean, softer and moisturized facial skin without the need for medical intervention. I have recommended to several friends and they have all been successful also. Get from QVC.

Cons:

Can be irritating if over used for individual skin types. Can cause or leave white residue on skin when not used correctly. Travel pack only good for 3 days and too expensive for the size. Moisturzer isn't needed for combination/ oily skin types.

This works and has for everyone that I know has tried it. We all agree if not used consistently your experiences will be different as far as its effectiveness. I had to take time to figure out my usage frequency to prevent the irritation to sensitive facial skin. I only can use the 3 steps, once a day otherwise, I too break out with tiny red pimples that nothing can correct. Take a chance to try it and work with it to find out if you are doing the step in the right order and if it can work for you. You did not get less than beautiful skin, blemished, scarred and pimpled overnight. Be realistic in allowing for something to help correct the damage that had a lot longer time to take root and be consistent towards the effort. I will continue to recommend this product to anyone I know can use assistance in finding a solution for the facial skin care and look they desire. I am glad I took a leap of faith and tried it and I am sure you will be as well.

i cant live without PROACTIV now. i am 39 yrs old and i suffered from a real bad case of acne for 20 years. i started using PROACTIV in oct 2005 and now my skin is almost clear. no more bumps that i have to deal with. just some red marks which is fading day by day. i only use PROACTIV at nite and it seems to work for me. i swear by this product. u do have to give it time. at least a good 6 weeks. i dont have to cover my face with makeup anymore and if i do, i use only minimal amount. my pores have shrunk and my skin has the glow now.

Proactiv worked well for me!

Pros:

Does what it says
Kills acne

Cons:

Drys skin at first
Will cause breakout when you first start using it.

First I will like to say when you first start using this product it will dry and break you out and cause some drying. But once your skins get use to it proactiv does what it says as far as clearly your skin and keeping bothersome acne away. I first used proactiv in middle school and high school around the age of 15 I had terrible acne then. I am 32 years old today and still use this product and I am completely acne free!!

Pros:

Works for my skin
No more breakouts
Monthly delivery

Cons:

Dries skin out

Works for my skin, I haven't had a bad breakout since I started using it. I just wish that I had tried it years ago. It has given me confidence back again. My recommendations is to try it once regardless of negative reviews because it works for me, I will continue using it for life. The only issue I have been with it is it dries out my skin so I need to use moisturizer regularly but it beats having acne!!
