Pros:

Very effective. Works quickly. Feels clean and fresh. LOVE.

Cons:

Rather expensive. It's worth it though.

I have been using this for 4 days and my skin is completely cleared. I even was feeling a pimple starting to come up, and I think it stopped it. It's a miracle. I've tried Epiduo, Tretinoin, and Tazorac. Nothing was working. Those are all dermatologist prescribed medications. I spent a lot of money in dermatologist visits, and she wasn't helping me. I was ready to give up- And then I bought Proactive Thank you sooo much Proactiv and thank you Drs. Rodan and Fields!!! I highly recommend this to everyone.

Pros:

Easy to use, clears up the odd uncomplicated blemish.

Cons:

Expensive, really drying and I never ended up getting sent half of what I ordered.

If you have acne that's just consistently annoying, but not to an extreme level, then maybe this is the right product for you. However, if you suffer from acne that varies drastically due to your period/hormones etc, I wouldn't recommend this. Definately is no miracle cure. Plus, if, like most females- you like to wear (even light, oil free) makeup to even out your skin tone and stop shininess, proactiv is a bad choice. I found out the hard way that proactiv makes your skin peel severely under makeup, even after using a bucket load of oil free moisturiser to try and combat this. Don't buy into the hype.

Pros:

This product feels great on my skin. works great.

Cons:

Too many steps.

I've been using this product for about three to four days, and it seems to be working. I wake up every morning with less ace then the day before. I have yet to see anything wrong with the product, besides the fact that it a four step system. Overall, It seems to be working on me. It could also be because i haven't used this product enough to have any negative things to say about it.

Pros:

It seemed to work really good the first month of using it, I had been breaking out a lot and it really took care of it.

Cons:

The longer I had been on it, I noticed that I was still having problems in the same areas. It definitely does NOT cure acne. When I get a few pimples, it does not make them go away faster. It makes my skin feel oily.

It is nice to try if you are having an acne problem that you want to clear up quickly but it seems like the longer you are on it the less it works. I would recommend trying the $19.95 trial and then cancel your membership. I believe that it may work better for some people than others and you never know until you try it.

Pros:

The mask wrks great!

Cons:

Only works at the beginning. The cleaner is alright the rest doesn't work.

Just get the cleaner then take vitamin B5(about 10 a day) n ur skin will clear up in a week!!!! I've been suffering with acne since highschool n I finally figured it out u need to take care of the problem from the inside out. Take the vitamins n wash your face with an acne cleaner just in case

Pros:

Makes skin clean, I suppose. My skin glows-despite acne.
The refining mask is the best out of all the steps.

Cons:

The cleanser can be very irritating to the skin. It also made my skin become dry, and flaky (I had to moisturize a lot). The scent can be a lot to get used to. Expensive, I payed $60 for one kit!

The 3 steps are good, but not great. It has reduced some of my acne. The cleanser is quite harsh to the skin, so don't use too much of it, especially when first starting. I like using the toner after a shower; it makes my skin clean and refreshed. The repairing lotion is great. It uses benzoyl peroxide and i find it to be the best out of the 3 steps. There's not much in that bottle, though. As for the refining mask, I like it. It is alright as a spot treatment and I will continue to use it, although I am gradually slowing down using the system. I find proactiv to be too drying to my skin...it takes lots of moisturizer to get rid of the flakiness. Too expensive and difficult to get. Don't get sucked in just because celebrities use it and its on TV. I wouldn't recommend it, although you may want to give it a try, to see for yourself. Just remember-it's drying, expensive, hard to get, and you may not like how there are lots of steps.

Pros:

Ends acne

Cons:

Small expensive portions

Best product I've ever used. I'm a 25 y.o. female who used to have severe large pimples on my chin. It was hideous. I've used stuff from department stores, the clean and clear line, Differin gel, benzoyl peroxide in all percentages - the list goes on and on. I finally forked over $75 to some girl at a kiosk in the mall and bought Proactiv. The change in the first 2 days was visible. I saw results right away. I had a little dryness on my face, but I used Clinique oil free moisture and it went away. When followed correctly by completing all steps twice a day, my acne really did disappear. I have no plan on buying any other product or spending more on prescription topicals. You should try it because they offer a money back guarantee.

Pros:

-smells nice
-cleanser leaves skin smooth
-additional mask works well

Cons:

-while the mask works, it dried my skin
-it improved my skin, but never fully healed it
-my acne was bad on my chin, and then just moved to being bad by my nose

Overall, it merely 'improved' my skin. I used it for almost a year and bought the kit twice, and each time nothing was completely solved. It seemed of of moved my blemishes from one part of my face to another.

Pros:

Have fewer zits now then when i started
reduced size of zits

Cons:

still breakout often
face is always red, frequently dry

I broke out really bad a few years ago, especially on my chin. I have used Proactiv for about 3 years now, mostly because I tried everything else and nothing worked. I do use it religiously twice a day. My acne is much less then it was, but I still have mild acne. I have the small bumps under the skin all over my chin (which Proactiv claims to get rid of); they used to be huge so I guess I can deal with them now. I wear makeup pretty much every day which could be a problem.
