Pros:

Works good, non drying, some immediate results, gentle for sensitive skin

Cons:

Takes a while to get full effect, can bleach towels.

Good product, makes your face look and feel good. Quick to use, easy automatic delivery. Get the extra stregth for worse acne, it puts salicylic acid in the mix too. (the toner) I used reguar for 6 months then switched and now with extra strength its even better. Extra strength doesn't smell very good though.

Pros:

it makes your face really smooth, and clears small pimples well

Cons:

it definitely doesnt work well on serious acne, and makes you dry if you dont moisturize well

i think it worth your money, and you should definitely take a shot at it

Pros:

Worked for awhile

Cons:

only worked for awhile. Dried my skin out

This product did not work for me. The girl who worked at the kiosk for it told me to give it about 3 packages and it would work, but i'm on my 3rd and i'm breaking out really bad.

Pros:

Good ad campaign.

Cons:

doesnt help that much

It doesnt make my skin worse like other people say it does to them, but it doesnt get rid of my acne completley. I have moderate acne but I think it only helps light acne

Pros:

It cleared my acne within the first two days. My skin looks much less oily than it used to be.

Cons:

It really dried out the skin around my nose, mouth and along my jaw line.

I haven't been using it for that long so I can't really say how good it is yet, but I do think that it's worth trying. I'm going to try the Green Tea Moisturizer to hopefully help with the dryness. I do think that it just takes time and persistence in order to make the product work. Nothing ever works right away, so give it a few weeks before you get rid of it altogether.

Pros:

Not one thing.

Cons:

My skin became painfully chapped, red, and callous, which I have never before or since experienced. And I had to pay a ridiculous amount in order for them to screw up my skin.

This product is a waste'it's not worth the packaging it's in. First, when ordering from them, they require you to auto-ship. The product is expensive to begin with, and now you're automatically billed if you forget to cancel on time. After two days of using it, my skin turned bright red and was sensitive to the touch. I used it two times daily. Over the next couple of days, my skin became so raw and painfully dry'on top of it all, I still had acne! I tried to use it only once a day, but that was still one time too many. I ended up not finishing the bottle and had to smother my face in un-petroleum jelly in order to soothe the painful dryness! My skin looked wretched; I'd rather have acne than have my skin cracked and dry to the point where it's too painful to smile. My skin is not all that sensitive, yet this is what happened. The only thing that's worked for me is Blu by herb youth. I won't touch synthetic products anymore. All natural is the only way to go.

Pros:

proactiv seems to be great, but from what i've read here, it seems like it's not going to last very long..

Cons:

I've been using this product for about a week and a half, and my skin is getting very dry and sensitive.

I thought that getting the green tea moisturizer would help with all the dryness. if you heard or experienced that the green tea moisturizer was good / bad, i would appreciate it if you could please post a review...

Pros:

It worked at first. When I ordered the starter set, I was pleased with the results.

Cons:

When I got my second batch, it dried my skin out so bad that I got a rash. They then sent me the sensitive skin set, and pimples started coming back.

Near the end of my usage of Proactive, my acne started getting worse, like it wasn't even working. Now that I am off of it, I have the most horrible skin I have ever had. I am 28 years old, and you'd think I was 14. The pimples are large, under the skin, and on the jaw line, like I have read with many others. I would not recommend this, especially if you have sensitive skin.
