Pros:

Feels great in the morning, delivers to you, and worked instantly

Cons:

Breakouts come back if you stop using for 1-2 days. It actually makes my skin oily, not dry.

I've been using for over a year and was mostly satisfied, but you really pay for it after missing a day or two.

Pros:

i didnt die from using it

Cons:

i used to have light acne. a pimple or two came around every few weeks. when i started using proactiv my life went down the drain. after the first use i woke up the next mornig with blisters around my lips and my left eye swollen shut. i continued to use it, thinking the results may have been from something i ate the night before or maybe allergies. i continued to use it for a few weeks to see if it worked since it seems to be some kind of "miracle product." wrong. the blisters around my mouth got worse and bigger. some popped and my mouth became scabbed and sore. the lotion bleached my eyebrows (which were black before). i have dark hair and HAD dark eyebrows but now i look like a clown. proactiv has ruined my life and it will yours too. dont try it!!!!!!!!

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:

-Feels great on skin
-Makes skin soft
-clearing most of my acne, great products

Cons:

-Burns, itchy feeling after putting on sometime
-sometimes more breakouts occur if over/under use

I have been using this product for about a month. I had moderate to sever acne and now it is mild to moderate. REALLY BIG DIFFERENCE!! a big part of my sucess is the spot treatment from neutrogena tho, called on the spot. Proactiv is working great for me and I will post another review WHEN it clears ALL of my acne

Pros:

-worked within a week or two

Cons:

-it worked but not for long
-inconsistent
-expensive as hell
-doesnt help much with super oily skin(like mine)

When I bought this product, it worked for only about 3-4 weeks. It cleared the acne(not the blemishes so much). But after that it stopped working for me and my acne eventually came back even thought I continued using it for another two months.

Pros:

I've started to use the repairing lotion as part of my routine with using cetaphyl cleanser and aveeno moisturizing lotion and it works well as a benzol peroxide treatment. When combined with the cleanser and the toner it really irritated my skin.

Cons:

I don't know why but this really didn't work for me. I went from having occasional pimples to full flown break outs. The cleanser irritates the skin especially if you scrub for 1-2 minutes as suggested. Just not a great product.

Made my skin worse. But the benzol peroxide works well when combined with other products.

Pros:

it makes ur skin soft

Cons:

causes scaring and often leaves red marks that can last up to 3 years. the red marks are almost guarenteed if you have more than moderate acne. only works on light acne
incredibly expensive

good for light acne, but severe acne ALWAYS gets more and more eritated. and i have like half my school is useing this so i know this to be fact. i recommend just getting acne soap and a 5% BP that you put derectly on the zit, and keep hair out of ur face thats how i got rid of mine. but proactiv doubled my acne in a matter of days

Pros:

-Works really well after a long time (several weeks)
-Pimples don't come back, and if they do, they fade within' a day or two

Cons:

-Used for more then a year: skin texture much uglier
-Leaved wrinkles i didn't have before (did not use sunscreen...photosensitivity?)
-Bleached around lip areas

Best product i've used so far but the long lasting side effects, including high use of parabens makes it seem just not worth it
