Pros:

It helped clear my acne but I still have scars left over by acne (there's a product they have for hyperpigment which, I'm going to try later).

Cons:

It dries out your skin and may cause peeling.
I minimized my use. I used it at night only. Now it does not dry my skin at all.
(Moisturize well)

Give it a try.

Pros:

The cleanser is somewhat refreshing, and the toner gives you the the feeling that your face is healthy, and clean. And it temporarly stops the irritating feeling pimples sometimes get ( and sometimes relieves puffiness and redness)

Cons:

The cleanser smells unique (not in a good way). And the toner stings, and itchs like crazy, and to top it off the lotion drys your skin out massivly, and sometimes your face gets really, really flakey (I'm not kidding)

When I got this in the mail, I was so excited. A new cleanser, a new toner, and a new lotion. The same day it arrived I tried it for the first time. The cleanser was refreshing, but the feel of my skin felt somewhat uneven, and sometimes even rough. I then applied the cleanser, and had an instant dryness feel. My skin felt like it was going to tear, or fall off. Next I applied the lotion, it didn't help. It felt cakey, and just increased the dryness. Being reasonable I figured my skin was getting used to it. Fast forward to two weeks, my skin was flaking,and had ashy lines, and skin flakes falling off. Then I ran into my bathroom, put the set back in it's box, and through it away. What's the point of this story, STAY AWAY FROM PROACTIV, IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE, AND YOUR SKIN.

Pros:

There is improvement.

Cons:

Extremely irritating, stops working after a while, and kind of a pain to apply all three steps.

I used this product for several months before finally giving up. My moderate acne cleared some but no where near completely, and it just wasn't worth all the irritation. My skin burned terribly, got red, got dry, ect. It bascially just hurt.

Pros:

Let me think - oh, right. It helps my skin. Duur -_-U

Cons:

I don't use all of the products, but I share with my sister so it's all fine.

I do break out at times due to hormones (my monthly) and excessive stress, but they're very minor. As long as I don't look like I did in grade 8, I'm happy.

It works for me. Not everyone's skin is suitable for the same products, but I have to shuffle between ones because my skin becomes immune to stuff after a couple months. **RANT BELOW** - And I'm not sugarcoating it. Oh. My. GOD. How many people do NOT know tat this is for people with /actual/ acne - not just a couple of pimples on your forehead, but acne!?!? If you try it with little to no acne you're not gonna get many places, it won't be worth the price. And to WATCHOUT!, it does say that the product acts a bleach on fabrics. Dunno how you missed that one -_-U

Pros:

It tightened my pores and smoothed out my skin.

Cons:

It made my skin more oily, thus causing me to break out even more. I never had bad acne but this product made me have consistant break outs. Luckily I saved my receipts!

Pros:

Nothing, I don't even like the smell.

Cons:

It made my skin itchy, dried it right out, and i broke out more.

Proavtic is glorified. They make it out to be so much more then it is. When in reality it is just junk.
