Ineffective
A year ago I tried this product and it seemed trust worthy , with all the commercials I seen and positive reviews . Well I would say I have mild acne , once I started to use the product I didn't even see a slight difference until months later . It wasn't anything that was life changing that made my skin look great but my skin cleared a little bit . About a month later I decided to stop using proactive because it did nothing to change my skin at all , once I did my acne started to get worse back to the way it used to be . And I would always use other face washes , and nothing seemed to help . So from using proactive I'd say since I stopped using it it made my skin worse than it already was .

Pros:

Well marketed product. May work for others. The mask worked pretty well. A full system was included. It's a skin kit

Cons:

Not a product that works in the long run. Endorsed by celebrities that don't use the product (Jessica Simpson was on accutane, not proactiv). Expensive.

It could work for you, But even if it does, you're better off buying something that's twice as effective and even cheaper than this stuff. Don't let the commercials and endorsements fool you!

Pros:

It may work for some people but not for me.

Cons:

Everything about this product stinks.
It has fragrance
Irritating
Strips your skin/ages it fast/damages and ruins skin
Swelling
Itchiness
Redness
Peeling
Low self confidence
Cant cover up makup good without it looking cakey

Proactive was harsh from the start. i used it for about 4 months.The fragrance irritated my skin. It made my eyes swell up even though i put it no where near my eyes. It made my face extremely itchy and red and it is very drying. Over all it is a horrible product that will age your skin fast and strip it from everything it needs like moisture, natural oils, protective barrier, etc. I would never use the proactive regimen again. I do like the refining mask though.

Pros:

-Didn't dry skin out
-No odor

Cons:

-If you stop your subscription, they send you a lot of annoying mail.
-Didn't improve my acne!

It didn't make my acne any worse, but it didn't make it any better either.

Pros:

cleared up my skin for the first few mths I used it.
stays clear if you use all the steps including the overnight mask

Cons:

the mask is not included in that expensive box they send you monthly!
Will dry the heck out of your face!
My skin got use to it so I had to by some cleaning pads to use after using the proactiv cleanser

It is not worth the money you spend! Will trick you because it is the best thing you have ever used at first. I had to switch brands because its insane for me to spend that much money on something that is just okay

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Horrible service and kept getting charged

I hate this product and the company. I tried canceling my product and I kept getting charged because the new guy didn't cancel it correctly. Also their buy online for $19.95 is a scam because they dont say that they will also charge you 3 more times. It's really $102. It's a joke! Don't buy from them cause they will just keep charging you.

Pros:

ONLY THE LOTIOON! BUT IS NOT A MIRACLE..it kind of help with breakout

Cons:

CLEANSER: WORST CLEANSER FOR ACNEE!it just rip off your skin natural oils!bad bad baaaad

i used proactiv for over 4 years, but ive never used the complete system together in a big while because i figure out it was too much for my sensitive and delicated skin,sometimes i used the cleanser (by the way is the worst cleanser ive used ,until 1 month ago i realized this was making my skin horrible , i stop using it got better)...the toner and lotion well is not that bad..now im using only the lotion i kinda like it but it hasnt completely clear my skin...if you are going to use the whole system ALWAYS USE MOSTURIZER !i wouldnt recommend this product maybe only the reparing lotion is the best thing from this system.

Pros:

-Smells good
-Clears acne for a short time

Cons:

-Only clears acne for a very short time
-Acne comes back even worse
-If you skip a day, acne flames and gets worse

Proactiv does work to clear acne but only for a short time. Then it just comes back even worse and is flaming red and that is very frustating. I have always really hated the process of it also. The first step of it has exfloiator beads which are so tiny you can barely feel them. The third step of this product left my skin burning after I had applied it. The chemicals seperate and burn your skin unless you shake it every few weeks. Listen people if you only want your acne cleared for a very shor time (like 2 monthts) then, yes, I recommened it but if you want your acne GONE FOR GOOD then DON'T use it.

Pros:

Makes some large pimples go away

Cons:

Makes my face oily
Leaves huges marks on my face
expensive

I've been using proactiv for about 2 months. At first things went pretty good, HOWEVER, after about 3 weeks of using it, I started getting huge pimples that i never had before using proactiv. I canot be certain that it's the medication that caused my big pimples but it seems more than just a coincidence. Proactiv cleared the big pimples up but it left huge red marks on my face which still didnt go away after a month (It's worse than having pimples). I don't suggest using proactiv
