Pros:

it cleared up almost all of my blackheads and I haven't had a pimple in months

Cons:

I ran out once and it took me a while to go get some more..as SOON as I stopped using my blackheads came back and I got pimples which I had never really had before.

I love proactiv. I just wouldn't want to get caught without it. I never really had acne though...I just wanted perfect skin and proactiv did it for me. Seriously- my skin is baby-ass perfect.

Pros:

It worked well on my skin, making it less oily. It really helped with all my blackheads

Cons:

it doesn't come with a moisturizer and dries out some types of skin, so its a good idea to buy one.

It worked for me, but ive heard it doesn't work for other people. But me and my beast friend both swear by it.

Pros:

-Works at first. - I havent noticed any bleaching of my hair or fabrics.
-Doesnt smell TOO bad.- Easy to use.
-Monthly supply lasts a long time.

Cons:

-Works at first then stops.-Makes your skin DRY
-Burns sometimes.

Okay, here's the deal. It worked pretty well at first, but it got gradually less effective as i used it. it makes your skin SO dry and the toning stuff burns like crazy. Its really hard to stop using it though because even just two days of not using it, i broke out terribly. So... use it if you can keep it up, but NEVER quit for a few days...

Pros:

- works extremely well

Cons:

- EXPENSIVE!
- you CANNOT stop using this product or you will break out worse then before!

I used proactiv for years until I finally decided to stop shelling out 50 bucks every two months. I figured I was ok because my skin was clear for the most part. WELL I THOUGHT WRONG! I broke out with worse acne then I had ever had before and started breaking out in places I previously had never had acne problems. I tried medications and creams from my doctor and none of it worked, but finally broke down and went back on the proactiv and my skin cleared back up in a matter of weeks. I use the moisturizer as well because my skin gets really dry around my mouth. I haven't noticed that it has made me break out at all.

Pros:

Clears up occasional breakouts well

Cons:

Takes a good bit of time to use the entire system -- and it doesn't work well unless you do

I have occasional breakouts, particularly on my neck. Proactiv is one of the few products that works well for me, but the key is consistency and you HAVE to keep using it. If you stop or only use it occasionally, it doesn't work nearly as well. I've also noticed that if I stop using it and then start again, my skin will sometimes get worse for about a week before getting better.

Pros:

Gets rid of acne.

Cons:

Cannot stop using.

On one hand proactiv get rid of your acne and keeps it away but heaven forbid you forget to wash your face. Fall asleep in your makeup? Forget it! You'll have a full-out breakout the next morning! Don't have enough money to get a new supply? Use might as well wash your face with a vat of grease! Don't use this product! Its expensive and not strong enough to handle more than 24 hours.
