Pros:

Absolutley fabolous

Cons:

Can be a little drying but with the green tea moisturizer it is quickly resolved

Love it!! I've seen other comments and well not everyone is going to agree with each other. Most people don't like it because they are using it incorrectly. Dime size amounts twice a day is how it is suppose to be used. Many people over use leading to dryness or irritation. Best advice is you don't know til you try it.

Pros:

Gets rid of major blemishes and reduces redness

Everyone always says proactiv is so bad it never works but it works for me. I bought it a week ago and my major bumps are gone I still have a flew blemishes but there's no redness and it leaves my skin feeling clean. The reaso proactiv doesn't work for some people is all dependent on what kind of skin you have. I have normal skin and I think it works for oily skin but if you have dry skin I don't recommend using it. And buy the refining mask and I Spread a thin layer of it all over my chin and my forehead and I Leave it overnight and my skin isn't dry in the morning.

Pros:

-My face has never felt so soft and smooth!!
-Cleared up my acne within a few days
-Inexpensive (you can buy small and large bottles separately for very little $ at a kiosk in the mall)

Cons:

Made my face a little dry

While Proactiv made my face a little dry, using a good quality moisturizer (I like Clinique) made it soft and non-flaky! It worked really quickly and I've never had such smooth skin. Proactiv is the ONLY product I've ever used that actually made my pores appear smaller and cleared up my blackheads. LOVE this stuff!! Try it!!!

Pros:

This product works really well with my skin I noticed my skin clearing up after the first 3 days!!! Plus I had acne deep under the skin like bumps now they have come up and are starting to go away. Ilove this product and it really works very well.=)

Cons:

I have not seen any significant cons as of now but it is a little time consuming to put on but if you allready wash your face this will not be a problem for you.

The Bottom Line with this product is that it really works. I have heard some stories from other people that it doesnt but i guess you have to be a certain skin type for this product. I would suggest trying this product if your fed up with other products that dont work like the neutrogena copy of proactive. I am eager to see my skin completly clear up from this product and im sure that it will hapen with the success that I have allready had with it. Hope this is helpful to you.

Pros:

clears up your skin fast!

Cons:

tingles/burns for a little after you put on the repairing lotion.

i have mild/moderate acne. recently my problem area has been around my mouth. i've done laser, microdermabrasion, oral prescriptions, retin a, weekly facials and lastly i was using aczone which my derm swore by. i used it for 2 months with no impressive results. finally i just decided to try Proactive because I really have nothing to use. Everything was so much more expensive in comparison. After two days it made a remarkable difference I was completely shocked. Besides one blemish my skin is all clear. Everyone is different but if you are as frustrated as I was it would definitely be worth a try!

Pros:

Got rid of my acne!

Cons:

Expensive

I love this stuff, I started using it in October 2008 and it took about a month to get full results. At this point I have had pretty much clear skin, may get a pimple or so when I am on my period but that is all! I don't use all of the steps of the system consistently. I use the cleanser twice a day and the other steps I do either once or twice a week. I think the cleanser is the best part of it.. As for moisturizer, I don't use the proactiv one any more, waaay too expensive. I go between a neutrogena oil free or the estee lauder day wear <<my fave.

Cons:

Can seem a little costly and I used to get my parents to pay for it before I got a full time job.

Works really well, having tried everything from accutane to toothpaste to over the counter solutions, I have never found anything as consistent and effective as this. I have really bad acne and still get some blemishes, but nothing like what I used to get. Has given me the confidence of the world.

Pros:

This product works very fast. Within a couple of days of using it my skin looked better. Not only did it erase my acne but parts of my face that didn't have acne looked fresher and better.

Cons:

May cause redness, as with most products. Just use moisturizer. Somewhat expensive.

I love this product. It works really well.
