Pros:

Nice, easy daily regiment. Seems to be working.

Cons:

Reorder process. I do not like the fact that I have to sign up for automatic shipments to get a good price.

My tween daughter has acne. I never had acne so had no idea what to do. We tried all the soaps, etc. in the stores for oily, acne skin and finally tried Proactiv last month. I is working pretty well for her. Now it is time to reorder but I do not want to commit to getting the shipments automaticly. What's a Mom to do?

Pros:

Nothing good about this product.

Cons:

It didn't work, it is expensive, it dried out my skin, and the refining mask smells bad and the smell doesn't go away even after you wash it out.

This product sucks. The commercials lie...maybe it works for some people, but it doesn't for the majority of the people. This product dried out my skin and the Benzol Peroxide was harsh on my skin, even if I used it once a day. If it was less expensive, I still wouldn't give it a try again. In my opinion this entire product sucks and is a scam to cheat people out of their money. This product in addition to other products might help if they work well togeter, but Proactiv by itself really does not work.

Pros:

It stops acne from coming up

Cons:

it does nothing for the acne you already have
leaves a red rash on face

it isn't worth spending money on something that just stops acne from keep on comming but does nothing on all the acne you already have

Pros:

They always deliver on time. It worked great for the first week or so.

Cons:

I missed using it twice a day once and my face broke out something horrible.It started with these little bumps all over my face and turned into huge festering pimples (which i never had before hand). My face also started to burn and get dry

Buy the trial (it worked more than 30 days for me) and check it out for yourself. You might have better luck than I did. I spent way too much on this.

Pros:

smell, refining mask, reasonable price for 30-day kit which lasted well over 2 months

Cons:

only the refining mask made a difference, excessive dryness leading to peeling

I tried this product because I thought it would be the solution based on my friends' recommendations and of course the commercials. I was warned against buying the 30-day trial because it takes a while to kick in. The first few days of applying proactiv I noticed a difference in my skins texture, it was rougher looking which seemed promising. Soon that was replaced with peeling which was all the more cumbersome to put make-up over to cover the blemishes that were not diminishing! I did everything according to instruction except the first few weeks I forgot about the refining mask which turns out to be the only worthwhile piece of the kit! Apply it to a zit and sleep on it or wear it for 10 minutes like you're supposed to, my stubborn 3-month old blemishes did shrink! Oh, and the zits that did fade are still scars on my face. For now I've invested the trial line of Acne Solutions from Clinique and the post-blemish formula to go with that. Do trials to find out what work will for you!

Pros:

For me it started working the first day i used it. My sking was becoming to get clear within the 3 day.

Cons:

A slight burning sensation at first. Dries your sking.

Is an awesome product. I never had pimples until a few months ago, and when they came out it was really bad specially on my cheeks and my forehead. Once i started using proactiv, my skin became clearer since the first day i used it. Now i still get a few pimples from time to time but i just apply the refining mask and in a day or 2 gone =]

Pros:

cleared acne

Cons:

very dry face, some areas would be a little white due to dryness and i would have to over moisturize just to get rid of that. it smells disgusting!!!if i use the cleanser,facialmask then toner then lotion like it says in the book.omg burned my face!

try it out and see what it does for you, if you start it stick to it daily otherwise you don't get the true results. I've bought my second case of the three step i only do it because I've tried everything else even bought a box of acne free product it didn't do anything. this seems to due something for me. i cant stand even a little acne

Pros:

Good for the first few days

Cons:

It caused lumps, which now just wont clear.
Do not use it. I only had just a few pimples and wanted to get rid of them, but all i succeeded in doing was making my face terrible. Now even my makeup wont cover it.

Don't use it if you dont have really bad acne
