Pros:

leaves your skin feeling refreshed and soft.

Cons:

face will severly breakout when you stop using it. dries face out and the smell is terrible.

my face was not bad to begin with. just a few blemishes here and there. after using this product my face was so much worse. it has been about 6 months and my face has improved no thanks to proactive. i would NOT recomend this to anyone because of the painful long-term effects on your skin.

Pros:

It's easy to use, you can use it anytime you like.

Cons:

Dries face, burns, makes acne worse, too expensive, customer service sucks. Doesn't work within 2 months like advertised.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless your skin isn't really bad with acne, maybe a pimple here & there. It will make your face worse & if you stop using it, it makes it ten times worse. I won't be buying this product again. In fact I'm going to the dermatologist instead.

Pros:

This product works really well. The toner refreshes and leaves your skin feeling clean and soft, and the repairing lotion didn't dry out my skin and I saw results the very next day after use.

Cons:

The renewing cleanser smells bad.

I have ordered proactive for years now. I don't use this product consistently; only when I need to. This is the product I always go to when I have a breakout or a blemish. I put it on at night before I go to bed and the next morning I'm virtually free from whatever problem I had the day before.

Pros:

Clears up existing acne quickly

Cons:

Dries out skin. Acne comes back with a rage if you stop using for a day.
Makes skin red and scars more noticable.

I hate this, It use to work for me when i was about 12, although i never had a acne problem back then. Now i guess it has no effect.

Pros:

none

Cons:

made skin worse the more I used it.

My skin was worse afterwards. I never received my refund, I had to pay for the bottles they kept sending me, before it went to collections, and they questioned me and said I didn't use it right! I waited years to try it, and have never been so dissapointed!

Pros:

The benzoyl peroxide used in this product is somewhat effective.

Cons:

did not work any better than any other benzoyl peroxide product and didn't have enough of the solution to last until the next shipment.

this product is no different than the products available at the stores, waste of money

Pros:

Works better than other acne products I've tried

Cons:

I still get breakouts and sometimes large pimples

I have really oily acne prone skin. I've been using it for years and noticed and improvement in the amount of breakouts that I have. I still get breakouts but not as bad or as much as before. I can't say it's the best product out there but it's what I use until I find better. For those of you who are having such a severe reaction, are you possibly allergic to BP? I know people who are and they can't use this product.

Pros:

Got rid of most of my pimples within a week, kept my face consistently clear.

Cons:

Around my period I broke out with a few large, red pimples that took over a week to reduce in size.

I had minor acne when I started this product about 2 1/2 years ago. Within a week, my face began to clear up and I definitely noticed an improvement. However, I would normally get one or two large, annoying red pimples around my period that would take a long time to clear. After about a year, my face began to dry out, and began to flake, but I continued using it, scared to get off because of what I heard about stopping. At the beginning of the year (a few monthes ago), I stopped using this and began using Biore. However, I have broken out worse than I ever have and could have imagined after stopping. I have acne on my forehead, cheeks, chin and jawline - worse than before I even began using it. I'm afraid to start using proactiv again, but it may be my only way to clear up my acne.
