Pros:

It works pretty good. It takes about a month to clear things up a little and the second month clears things up a little more. It definitely keeps your acne under control(no morning breakouts or huge whiteheads).

Cons:

There was nothing bad about it. Except it made my face a little red but thats all.

I've used it for about 2 months and have seen pretty good results( and this was during football season). I definitely think now that football is over, I'll start seeing even better results.

Pros:

Works well the first couple of days...and then it really dries the face.

Cons:

Extremely dries the face to the point where you have to stop using it...wouldn't recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin.

It does not work for everyone. Don't switch to this product if the one you are using now is effective because even though it clears up mild acne, it really DRIES the skin, and moisturizer can't completely help with this problem.

Pros:

It smells nice!

Cons:

Worked great the first day or two, nothing noticably different, but I began having a severe burning and then drying within a few days after that! Extremely expensive stuff, do not agree with the price at all.

I think it works for some people. We all have different skin types so I suppose it varies. I have yet to see "Jessica" or "Vanessa" results, as they imply, but maybe I will soon enough. I would not reccommend to someone who has little income-you can find something that helps just as much over the counter at your local store.

Pros:

Marketing, commercial and packaging is good. You'll be tempted to buy and think it would work...but...

Cons:

it made my skin dry and red...it's not affordable...and really worsen my skin.

Expensive products doesn't mean they would work...try to read the ingredients and look for other local brand products with the same ingredients and try it first to see if that will work for you. Your skin type is not the same with anybody else. So look for acne treatment that best suits you...never give up...

leaves your skin feeling oily, the toner burns, i break out worse now than i did before starting it...

i wish i would have tried some other solution aside from proactiv because i think it's a waste of money.... lots of money.

Pros:

works very fast, did improve my skin a lot, smells ok, and makes your face clean and fresh

Cons:

it did dry out my skin a little

when i started using proactiv, it began to work and i became so excited, so excited that i was using WAY to much of the product and thats why my skin was so dry. My advice would be to use a tiny bit of the cleanser, toner, and moisterizer. A TINY BIT!!! then, after the three step system buy OLAY moisturizer...omg this has worked with the system so well1!! try it!!! you also should wear sun screen everytime you go outside. The proaciv mask also works wonders JUST REMEMBER---only a tiny bit! :)

Pros:

Seemed to work well, only used it every second or third day but after a month my skin was clear. . .even before my period.

Cons:

Rip-off price. At at a yard sale, a lady had some unused kits that she bought for the 39.99 a couple years back and I noticed the sizes were DOUBLE what they are now! The cleanser and toner were 8 oz. and the repairing lotion was 4 oz!

I cancelled my subscription after seeing their special deal of 19.99 was only because they cut their sizes in HALF! Proactiv is good but they are a scammy company!!!

Pros:

Works well. Smells good. Made my skin feel clean and moisturized. The refining mask with the sulfur base worked wonders for my skin.

Cons:

Kinda expensive.

I love Proactive. I wish that it was a little cheaper, BUT keep in mind if you use the small dosage that they reccommend, you will be able to make the bottles last over 3 months, I did. ALSO if you order the $19.99 deal off the infomercial, it will NOT work on acne prone skin. Its just for people with oily skin, who never really have breakouts.I found that out the hard way. YOU MUST order the combination therapy pack. It treats and prevents acne, as well as helps with the oilyness of the skin associated with acne. I wouldn't use anything else on my skin. I paid almost 70 bucks for the Combination Therapy Kit. It had the cleanser, Toner, Refining Mask, Oily skin treatment, acne cream, AND moisturizer.
