Pros:

Cleared up my smaller bumps on my face and minimized the red acne I had and red splotches on my face.

Cons:

Dried up my skin really badly around my eyes and mouth.

Proactiv works better for some people rather than others, and can really dry up your skin.

Pros:

not too expensive, not too harsh, always has worked for me

Cons:

occasional random pimples (probably from stress)
some random dryness, but it's very tolerable for the clear skin i have.

After severe acne and two rounds of Accutane, I gave proactiv a shot. I have never tried Murad or the knock off brands of Proactiv, but I love this product. It has kept my face from being oily and has kept my skin clear. I use it every other day in conjunction with my Purpose bar soap.

Pros:

makes your face feel more clean than it was

Cons:

after a while it stops giving results even if you do the steps consistantly,also makes your skin feel cold and oily after a while,so i have to dab my face down with paper towels

works for a while if you stick to it and dont mix the steps up

Pros:

Proactiv clears up my skin a little bit and makes my skin smooth within a week of use.

Cons:

You have to use it a couple times for your skin to get use to it I tred it for the first week only once a night.Try it that way too!

You have to be consistent! It dries out your skin so getting help from any moisturizer is helpful. i also see a dermatologist she gave me some pills (monocycline).It's good to talk to your doctor before starting any product he/she may give you a medication to work well with you proativ solution.GOOD LUCK!!

Pros:

proactive offered a "extra strength kit" that works fine. agents on the phone know what there doing (good customer service), you can order anything you want in there catalog for ur next shipment and the price will stay the same as long as its 3 thing

Cons:

skin did become emune to reg formula. i guess kits are sent out every in 2mnth supplys at 39.90 + 5.99 s&h but if you divide that in half thats still 19.95 a mnth + S&H i just wish they told me they we going to do that.

worked for the first six months, my skin kinda became emune to it. was very angry called proactive they refunded the money for the last kit and then sent me a free extra strength kit which worked fine, now that's what i use.
