Pros:

Clears up acne

Cons:

Dries skin

Very good products.I had a lot of painful pimples around my jawline and on my chin and now they're drying out. My my skin texture is overall bumpy but now its smoother. The blackheads on my nose are making their way out. I love the cleanser, love the toner, but be careful with the repairing lotion. Make sure to only apply it thinly to the affected areas. I put it all over my face but put too much under my chin and got raw and red. Its better after a couple days of moisturizer.

Pros:

It cleared all of my acne and blemishes and kept it away!

Cons:

The company continued to charge my credit card without sending me the product for two months.

I would definately reccomend trying this product, but be sure to stay on top of your bills and what they charge you!

Pros:

Smoothens skin, reduces acne, smells nice, it's awesome so far.

Cons:

Costs a ton. They don't really give you much for the price, but I'm desperate for a cure so I will pay anything. As long as it works!

I've been using it for about three days now and I already see a small difference. You have to be consistent with it you guys, otherwise it won't work. I am desperate to find a cure and it seems as if this is the cure. It's very professional. It makes you feel fresh and squeeky clean.

Pros:

It really cleared up my skin right away when I first starting using the products and have only had problems when I skip a couple days. I've been using this product for over 9 years.

Cons:

The cleanser runs out before everything else and I have to buy extra bottles of it (it comes in a 3 pack on the website or at the mall).

It works great for me. It's a little expensive, especially since I buy extra bottles of cleanser every six months or so, but I figure it is worth it if it keeps my skin clear. Make sure you use the oil free moisture to keep your skin from drying out. Again, I've been using Proactiv for over 9 years, so something must be working, but try it for yourself.

Pros:

It has cleared my acne and is'nt as expensive as people say

Cons:

the process to apply takes too long

This is a very good product it does take too long to apply and if you stop using it your acne comes back. But it sates that it is NOT A CURE FOR ACNE so i did expect that.

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.

Pros:

start seeing results immediately

Cons:

pimples come back after you stop using it.
dries out your skin

if you have painful acne and you just dread the thought of looking at yourself in the mirror, proactiv is a lifesaver. in only three days of using it, people were commenting on how much my skin has cleared up, and my family members who have used proactiv in the past, immediately knew what i was using. trust me, if you want clear, beautiful skin, use proactiv. you won't regret it. as for the dry skin, after the first two weeks, it starts to go away. i'm so pleased with this product, i want to share it with everybody !

Pros:

This product works. It makes your acne worse for the first two weeks, but then you'll see major improvement. Most people don't use it consistently but if you do it should work.

Cons:

It is expensive and the three step system has teeny weeny bottles that last about a month and a half.

You should buy this if other stuff hasn't worked. My dermatologist prescribed EVERYTHING: retin a, differin, atralin, benzaclin, and pretty much all the meds. Strangely, Proactiv has shown better improvement. Every three months at my visit she would prescribe a different medication, each about 50 to 100 dollars each, I was using 3 products at a time. It was just too much money for something that wasn't working. IT would keep my acne mild, but never clear it. So proactiv has worked way better!
