Pros:

Works well and fast

Cons:

A little expensive for some

I work at Proactiv and I know for a fact (from experience and our guests) that the product works. You must use it consistently and as directed, most will have amazing results. If you have trouble with oil or dry skin, use a 4 or 5 pc kit. It takes more than a month to work. You should give it at least 2 FULL systems to see the appropriate results

Pros:

Seems to be clearing up my skin nicely

Cons:

Does dry out the sensitive under eye area but since I don't break out there I will just try to avoid washing those areas

My OGBYN took me off my birth control pills and my beautiful clear skin went crazy. I got terrible acne on my chin and forehead. I tried many drugstore products and nothing worked so I broke down and bought Proactive at a mall kiosk. My acne is slowly clearing up but I am experiencing a little dryness. I use my own moisturizer but I think I'm going to try the green tea one they recommend. I'm also going to stop using it in the areas of my face where I don't breakout. But, moisturizing is the most important thing for everyone to remember to do. Good luck to all!

Pros:

it worked well on me, i had a very severe acne problem but proactiv has been the only thing that cleared it up! i went to several different dermatologists and nothing has worked on me. they said it was something in my blood- this worked!

Cons:

it dried up my skin really bad the first couple times i used it- just do all the three steps - youll be okay- remember we are all different- about the peling off girl- even in beverly hills dermas with thousands of dollars -thats what they will do!

if you have a bad layer of skin- you need to get rid of it- this will

Pros:

clear and soft skin, no more acne

Cons:

don't use all 3 products on sensitive skin

I first used all 3 products to rid the acne (but it's too strong for sensitive skin). Now I just use the Repairing Lotion every day and underneath my makeup -- it works like a miracle! 4+ years now :)

Pros:

got rid of all my acne

Cons:

i used it for two months and my face was fine. i dont really care about the smell. but when i stopped using it my acne came back and im not doing so good now.

proactive, in my opinion is great. it works just fine. got rid of my acne, cleared up my face, and my skin felt great. even my friends told me i looked alot better. my acne isnt that bad, its just i hate having it. i stopped using it and now im breaking out more often and its a hassle. im going to get it again. just because i want my acne to go away. if its going to cost some extra money oh well. i cant stand acne.

Pros:

Reduced redness. Reduced blotchiness of skin tone. Makes skin soft and smooth. The sulpher mask really helps to clear up skin when first using Proactiv. It works incredibly well.

Cons:

The repairing lotion can make your skin a bit dry, however it is nothing that a daily moisturizer with SPF in it can't fix. Which everyone should be using daily anyway to protect from the harmful UV rays.

For those people who have minor acne that does not require you to go to the dermatologist, this product is not for you. This product is for SEVERE acne sufferers who have been to dermatologists and have used such prescribed lotions, pills, etc,.. like accutane, and still suffer from acne. Proper use of this product shows incredible results. A few comments have mentioned only using it at night or when they had a breakout. That isn't proper use of the product. It is a 2x daily cleaning regime. Always test products on your skin before use as many people have skin allergies...this is recommended by products of any kind. I've been using this product for years. I now use it 1x a day and use a Neutrogena cleanser to remove make-up in the evening, and my skin just glows. The 3-step products last me for about 6 months, so the $60 for the 3 components is worth it. You would spend about $15 on a regular cleanser, $15 on a toner, $20 acne cream, and $20 for a moisturizer anyway, so

Pros:

I've used this product for at least 10 or 11 years and I love it.

I use the program as directed and really see great results. It makes my skin look healthy, radiant and clear. I occassionally have a few breakouts, but it is due to hormonal changes, sweating too much at the gym or diet changes. Early on, I had to use the repairing lotion in the evening only, but that changed after awhile and I've experienced no problems with any of the products. I also use the refining mask about every 2 weeks and I do find it to really help in making my skin smoother than just using the 3 step program. I get my 3 step program on the auto ship and I change my program to be 2 toners and 1 cleanser or vice versa. I don't go through the repairing lotion as quickly as the other two. When I need the repairing lotion, I just go online and change the kit. So keep in mind, you can change the 3 step products to suit your needs. I also use the sheer transluscent pressed powder to carry in my purse and really like it too. I'm a firm believer in the proactiv system.
