i have somewhat sensitive skin and i use the gentle form of proactiv. it still uses salaylic acid but instead of having benzoyl peroxide in the formula there is tea tree oil and natural skin soothers like aloe. i still find i have mild acne after using it but think i'll have to deal with acne until i grow out of it. however, i have been dealing with acne all my teen years and have tried many products (including the generic form of proactiv) but the proactiv GENTLE formula has worked the best. i recommend this produce for someone who has sensitive skin along with moderate acne.

Pros:

It clears up your skin... at first

Cons:

Left my skin irritated, red, blotchy, and dry. I have extremely oily skin, and I thought this would work.

It works miracles for some... and is a disaster for most. Don't believe the hype, and it's really expensive and not worth it. Stick to Neutrogena and Biore!

Pros:

It works very well.

Cons:

The cost is way too much. The toner seems to irritate the skin more. When you first order you automatically are set up to recieve this expensive product more than you would like. It also stains your sheets, if they are anything but white.

I love Proactiv! I just have problem skin, evene though I'm 24 years old. I scrape up the money to buy it because it is so expensive. I think it is worth it though, because it makes my skin appear radiant and clear. I'm not just saying this either! I only use the cleanser, repairing lotion, and the mask. I would recommend this to those who have oliy, problem skin.

Pros:

AMAZING

Cons:

Nothing bad about it. It doesn't have the greatest scent though.

If you really want to clear your skin, use it! I've tried Murad, Clean and CLear and everything! You will def. feel and see a difference!

Pros:

Cleanser wasn't half bad.

Cons:

Dried out skin horribly, turned my face a bright red, just really irritating. Didn't clear me up at all.

I decided to go ahead and give it a try since it was so advertised I was like "Oh what the heck?". I have to say, it had been the most horrible thing I have ever tried. It made my face itch horribly, turned my face red all over and didn't do anything for my acne. I don't even have my acne that bad, and it was still horrible for my skin.

Pros:

I started using proactiv last year for about 3 months and then I stopped using it for like 5 months. I recently started using it again. It works but only if I use the repairing lotion with it.

Cons:

The repairing lotion leaves my skin dry and the next day my face is red.

I guess it works for some people so if you have acne you should at least give it a try.

Pros:

after the first week or so my pores appeared to be smaller

Cons:

My skin was in terrible condition after using this product for 1 month. I suffered from the worst acne I have ever had and scarring, which I have never had before. This product is horrible.

Do not use this product. I started using this before my wedding to clear up a few pimples. The result was terrible cystic acne, dryness, scarring, and redness, not to mention the pain from the acne. This is by far the worst product I have ever used.
