Pros:

Is a complete system
Smells Decent (Except the sulfur mask...eww)

Cons:

Expensive
Drying in certain areas of my face (Chin and around the eyes and eyebrows)
Did Not work for me

Maybe this works for some people...I don't know. I have used this for 3 months now. I see no improvement. My skin has the same problems it had before (red acne bumps, large pores, occasional cystic acne). I have spent over $100 on 2 systems (one system lasts about 2 months). I'm tired of using this and not seeing results. I'm still extremely self-conscious of my acne. And I'm disappointed that what I thought would be my miracle did nothing (and I wasted a lot of money on trying it).

Pros:

-My face has never felt so soft and smooth!!
-Cleared up my acne within a few days
-Inexpensive (you can buy small and large bottles separately for very little $ at a kiosk in the mall)

Cons:

Made my face a little dry

While Proactiv made my face a little dry, using a good quality moisturizer (I like Clinique) made it soft and non-flaky! It worked really quickly and I've never had such smooth skin. Proactiv is the ONLY product I've ever used that actually made my pores appear smaller and cleared up my blackheads. LOVE this stuff!! Try it!!!

Pros:

PRACTICALLY NOTHING;AT LEAST COULD GET $$ BACK

Cons:

EVERYTHING! PRODUCT, PRICE, CUSTOMER SERVICE

THIS IS SECOND TIME I TRIED PRODUCT, THINKING IT WAS ME.....BUT NO IT WASN'T. PRODUCT TOO STRONG FOR MY SKIN, CAUSED MORE OF AN RXN THAN THE ACNE ITSELF. WENT BACK TO HOLISTIC MEASURES!

Pros:

At first when i used proactiv, it made my skin all dry and peely. But after a couple of weeks all my pimples were gone ! It works! Ive tried everything and this is the only product that works :D

Cons:

The first few weeks proactiv made my all my pimples come out and they were all pussy it was also quite expensive

I would recommend this to those suffering from very severe acne. It works for me so it could work for you ! Not to be corny or anything! But it really did change my life.

Pros:

It worked wonders on my skin for a month, refining mask makes my face feel clean

Cons:

Stop working and starting getting more breakouts

Don't buy it, maybe buy it if you have one or two breakouts but if you have more then light acne don't use it.

Pros:

it works in the first one or two weeks. refining mask works.

Cons:

makes ur skin very dry, skins peel and flaky, if it does not suit ur skin more acne will break out.

use it for a week if it helps stop using it. i have been using for more than a month and my breakout has increased.. Dont continue it after it breakout increases. night time is the best as i use it a night,, and limited amount. better use a different exfoliating facewash.

Pros:

The scrubbers exfoliate your skin well, the toner makes your face feel clean and refreshed

Cons:

Bleaches towels, the "club" sucks and continues to bill you, stopped working after awhile

I have used proactiv on and off for about 5 years. It worked really well at first then I shopped around looking for a cheaper alternative. I started reusing it again about 6 months and my face keeps going in these cycles of being clear and then breaking out again.

Pros:

cleared my acne for about a year. completely cleared all my blackheads

Cons:

the lotion is not a hydrating lotion and will dry out your skin if you use too much... it makes your skin very sensitive to the sun

i used it for almost 2 years but then i stopped using it for about a month and once i started using it again it made my skin worse by making my skin peel, and caused more acne. i noticed that all the results were different on my friends that used it so i guess it depends on what kind of skin you have

Pros:

Proactive overall is a good product. It did absolutly nothing the first week, but by the second week, my acne had improved greatly, and I only had minimal blemishes.

Cons:

Do not stop useing!!! If you become inconsistent, you break out terribly. I stoped for one week, and I got HUGE blemishes on my chin and fore head.

Its a good product, but pricey. And once you start, you Really can't stop.
