Pros:

It did clear up my acne... at first.

Cons:

After the first few months, it's like I wasn't even using anything.

When I first started, it cleared up my acne and I felt like doing a Proactiv commercial to let everyone know how great it works. After over a year of using, I finally found something else. After about three months of using it, I noticed that I kept getting more and more pimples. Soon, I noticed that I had little underground zits all over my chin and nose. I freaked out because my skin never looked like that. I kept with it, thinking it would clear up and it just didn't change. My acne WAS light.. Now it's moderate. Thanks Proactiv. -It was 49.95 for every two months.

Pros:

Clears up acne for a while
Not fragranced
Works okay with sensitive skin

Cons:

Not really for severe acne, skin got used to it
Left with scars
Expensive for the quality

I've used the three step system for about two and a half years. It didn't make my somewhat sensitive skin red, dry, itchy, or peeling, so that is good. At first, it cleared up my bad acne, but I was left with bad scarring on my forehead and chin. Eventually the system stopped working and I continue to break out. My skin got used to it and it was doing nothing for me. It wasn't controlling the oil on my face either. I was satisfied with it at first, but I finally went to the doctor and got a prescription. So far, I've seen a difference using prescription benzamycin.

Pros:

It worked okay for about 3 days even though I used the product for almost 2 months.

Cons:

After trying many acne products, I figured I would try Proactiv. To my disapointment, the product made my acne worse. I got a couple more pimples and my face became extremely dry and red.

I would not suggest the product to anyone who is looking for a treatment to their acne. I was not impressed with the product and after almost 2 months of using it, I discontinued using it.
