Pros:

I've been using Proactiv for one year now but my skin still is quite oily instead when most reviews said it makes their skin dry.However my worst-two-years-acne has been cured by this and I am totally happy with it!!

Cons:

Skin is still oily a bit

Not all people with acne will experience best result from this products coz different people got different skin condition.Some may get better results and some may get even worse! So I suggest why not the first timer users buy trial pack first rather than just invest the whole full package and see whether it will work for u or vice versa..

Pros:

Made my skin feel smooth and clean

Cons:

Expensive, some of the bottles run out before the others

I used it a few years ago and it cleared up my skin, then I stopped and my skin got bad again so I started using it again. You just have to be consistent with it. I've used everything from over the counter to doctor prescribed washes and this seems to work the best!

Pros:

Works really well for me. When I stop using it I break out. When I'm on it I don't except for the occasional pimple. I've been using it for a few years and it has consistently worked well for me.

Cons:

It will indeed bleach certain died fabrics like clothes and towels. That's true for any peroxide. It is annoying and requires care to avoid. Also somewhat expensive but in the end worth the result.

I left the US for a year and only brought the surplus of lotion I had with me. Used a store bought cleanser (though not peroxide based) and alcohol free toner along with the lotion and it did not work as well. Maybe it was due in part to being in a different country with different environmental factors but now that I'm back in the US and back on the system it seems to be working again. Again I've been using it for years and am fairly convinced it uniquely works for me. HATE the way it bleaches some clothes and towels though. Have to be really careful.

I started using proactiv and within the first few weeks it worked, but soon my skin just got dry and my acne got worse. And it's a huge waste of your money. I stopped using it after 6 months. If I ran out of one of them, I had to wait for my next shipment to arrive. Nice thing is that when I quit using it, they gave me a refund. That's the only good thing about it

Pros:

I bought it through a station at a mall. Easily available and I did not have to wait for it to be shipped.

Cons:

I have had this now for over a month and my face has not cleared up at all. Matter of fact, my acne got worse! At 33, you would think I look like I am a teenager again! It did bleach some of my towels too.

Never again will I waste money on a product that has a lot of famous people behind it. I think that they have mislead a lot of people and I call the "false advertisement"!!!!

Pros:

-simple enough to use
-prompt shipping
-the refining mask works well

Cons:

The cleanser dried out my skin and made my face quite oily. The toner irritated my skin the repairing lotion clogged my pores.

not for people with sensitive skin. Don't use if you already have dry skin. The refining mask works well with evening out my oils and shrinking down red bumps.

Pros:

- Worked a bit, but not that big of a difference
- Great face wash

Cons:

- ingredients were too harsh for sensitive skin
- not worth the money

I like their face wash, that worked for me well. But everything else was too harsh for my skin. Not recommended if you have sensitive skin since BP is their active ingredient.

Cons:

This company is a scam. Very difficult to un-enroll from program. Will continue to sent products after you have cancelled and charge your credit card. My advice, is to cancel your credit card at the same time you cancel this product.

Over the counter clearasil wipes and 10% acne cream will work better than this over-hyped predatory company.

Pros:

worked for alittle while

Cons:

face got worse after a while and i started to get dark sun spots all over my face (even when using lots of sun screen).. all the dark spots went away within 2 weeks of going back on clinque..

may work for some people, but definitely not me. i have seen the sun spots on quite a few people that have tried this product and they all disappeared within weeks of going to another product..

Pros:

This product works really well with my skin I noticed my skin clearing up after the first 3 days!!! Plus I had acne deep under the skin like bumps now they have come up and are starting to go away. Ilove this product and it really works very well.=)

Cons:

I have not seen any significant cons as of now but it is a little time consuming to put on but if you allready wash your face this will not be a problem for you.

The Bottom Line with this product is that it really works. I have heard some stories from other people that it doesnt but i guess you have to be a certain skin type for this product. I would suggest trying this product if your fed up with other products that dont work like the neutrogena copy of proactive. I am eager to see my skin completly clear up from this product and im sure that it will hapen with the success that I have allready had with it. Hope this is helpful to you.
