Pros:

It helped slightly at first,and arrived at a good time.

Cons:

After about a month my pimples got worse and worse and very painful.Now I am stuck with even MORE pimples than before Proactiv and it was a bit of a scam.My mom had to cancel the membership because it kept charging her and sending more and more.

I am twelve and have used this for many years and do NOT like my results!Please do not get scammed!Don't use this product!

Pros:

Well for the first couple of months or so it really makes a difference.

Cons:

After a few months though it stops working and it makes your acne worse and more painful.

If you only use it once in a while its a fine product, but please do not use it for a long period of time because it will make your acne come in much worse. Dr. Randhawa

Pros:

Works well for me refining mask is the best step for my skin and i use it everyday.

Cons:

There is nothing bad about proactive, everyone cant use the same product, certain products work for different people and when i used proactive it worked for me !

Proactive is a great product and worked on my skin and acne!

Pros:

Product ships on time

Cons:

There's really only one con that's worth mentioning-the product doesn't work.

Buyer beware: Do not give them your credit card number, even though that's the only way to order this product, don't. I called a month before they were to send me out another package to cancel my "membership." But they still sent out another order and billed my credit card. It's a scam.

Pros:

It works for a little while and while its actuallly works my pimples start to fade.

Cons:

My face got immune to proactive very quickly. And when my acne came back it was so much worse than before. Now I have to deal with painful pimples that I did not have to deal with before.

I would not use this if I were you. Mild acne can turn into a big painful problem with this stuff. My face ended up getting a little bleached but it soon went away after I stopped using it. I havent met anyone who says it really fully worked. I would suggest trying something else.

Pros:

Dries up oil. Lessened blackheads.

Cons:

Acne comes back (and worse) if you don't use it consistently. Skin burns, especially when sweating hours after use. Bleaches skin. Very drying. And the refining mask does nothing but zap my skin of all moisture and make it red/flaky.

Definitely not the miracle treatment as advertised. I don't have massive acne, just blackheads and deep white heads that I could never get rid of. My intention was to spot use Proactiv, as needed. Very disappointed that when I miss a day or two (because it's too strong, and I don't have sensitive skin or a lot of acne), I get massive eruptions worse than I've ever had in my life. My skin is slightly bleached white, and looks bleached instead of clear. Further, read the fine lines of the 'membership'. I signed up for the 30 day trial, on day 12, changed the shipping frequency for every 3 months, then was shipped and billed for a full treatment 14 days after the initial 30 day trial and after I changed the frequency. When asked, the rep said most people order full shipments well before the 30 day trial is up. Shipment should be based on what was signed up for and agreed to, not what the mass public is doing! (Full refund was promised though).

Pros:

clears up your skin fast!

Cons:

tingles/burns for a little after you put on the repairing lotion.

i have mild/moderate acne. recently my problem area has been around my mouth. i've done laser, microdermabrasion, oral prescriptions, retin a, weekly facials and lastly i was using aczone which my derm swore by. i used it for 2 months with no impressive results. finally i just decided to try Proactive because I really have nothing to use. Everything was so much more expensive in comparison. After two days it made a remarkable difference I was completely shocked. Besides one blemish my skin is all clear. Everyone is different but if you are as frustrated as I was it would definitely be worth a try!

Pros:

-Works really well after a long time (several weeks)
-Pimples don't come back, and if they do, they fade within' a day or two

Cons:

-Used for more then a year: skin texture much uglier
-Leaved wrinkles i didn't have before (did not use sunscreen...photosensitivity?)
-Bleached around lip areas

Best product i've used so far but the long lasting side effects, including high use of parabens makes it seem just not worth it
