Pros:

It worked!

Cons:

Three weeks for shipping is totally unreasonable! (and, it really takes that long!!) I could ride my bike to thier warehouse in Iowa in that amount of time. Because of the long wait, I ran out of the product and my breakouts returned!

DO NOT ORDER ON LINE OR FROM 1-800 NUMBER. Just buy it at the mall. It may be a few dollars more, but you won't have to pay shipping or wait 3 weeks for it to arrive!

I love this product. I seriously question the validity of all the negative reviews that have been posted to this site. Acne treatments are not like anti-biotics -- you will not become "immune" to them. Furthermore, if you've experienced severe swelling or redness, then you're likely ALLERGIC to BP. An allergy is no reason to dissuade others from using a product -- i.e. "this is a bad product because I had an allergic reaction to it." It's not a bad product, it's simply that you're unable to use it due to an ALLERGY.

Pros:

Acne product that works.

I use Proactiv only at night, because when I use it 2 times a day, It dries my skin a lot and it starts breaking out even more. I use Olay Regenerist in the morning and my skin is like a baby skin. I love this product. If you break out while using proactiv that means you need a powerful moisturiser to moisturise your skin, because Benzoyl Peroxide will dry your skin out. But if you use a good moisturiser in the morning before make up, you will not break out.

Pros:

This works better for me than anything else I have ever tried, makes me feel like a normal person. No fragrance which I like. containers travel well.

Cons:

I hate having to order this and wait. would rather go to drug store and buy what I need.

Won't live without it, but still trying things at the drugstore hoping to find someting locally available that I can pickup as needed.

Pros:

I have used Proactiv since my sophomore year of high school and am now a senior in college. I use all three steps twice a day and sometimes the mask at night. It works great- the few zits I get clear up soon and my skin tone has evened out.

Cons:

PROACTIV IS LIKE CRACK. One time my shipment didn't get here for like 2 weeks after I ran out and I had HORRIBLE skin, way worse than before I even started it. Running out of it is so bad, its like I have an addiction to it.

If you start using Proactiv and you find that it works for you- be prepared to keep buying and using it until you are to the age that you stop getting acne altogether.Unless you want to look like a teenager with really, really bad acne. It is blessing and a curse at the same time. When I use it consistently, I get compliments on how beautiful my complexion is but I know that if I stop my good skin will be out the window along with my self-image and confidence. Having skin that you are very confident about is not something that you can just be ok without once it is gone. That is why tomorrow I am going to drive 2 hours to a mall that has a Proactiv kiosk so I can get my hit of the Proactiv three steps. I ran out like 2 days ago. I pretty much worship Proactiv. So only use Proactiv if you are rich enough to afford it and buy backups for the next like ten years.

Pros:

Results after 60 days

Cons:

Dries your face

It works wonders for me because I have oily skin. Not only did my acne go away but my face isn't shiny all day long. If you have dry skin proactive is good but use a heavy moisturizer
