Pros:

It's affordable

Cons:

The three step process is way too consuming, dries face, bad odor, etc.

I am very disappointed. The first week I used Proactive, it worked. After that week, my face worsened. I used it for a month and a half and no improvement. My face looks worse now than before I started using Proactive. I have a niece and nephews that are in H.S. and Proactive made their face worse too. Proactive is all lies!

Pros:

-Refined my skin
-cleared up small acne that was on my forehead
-I have been using proactiv for just over a week and it seems to also be working on the cysts. I use the refining mask as a spotter overnight and it sucks out the oil of the pimple

Cons:

-After the 2nd application my skin went extremely dry but this seemed to stop when i peristed.
-I use it once a day and i am not going to use it twice a day becasue of its drying effect
-The moisturisor doent really do much so i am now using my

-I have only used this for a week and a bit. When i first started i though i was going to have to stop because my skin was so dry but now it seems to be working very well and my skin is constantly improving. - i am happy with this product :)

Pros:

Makes your skin feel soft...thats it!

Cons:

Biggest waste of time ever! I truly wish I had found this website earlier to find something that worked! I used Proactiv for about 2 months straight day and night with NO RESULTS. I am now using Duac at night and wow that works great :)

If you have oily skin with moderate to severe acne, move along! Try cleansing your face twice a day along with Duac gel :)

Pros:

Helps pimples stay away for the most part
Leave skin feeling soft.

Cons:

Irritates skin, makes it flakey, makes skin worse at first, smells like chemicals, takes a very long time to make your pimples go away.

This woud be good for people with light acne. Anything more then that, dont count on it. It still makes me break out, doesnt make current pimples go away either. Not worth the money at all.

Pros:

Cons:

didnt clear everything and stopped working

proactive seems to work for about a couple months but it isnt consistent, your skin gets used to it and its not as effective anymore =(

Pros:

well it was nicely packaged

Cons:

in the first 2 day of use my acne got alot worse. still using it ......
gonna see if it gets better... smells bad. all of the stuff stings my face. no results yet after like 3.5 days. adds seem to lie ALOT about seeing results quickly.

hasent worked yet . hopeing it will.... 10% peroxide works - but hurts the skin. if this doesnt work for you just get that. im gonna have to say i wouldnt recommend it because its only caused pain, money, time, and made acne worse in only 2 days......... might work later on..... im gonna be a giunie pig and try it for 2 weeks.

Pros:

Made my skin feel very clean and worked very well for the first 2 weeks.

Cons:

After the first two weeks my acne (which isn't bad at all) was worse than it has ever been. I had acne in places I hadn't before.
I am still working on repairing the damage it has done to my cheeks.

Product is not effective and is very expensive.
