Pros:

Nothing completely at all

Cons:

-dries skin - increases ACNE
-makes skin more inflammened looking - Makes you whiter
-increases flakiness

DONT GET IT PLEASE, do yourself a favour. I was only using this to clear up MINIMAL and i do repeat MINIMAL as in 3 pimples and to control my monthly breakouts and i dont even have that many. This product did NOTHING for me, i had even more results with something cheaper and OTC. Basically it dried my skin out like crazy! i had lines everywhere and makeup looked disgusting so dont bother. I broke out even more than before...this is the worst my face has looked i never had acne this big. not only that this acne looks untreatable, red and will leave scars. Mind you i only used this product for 5 DAYS! and look what happened then i heard all bad stories and i got myself out of the system as quick as i could!. might work for some...but i tell u MIRACLE PRODUCT IT AINT.

Pros:

NO new acne breakouts, acne cysts finally starting to heal, red marks finally starting to fade, blackheads dried up and pores minimised, smooth skin, CONFIDENCE finally returning!!!!!!

Cons:

Drys skin out COMPLETELY! 3 days after using this my skin was literally flaking off my face. It hurt to even raise my eyebrows as my skin was so tight! Had to mositurise 6x/day to fix this, currently 4x/day to prevent it.

Before using proactiv, I had acne cysts on and under my chin, bumpy red acne on my cheeks, and enlarged pores. I had tried other products, most would treat my CURRENT acne cysts but new ones were constantly appearing. It was a constant battle. Acne on my cheeks would last 2 weeks, then be replaced by horrible red marks. I noticed results after 3 days using proactiv. I have been using it almost 3 weeks now, in that time I have had NO new cyst breakouts. My chin area is FINALLY starting to heal, & the red marks on my cheeks starting to fade. My skin is so smooth, & from my cheekbones up looks so clear! My pores have been minmised and blackheads dried up. I have had COMPLEMENTS, & been told my face looks so much 'brighter'! I obviously still have acne, but it is all old acne that is healing nicely. The areas previously not affected by acne but by enlarged pores & blackheads look BEAUTIFUL! smooth & clear :) I recommend this for moderate acne, it gives you your confidence ba

Pros:

It charged exactly what it was worth, 20$, which does not pay for quality.

Cons:

dried out skin, used all the same ingredents and 5$ acne systems. never worked.

they are con artists. and fyi so is skin id, so dont get that ether they also use the same regular ingredients, except they charged for survey. And dont let the beads in proactive fool you guys because any 1$ ance system with beads in it can make your skin feel smooth. Try ancetix, its a litte more expensive, but its worth it. ProActive, I was NOT impressed.

Pros:

Absolutely None

Cons:

Worked well for a few months, then irritated my skin so it broke out even worse

I had many people tell me to try Proactiv (I think just because everybody had seen the commercials!!) It worked great for about 2 months and then began to irritate my skin that it was literally painful to even wash my face with the cleanser. At this point my skin also began to break out worse than it ever had before... even before beginning the system. I do not recommend this product.

Pros:

My skin is very smooth now. I do get blemishes, but they go away very fast. I love the way it treats my skin :)
It also reduces the scars on my face

Cons:

You have to buy the whole package if you've run out of just one of the substances

This is the only product that has worked for me in my whole live! I've tried everything, without succes!

Pros:

Cleared out pimples with constant use but few pimples still appears especially during exams and menstrual periods. Skin is smoother.

Cons:

One needs to purchase the entire kit even if only the cleanser or repairing lotion is needed. Therefore, this makes it way to expensive to use.

Works well but flexibility for acquiring only the needed product type is not provided.
