Pros:

Got rid of my acne!

Cons:

Expensive

I love this stuff, I started using it in October 2008 and it took about a month to get full results. At this point I have had pretty much clear skin, may get a pimple or so when I am on my period but that is all! I don't use all of the steps of the system consistently. I use the cleanser twice a day and the other steps I do either once or twice a week. I think the cleanser is the best part of it.. As for moisturizer, I don't use the proactiv one any more, waaay too expensive. I go between a neutrogena oil free or the estee lauder day wear <<my fave.

Great for white ppl i think, not so good for black ppl. ONly clears up acne a little bit. Use if you have light acne.

Pros:

I have normal to oily skin, a lot of surface pimples but suffered from many blind pimples around my chin. Proactiv cleared everything up in about a month, & prevents anymore breakouts.

Cons:

It did dry my skin out terribly - it gives you that really 'squeaky clean' feeling leaving your face feeling really tight. Skin around my cheeks & under my eyebrows started peeling & flaking. Be sure to wash hands well after use as can bleach towels!

A great product to give you a quick fix to acne & blemishes. I have been using Proactiv for a few months now & am still impressed with the results. I personally don't like the green toner, this is what completely dried my skin out. I only use the cleanser, repairing lotion, & oil-free moisturiser & my skin is back to being smooth & flawless!

Pros:

Cleared up my acne in no time at all. Really effective and would suggest that anybody with any level of a

Cons:

Can seem a little costly and I used to get my parents to pay for it before I got a full time job.

Works really well, having tried everything from accutane to toothpaste to over the counter solutions, I have never found anything as consistent and effective as this. I have really bad acne and still get some blemishes, but nothing like what I used to get. Has given me the confidence of the world.

Pros:

Made my skin feel and look smooth(er).

Cons:

It's too expensive, the "Renewing Cleanser" had little grains in it which irritated my skin, it burned, there are too many different steps to follow.

It might work for some people but personally I wouldn't recommend it. It did nothing good for me. It's very time consuming.

Pros:

cleared up a lot, didn't dry out (mostly because i had a moisturizer from aveeno), consistent, skin is still soft, skin is even, didn't scar

Cons:

doesn't clear up your severe acne 100%, when stop after a few days you will breakout

if you have severe acne, try this if nothing is clearing you up. It will clear up real good. It will take about a month though. The first 2 weeks, you may break out, but it's bringing your acne to surface and it will clear up really nice. Once you get down to wear you have a few pimples, you have the choice of keeping Proactiv or switching.

Pros:

Seems to make my skin feel clean.

Cons:

Expensive. Still breaking out.

I purchased the trial version of the product about 3 weeks ago. I think my acne may be getting worse! I used it 2-3 times a day and still have not really seen any improvement. After about 3-24 days of using it, I thought that I saw some slight improvement... but my skin went back to normal again.
