Pros:

hmmmmmmm

Cons:

Drys the HECK out of your face : ( Moisturizer does not help at all! feels moisturized for a few minutes, then back to cracked and dry. Face feels really tight all the time! Burns sometimes.

I started using ProActiv many years ago. I saw results within a week. I thought I found a miracle cure for my face! It worked great! Pimples disappeared, face felt pretty smooth compared to normal anyway.This product has burned my face since the beginning, but I put up with it because I thought that was it just "working" and doing it's magic. Well my face is fine during most of the month, but the few days before I get my period(when my face flares up the most) Proactiv makes my face severely dry! No matter how much of the oil-free moisturizer I put on my face, it doesn't work! It will feel good for a bit, then a few minutes later it's like I never applied any moisturizer. The weird thing is, as much as I complain about this stuff-it seems I haven't found any product I'm willing to try and let go of Proactiv. The second I give it up to try something else, I switch back to Proactiv. Love/Hate relationship lol. Sometimes works/sometimes doesn't! : (

Pros:

This product works very fast. Within a couple of days of using it my skin looked better. Not only did it erase my acne but parts of my face that didn't have acne looked fresher and better.

Cons:

May cause redness, as with most products. Just use moisturizer. Somewhat expensive.

I love this product. It works really well.

Pros:

Works well and fast

Cons:

A little expensive for some

I work at Proactiv and I know for a fact (from experience and our guests) that the product works. You must use it consistently and as directed, most will have amazing results. If you have trouble with oil or dry skin, use a 4 or 5 pc kit. It takes more than a month to work. You should give it at least 2 FULL systems to see the appropriate results

Pros:

Deep clean feeling with nice moisture afterwards.

Cons:

may dry you out, but cont. to moisturize and it will be ok.

Use the product as directed and consistently for at least 2-3 weeks and you will notice an improvement in your skin! If you don't give it enough time to work you will never know.

Pros:

Less acne than before using it.

Cons:

Very drying, couldn't use all of the steps, seems to stop working after awhile.

My skin reacts better to their cleanser than any other I've used and I've tried them all, I couldn't use the cleanser or the moisturizer both made my skin red, raw, and painful. It seemed to work better when I first started it than now, and I still have never been completely blemish free, but it gotten me closer than any other product.

Pros:

Nothing...It did not work at all! I used it for two months. Actually, it made my acne worse than ever. All it did was dry out my skin.

Cons:

It does not work. It only dries out your skin.

Do NOT waste your money!

Pros:

It clears up your skin if you have acne but not severe.

Cons:

You need a GOOD moisturizer, and you have to stay committed

I first started to use proactive about 3 years ago and I got beautiful results my face cleared up relatively fast. But then I went to the Dominican Republic and my nose burned off due to the fact that proactive makes u more sensitive to the sun which can be fixed with sunblock buti 'm an idiot. My mom stopped my proactive in about 4 months my skin slowly became more oily and i began to break out worse than i have ever had. I began to get cystic acne the size of quarters.. so i went back to proactive thinking that i would get the same results and it actually got worse BUT keep reading it gets better... i ordered the extra strength system and my face cleared up it jus took a little longer since i broke out a lot but the proactive lady told me on the phone that when u stop your skin sort of builds a wall to that amount of bp or something like that. SO IF YOU GO ON PROACTIVE AND UR SKIN CLEARS UP DONT STOP.. she said if ur skin stays clear for 6 months u can go to a lower forumla
