Pros:

I love how this makes my skin feel. It makes my skin feel very soft and smooth, and yes it works very well.

Cons:

I am not too keen on the price, but it is worth it to have clear skin. Be careful if you go tanning!!! I forgot and burnt my face!

I have had acne since I was about 11 and I am now 23 and decided that this was enough. When they offered that one month supply for the shipping and handling charges only, I had to try it. I haven't seen my scars start to fade yet, but I have only been using it for about four months. It is $50 for a two month supply, but when you think about it, that really isn't that much and my two month supply lasts me a lot longer than two months using as directed. I and other people have noticed how clear my face looks. I will not go back to my other face washes that dried the crap out of my face and didn't help at all. I love this, and have even bought a few of the introductory ones for some friends!

Pros:

I used it on and off for the past 8 years and while i'm using it my face is clear, my face can be sensetive and this product did not irratate it at all

Cons:

Slightly expensive

Well i have not used proactive for the past year or so and my face is screaming for it! I just reordered it and I can't wait for the white box with green letters to come to my door. My face never has been too back with acne although with stress in my life has caused it to break out terribly! I know once i get proactive my face will be nice and clear soon!!!

Pros:

Really clean feeling after completing the three step process
Left skin really soft

Cons:

Expensive
Time Consuming 3 step process
Bleaches everything it touches

I have been using this product about 2 months. I was really impressed with the clean, soft feeling I was left with afterwards. After a few days, I noticed really dry patches on my face, so I cut back to using the product once at night. I still get the occasional spot, but my acne is hormonally controlled so its at a certain time. My only realy big complaint (besides price with S&H is $50) is that my pillow cases, towels, etc, have all been bleached. I was initially careful to try not to touch stuff with the products since it contains benzyl peroxide and that bleaches, but it is amazing how much things have been bleached! I mean, permanently ruined!

Pros:

Makes skin brighter and smoother after first use, and eventually clearer
Skin feels clean after use
Automatic shipping relieves the worry of running out

Cons:

Smell, but it's not unbearable
Skin doesn't clear overnight
Cannot get lazy or skip a day

This product works. I definatly recommend it. It can be pricey, but it's worth it. My acne used to be moderate and now it's very light.

Pros:

got rid of all my acne

Cons:

i used it for two months and my face was fine. i dont really care about the smell. but when i stopped using it my acne came back and im not doing so good now.

proactive, in my opinion is great. it works just fine. got rid of my acne, cleared up my face, and my skin felt great. even my friends told me i looked alot better. my acne isnt that bad, its just i hate having it. i stopped using it and now im breaking out more often and its a hassle. im going to get it again. just because i want my acne to go away. if its going to cost some extra money oh well. i cant stand acne.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Everything!! It is expensive, smells bad, burns your skin and doesn't really work!

I was very disappointed in this product. I thought that it would work (especially because it is so expensive) but it really didn't. I ended up with about the same amount of acne but with more oily skin. The mask smells horrible (sulfer) and the smell doesn't go away even after you wash your face. After you first purchase the product you automatically have new shipments sent to you (paid for out of your bank account). It also burns like nothing else the first couple times you use it (i tried to get my boyfriend to put a little on his face to see if it burned him too but he refused).

Pros:

None

Cons:

It made my face worse for a few weeks, but then it cleared a little, but only stayed that way for a week or so.

Proactiv is NOT something that worked for me... try something else!

Pros:

-makes you feel clean

Cons:

-isn't consistent

I used proactiv for about 5 months and it worked the first 3. i stopped using it for a day and my face COMPLETELY broke out really bad. The reason why is because when you use an exfoliating cleanser twice a day, its actually creating more oil.

Pros:

Micro beads in cleanser leave you feeling like you got a nice clean face. Toner removes anything you might have missed. Lotion leaves your face feeling fresh.

Cons:

Toner and lotion can sting at times for a few minutes before subsiding. Leaves skin dry and flaky. Did not remove acne.

I suppose individuals with light acne might benefit from proactiv, but this product did not give me results worthy of $60. I tried this system for months and it didnt do anything significant. I RECOMMEND ONLY FOR LIGHT ACNE PRONE SKIN
