Pros:

is simple to use

Cons:

after time of using tends to make the skin dryer

it is not true that proactiv burns the skin,maybe it depends from some skin types,im using proactiv for about a month and i didn't see any damage on my skin,i have tryed everything before but only proactive made a miracle with my acne!

Pros:

-Clears acne
-Doesn't dry your face too much
-Not harsh
-Makes skin smooth

Cons:

-Kind of expensive

I really think that this product does work, you just need to give it time and use it consistently, as well as how they say to. I recommend using the Refining Mask as well. I used to break out about every two days and now I barley breakout at all. I am amazed at how clear my skin is already. I love it.

Pros:

- Prevents Pimples
- Repairing lotion leaves skin smooth
- Easy!

Cons:

- Doesn't work for everyone
- When first used, Skin easily becomes excessively dry. Skin needs time to get used to it
- Not a miracle fix. You have to work on other things too.

Throughout my teens i had the occasional breakout here and there, but when pregnant with my baby my acne became so bad, it depressed me so much i just wanted to have the baby and get it over with. Unluckily when i had my baby, the acne didn't clear up. I then started to use proactiv, i could see results in the first week - i was so happy! I find that it isn't a miracle cure, and doesnt clear up all acne. To fully clear up my acne i had to change my lifestyle! I now eat healthy, exercise and that is what REALLY helped clear up my acne, in combination with Proactiv.

Pros:

Proactiv works for people with mild acne it you have light acne ,them most likey it will work for you . you have to giv it time first it will give you little bumps cause it bringing out all the pimple what would have popped up in time

Cons:

it works but lets just say you move away to a hot climate and you start to produce more oil , it might not work as good as it use

I started using proactiv 3 years ago about my 2nd year into using it . I moved to FL where it is hot , i started to produce more oil than i use to , so proactiv wasnt not working as good as it use to, i had to be put on something strong (like Tazorac ,works GREAT!!!!) then i moved bac to my home town were it gets cold , taz became too strong. So i switched bac to proactv , it started works great agian . Now im clear !!!!, i do have bad breakouts on my forehead every now in then (but i just got of birth control not to long a ago , and if you are on birth control and you get off , your hormones will go sick ) so i have to go bac on it to claim my hormones down .. but overall its a great product , if you have serious acne i think you should not use proactiv it might not work , or you can try the extra strenth formula proactiv (its new ) that might work , if not ask your dermo about tazorac it works wonders !!!

Pros:

- Cleared Pimples early
- Face feels good once it is used to it
- After a very long breakout after about 3 months my skin is almost blemish free

Cons:

- Dried out skin while I was getting used to it
- Expensive for a youth (me)
- Has a slight odour

For me, it works just as advertised, but as I see not for others. After a year I don't need to use it regularly because the proactiv helped control the oil on my face. I think ProActiv is a great product.

Pros:

Makes my skin feel soft and smooth, Less Breakouts, Reduced Pore size.

Cons:

Still get a few pimples, but Hey, I'm a hormonal teenager, and those that I do get aren't as Large and Firey as before. Sometimes I run out of the Toner before my next shipment is due.

I was given Proactiv a few months ago, I'm Currently in a Theatre Production and the producers wanted me to get better skin. (This does mean they currently pay the bill, but I will be continuing after that finishes) My Acne wasn't terrible. I did however have alot of blackheads on and around my nose, very oily skin and I almost constantly had a large pimple under the skin of my Nose or Chin. Since using the product my skin has become less Oily, and softer, I no longer have and blackheads on my nose and I dont get as many large pimples. I do however still get pimples under my skin, but these only last 3 days at the most, dont break the surface of my skin and are almost colorless. It also Bleaches my skin and towels, meaning I no longer have freckles (not complaining!!) Proactiv works for me, It isn't a Miracle cure but it does make my skin Look and Feel better. I will continue using this product.

Pros:

It has reduced my acne by about 75% and the breakouts I get now are not as severe.

Cons:

Doesn't seem to help with blackheads.

It costs me about 40.00 a month, but it is enough for myself and my daughter. We both use the product once a day. I think the most important part of the process is to wash with the cleanser for at least one minute. I actually have to count to 60 while I wash. I think my biggest problem before was not washing for long enough.

Pros:

the mask, the oil free moisturizer, and the skin lightening cream.

Cons:

toner does sting a little sometimes, and rarely i do notice some dryness (that is eliminated once i put moisturizer on)

When i first started using proactiv, i thought that the ads were a fake because i didn't see results right away and stopped using it after less than a month. but i started using it again last year, and its worked great. my problem initially was that i wasn't consistent which is definitly a key factor with whatever you use. I use it twice a day now and my skin has definitly cleared up. Acne scars that I've had for 5 years plus have faded thanks to the mask and recently i've begun using the skin lightening cream. i recomend proactiv to all of my friends. My main piece of advice is to not get discouraged when results aren't seen right away. give it time. sometimes it gets worse before it gets better, but it does get better!
