Pros:

Cleanses skin perfectly
make skin nice and smooth
everything works perfect

Cons:

there is none

I am currently using proactiv and it makes my skin so soft and i saw results in just one day. If it makes your skin dry, try using a moisturizer (like the green tea moisturizer). Yes it does make your skin irratated, but if you READ it, it is a side affect and doesn't last long. I highly recommend this acne regiman.

Pros:

Cleared my Acne

Cons:

Can be very drying
BP burns a little
Expensive

I have been using Proactiv for 9 years. Its been the only thing that can keep my acne under control. I can go months without out having one pimple. (I usually get one around "that time of the month). But I am okay with getting one. Proactiv doesnt work for everyone...but it DID work for me..and I swear by it. I have tried going off Proactiv and to try new products and I break out like madd.

Pros:

It isn't heavy on my face. Very light and smooth. Smells great and feels great.

Cons:

Price

It works great so to me it's worth the money and the price is nothing compared to what it costs to go to a dermo and the price you'll pay for their medication. I've only been using it now a little over a month. My face is so soft! It's was patchy and a little rough before. My husband and my kids love touching my face because of how soft it is. The refining mask is like a miracle in a freaking bottle! At night I put a dab of it on a problem zit.. in the morning it was practually gone. Much better than poking at it. It helps the temptation of doing such also. I have tried many acne products.. and while some may have worked they always dried out my skin and irratated it.. so itchy and dry. Some just didn't work at all or the moisturizers made my skin oily. I love proactiv! I never wanted to spend money on it but finally my husband just bought it.. and I'm so happy he did! : )

Pros:

-Cleared up acne
-Exfoliates Skin

Cons:

-Red Marks still linger
-Occasional Breakouts

All in all this has worked wonders for me. Just make sure to cleanse lightly as to not over exfoliate your skin. I also use jojoba oil with my moisturizer. Otherwise it can be drying

Pros:

The only item that has ever worked for my skin. I am and just discovered I am allergic to salicylic acid and sulfur topical products. Proative 3 step program is all benzoyl peroxide, which saved my skin from 8 months of pure hell.

Cons:

Can be a little pricey, but worth it. I'd rather not have a lot of $ in my pocket then have a ton of acne on my face.

It worked and works for me, I'm a believer. After putting my face literally through 8 months of hell, of redness, peeling, tenderness, burning, etc. I love this product it has saved my face and my sanity! P.S. A little goes a long way people.

Pros:

It cleared up the major acne I would have during that time of the month and kept from new acne reappearing. My face is really dry and the product helped my face from feeling tight all the time from makeup.

Cons:

I still have tiny bumps that do not go away, but Im not stressing over that

It worked really good. It has a good consistancy of keeping my acne from reappearing.

Pros:

It's great. I only use the repair lotion and I only use it on my skin after I shower and my skin is still damp.

Cons:

The astringent and the scrub are too strong for sensitive skin.

I have used them all and this is the only one that works. The repair lotion feels great on your skin. I am eternally greatful for this product.

Pros:

Eliminated 95% of my acne within 1 week. Skin feels softer then ever now!!

Cons:

Does dry out face a little, but with a good moisturizer, it's easy to keep soft and smooth!

Works great, I'm so excited to have smooth skin again. I've always had large pores and bad blackheads. I feel 10 years younger now!! Love it! I didn't buy mine through the proactiv company. Check on [link removed], you can get much larger quantities for the same price as on [link removed]. I get 6 ounces of the cleanser and toner, 3.5 ounces of repairing lotion, 16 ounces of the deep cleansing body wash, and 2.5 ounces of the refining mask on auto delivery for only $49.68! At proactiv you would only get 4 ounces and no body wash for that price!! I'm hooked!

Pros:

high quality as opposed to the drugstore imitations, works quickly, available in most malls now, the BP lotion isnt grainy, the toner is alcohol-free and at a correct pH for exfoliation

Cons:

obliged to join a club when ordering online, fragranged, small bottles, expensive considering there are no special ingredients

whenever I have a breakout, this works! but when my skin is clear, I get lazy and stop using it, and a few months later Im really broken out. It works fast, but dont be discouraged if you break out a little more after a couple weeks because old stuff has to come to the surface. Keep on it for 2 months before giving up. After using it for about 5 months straight, it might seem to be less effective. In this case, just try and use more of the repairing lotion and make sure you're being consistent. Keep using it and eventually it'll get better. Sure, the celebs are getting paid millions to push proactiv, but it does work for mild/moderate acne. For severe acne, it might have to be used with antibiotics or other prescriptions. But as an OTC product this is very good. I always make sure I have some around. my mom is still dealing with acne too, she's in her 50s and proactiv has really helped her too, she swears by it. its worth a shot. give it 2 months, if it doesnt work, get your money back
