Pros:

- Does clear out acne to a certain extent
- Feels decent on the the skin
- No side effects

Cons:

- Doesn't work as well as promised
- Breakouts still occur, but less severe than before.

Does work to a point, but doesn't go through completely. Still have mild and at times mild/moderate acne on forehead. Pimples and breakouts do appear, despite continuous use and clearing of some acne.

Pros:

i honestly don't have anything good to say about it. i used it for a month straight and didn't see a bit of difference after using it like i was supposed to for a whole month

Cons:

the green tea moisturizer burned my skin so bad that it took a few days before the redness was gone. they seem to really stress that proactive doesn't dry out your skin at all, but mine started to peel after about a week and a half.

proactive is a waste of money. their commercials are made to psychologically trick you into thinking that their products are made for "every person, every skin type" but no one's skin is the same. i always wonder how much they end up paying celebrities to say that they use proactive?

Pros:

It was easy to use, light on my skin, and smelled decent.

Cons:

I used it pre-acutane and it did nothing for my cysts. NOTHING. I used it post-acutane and it helped smooth things out.

It's ok. I think it may work for some people. I do not want to be hooked on Benzyl P for the rest of my life. Would prefer a more natural path. Also, in speaking with an aesthetician, was told that ProActiv tends to push things down in the skin and people that used to have cystic acne have a chance of getting it again. and I DO NOT want to go through that again. Bottom line, I am returning my package. It's all nice and well packaged, but the reality is that I don't want to much unnatural STUFF on my skin. Thanks!

Pros:

Clears up skin fast, fairly easy to add to a routine

Cons:

bleaches clothes, burns a little at first.

I definitely reccomend this product. I always heard great things about it from most, but I still hear that for some, it doesn't work. It did wonders for my brother and best friend, so I tried it. It's amazing. Within 2 days my skin cleared up. I actually like the buring feeling, it's not terribly uncomfortable and I know its working.

Pros:

ummmm...

Cons:

OMG! where do i begin?!
first the cleanser... its exfoliating so it causes your skin to become dry then overly oily because of the fact that you have to use it twice a day the toner & the lotion burn & it does nothin but bleach everything!

dont waste your money on this... its a known fact that exfoliating your skin more than three times a week will do the complete opposite of benefiting your skin... and the combination of the perfume and colors used in the product make it that much more harsh on the skin.

It brings up all of the acne that you have and will have and then after about a week or two the acne starts being eliminated. It leaves your skin feeling soft.

Pros:

Clears pimples and zits

Cons:

Dries skin terribly, give skin a strange texture, too frequent shipments

I always had pretty clear skin up until about a year ago when stress caught up with me and my skin had a horrible reaction. I started getting little zits and HUGE pimples. I ordered Proactiv and I have gotten very few pimples. However, my skin is dry and stiff. I was left with scars and like..discolorations. If all you want is no or very few pimples..Proactiv will give that to you.
