Pros:

-

Cons:

Didn't do one positive thing for my face

I used Proactiv for over 1 year and it did not help my acne at all. In fact, it has really made it continuously worse. I kept thinking that it was just the initial breakout that you are supposed to get, but, after a year, it was still horrible! I am very disappointed with this product.

Pros:

it makes your skin soft and smooth when you use it and your skin feels very clean. it moisturizes your skin.

Cons:

after you stop using it, it stops working right away. it also takes a while for results. it makes your skin very oily later on in the day.

this product takes a while to work until you start seeing results. on tv they exagerate because it doesnt work that well how they say it does. it makes your skin really smooth after a week or two of using it. it eventually starts working but when you stop using it, your skin will break out really fast.

Pros:

clears acne, skin becomes very much softer,

Cons:

a bit too expensive

i would recomend getting this product if you have a lot of acne, but dont expect the results you see in ads, it certanly helps reduce acne, but does get rid of them completely

Pros:

got rid of most of my major pimples after just 2 uses, gave my skin a healthy glow

Cons:

the smell, toner smells most disgusting, toner stings sometimes, BP lotion can really dry out your skin, expensive, not enough supply, dried out my chin, and the skin around my eyes, does not get rid of dead skin

this has got to be the best acne product i've used ever. My acne started to flare up about 3 weeks ago, and clean&clear scarred my face, and made it extremely red. So i decided to try out proactiv, and i don't regret buying this product. Now i only have light acne, and my skin isn't red anymore! i can actually look people in the eye when i'm talking to them now. It does dry out our skin quite a bit, i even got sunburn on my chin. now theres two big dark patches on my chin. just use it once a day, since it is a pretty strong product

Pros:

The price.

Cons:

I hated the smell, and it made my skin break out.

I was disappointed with it. It is affordable, but it made my skin break out, and I could not stand the smell. The toner stung my face, and the refining mask did nothing. If you only have mild acne, buy a tube of toothpaste. It does the same job.For more severe acne, see a Dermatologist. This is not a quick fix by any means!

Pros:

It clears up zits (mild to moderate acne), and the lotion and cleanser smell good.

Cons:

The toner smells like rotten eggs, and I've got the sunburnt look. Also, you're on their stupid club list and that doesn't help.

I've got sensitive skin, and Proactiv gives me that sunburnt look. It clears up zits, but does nothing for blackheads. I hate looking like a tomato, especially when you compare my face to the rest of my fair-skinned body. Also, I thought you received the refining mask every month. You only get it one time (which sucks, because ordering separately from the Proactiv site is a hassle).

Pros:

Proactiv is great. It definitly cleans the skin great, leaves skin feeling smooth, and most importantly, clears your acne.

Cons:

It is a liitle expensive. But, I'd rather spend the money on a product that works than on tons of other products that don't.

It's not instant magic. It does take a couple weeks or so to start seeing dramatic results. It is great at clearing and preventing acne when it is used consistently. For the people who say that Proactiv dries out the skin a lot, it even says on the bottle, if your skin starts to dry up a lot, you need to reduce the usage to once a day. And if you use a good, oil-free, non-comedeogenic moisturizer, dry skin is absolutely not a probalem. I would recommend this product to anyone because I think it really does work. You just need to follow the instructions and be consistent with it. Also, when first starting Proactiv, you need to start with only one use a day for 3-5 days so that your skin can get accustomed to it. That is why many people on here have red blemished that appear because they do not let their skin become accutomed to it. Like I said, you just have to follow the directions and you need to read the information packet that comes with it because it really helps.

Pros:

I've used this product for at least 10 or 11 years and I love it.

I use the program as directed and really see great results. It makes my skin look healthy, radiant and clear. I occassionally have a few breakouts, but it is due to hormonal changes, sweating too much at the gym or diet changes. Early on, I had to use the repairing lotion in the evening only, but that changed after awhile and I've experienced no problems with any of the products. I also use the refining mask about every 2 weeks and I do find it to really help in making my skin smoother than just using the 3 step program. I get my 3 step program on the auto ship and I change my program to be 2 toners and 1 cleanser or vice versa. I don't go through the repairing lotion as quickly as the other two. When I need the repairing lotion, I just go online and change the kit. So keep in mind, you can change the 3 step products to suit your needs. I also use the sheer transluscent pressed powder to carry in my purse and really like it too. I'm a firm believer in the proactiv system.
