Pros:

-Cleared my pimples.
-Mild "baby powder" fragrance

Cons:

-Expensive
-May be irritating for some people.

Proactiv is currently working wonders on my skin. I've been using the 3 step system over a month and I currently do not have a single pimple on my face. I can't remember the last time that I can say that. Proactiv might not work for every one's skin. I'm fortunate enough to have resilient skin that isn't allergic of affected by the dryness of benzoyl peroxide. Having said that, Proactiv could be irritating for some people.

Pros:

Smell, no burning, leaves face felling fresh and clean, the refining masks works really well. Nothing burns, All of the products fell light on your skin.

Cons:

May take awhile, but is worth it.

Proavtiv is a great kit for anybody to try i am 14 and started it a few months ago, although it is not fully cleared up there is a huge improvement in the condition of my skin and people really do notice it. It is clearer, smoother and looks way healthier. Most people complain about stinging, but there isnt any tinging at all. It feel so healthy on your skin. Anybody should try it. It REALLY works and most people whp it doesnt dont try it for long enough or dont use it right. It truly is a miracle and i am very thankful for it.

Pros:

It works, at least for a while. Maybe it will continue working this time around, maybe not. It leaves skin feeling rejuvenated and fresh.

Cons:

Is inconsistent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have used and stopped using this product 2 times before, and this is the third time that I am starting to use it again. This time, it worked wonderfully and I have used it for a week now.

My skin has very few blemishes now. I tried it about a year ago, thinking it would work because it had worked for me before and I had stopped using it. Two or three years later, my acne came back so I tried it and it didn't do anything for my skin and instead dried it out. But I decided to try it again recently because there was some lying around in the cabinet and it worked!! Weird, I just hope it continues working, tho. It is great when it works and a disappointment when it doesn't. It will have varying effects on different people. That is the bottom line .If you want to take a chance, then u should. I mean, its worth a try right?

Pros:

My face freaked out when I first got pregnant. Proactive was the only thing that worked, and it worked well the first time

Cons:

I thought I would try something else after a few years and my face didn't agree with it. But when I went back to proactive, it didn't work anymore. I was told by another former user that it didn't work for her after stopping and restarting again.

Don't stop using it. Works great the 1st time, but not after you restart it.

Pros:

Has a nice smell
Nice Packaging

Cons:

Dries the skin like mad
Stop using it and suffer

Overall I would say that it worked at first for moderate acne, then stopped working. Skin never got 100% clear. It's a complete waste of time and money.

Pros:

The product does make your skin feel clean after doing all three steps

Cons:

It dries out your skin if you do it every day, and it does seem to stop working after awhile.

I havent used it for a couple weeks, and the problem pimples have gone away since i havent used it that long.

Pros:

not too many...

Cons:

frangrance, burning, time consuming, NO POSITIVE RESULTS, costs more than its worth

i wasted a lot of money and many months believing that proactive's promise of clear skin would eventually come through. day and night, i followed their program religiously and i NEVER saw results. proactive seems to work primarily for people who have only a pimple here or there. it treats pimples, not acne... two totally different things. if you're condition is either moderate (or worse) and/or persistent, then you should see a derm and get some real help. accutane made my skin flawless after two months and the acne never came back. i can't believe i even bothered with silly products like proactive.

Pros:

Helped clear and prevent big break outs

Cons:

Didnt clear all pimples. Dried my skin out badly and made it peel. Burns really badly if it gets near your eyes. Stains everything.

Might be good if you just started having break outs. Can be costly and messy.
