Cons:

Cheap stuff will not cure urs acne, but making it worst

I been using this product for 1 1/2 year and this product does not clear any of my acne but it makes my skin dry, red, large pore and the worse part are scars due to harsh drugs. If you have acne and wondering wat option out there, talk to urs doctor about laser resurfacing Fraxel, Careful in choosing urs best acne treatment, if not , it will leave with scars and even more acne.

Pros:

It feels good on your face.

Cons:

My face broke out worse after using this product dilligently.

I really didn't like this product. It made my face worse. When I signed up they automatically charge your account monthly and send product monthly; which I didn't realize. However, it was easy to cancel with just a phone call. I would never use this product again though.

Pros:

Proactive solution (scrub, toner, lotion)smells good and feels good to touch. Not greasy, absorbs quickly.

Cons:

You are in big trouble if you have SENSITIVE skin or allergic to benzol peroxide, as I am. I tried to use it consistently, as advertized, but after about three days (twice a day use) my skin turned red, became irritated and started to breakout more.

I could never clear my face completly of zits or able to use Proactiv for an extended period of time.

Pros:

-smells great
-love the texture of the Renewing Cleanser

Cons:

-your skin becomes immune to it and it stops working

i have been using proactiv for almost 2 years and i personally feel that in the beginning it was great, but after a while it stops doing it's job, so i kinda feel it was a waste of money..

Pros:

Cleared up face, softer skin

Cons:

Sort of expensive

At first, it made my skin dry, and I was breaking out more. However, with continued use, I saw a DRASTIC improvement in my skin. My doctor prescribed all kinds of treatments prior to me trying Proactiv. She had been telling me all along that Proactiv was more effective than the prescriptions, but I didn't believe her. Now I do.

Pros:

soft skin, smells good, clears skin with consistent use of the product

Cons:

bleaches towels!!! will get worse first few weeks.

I was VERY SKEPTICAL concerning proactive at first, but after several trips to the dermatologist & numerous different prescriptions, things were looking hopeless. My freshman year of college, my mom's friend (who is a dermatologist in Texas) informed my mom that my skin had moderate acne (I felt that I had a lot though) & proactive would be my best bet. I am now a junior nursing major & have been using it CONSISTENTLY for 3 years, and I only use the wash & toner at night & in the morning. One bottle of each honestly lasts me about 9-10 months (***was informed by my mom's friend that if you use TOO much of the face wash each time... the granuals can be too rough on your skin and will cause more acne) so I use it sparingly but CONSISTENTLY. I also use a moisturizer am & pm by Jergins that works great w/ proactive I would highly suggest proactive. Just keep in mind Consistency & use Sparingly - don't overuse the wash each time - a pea sized amount can work for the whole face each t
