Pros:

Its a great product!It starts to work right away.And the refining mask is awesome!! Shrinks pores fast & makes your face smooth.

Cons:

After 2 days I got a red itcy face..but I was overdoing it with the repairing lotion,my skin was sooo DRY! They don't tell you on the advertisments to use a regular moisturizer over the repairing lotion! WHY DONT THEY TELL YOU ThIS??? LOL...

Be patient,it took some time to get the pimples,its going to take some time to get rid of them..Stick to it, 2x a day every day! And read the books that come with the kit..and one one little page way in the back..It will say that you are allowed to use a moisturizer overtop of the repairing lotion.I think MANY people have just given up on it, because of the dry skin..If more people knew that I think there would be less complaints. A tip for people just starting it: depending on your skin type you most likly will have some sort of reaction to the repairing lotion,its pretty common & will go away.. just use it once a day & ALWAYS use your own moisturizer over top! Hope this helps..

Pros:

It works!

Cons:

It's a little pricey, but well worth the money spent.

I have had acne all my life and this is the best product I have ever used. My face was broken out constantly before I used proactiv. When I first started the system, I had to use the concealer to hide my blemishes. It took a few weeks for all of my acne to clear up, but I have been using the product for over a year and my skin looks the best it ever has. I finally threw away the unusued concealer because I have not needed to use it since. I highly, highly recommend this product.

Pros:

Cleared up my skin really well.I'm 17 and didn't really have that much acne, just a couple pimples here and there, nothing too big, it cleared them up extremely fast and the spot treatment works great.

Cons:

The price is a little high, but considering how well it works, it's definitely worth it if you want perfect skin.

Get it!!!

Pros:

Works very well. My skin has never been so clear, and I am an adult who has had skin issues all her life. Easy to use, easy to travel with.

Cons:

It can be drying, especially if it gets in your eyebrows. When I get a bit dry I use it once a day instead of twice. (always at night before I sleep)

This is a great product. The key is to use the correct amount (about the size of a pea for the lotion and a nickel for the cleanser) and always, always use all three steps! I know people who have complained about this product not working and it turns out that they are not using it consistently with all three steps. When they do, it has worked beautifully. Also, some people do have allergic reactions to benzoyl peroxide...if you do a skin test as you always should when using a new product, you will know if you can use it successfully. For the record, I have been using this since the 90's. My dermatologist is very impressed as I have had skin issues my whole life since I was a teenager. As for the price, it is very reasonable on auto refill. When you break it down, it costs about 15.00 a month for the best skin I have ever had.

Pros:

i like the exfoliating grain of the cleanser, i dont like to go without it, i like the smell of the toner, i love the wieght of the lotion. it has been the best thing i have tried so far. they make make up toooo, if only i could afford it.

Cons:

the price has to be in my budget to buy it. but it far less then what i was paying a dermotologist for his retin-a, antibiotics, acutain. i am looking for an alternitive cuz of the price.

i have been using it for over 7 years. if i use it all together faithfully, in the right doses, it works very well. if i get oily or have a break out i use the mask, if i gat dry i use more of the lotion more times a day. it has never irritated my skin like i hear others say.
