Pros:

None.

Cons:

I used the product twice. My skin dried out quickly. Soon, I started noticing small bumps on my neck. The next day my face was red, dry, hot, and itchy. Then my face got extremely dry and started to peel.

Do not use w/o testing on small portion of skin

Pros:

nice scent

Cons:

remotely expensive, charges credit card monthly without notif.

There's so much hype about this system that people are like, "oh i don't worry about it any more, i just started using proactiv," the next day BAM, huge zit. Just because they get celebrities to advertise for them, doesnt mean it works, they're only in it for the money obv.

Pros:

SOFTER SKIN, NO DEAD SKIN CELLS

Cons:

MORE BREAK OUTS, ALL OVER MY FOREHEAD THIS USE TO BE THE ONLY PLACE I DIDNT GET BREAKOUTS.

I TRIED THIS PRODUCT 2 YEARS AGO AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. MY BOYFRIEND USES IT AND IT WORKS GREAT FOR HIM, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY IT AGAIN BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED SO I'M DONE WITH THIS PRODUCT. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS HARSH BUT THE ONLY THING THAT HAS EVER TRULY WORKED FOR ME IS STAYING AWAY FROM POP, EXERCISING AND, USING A MILD CLEANSER LIKE NOXEMA AND RUBBING ALCOHOL. I HAVE HEARD THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT JUST THE PROACTIV CLEANSER ITSELF WORKS BUT I'M NOT GOING TO RISK IT.

Pros:

This stuff worked amazingly on my skin for over a year -- I had the best skin of my life from the beginning of my year of highschool until spring of my freshman year of college.

Cons:

After that year, it abruptly stopped working. Completely. I tried it again after two years, and it won't work again. Don't ask me why.

I have very oily skin and every kind of acne -- cystic, blackheads, whiteheads, everything -- and Proactiv really was the "miracle product" while it worked. Nothing changed in my diet or habits that I can tell when it stopped working. But hey, I'll take clear skin for a year.

Pros:

cleared my face and did the best at delaying oil build up. after the first few weeks, my face did not dry out, and it leaves my face feeling clean and refreshed.

Cons:

The "system" (cleanser, toner, repairing lotion) does not work. I use only the face wash and it works wonders.

The system itself sucks. The toner and lotion is harsh to the face. However, using only the cleanser works wonders. I always battled with acne but I never worry about it anymore. It's such a relief to not have people staring at all of my zits. I've used the cleanser for two years now and I will continue to do so!! Don't waste your money on the toner and lotion. (In my opinion it's a waste.)

Pros:

It works!!!

Cons:

Bleaches your towels. I've gone to white towels for my face.

I've used many many products and none of them worked as well even the medications. Proactive worked so well, I have people stop me on the street to tell me how nice my skin looks. I'm over 50 and have oily T Zone skin causing adult acne which is a real drag. My trick is to use the scrub only at night with just the toner and lotion morning and night. That way it doesn't dry your skin so much. It works for me. I've been using it for over 2 years.
