Pros:

None. Well they have a money back guarantee which is nice.

Cons:

Made my skin worse! It made me red. People asked if I had poison oak!

It was one of the worse products I've ever used. Everybody is different, some products work great for others. Trial and error people.

Pros:

None

Cons:

It doesn't work! It works for the people out there that get 1 pimple a month or 1 bad break out a year... but for the rest of us who are constantly breaking out due to hormones and everything else this ish doesn't work!

Save your money and go to a dermatologist.

Pros:

Im not too sure. It didnt really get a chance to get rid of any pimples because I stopped using it because it hurt my face so much! Though the pimples did seem more enflamed after using it a few times

Cons:

I guess I put my cons in the pros. But hurt and dried out my face so stopped using after two days.

Didn't like it. It may work for some people but didnt work for me.

Pros:

I really enjoyed to see my face chance by week after week. The product really works, but users needs to be loyal to the product and push themselves to use the product correctly. The renewing cleanser and repairing lotion works well.

Cons:

I think for the cost of the Toner, we should get more for the money. I would think about going to fine a toner with the same levels as the proactiv toner. Be careful with color towels while handling the cleanser on your hand, it will change color.

The product work well. After at least two months of using this product, your skin will go to a new level making you feel attractive and better to look at. Almost a feeling of being flawless! Signed CJ Goudeau of Oklahoma

Pros:

Works well when used consistently...Cleared up my moderate acne. Is very inexpensive compared to prescription topical treatments.

Cons:

Regimen is very drying. I only use cleanser and lotion once a day and toner twice. You must use oil-free moisturizer if you don't want your face to flake off using Proactiv.

I have used the product on and off for over five years now. I keep returning to the Proactiv system because it's the most cost-effective treatment I have found that limits my breakouts to once every couple of months. And the length and intensity of the breakouts is greatly reduced-I've gone from constant acne to 1 or 2 pimples for a couple of days once every 2 or 3 months.

Pros:

I LOVE THIS STUFF. it reallly does work for me
so far..
i have used it for about a month now and my skin really does feel great...slowly the zits are going away! (i have really really horrable acne. on my nose chin and forehead. I LOVE IT!

Cons:

Well one thing i don't like is your face depends on it.
if you were to stop using it you would probably have to go back to it really quickly. i also don't like how you have to use all three... you kant just go back to using just the toner...

i love this product and i love the way it works. you deffinitly have to use it. try it...if it doesn't work then don't use it... jst try it for a month if you don't see the difference then change it out don't use it. my mom buys her facial stuff for like 100.00 just be glad you don't have to spend that much. i buy mine from the mall.

Pros:

works

Cons:

dries skin out

this product is very frustrating. it works so well for me, yet dries my skin out to the point where people actually say something to me about it (rude people, that is). its like i have to choose between having acne-ridden, normal-textured skin and having clear, dry and cracked skin. totally not fair! however, in the end i'd pick the clear, dry skin over the acne-ridden skin any day.

Pros:

Cleared my skin up since I began using it around the age of 16. If I ever had a bad breakout, I would wash my face and apply extra lotion, and wake up to clear skin in the morning.

Cons:

Very expensive. They have you on a type of "subscriber" system. Once 3 months have passed, you find yourself with more bottles of toner than cleanser or lotion. Also, this stuff is like "face crack" - stop using it, and you're screwed.

Good product to use to clear up consistent acne. However, it is almost like your face becomes dependent on this stuff for good skin health. Once you stop using it, do not expect to use cheaper products like Clean & Clear or Clearasil. You will find yourself frustrated and you will be calling the Proactiv hotline again saying, "Yea..yea..I know its $40 a pop, but just sign me up again..hurry, before I change my mind."

Pros:

Makes your face feel clean, gives you a glow, smoothes your skin like no other.

Cons:

Takes a long time to start working, and of course the price. Also, you have to use very little product in order to make it last two months.

I have only mild/moderate acne, mostly in the t-zone, around my mouth and bumps on my forehead. I had used clearasil face wash for awhile, but would still get cystic acne under my skin, which was painful and would take weeks to heal. I ordered proactiv from an auction site, because I didn't want to commit to anything if it didn't work. The first week, my skin broke out horribly. Painful, deep acne all around my mouth and whiteheads around my nose. I kept using it, though, and it's been a little over a month now. My face feels smooth, clean, and has a glow to it. The pimples around my mouth from the first week lasted the whole month, but no new ones have come up, and the whiteheads went away quickly. I have one red mark on my chin where the last zit is finally fading, and my skin looks great otherwise. We'll see how long it lasts. Because of the price, I am only going to buy the face wash and lotion from now on, and buy a cheaper toner.
