Pros:

Didn't dry out my skin, comes right to my door, made me feel like it was working for a while

Cons:

Problems with billing, never made my skin totally clear (and my acne was mild), seemed to stop working, now that I'm off it, my acne is worse than ever and I can't find anything that works, sometimes made my skin really shiny (not in a nice way)

Obviously this will react to everyone's skin differently. I thought it was helping at first, but eventually I stopped seeing any progress and was still getting breakouts. My acne is really mild, but since using this product has gotten worse. Also, I seemed to always have too much leftover or not enough left in timing with their automatic sending. Then, of course, every month I had it billed to my credit card automatically. The company would contact me and say I hadn't paid my bill, then bill my credit card a couple days later. When i finally cancelled, they kept sending it to me anyway and billing me. I would send it back and tell them again to cancel it and they would credit me the money back, but keep a 15 dollar convenience fee! For their mistake! Not an overall pleasant experience I would say, though I did have high hopes.

Pros:

This works ok, iv used the repairing lotion and the revitalizing toner for 3 years now. I like it but i still have blackheads. It does help with the major pimples and makes my skin look clear and feel soft!

Cons:

I would still like something more, I want to get rid of my black heads, it doesn't help that at all.

Great product, doesn't dry out the skin and clears it up but doesn't prevent blackheads.

Pros:

None. Did not see any results, all it did was dry my face even with a moisturizer.

Cons:

Expensive.
Does not work.
Waste of time & money.

Everything you see on TV is false advertisement. The celebrities get paid to say these things to get people to buy the product and I think it's so ridiculous. Shame on you, proactive.

Pros:

Well, I've been using Proactiv Solution for about two years now.. At first it was very very effective. All my pimples were reduced and my face became smooth.

Cons:

As I use the solution after 9 months, I noticed that Proactiv makes my skin really oily, and because of this I am not pimple free. And now, my face looks like worse than what I have before I use Proactiv.

I want to stop using it but I can't find any products that will replace what I am using right now. If maybe I can find time to visit any dermatologist that can help me with my problem. Proactiv works at first but as you use it, your face becomes more prone to acne just like what I'm experiencing now.

Pros:

It worked!

Cons:

Three weeks for shipping is totally unreasonable! (and, it really takes that long!!) I could ride my bike to thier warehouse in Iowa in that amount of time. Because of the long wait, I ran out of the product and my breakouts returned!

DO NOT ORDER ON LINE OR FROM 1-800 NUMBER. Just buy it at the mall. It may be a few dollars more, but you won't have to pay shipping or wait 3 weeks for it to arrive!
