Pros:

My face felt clean even though it didnt look it.

Cons:

I purchased the kit for oily skin there is too many steps and the end result was nothing my face stayed exactly the same.

I dont know what type of skin proactiv works for but its definately not oily skin. I believe the people proactiv works for are also using some type of oral medication.

Proactiv does not work. After four weeks of following the twice per day regimen there was no improvement in my skin. Worst of all, I received more of the product by mail even though I did not order it. Their online ordering has a hidden club membership that automatically places your name on a list so that every few weeks you receive more of their product. They automatically bill you for the product you didn't order, plus shipping and handling. Artificial celebrity endorsements, no-results products, and mail order fraud. Proactiv is something to stay away from!

Pros:

Cleared my skin right away within the first week. My face was much smooter.

Cons:

After a year of using this system, my acne got a lot worse. My face became itchy, red, and irritated!

This product might work for some, but with my five year experience it's not worth it. I'm 30 years old and all of a sudden I have a face like a preteen!!!!!!!!

Pros:

Stopped my nodular-cystic acne from forming. I had over 20 large underground cysts on my forehead, and nothing seemed to work. Now, after almost a month consistently on proactiv, I have only two left - much better than before.

Cons:

dries out my skin, stings for a little while, skin is flaky and feels uncomfortable

It's not a miracle cure for everybody, but I recommend you try it out if nothing else is working, and stick it out for a few weeks to give it a chance to work. (Unless you are allergic to benozyl peroxide!)

Pros:

Clears Skin

Cons:

PLENTY If any other company sold a product that worked for me I'd switch in a heartbeat. I feel like I joined a cult because you have to sign up for a stupid "club" just to buy acne cream...what if every product made you do that..cereal? gas?

Customer service is wretched. I had too much (they send it automatically every once in a while) so I cancelled my acount and they sent it to me anyway- 3 times in a row. The third time, I said if they wanted it back, they'd have to send shipping-so then they sent me a collections notice. I swear, if it had hurt my credit, I'd sue for punitive damages.

Pros:

Works well to clear up breakouts, especially the mask.

Cons:

you must use it twice a day, everyday until your face doesn't breakout anymore which could be a long time fro when you started.

Proactiv is a very good product. The mask is the best product because it dries up blemishes overnite. Anytime I have a breakout, I sleep with the mask on and the next morning, the pimple is gone. I love Proactiv so much that I now manage one of the locations in Georgia.
