Pros:

Works for the first week
Controlled my oily skin

Cons:

Smelled really chemicially...
Didn't work after the first week
Severe dryness (which I don't mind if it cleared my acne, but it didn't, so my makeup flaked off)
Pretty expensive
Horrible customer service
Made my acne worse
Made my acne SUPER red
Left scarring

Oh, Lord, please don't get this! I have pale skin, and it made it so red and so dry and just awful! My skin isn't sensitive at all, but this made it painful to the touch. It made my acne worse and... ugh. Just awful. It left scars, and didn't work AT ALL after the first week or so. And when I tried to return it, the people there were so rude! Just don't get it. My skin was horrible. I'm off it now, and my skin is starting to look a little better. I wish I never ordered this. Save your money.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The cleanser was way to rough for my skin and you have to buy the moisturizer seperately, it doesn't come with the line.

I hate this product line. I tried it about 3 years ago, and I also tried it when they said that the had a "new" formula. I hated it both times. Both time that I used the products I had used them for about 3-4 months and nothing happened except my acne got more inflamed because the cleanser was way to rough on my skin.

Pros:

NONE.

Cons:

Expensive.
Burns your skin, and peels the top layer of your skin off.
Your skin gets used to it after a couple months.
Works at first, and gets you excited that you're going to have clear skin! But then stop working!
COMPLETELY RUINS YOUR SKIN AFTER YOU STOP USING IT.
Full of harmful commercial products.

I started getting acne when I was in 7th grade. I tried alot of products and after spending alot of money and time, my parents bought me proactiv. It worked at first, and gave me hope that I would finally have clear skin. It worked about 2 months, and my skin got worse then ever. I stopped using it and switched to some acne cleansers and demolished my skin even more. I went to my doctor and he prescribed me Clindamycin and Retin A. HEAVEN. These to products are absolutely stellar together. I also use Cetaphil to clean my skin. It's so amazing. These three products have changed my life. I definitely recommend them. DON'T BUY PROACTIV. BUY CETAPHIL, AND GET RETIN A &I CKINDAMYCIN FROM YOUR DOCTOR! (:
