Pros:

The refining mask works well for clearing up zits fast.

Cons:

It dried up my face,&I felt like I was getting more defined wrinkles. Also,I'm hesitant to use a product that bleaches clothing. I can't to imagine what the reaction is on the skin. I just don't trust it. Not a good product for sensitive skin

Good for some; not for others. However, the whole bleaching thing freaks me out. Would you pour chlorox on your skin?

Pros:

It didn't work very consistently at first; I definitely got results right away, but after a few weeks, I started to get pimples again. After three months though, my skin was clear. I've been using it for six months now and don't get pimples anymore.

Cons:

It doesn't seem to work the same for everyone. It can dry out your skin a bit, so it's wise to also get the moisturizing lotion. Also kind of expensive.

It worked very well for me (and I had moderate acne before using Proactiv) but by reading these reviews I can tell it isn't the same for everyone. Try it for a month or two and see how it goes.

Pros:

-Clears skin
-Reasonably priced
-Easy and quick to use

Cons:

None

I love this product. I seriously question the validity of all the negative reviews that have been posted to this site. Acne treatments are not like anti-biotics -- you will not become "immune" to them. Furthermore, if you've experienced severe swelling or redness, then you're likely ALLERGIC to BP. An allergy is no reason to dissuade others from using a product -- i.e. "this is a bad product because I had an allergic reaction to it." It's not a bad product, it's simply that you're unable to use it due to an ALLERGY.

Pros:

Acne product that works.

I use Proactiv only at night, because when I use it 2 times a day, It dries my skin a lot and it starts breaking out even more. I use Olay Regenerist in the morning and my skin is like a baby skin. I love this product. If you break out while using proactiv that means you need a powerful moisturiser to moisturise your skin, because Benzoyl Peroxide will dry your skin out. But if you use a good moisturiser in the morning before make up, you will not break out.

Pros:

I can't say I have found any pros to this product. It's not the cure all I saw on the television and I have been using it consistently.

Cons:

expensive for the average kid. Doesn't work.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I'm very disappointed and plan to look for a new product.

Pros:

Made my face a little less oily

Cons:

I'd like to say it worked for me but it didn't. I kept breaking out, it would leave scars and then break out again on top the scars. Proactiv didn't really help me with my acne.

I'm glad I tried it and decided it wasn't for me. It's better that I did instead of wondering what if? However, this product is not for everyone.
