Pros:

This works better for me than anything else I have ever tried, makes me feel like a normal person. No fragrance which I like. containers travel well.

Cons:

I hate having to order this and wait. would rather go to drug store and buy what I need.

Won't live without it, but still trying things at the drugstore hoping to find someting locally available that I can pickup as needed.

Pros:

Clears up acne and unrelated blemishes; tightens pores and provides a smoother skin surface; helps diminish the appearance of acne scars.

Cons:

Skin-types differ so the product may not be as beneficial to some as it is to others. It's probably best to consult a dermatologist before usage as, depending on the person, some of the ingredients may cause side-effects.

If used daily and as directed, the product can have a great impact. My skin is smoother than before, acne scars are fading, pore size has decreased and blemishes are disappearing relatively quickly. I've never experienced any of the dryness expressed by some (this is probably because I use a very thin layer of the repairing lotion). I initially had dry skin, but the texture has actually normalized since usage. ProActiv worked relatively quickly for me. I've been using the product for less than a month and I'm satisfied with the results so far.

Pros:

After 3 days I can say this product is remarkable. I am 40 and have two or three continuous blemishes and extremely oily skin. My skin feels smoother and must less oily with Proactiv.

Cons:

The bottles are too small. I would rather purchase 8 oz bottles. It is pretty expensive as compared to Mary Kay, my previous product. Also, I don't like the idea or recurrent purchasing. I finally found it at the mall and purchased it there.

I will keep using it because my skin looks so much better. I do have very, very oily skin and I can see how someone with more sensitve skin would experience irritation with the strength of this product but it works great for me.

Pros:

Makes my face feel really smooth. My blackheads are finally disapearing. Keeps my skin from breaking out.

Cons:

When you first start using it, it will bring out the zits that are already developing under your skin and then it will make them go away. Kinda pricey

I love it! I use it everyday. I don't use the repairing lotion everyday though. Whenever I feel a breakout coming on or a blemish that is itchy I can go use it right then and it goes away. I have always had blackheads and I tried everything to get rid of them and nothing would ever work.....until proactiv. My blackheads are disappearing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

It works. It cleared up my acne for the most part.

Cons:

It bleaches your towels. It makes your skin age faster. If you use it long term, your skin will try to defend itself against the bleaching effect & it won't work. It will make you break out initially.

Bleaching anything will be effective, but it is way too harsh for your face. This product is not a good idea if you care about aging. It has been known to burn & damage skin permanently. If you try to return unopened product, they won't give you your money back if it's been too long. With auto ship, product will collect in your cupboards & you won't be able to return it later. I loved Proactive until I realized it was ruining my skin in the long term. I'm 31 years old & now I am seeing the effects of using proactiv for years. Please use this product with caution!!! I have switched products & my skin is WAY BETTER!!! lada68@[link removed]

Pros:

I tried antibiotics,dermatologists,OTC products,even Accutane.nothing worked but this.people say it made thier skin worse,but as with any new skin regimen,the first few weeks it will,until your skin gets 'used to it".it may take up to 1 1/2 months to

Cons:

bleaches cloth, may dry out skin.i recommend in the morn,mixing the lotion with your normal face lotion

use it. if you do half and half of the repairing lotion with your normal face lotion, you shouldn't get to dried out.

Pros:

It's an EXCELLENT product which gives you healthy looknig(NOT PERFECT..ITS NOT MIRACLE CREAM) skin that you can feel confident with. It also helps fade spots so thats good too..It works for my skin and i am happy with the results.

Cons:

Its a bit pricy...and because of my location its a bit hard to get sometimes...and when you run out its not very pretty at all because your skin breaks out even worse than it did before.

If you have acne THIS THING WORKS LIKE A CHARM!! Trust me. Those who've had problems with it either didnt need it, didnt follow instructions, didnt use it consistently enough or had an allergic reaction to it. Follow the instructions and get yourself familiar with the product first(thats the smart thing to do). It comes with a booklet...read it!! Call them if you have a specific question, they're more than willing to answer SO TRY IT!!!
