Pros:

Smells okay. Easy storage.

Cons:

When you first use it it causes breakouts. Then it "clears it up" that is what i have been told but I broke out and never got cleared up until I stopped using it. For my sister she brokeout than cleared up. You have to use it consistently or it doesn't work. The toner made my skin burn.

It is a waste of money. Yes it does work for some people but not many. No, no, no, no!

Pros:

cleared some pimples

Cons:

1.)DONT BE FOOLED BY THE 19.95 OFFER! THEY ROPE YOU IN FOR TWO MORE MONTHS OF PRODUCTS WITHOUT TELLING YOU!!
2)Gave me tiny whiteheads on spots that were't an issue before
3)DRYING!!
4)The bonus green tea moisturizer is about the size of my pinky!!!

UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY MORE THAN $60 FOR THE WHOLE SERIES OF PRODUCTS...DO NOT BUY THE SPECIAL OFFER OF $19.95!!! I HAD TO GO OUT OF MY WAY TO CANCEL AND RETURN THE OTHER TWO PACKAGES AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT REFUNDED MY MONEY.

Pros:

- Works the first day.

Cons:

- Red Skin
- Rashes
- PIMPLES don't go away!

Okay, so here is the go people, Proactiv is for people without sensitive skin. I have never had sensitive skin until i came in contact with Proactiv. It dry's out my skin, turns it red, makes rashes appear all over my face, burns, and guess what, it even gives me PIMPLES! The one thing i wanted out of my life, i got more of them, I've never had pimples so bad in my life. It isn't worth it guys, i use other products, they work better and don't leave my skin as dry and irritated, and they do not cause pimples. Not worth the money guys, not worth the time, not worth the effort. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I do not recommend this product. It does not work. It irritates the skin. Also I had two charges on my account in the same week. I explain to my son that the best option is to have a doctor look at this face and determine the best course of treatment. Also to remind him that nothing would work over night. I encourage anyone trying to use this DON'T. Your are better off going to your dermotologist and let them decide what is best for your skin. The key is to communicate and let him or her know if you prefer pills or topicals. They will get you the best results.

Pros:

This product smells nice. That's about it.

Cons:

Severley dries out skin. So much that it hurts to smile! Also, it causes a lot of redness, and stings and burns when applying it. Causes little blackheads and whiteheads to go away at the beginning, but HUGE zits to form. Especially the Refining Mask... DO NOT USE IT. It causes the worst breakouts ever.

Biggest waste of money ever. Do not try this product. Ends up causing more breakouts, and a lot of pain when huge pimples form. Also the drying is horrible. Not worth the money at all. Try Roc products instead. A LOT cheaper, and much better quality. Proactiv is the biggest rip off ever. You have been warned!

Pros:

The cleanser seemed to exfoliate well and the products did not over-dry my skin.

Cons:

The benzoyl peroxide comes in a 2oz. container and after 6+ years of using the products I still had moderate acne.

The products work to an extent. My skin definitely got worse when I quit using them, without switching to another product right after, but overall the products are not very effective and are very expensive.

Pros:

good moisturizer.

Cons:

It did not work at all and was expensive.

I used this for a couple months and there were no amazing results. I broke out just the same and my face was pretty much just the same...maybe worse. This was an expensive product that didn't do anything for my skin. So unless you are out of options and don't know of anything else that can help your skin DON'T get this!

Pros:

Improved skin texture for a time.

Cons:

Effects didn't last and it bleached everything!

It works for a little bit, but for me it only seemed to improve the texture of my skin, and I know it was because the product contained Benzoil Peroxide, but it bleached shirts and my down comforter. Which I can deal with if it is a good product, but this stopped working.
