Pros:

-easy to order
-clears skin but when i stopped using it for a few days i got a few pimples.
-the fragrance doesnt really bother me

Cons:

- dry`s out my skin
- makes my skin itchy sometimes
-have to moisturize much more than usual.

over all it works, but you have to learn to use it with moderation ....the benzoyl peroxide and the salicilic acid that it contains dries the skin .... so i recommend to use it 3-4 times a week instead of every day.

Pros:

Smelled good

Cons:

Made breakouts worse, very time consuming (3-4 steps at a time gets really time consuming) expensive

Highly glamorized product that doesn't deliver results. May be good for someone with very clear skin and an occasional zit. Otherwise it was very ineffective for me

Pros:

cleared up cystic acne after just a few treatments

Cons:

swollen eyes
red burning, itchy, peeling skin
lines in my face were exaggerated
painful to smile, my face felt like it was on fire and would crack if I smiled
scared to quit the system because I have been warned that my acne will get worse!

Proactiv does clear the skin of acne but the side effects are brutal and I do not have sensitive facial skin

Pros:

Works for my skin
No more breakouts
Monthly delivery

Cons:

Dries skin out

Works for my skin, I haven't had a bad breakout since I started using it. I just wish that I had tried it years ago. It has given me confidence back again. My recommendations is to try it once regardless of negative reviews because it works for me, I will continue using it for life. The only issue I have been with it is it dries out my skin so I need to use moisturizer regularly but it beats having acne!!

Cons:

harsh
dries you out

Worst product experience EVER. I'm sure it works for some people but it was simply awful for me. I didn't notice any difference in the amount of acne, but there was definitely an effect. My skin got so so so SO dry, to the point where my skin was tearing when I smiled. My face was burning and always painful. I want to throw something at the tv whenever their commercial comes on.

Pros:

First payment of 19.95 for trial size.

Cons:

Ruined my complexion, I have blotches of acne under my cheeks, from ear to ear, down my chin.

Ruined my complexion completely, now I will have to see a dermatologist to fix the damage it caused.

Pros:

I am on the fence as far as liking it and rating but Proactiv does, indeed fact work. i was breaking out and having pimples after pimples then the haorrible blemishes and started using proactiv and it cleared my face up tremendously. First few days will cause more breakup because your face is getting use to the product but it does work!!!

Cons:

HOWEVER, once you stop using proactiv. Completely. I was using it for just about up to almost 4-5 months, (after your face has cleared up) ACNE COMES BACK WITH A VENGENCE. All the breakouts and pimples get worst. Like the product is crack for your face and once youre off it, it goes haywire. I have been off Proactiv for over an year now (now using Cetaphil and PanOxyl) and have mild to moderate. :-( thought about getting back on Proactiv but i dont know. AND ITS too costly!!! They charge you and

Great temporary fix. For me it cleared and heal, but once i canceled my subscription and stop using it, my acne came back with a vengence. Overall to costly and I hated the payment plans/process/Charges!!!!

Pros:

It may work for some people but not for me.

Cons:

Everything about this product stinks.
It has fragrance
Irritating
Strips your skin/ages it fast/damages and ruins skin
Swelling
Itchiness
Redness
Peeling
Low self confidence
Cant cover up makup good without it looking cakey

Proactive was harsh from the start. i used it for about 4 months.The fragrance irritated my skin. It made my eyes swell up even though i put it no where near my eyes. It made my face extremely itchy and red and it is very drying. Over all it is a horrible product that will age your skin fast and strip it from everything it needs like moisture, natural oils, protective barrier, etc. I would never use the proactive regimen again. I do like the refining mask though.

BURN MY SKIN BAD

I was seeing results, but when I used it I would get super red and my skin would burn really bad. The redness would last half of my day. I dont recommend it at all.

Pros:

Easy to find

Cons:

Didnt work
Irritating

Not worth the time. The cleanser is gritty and I think its supposed to ecfoliate, but It just irritated my skin. I am still not sure if a person even needs a toner.
