Pros:

ive been using it for over a month and the texture of my skin has improved but a couple of white heads have broken into pimples.

Cons:

do remember to wash your hands with soap after applying it or you will end up bleaching your towel and also wait for it to dry up before going to bed

has worked for me but dont know how long to use it.its too expensive for regular use.

Pros:

Easy 3 step process. Benzoyl Peroxide treatment

Cons:

NOT worth the insane dollar amounts they try to charge when you can go to your local Target and buy the same 3 step products off the shelf for half the cost.

I am a disappointed and angry customer after trying the product based on their $20 trial system. Not even 3 weeks after I received my package, I had another charge on my debit card!! I was not even aware that I was being signed up for recurring shipments and that they kept my credit card information. I immediately called to stop the delivery, but they said it had already been shipped. That was 10 days ago and I still have no product on my doorstep so we'll see. Stick to your regular acne wash or visit a doctor, this product is an example of a mega marketing campaign that will probably fade away in the next couple years. For most people, benzoyl peroxide should be used very sparingly and not on the sensitive skin on your face. Use the drugstore systems, they have the same ingredients for half the cost!

Pros:

Very consistant with shipping product! Packaging looks nice!

Cons:

The stuff does not work. They over charge for their product.

They give you false hope. Leading you on.... oh it will work over time. It did not work, it was too expensive and when you call to complain ....oh we have another type that is stronger ....for more money...of course! Well why did'nt they suggest that 6 months earlier when I called in with concerns? I suggest if you have bad acne to go to a dermatlogist and get something that works.

Pros:

The only item that has ever worked for my skin. I am and just discovered I am allergic to salicylic acid and sulfur topical products. Proative 3 step program is all benzoyl peroxide, which saved my skin from 8 months of pure hell.

Cons:

Can be a little pricey, but worth it. I'd rather not have a lot of $ in my pocket then have a ton of acne on my face.

It worked and works for me, I'm a believer. After putting my face literally through 8 months of hell, of redness, peeling, tenderness, burning, etc. I love this product it has saved my face and my sanity! P.S. A little goes a long way people.

Pros:

This prodruct was affordable, it also started working within the first few days of application. Works really well to reduce redness.

Cons:

You have to be really be consistent or else it won't work. Can dry your skin out. Can be along process in the morning.

I tried Proactiv when I was younger but I wasn't consistent so it never worked for me. A few months ago my acne got really bad (Nodular Acne) so I decided to give it another shot. Ever since I have been using it morning and night very consistently it's been working amazing for me! If you find it makes your skin peel or you get irritated try using the repairing lotion only every second day.. But still use the cleanser and toner daily. Keep in mind that at first it will make you break out more, but keep using it... this is what the product does. Just keep being consistent and you will see results. If not their is a 60 day money back guarentee!
