Pros:

None

Cons:

Expensive

I used ProActiv for 6 months when I was 18 and had no results with moderate acne. I tried ProActiv again when I was 23 and just had occasional breakouts and still had no results. This product is not worth the price. I have been using tee tree oil and it is working great. Do not waste your money.

Pros:

If your face is oily, it will definitely dry it out.

Cons:

It dries out your face REALLY bad. It left my face looking more red, irritated and blotchy than before. I still have the acne, too.

I used this product twice a day for 6 months. All it did was dry out my skin to the point that it cracked and bled. Even moisturizer didn't help. I used the mask maybe once a week, so I don't know if that was causing it to dry out as bad as it did, but either way, it was a waste of money for me.

Makes your skin feel smoother.

Cons:

Doesn't help acne at all...which is what it was trying to sell.

A really expensive temporary skin softener.

Pros:

The Green Tea Moisturizer is pretty good.

Cons:

It dried out my skin SO horribly. I suspect what did it was either the toner or the Repairing Mask. It didn't work at all. It made my skin much worse, and I only broke out on my forehead before using it, and it caused me to break out elsewhere.

It sucks. It's so bad. It doesn't work on more severe acne, and I imagine if you just had light acne, you'd have your skin horribly dried out and ruined. Don't use it! Instead use Burt's Bees! It works miracles!

Pros:

It ships to my house on time and every month. It didn't dry out my skin.

Cons:

It bleaches fabrics (like most benzoyl peroxide). It does nothing for blackheads or whiteheads, and only helps a little bit with pustules.

This product just doesn't measure up. I could see it working for people that might have a pimple every month or so, but it does nothing for those of us with constant acne. I've used it for over a year. It has done nothing for the whiteheads and blackhead I have. I'm going to keep trying different treatments.

Pros:

It's easy to use, and works SOMETIMES

Cons:

It dries out my skin, It's not worth what you pay, It's harsh on sensitive skin, it seems to not work during the summer, and makes my skin even oilier!

...It sucks. My opinion is, since i'm a teenager, is that it doesn't work for us. I've read some reviews on here, and it seems to work for older people. It may work for them, but not for teenagers...

Pros:

To be honest the only pro was getting my shipment pretty fast

Cons:

The portions are horrible, the smell is annoying, the cleanser feels uncomfortable to place on your face.

I bought my product back in 2001 and I used it for months to almost a year. Trust me washing "religiously" and being "patient" has nothing to do with this product working or not. To be frank this product doesn't work. I broke out worse. Now I went from Moderate acne to Severe instantly using this product and still am struggling with it.
