My acne wasn't that bad. I think it was just regular teenage pimples. I know a few girls who used this treatment and it worked AMAZINGLY, and their acne was way worse than mine, so I figured it would work on my "mild" acne HAHA I used it and saw results within about three weeks... then soon after that my face broke out worse than it ever had before. and it has never gotten better. I have spent my time since then trying to repair the damage it has done to my face and the severe acne it has caused. I even get acne under my chin and on my cheeks which never happened. I know it works for some people but if you don't have serious acne... I wouldn't reccommend it

Cons:

The "guaranteed refund" is a farce.

I bought the product at a kiosk at a mall. When I looked at the package, it turned out that it had benzoyl peroxide, which I cannot use. I called Proactiv for a refund. They told me I had to call the kiosk owner. I had to go back to the mall to get the number off the kiosk. When I called that number, they told me it was past 60 days, so no refund, even though the product was unopened. I also called Proactiv back, and they also refused to give a refund.

Works well for the first few weeks, skin feels smoother and softer.

Does not work after that, stop using it and skin is more oily, more painful pimples, flaky and rough.

Don't go for this treatment.

Pros:

Makes face feel really good. Very good for mild acne.

Cons:

Stopped working after awhile.

Worked really well when I was on birth control bills and acne was not severe. Once off birth control, my acne was awful and Proactiv was almost useless. I'd recommend it if you have mild acne. If you have more severe acne, it isn't worth the money.

Pros:

Made skin soft, slightly controlled outbreaks

Cons:

Irritated skin, made it very dry (sometimes red), occasionally made outbreaks worse.

I used the system (I also used the face mask once or twice a week) and it was too much for my face. I have extremely sensitive skin, so I would recommend that if other people have really sensitive skin, they avoid this or use great care to avoid irritating their face. It would give me a red "flush" and would often make outbreaks worse. Only sometimes would it actually help. Probably the only real pro about it was that right after washing it would make my skin baby soft (that was cool at least). Since then I am trying other things in hope of making my face clear. From other people I have heard and seen mostly positive things out of using this product, however, so I can't say that the majority of people would encounter problems like mine.
