Pros:

It actually works! their whole line get you results and blends together very well when using ,multiple products!

Cons:

They have too many to chose from, so one may get confused to what really works! ALso, they are a little overpriced in smaller bottles. but they are worth it!

I have used it for 6 years now and it has always worked! I started 6 years ago with the one most people know, the 3 step system! it worked immidiatley! I wou ld say in 2-3 weeks I saw a big enough clear up of everything going on. I kept using it for the next 3 years and NEVER has ONE breakout. Unfortunately I stopped using it for 2 years and suffered the consequences! After those 2 years I decided to give Neutrogena's SKIN ID a try(and that's a whole other review!) let's just say it DID NOT WORK! I am happily back to proactiv for almost 2 months now. This time I spent 200$ on pretty much everything they offer. IF anyone would like to read the individual reviews I will be doing so in each epcific category. I HAVE NOTICED IT TOOK LONGER THIS TIME TO WORK. The previous systems I tried last year made me break out for 3 months like I had never in my 25years! I am still trying to get rid of it. However, even though Proactiv has taken about 3-4 weeks this time to work. IT DOES!

Pros:

I have moderate acne and this product worked wonders for me. You have to use it at least twice a day at first to knock out the acne, but, after that I only use it once a day now. It never dried out my skin like other people have said it did.

Cons:

It doesn't knock out ALL of my pimples. Like another person said, I always have one or two pimples at all times. But, I'm satisfied and this is as good as it gets for me!

I was skeptical, but, this stuff really works! Ever since I've used Proactiv, I get a lot of comments about how "beautiful" I am now! I NEVER had that before. I personally think that a huge part of looking "beautiful" is having good skin, and this stuff does just that. It will make your skin look so much better. It will feel softer and smoother and the refining mask really does work overnight. You won't wake up pimple free the next day. But, it will definitely reduce inflammation and the pimple will be less noticable. I'm just so happy that I tried this product because it's done wonders for me. And, I definitely hope that the next person who reads this will give Proactiv a real try, because most likely you will be happy with the results. I consider myself a normal looking person, and my skin was not so great and Proactiv has changed all of that! So, the bottom line is that I love this stuff and it really works! If you do it consistently, you won't be disappointed!

Pros:

It makes your skin smooth and you feel refreshed. Also, my skin didn't feel dry at all.

Cons:

It made me have more pimples on my face and I woke up many mornings with huge red bumps on my forehead.

It doesn't work, I still have so many pimples on my face, if anything...Proactiv made my face worse. Don't use it!!

Pros:

Cleared my skin after 2 weeks! I also use the refining mask 3 times a week and the green tea moisturizer everyday. It really worked for me and iI was skeptical at first

Cons:

None

Works great, best product I have ever used! The green tea moisturizer works really well and helps to rehydrate your face. I recommend to everyone to atleast try it once.

Pros:

The cleanser is light and exfoliates well. It made it easier to get blackheads out of my skin. It made the pores on my cheeks smaller.

Cons:

It made my acne worse on the sides of my chin than it was before I started using the product. Made my skin extra dry.

I thought my skin was just stubborn, b/c the regular Proactive wasn't working and I was breaking out more. I switched to the Extra Strength, and I am currently miserable from that. My skin is so dry, I feel like it's going to split open. No matter how much moisturizer I use, it is just sucking it right up. I am having to hide my face from my friends and co-workers; I am so depressed over this. I have made a decision to STOP using this product and switch to Murad. I am going to try the Murad skin supplement pills and see if that helps bring my skin back to normal. I think from now on, just gentle cleansing and exfoliation is key. I don't recommend this product b/c the results are too unpredictable.

Pros:

nothing

Cons:

Dried my face out and made acne worse, also made my face very sensitive

i've tried everything, the astringent cleansers from wal mart in all honesty work better than the pro activ. It is NOT worth the money.

Pros:

Dries your sh*t out.

Cons:

Doesn't work too well. Constant applications and I still have acne. Not something I'd recommend. Try getting a tan and some air instead.

F**k it.
