Pros:

Smells great...the Repairing Lotion and the Refining Mask are great...dont like the cleanser as it dries out the skin too much...

Cons:

Cleanser should be milder....dries out face too much....I've developed a darker tone on my face than on my neck..anyone else? not too noticeable...but one can tell....

Try it...works for some not for others....I called customer service and they said its really targeted for teenagers and adults up to the age of 22 or 23...if you're over 25 try something else....

Pros:

Clears skin, Works!

Cons:

Refining mask smells a little.

Proactiv solutions works well on my skin, and I must say, I do have sensitive. But I've been using it once a day, only at night, and it works just fine, that way you won't dry out your skin. You have to be patient while using this product, because for me, it took 4 weeks to see results, and other people, it may take more or less. And I was patient, and I do see a big improvement in my skin, and it looks a lot better. It also makes your skin feel clean. =]

Pros:

Fades blemishes and dark spots left behind after a pimple in addition to help clear acne. Also makes skin look healthier and younger over all.

Cons:

Doesn't completely rid face from pimples.

I am 35 and have light acne on my chin and ocasionally elseware. For me this is a good product. I could see where it may not be for everyone. But I definately ssee an extreme difference in my skin overall. My skin looks like it did in the my mid 20's and this produsct really reduces the redness and dark spots from acne. You barely notice that I have acne anymore!

Pros:

Helped clear up my acne, easy to use.

Cons:

Made my skin very dry for the first week.

I wasnt expecting much when I ordered proactiv- Just basically expecting to make good use of their 60day money back guarantee. For the first week I hated it. My skin was dry and flaky& I got 5 HUGE pimples, hurt (and felt) like blind pimples but I could pop them.. I was horrified. However what I did was reduce the amount that I was using - with the cleanser I rubbed it over my face GENTLY, I have a feeling I was so used to foaming cleansers I just automatically rubbed hard when i first started. I also reduced the amt of reparing lotion I was using to about the size of two peas. I have also started using a face mask I read about on Dans message board(egg white and lemon-do a search! it really works!) and after about 3 weeks my skin was near perfect. I have never had such great skin since I was about 11 years old-I'm now 21. For the price - I don't see why people say it's so expensive, I once bought Leaf and Rusher cleanser for $60! I recommend it if youve tri

Pros:

Got rid of a sudden breakout. I tried Aveeno, Noxema, and Cetaphil and the pimples didn't go away until I used the ProActiv

It worked wonders for my "unknown cause", sudden acne. The products really isn't that expensive considering you can get a shipment every 16-20 weeks @ $42.00 ...which is about how long my supply lasts.

Pros:

It works! Cleared up my acne in the first couple weeks!!

Cons:

None so far except if you don't use mosturizer it dries up your skin.

Works very well if you have mild acne. At first it brings the acne to the surface but that is only for about a week-two weeks. After that all my acne cleared up and i feel great about myself!!

Pros:

Makes skin very soft, helps with skin consistancy

Cons:

their acne formula is very over drying, works well for a little while but then causes redness, irritation, peeling, etc.

I do not have acne, but rather I get a few zits here and there every so often. I get greasy and red, though, and so I cancelled my proactive to switch to one of their other lines. I used Proactive's clear skin formula, which is for people like me whose acne is gone, but want to keep it that way. I reccommend usig their benozyl peroxide treatment to stop your acne, and once it is gone, switch to clear skin formula, it is milder and is to maintain clear skin, not to fight acne on skin that doesnt have acne any more.

Pros:

Gets rid of pimples. For those with oily skin, the daily moisturizer is the ONLY thing I have EVER used that really stops my face from being so oily at the end of the day.

Cons:

The facial cleaner doesnt clean that great, i guess thats what the astringent is supposed to do (2nd step). The 3rd step does burn a bit. The mask does not clear up pimples overnight as touted-- other clay-based face masks I've used do a lot better.

It worked. But it took approximately 2 months to begin seeing results. Pimples did significantly go away though.

Pros:

worked great on whiteheads and made my skin soft. Didn't dry my skin, but I have oily skin. Toner is great and doesn't burn, overall condition of my skin did improve.

Cons:

bleaches fabrics your face comes in contact with (pillowcases, tshirt necklines), doesn't work well to get rid of blackheads, cleanser is better as an exfoliant - doesn't remove makeup well.

It's a great product to try, but be careful about what fabrics your face comes into contact with. The repairing lotion can and will rub off and discolor fabrics, even when dry, but especially if you sweat. It took a while for the discoloration to appear, so I think it was a gradual process, but the fabric was permanently damaged (bleached) at that point. If the product dries your skin out, try using the lotion only every other day. I find it's still effective this way and reduces drying. Same with the cleanser, as it has the exfoliants, it can cause dryness and peeling with sensitive skin. The price is great, the products do last several months.
