Pros:

everything about it (except maybe the price!) i am shocked about all the negativity! started to work the very 1st night i used it, and every day got better and better! now my skin is so clear and smooth!

Cons:

the salycilic acid "spot stick" is a waste of time! i got it free with my pack as a promotion, and it does nothing and dries out after a few days! useless! glad i didnt pay for it! but everything else is amazing, would be good a bit cheaper though!!

if you have the patience and the discipline to do it at night...it works! i use the cleanser, toner and repairing cream at night, and a wipe in the morning (so the creams last longer and to save time) and it works fantastically for me! at the end of the day, if you REALLY want to have clear skin, you'll have the discipline to use it every night! i have even skipped a few nights while i had forgotten it while staying at friends houses and just used regular face wipes, and it made no difference to my skin AT ALL! maybe i will try using it every other night to save money, but all in all i enjoy the whole experience as i am so girly and love pampering myself!

Pros:

Great product! Great Results! only 30 days!

Cons:

So expensive (in Italy 59.90€)

I love Proactiv! I had acne for 5 years on my shoulders, pet and back. In Italy there is only the Gentle Formula (with salicylic acid and retinol instead of BP). After 30 days, using 3 step kit morning and night, my acne is COMPLETELY clear and my spots are gone!! And I had severe acne with papules and cysts and red spots..I love it!

I can't think of any...

This is the best acne medication out there today. I suggest this to ANYONE that is looking for the answer they have been searching for since they hit puberty. I am in my mid 20's and had acne from age 13-22. Acne is gone forever! Thank you Proactiv!

Pros:

it DOES clear your skin in a matter of 1 day.It gives you a clean feel to your skin after you go through all the steps.

Cons:

if you dont have terrible skin i would NOT use the toner. it makes your skin peel and irritated.

you should buy this product. its worth the money. go threw all the steps EXCEPT the toner.Use it everynight instead of 2 times a day if you have gentle skin.

Pros:

I just bought this stuff off the website, and it works better than ANT ance medication ive ever used. i had mild acne before (pimples here and there, blackheads) and its left my skin feeling much softer, redness and discoloration is gone!

Cons:

it takes TWO weeks to start working (so the sales rep said) and i use the 5 step method ..which isnt the easiest thing to apply on a friday night when your tired from going out

it works.. ONLY if you follow the 5/6 step regime: 1)cleanser OCCASIONALLY) refining mask, im leaving it on pimples when i go to sleep 2)toner 3)oil control (apply a really thin layer everywhere) 4)refining lotion (to problem areas like your blackheads, t-zone...) 5) oil free moisturizer (spf 15 stops any possible sun irritation or burning) it works like a charm and clear skin really does boost up your confidence, i stoppped using foundation and skin makeup 2 weeks into it ..which is a great feeling!

Pros:

It does work

Cons:

kinda smells like old people, makes the skin a little dry, Pain in the ass 3 steps

I'm 28 yrs. old and have tried everything over the counter and prescription lots of it worked and lots of it didn't. This stuff works!!! You must use it directly as told!!!!!!! Wash for one min. with only damp skin not wet... if you can feel the little granules it is cleaning. I don't use a cotton ball for the toner, just a little in the hand and rub it in. Just a pea size amount or so of the repairing lotion and you are good 2x a day. (USE THE REFINING MASK AT LEAST 2X A WEEK) and it can be used as a spot treatment. The spf lotion in this line is really good. I would give this product about 6 weeks and if you don't see huge improvements you probably aren't going to with this. I still get monthly period breakouts but nothing major. This is good stuff. Makes my skin feel so good no more chicken feeling skin!!!! Cost about $5.00 a week not to bad

Pros:

gets rid of acne and leaves you with model looking skin.makes you feel refreshed. does not dry out skin

Cons:

slightly expensive. after the first week, acne comes back because the cleanser is getting rid of the dirt under the skin

I used to be made fun of for my "pizza face" in school. now people compliment me on my skin. i gave some to my friend because she gets the occasional pimple and oily T-zones, and now we both have soft, clear, healthy looking skin.

Pros:

clear skin. convenient. easy to use. fast results.

Cons:

bleaching of bath mat from toner? and shirt that I sleep in.

I did many prescription acne products and all of them were too harsh. I couldn't get waxed or it took too long and required daily application. If you have mild acne proactiv is good. My pores clear up totally truly breaking down the nasty stuff. It makes my skin look like I came out of a sauna. I didn't know any medication could work this well. But I don't need to use it everyday. It's more like 3 times a week every week. If you use it very often or too much of it I would imagine it would get less effective over time.

Pros:

Since I was a young girl I have had terrible redness and small persistent pimples that would never go away. I have used proactiv for one month and they are gone! My skin feels so much smoother and I am no longer embarrassed about blemishes :)

Cons:

My face went very dry, but I carried a moisturizer around with me and it went away within days! It is a little pricey for a student but I was spending nearly as much every month trying different products that weren't working.

I'm very satisfied with this product. I have more confidence because I no longer have to think about whether or not I have a pimple because I don't! My skin feels great and the tone has evened out, it even helped with my rosacea! Be sure to use it consistently and read the labels and be sure that you know what you are doing, twice a day everyday and it will work :)
