Pros:

with time it took away most of the acne out of my face!!. I believe that using proactiv plus changing your eating habits contributed in reducing my acne to nearly gone status

Cons:

when i first tried it..it made my skin reddish pink as well as making my skin crack and dry.

before i wrote this review I gave proactiv a chance (2months and change) thus far it has not disappointed me. Although you will need a moisture to help deal with the dryness that does come with this product. If you're sensitive skin, as I am, please be aware that there is a possibility that you're might turn reddish but not to much. With given time the dryness and reddish colored complexion goes away as it will truly does leave you with clear skin in the end. I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!!!

Pros:

It works very well it always clears up my breakouts The mask works wonders!!

Cons:

Makes my face red and dry

The bad thing is that is makes my skin red, amd dry and it's pretty expensive and i didnt have money to by it once and I broke out so if you stop using it it will all come back the same if not worse!! and the toner smells kind of funny!

Pros:

kind of reduced acne a tad

Cons:

didn't really notice a huge difference, had major breakouts as soon as i didn't use it

i've been using this product for about 2 months now, and i haven't really noticed a huge difference in my acne, which is moderate to severe. there's been maybe a slight difference, but nothing noticeable. i do notice a slight difference the morning after using the refining mask, but by the end of the day, i'm right back at square one. and you can only use it every 2-3 days, so it's pretty useless. i'm thinking of giving it up and going back to neutrogena/clearsil when it runs out.

Pros:

Cleared up very minor acne. Face not as oily.

Cons:

Doesn't treat any acne stronger than very light. Toner stings a lot and drys out face significantly.

Proactive can help if you have very light acne but anything else will remain unaffected. It is constantly commercialized to be really amazing but in reality the chance of results are slim to none. The only Proactive product I have any faith in is the Refining mask. It is great for spot treatment, so if you're going to order from Proactive, the Refining mask is the only thing worth spending your money on.

Pros:

It works at first...

Cons:

stops working after a while. is expensive and you have to join the club.

i've tried this product off and on. It clears up my skin a little bit when i first use it, but so far it hasn't cleared my face completely. Its also really annoying to try to cancel your subscription to it.

I used Proactiv for 2 months with absolutely NO results, not even a little improvement. A total waste of money for me.
