Pros:

It's great. I only use the repair lotion and I only use it on my skin after I shower and my skin is still damp.

Cons:

The astringent and the scrub are too strong for sensitive skin.

I have used them all and this is the only one that works. The repair lotion feels great on your skin. I am eternally greatful for this product.

Pros:

I guess my pores look smaller and alot of the tiny bumps are gone

Cons:

its not stopping new pimples from forming

Its making the overall texture of my skin better. Its not doing anything to keep new pimples from coming. The little bumps I had all over are going away. I am still developing new pimples on my jaw line and cheecks.

Pros:

Nice look?

Cons:

Smell bad doesn't really work

I used this product for about 4 months with no results of clear glowing skin like they say it would do in the commercials. It really was a waste of money and it didn't help at all.

Pros:

It works great.

Cons:

have to really be consistant using every morning and night

This product works great for me. Maybe the reason there are so many complaints regarding red and itchy and burnt skin is that the regular formula is too harsh for their skin. I too had the same problem and tried their sensitive formula. You have to order by phone. This works just as well and I have not had any problems with red, itchy, and burnt skin since.

Pros:

Easy to use, pretty standard 3 step treatment.

Cons:

It made my acne worse. I was just trying to get rid of a few breakouts around my hairline. Now I am constantly getting a ton of little white zits on my nose and chin that I never had before and are much more noticeable than what I was trying to fix!

From what I've seen, it works great for people with really bad acne. If you just have light acne, it is not for you - everyone who was at the same level of "moderate acne" as me seems to have the same problem with getting much worse acne after using Proactiv.

Pros:

Eliminated 95% of my acne within 1 week. Skin feels softer then ever now!!

Cons:

Does dry out face a little, but with a good moisturizer, it's easy to keep soft and smooth!

Works great, I'm so excited to have smooth skin again. I've always had large pores and bad blackheads. I feel 10 years younger now!! Love it! I didn't buy mine through the proactiv company. Check on [link removed], you can get much larger quantities for the same price as on [link removed]. I get 6 ounces of the cleanser and toner, 3.5 ounces of repairing lotion, 16 ounces of the deep cleansing body wash, and 2.5 ounces of the refining mask on auto delivery for only $49.68! At proactiv you would only get 4 ounces and no body wash for that price!! I'm hooked!

Pros:

Works great for a few years. The first time I used it at age 16 it cleared up my moderate almost overnight, literally. It was amazing.

Cons:

Incredibly expensive. Works only if you continue to use it.

I think this is a good product but you can't stop using it. It worked amazingly for me for 2 years. Once I stopped for 2 years and started again it never worked the same way. It is just so expensive. Overall, though, it has been the best product I have used for my moderate acne which it still a daily issue for me. If you can afford continual use I recommend it.
