Pros:

I couldn't find any.

Cons:

Too harsh for my skin.

HATE this product. Before all the proactive hype a few of my friends tried it and said it worked really well and swears by it. I tried it recently and it was way too harsh for my skin. It left my face looking red too. I will never use this again.

Pros:

It goes away

Cons:

It comes back very quick and it stings and it made my acne worse and i dont want to go into public unless it clears

No dont buy it it dries up your face. the refining mask works the first time and it feels good on face ♥ but it doesnt work after that

Pros:

it helped a little, does not irritate skin, feels nice on, smells kind of nice.

Cons:

SO many steps, doesnt get rid of all acne, once i got rid of it i REALLY broke out. so i suggest u dont use it.

just stay away...why use it to find out it doesnt work well and then brake out because the product you used that didnt work...caused you to break out..

Pros:

the price is good and it's advertised by celebrities

Cons:

dries and burns your skin the refining mask takes 2 weeks to shrink one pimple and it leaves your skin looking red and oily

proactive doesn't work at all. Don't waste your money on this terrible product. The refinig mask did the exact opposite of what was promised and instead of me waking up to see my pimples smaller if not gone I woke up to see them red and pretty much worse than before. The renewing cleanser made my skin peel and the repairing toner made my skin greasy. Once again don't waste your money on proactive because even though many celebrities CLAIM that it worked wonders on their skin they're all getting paid to say that.

Pros:

- cleared up my acne in almost 3 weeks
- i have combination skin and it worked well for me.
- pretty much affordable

Cons:

- the scent is a little bad, it takes getting used to
- causes my overall skin to look red
- the scars are there, redder than ever, it actually looks like pimples. but it's not.

proactiv works if you give it a little time, generally here in the caribbean the climate is hot so the bp in the product tends to irritate skin during the day. I've used at least 10 acne products, including differen, murad, clear active, clean and clear, neutrogena, diane 35, atibiotics, clearasil. and proactiv is the only thing that agrees with my skin, the sking lightening lotion SUCKS. and my marks are still there, but i cover that up with makeup , i'm just glad the bumps aren't there. if there's something that works just as well to get rid of the bumps but with less redness for more or less the same price, let me know!

Pros:

well it kept new zits from appearing fro the first few weeks but the old ones stayed. my skin was very smooth though and no longer shiney. i used the reg formula but switching to extra strength.

Cons:

the system is too much to do every dy twice a day, didnt clear deep blemishes or black head even after two months. not enough in each bottle, u have to use like a little drop when u need more, a lot more

it did improve my skin but not up to expectations. but ill see how the ES works. so basically it did help a lot and im pretty happy with it, better than anyhting i've ever used.

Pros:

Three step method is easy to follow and readily available. Cleared up painful adult acne relatively fast.

Cons:

I am more prone to white heads and deep, deep pimples.

I will continue to use it. I have used the system for about a year and a half and I like it well enough.

Pros:

never get cystic pimples, evens skin color, reduces pimples

Cons:

if you miss a treatment=breakout,causes odd little bumps

Is a good product, but if you miss a treatment face will start breaking out. You must stay consistant with it.

Pros:

Works for a while, didn't dry my skin. Didn't make my acne worse

Cons:

It works on and off, takes along time to work, didn't work that well, i hated the toner.

it worked when i had mild acne, but i didn't notice the difference until a year later when i couldn't afford it. than my acne went kableooy! now i have like slightly severe acne! Use it. only if you can afford it. Use Mary Kay!
