Pros:

dried my oily skin, worked well for a while

Cons:

stopped working

I suffer from SUPER oily skin...I used proactiv from the time I was probably 10 until I turned 14. Since I started using it so early, I never noticed that my face was oily...because the product controlled that. Unfortunately, in July 2007 it randomly stopped working. My skin broke out a lot..so I went to the dermatologist and she told me that for a lot of people it randomly will stop controlling their acne problems. She gave me different medicines and my face is all cleared up...problem to conquer next, the oily skin. I mainly think it kept oil at bay because of those scratchy bead things in the cleanser...they felt SO good on my skin and for a while that was the only way my skin felt clean...and the toner was good, especially if I felt even the least bit of shine during the day I could whip it out and put some on. I will have to mention this to my doc!

Pros:

pulls all the dirt out of the pores

Cons:

Skin seems like it gets worse.

Im confused to see if my skin is going to get completely clear. It seems that ProActive is never done... My skin keeps pushing out the clogged pores. Ive heard some nasty rumors that ProActive damages your skin after longterm use. I want to continue using the product to get the best results, but im not sure if the product isn't over doing it on my skin. I have never had acne, but do have blackheads and clogged pores.

Pros:

The mask is the only thing that helps, but even then it barely helps.

Cons:

The amount paid is overkill for the results. It dries out the skin severely, which caused a worse breakout. And, for me the scars never went away, even with the lotion.

Witch Hazel works better, and it's only $3 at the store, plus it does not dry out your skin. I got fed up with Pro Activ so I stopped using it a few days ago, and then started using Witch Hazel- and the day after my skin started regaining it's moisture, and the pimples were going away.

Pros:

I guess its working when I put on the moisturizer it stings a bit.

Cons:

Umm I actually had a major breakout after only using for a week..Is that supposed to happen.

Use it if you feel like youre at your wits end. I think its affordable but if I have to keep buying it then I would much rather go pay a visit to a dermatologist.

Pros:

Makes you feel god about using something that's "supposedly" used by celebrities

Cons:

DOES NOT WORK

BEsides the terrible smell and horrible breakouts it causes, it's still a terrible product. I've had acne for about 2 years and thought this would cure it. Well...i didn't. It works at first and then makes you breakout like crazy. And, yes the refining mask is a good product, but You have to use it everyday just for the pimple to get unnocibly smaller. It does not stop zits. It just dries your skin, which they think amkes your pimples appear smaller. It doesn't. The people on tv lied. They retouched the pictures and wore make-up in the commercial. Do NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!

Pros:

It helps clear your acne after three weeks of using it.

Cons:

It irritates your skin a lot, it becomes extremely oily anf flaky, uneven,and the worse thing is that acne is never gone.

With Proactiv Solutions breakouts will dissapear for a few months but your skin will be so damaged because of Benzoyl Peroxide, which is too strong. Oveall, I recommendo Murad Ane Complex, because it works and it really makes your skin healthy without irritating it.

Pros:

I have less breakouts after I started using it. I used to need BP 10% over my T-zone which is very drying and causes my skin to be red, but now I only need to spot-treat with BP 10% with an applicator.

Cons:

It dried out my skin around my chin, so now I only use it on the oily parts of my face (T-zone), and that works well.

It works well in combination with spot treatment with a stronger BP cream (I use Clearasil). I skip the cleanser because I want to avoid susceptibility to sun damage - caused by BP in areas that are not oily, and daily microdermabrasion, whose particles are too coarse than what I use normally.
