Pros:

Once it started to work for me, it kept my face pretty clear.

Cons:

Dry, flaky skin. Too pricey.

For the first couple weeks I experienced irritated, itchy red skin. I was so miserable but I kept telling myself "it'll get better, just stick with it." I kept telling myself that for about 2 weeks, then the itching died down. I'm glad I listened. My skin has never been clearer (I've had acne from 13 years of age till before I started using Proactiv). The only big downside is the dry, flaky skin. It doesn't seem to go away unless I use a strong moisurizer (I use Eucerin, 10% urea...only because I can't find the Eucerin face cream). And if it weren't for the price then I wouldn't be looking for another solution. Otherwise, I'm happy with Proactiv but $65 for a kit is just too much (regardless of weather or not it lasts 2-3 months...I'm just cheap!).

Pros:

Smells good, pretty packaging, smoothed out my skin for the first week.

Cons:

A LOT more EXPENSIVE than most acne treatments, does not make acne disappear,my face turned red (not that I was allergic to it), my whole face. It ONLY smoothed my skin...and that's it! After my second week, my face was 3 times as worst.

You can try it if you want, but don't get disappointed.

Pros:

It helps stop break outs and helps clear up old ones.

Cons:

Makes your skin really tight.

Ive been using proactive for a few weeks I,m only 15 and have pretty bad break outs it works really well to clean up your face from acne but it doesn't help get rid of scars .

Pros:

the bottles are pretty

Cons:

It's too expensive,and it doesn't do anything. Actually, It made my face worst.

It might work for some people. But if you don't have a lot of money, don't risk it.

Pros:

Makes skin smooth, great if used 2 times a day every day

Cons:

I am allergic to Blue 1, one of the ingredients in the toner, so I cannot use that. I believe not using the whole system means I don't get the full power of it.

Alright.

Pros:

It's green.

Cons:

It didn't work! It's expensive. They make you a member of the "clear skin club" and they automatically send it to you every 3 months and charge it to your credit card.

Proactiv doesn't work, I went to a dermatologist and paid less for the visit and the antibiotic she prescribed than one order of Proactiv! My acne is cleared up, no thanks to Proactiv. It's not worth it.

Pros:

They will work with you to set up a delivery schedule.
You can purchase all the components together, or separately as needed.
Love the refining mask!

Cons:

Doesn't work as shown on the TV.
Cost is unsatisfactory.
Can irritate the skin.

I stuck with the system and definitely saw a decrease in the amount of acne I was getting. However, for the price I feel like I'm not entirely satisfied with the results and will be trying out Dan's system. Proactiv seems to work well for some people, but for me it seemed to only work semi-well and has plateaued. A tip - when using the toner, don't use too much or you'll turn your face a little red.
