Pros:

It worked amazing for the first couple weeks. It completely cleared my skin.

Cons:

After a couple of weeks of clear skin, for some reason, i started breaking out again. It stopped working for me, so I stopped using it, and went to AcneFree which has been giving me good results.

It is a good product, but I don't think it is the right product for me. I would still recommend it though because it works for a lot of other people.

Pros:

I know other people it worked very well for.

Cons:

It did not work for me or my sister. I used it for a while hoping the advertisements were true, but for me, they were not. I had to get presriptions from a dermatologist before I saw any improvement in my skin.

Did not work for me, and it was a huge waste of money.

Pros:

The toner always ,made my face feel fresh and clean! The mask also seemed to work very well.

Cons:

The product seemed to dry out my skin alot. The lotion did not help. My face was very itchy while i was using it.

This product seemed to work at first, however i never saw signifigant improvement. After about eight months of using this stuff it stopped working altogather and even seemed to make things worse!

Pros:

Repairs damaged skin

Cons:

Does not in any way prevent breakouts... The repairing lotion only made my acne worse so I actually stopped using that. PRICE

Give it a try but do not expect amazing results. It is an over priced and over hyped product. If you have very oily skin, I recommend using Clean%Clear Persa Gel instead of the proactiv's repairing lotion.

Pros:

It got rid of minor breakouts fast and healed zits faster than any other product I have tried it also left my skin feeling very smooth and it smelled great =D

Cons:

It gave me scars and if I ever touched a zit it turned bright red for about a day. I also found that it does not prevent breakouts.

It does work but not as well as the ads prove. I don't break out as much as I used to but if I ever miss a day my face looks terrible. However my aunt uses proactiv and her face is always perfectly clear, I think the results depend on the person. Also I think it gave me a lot of blackheads. But overall I DO think it's worth it.

Pros:

Makes your skin smooth right after you use it...

Cons:

After a while it's like your skin is immune to it and it stops working... I got more acne scars... I think my skin has gotten oiler since I've been using it... and step one irrates my skin after using it.

Overall, it's okay for a while then once your skin becomes "immune" to the acne treatment, it would either get better or get worse. And it still leaves your skin with tons of dirt after you use it. I'm just disappointed.

there are no;

Cons:

dry,red,skin.

i am only 14 and just going into high school. i had no severe pimples and decided to use proactive to clear my pimples. guess where that got me ? red, bumpy skin. i used it for a week, and stopped because i didn't like the results, and once a i stopped my face turned into horror. i am going to a doctor, but don't use it unless your willing to do it every day and night. & waiting patiently for the results.
