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!

Pros:

It made my skin smoother and reduce my acne a lot.

Cons:

If I don't use it for a few days, acnes starts to grow again and my face feels dry.

Basically you got to keep using it for it to work. What a scam.... Drop the freaking price down, you greedy bastards.

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:

The Refining Mask. Cleanser and Toner

Cons:

the Repairing Lotion made my skin irritated. BUT you have to get your skin use to it by applying it twice a week at night and then gradually increase the usage.

ALTHOUGH, it made my skin very irritated at first... you have to "train" your skin to cope with the BP (repairing lotion) then my skin had no more irritation. but be aware you might be allergic to BP. and probably when others use it they put TOO much BP it says on the bottle a dime sized amount But the sales person at the mall told me to use less than that for the first week or two until you get use to it.

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.
