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.

i wont ever use it again, do a test spot on a hidden area for a few days before you use it on your face. i work w/ the public everyday and all day long for two days i listened to people say "omg what happened to your face"

Pros:

Works at first, takes away redness, and leaves face feeling clean.

Cons:

Stops working after using it for awile, leaves fase very dry and flaky, makes face irrated, does not work for everyone.

I have used this product off and on for a couple of years and only see results in the begining. It leaves my face very flaky and red. It does clear acne but does not stop acne so in the end it is pointless.

Pros:

Clears and prevents breakouts, does clear blackheads (but it takes awhile).

Cons:

Quite drying, so I only use it a few times a week.

Good product if you're willing to deal with some burning and stinging. If your acne isn't terribly severe, I definitely wouldn't use it twice a day, or even everyday. But all in all, the product works well.
