Pros:

I have only used it for about 2 weeks...it makes my skin soft

Cons:

It is making my face break out (people told me it has to get worse before it gets better)!

I think it may work...it is costly and I don't like being stuck in something I cannot get out of (the "club") and having my card charged monthly for me...nope, I like the freedom of paying it on my own!

Pros:

none I can remember!

Cons:

didn't work, expensive, irritated blemishes, dried my skin so much it was painful and began cracking open

overpriced, and it actually made my acne much worse. I didn't think such a thing was possible.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

It didn't help my acne - it actually made it worse. It burns when you use it, it burns when you go into the sun, and it causes redness. It also bleaches some died fabrics. I thought it was terrible.

I used it for two months and my acne was worse the entire time. After I stopped using it, my face returned to its normal, mild acne.

Pros:

Clears acne & softens skin

Cons:

Can cause redness & drying if used as directed

I'm 23 with mild acne, have VERY sensitive skin and can't use most acne products. Proactiv is excellent at clearing acne quickly and is relatively gentle. I use the entire system, although only at night (and I found the clay mask that's included too drying so I don't use it). When I used it twice daily, I found my skin became a little irritated. So, in the morning I now use Oil of Olay's Foaming Cleanser for sensitive skin (because that line is awesome, but doesn't clear acne) and my skin is smooth and clear. I've used Proactiv for about two months and have never had such good results with a product line. Very encouraging! Try the line, but know your own skin, and adjust the usage accordingly!

Pros:

None

Cons:

I used this product and kept with it for a couple months but it had very little effect on my acne. It burns your skin if u use a little bit too much, so if you use it only use very little.

This product is not worth the time or money and I suggest using something else, especially if you have sensitive skin like I do.

Pros:

T-zone wasn't as oily.

Cons:

Skin was NEVER clear. I always had to have the product on hand because if I went a day or two without it my skin was oily and I'd break out. Then it just stopped working and I ended up with even more pimples.

Do not waste your time. Do not buy, it is not worth it.

Pros:

Clears small breakouts

Cons:

Cracks and dries up the skin terribly
Smells awful
Expensive

I ordered Proactiv about a month ago and I am sending mine back for a refund. It immediately cleared up small breakouts I had on my forehead, yet I continue to get pimples on my nose and cheeks. The Repairing Lotion states that use only once a day to prevent excessive dryness - I only used it once a day and my face can't get enough moisture! I stopped using the system because my face was dry and cracked, and I'd much rather suffer from a few occasional pimples that cracked skin. I was getting better results when I had been using exposed acne treatment system but as I couldn't afford it, I stopped and switched over to proactiv. Now I have decided to either switch back to exposed or do a daily exfoliation, use a toner with glycolic acid, and oil-free moisturizing, and acne treatment with salicytic acid instead of benzoyl perocide.

Pros:

My face was very clear when I was using this product. I didn't have many problems before I started but it made my skin even better.

Cons:

After my product ran out and I wasn't using it anymore, my face started to get severly dry and flaky.

Now I am wondering if I am stuck with this dry skin forever because no form of moisturizer seems to be working!
