Pros:

Clears up skin and keeps it clear! Face feels as soft and smooth as it did when I was a kid!

Cons:

Don't have any!

GREAT product. I have very moderate acne so can't speak for everyone, but this has kept my face clean for months. No other product has done the same. I have extremely sensitive skin and this was very gentle for me, unlike other products I tried.

Pros:

Will clear out your face within 2 weeks and dry your pimples.

Cons:

It doesn't bring out the promise of CLEAR skin. costs too much and false advertising.

It works good for the first few weeks but then on the long run it would just ruin your face.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Too harsh on the skin. I have very oily skin and Proactive dries out the skin so badly that if you stop, the breakouts are 10x worse (according to my dermatologist).

Don't buy Proactive! For $60.00 you can purchase Dr. Murad's skin care system and it will last for almost 8 months!!! (Dr Murad's system can be purchased it salons) You will also get better results.....

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Dries out skin and causes flaking.
Seems to have very little effect at all, if anything I've been noticing more whiteheads since I started using.

It's a big three part treatment, The watery astringent-like bottle tends to run out sooner than the other two so you are left with two bottles (The grainy stuff and the lotion). I've been using it once daily during and after having a shower, and all it's seemed to have accomplished is drying out my face to the point where skin flakes off in some spots, I'd hate to see what would happen if I tried twice daily. I recently got my second months' shipment of Proactiv, if I don't see an improvement by the end of this month I'm trying something else.

Pros:

- smells quiet good
- after about a month, redness went down and a couple of pimples

Cons:

- caused new breakouts between uses
- one bottle will run out eventually, so your left with 2 which is unequal and won't work
-

i suppose it really depends on your skin it will work for such white heads but no for severe, spots / scars and such

Pros:

Works for some people

Cons:

Only cleared the acne from my nose and forehead. My chin and cheeks got worse.

It doesn't do all that it says it does for everyone. I've got friends that it works great for, but not me.

Pros:

Clears up acne very well after about 2 months of using it consistently, if you continue the steps, your skin will stay clear.

Cons:

it only worked for me for about 2 years, after that my acne came back full blown and the only thing that Proactive did was dry out my skin terribly.

proActiv worked extremely well for me for the first 2 years as long as I used it consistently and did all 3 steps. For the 3rd year however proActive has not worked and my Acne has gotten bad. I have continued using it through the year hoping that it would start to work again but i realized that it was just making my skin worse. I stopped cold turkey and my skin cleared beautifully for 3 glorious weeks. Unfortunatly, my acne has returned to plague me.

Pros:

none

Cons:

made my skin greasy, oily feeling and yet once all the oil was off my skin was dry, it didn't clean my skin, it made it peel, made it red

this stuff just did NOT agree with my skin. I wouldn't tell you not to buy it because we all have different skin types and textures but I really did not like it. It wasn't worth my money but it may work great for you. I have oily,combination skin. Whiteheads, blackheads, and lots of tiny bumps and it didn't work much for me. I used it for 1 month and a half.

Pros:

works well totatly clear skin:) i love their products

Cons:

unfortunately it makes my face red and can bleach clothes

its worth it to some extent i believe they should make larger bottles if they didn't spend the 4 million dollars on paying celebrities to do infomercials they could focus on acne research and product enhancement :)
