Pros:

Clears up acne

Cons:

Dries skin

Very good products.I had a lot of painful pimples around my jawline and on my chin and now they're drying out. My my skin texture is overall bumpy but now its smoother. The blackheads on my nose are making their way out. I love the cleanser, love the toner, but be careful with the repairing lotion. Make sure to only apply it thinly to the affected areas. I put it all over my face but put too much under my chin and got raw and red. Its better after a couple days of moisturizer.

Pros:

It really cleared up my skin right away when I first starting using the products and have only had problems when I skip a couple days. I've been using this product for over 9 years.

Cons:

The cleanser runs out before everything else and I have to buy extra bottles of it (it comes in a 3 pack on the website or at the mall).

It works great for me. It's a little expensive, especially since I buy extra bottles of cleanser every six months or so, but I figure it is worth it if it keeps my skin clear. Make sure you use the oil free moisture to keep your skin from drying out. Again, I've been using Proactiv for over 9 years, so something must be working, but try it for yourself.

Pros:

Non irritating. Does not Dry Out Skin. Skin cleared up in less than 2 weeks.

Cons:

I wish the bottles were screw on and off lids with flip tops, so you could easily refill travel size bottles for trips.

This is a great product! I have tried everything imaginable for my acne from prescription products to over the counter and this is by far the BEST. I am keeping my fingers crossed my acne does not become immune to Proactive as it always does with other products. I would recommend this product to anyone suffering from light - severe acne. I would have purchased it months ago, but did not like the fact you had to purchase via television or mail and they automatically signed you up to receive more, automatically taking money out of your bank account. I buy mine in the mall.

Pros:

got rid of my acne and acne scars, and blackheads are now gone. diminished all of my clogged pores, smoothed out my complexion and bumpy skin

Cons:

the toner burns for the first 4 days but then you get used to it
dry /flaky skin [but this is resolved by a good moisturizer ^-^]

my acne was light/moderate, and the acne & acne scars i got was really aggravating. then my rich cousin showed up at my door saying she got me proactiv. i was really skeptical at first but then i said oh what the heck, might as well, you know? nothing to lose. my skin is oily and sensitive, yet i experienced no redness from proactiv. the kind of acne i had was whiteheads, blackheads and small bumps. basically i didnt get cysts. after 1 week, my mom noticed that my acne was gone . i was so happy! the only thing that made me mad was the flaky skin it caused, but that was quickly resolved when i used aloe moisturizer from the mario badescu skin care line [a little pricey but it works.] so basically if you try proactiv, MAKE SURE to have a good moisturizer. cuhz not all moisturizers will work.. i had flaky skin for a couple days and it wasnt resolved by my usual olay moisturizer, sadly T.T; i think you should really try it. if you follow the regimen strictly then you W

Pros:

i started to see results immediatley and it kept my face not COMPLETELY clear, but clear fo the most part.

Cons:

you start to break out if you go a day without using it, and to see results, you have to use the products together

I really like proactive. I've been using it for about 4 years and i use it twice a day. I have really oily skin, so i've recently started using the daily oil control and i can really tell a difference. My face still has a little oil but not near as much.

Pros:

The cleanser makes your skin super soft, the toner isn't harsh and watery, it actually has a bit of a milky/creamy sense to it, though not overwhelmingly so, and the lotion is gentle.

Cons:

You have to order the products, you can't just run to the store to pick it up when it runs out. The cost is also a bit more than some other products.

Try it! It may not work for everyone, but it doesn't hurt to try. Nothing works for everyone! And if it works for you, the cost is worth it. Can't blame a person for wanting to make a buck these days. They deserve my money if their product works for me. You can't expect people to practically give away their products.

Pros:

Cleared my acne, inexpensive, doesn't dry out my skin like other products i've used.

Cons:

You have to order online or by phone and shipping and handling fees really add up!

I've been using Proactiv Solution for 3 months now and it has worked! Of course, i still get a pimple here and there, but my face is about 95% better! I use the 3-step system along with the refining mask, green tea moisturizer, and the VitaClear vitamins that they also offer. I follow the directions exactly and i'm trying my best to be on a healthy, balanced diet. Also, i don't use any foundation. Even when i was just starting this regimen i tried to stay off of makeup as much as possible because it can still make you break out even if it's oil-free and non-comedogenic. So try to not use cosmetics girls! Good luck!

Pros:

Works well. Leaves your skin smooth and refreshed and it smells good.

Cons:

To expensive.

Well I am 15 and I guess I dont have what you would call acne but I get some random pimples on my face so I thought I would give it a try. It works great, keep in mind I have not been using it that long. The only bad thing is it is true if you have sensitive skin, which I dont at all, you shouldnt use it! Well I hope it works for you!

Pros:

Proactiv is the only product that worked to clear my acne. (even over the dermetoligist prescriptions) I use it 1X per day, for over 4 yrs. I was able to customize my order to ship every 6 months, with two bottles of cleanser and one toner

Cons:

There are no cons with this product.

My skin has never looked as healthy, and the tone/brown spots, from the acne scaring, have evened out in color. With 2 shipments per year, It's the least expensive product I've used that actually works.
