Pros:

It smells great and it really works!

Cons:

It got rid of all my blackheads. The little pimples disappeared FAST but it takes a while for the big ones to go away. It leaves my face feeling fresh and clean.

If you have dry skin, after applying the 3rd step, put on a LIGHT moisturizer and you'll be fine. It worked for me. But not everyone will getfast results. If your pimples are BAD..you migh want to try something else. Try Proactive for about a couple months and if you see no result, don't waste your time or money on it! Good luck!

Pros:

Completely gets rids of whiteheads and existing pimples. Gives you an even, glowing complexion.
My fabric didnt get bleached or anything and my skin didnt even dry out...probably because i used the Proactiv moisturizer too.

Cons:

Didnt particulalry stop new, painful pimples from forming, but as thats's part of the treatment, i was warned it may happen. Also, it was a bit pricey.

This stuff comes in really tiny bottles, but dont panic, it will still last the promised amount of time: two months. I have two words for you: BUY IMMEDIATELY! Persistance with this product will wipe away traces of acne scars too and it gives you a wonderful, fresh radiance. After i was done with proactiv, i started breaking out again, mildly though, so i used clearasil, and its done wonders.

Pros:

My Skin is not flaky. It was flaky to start with. I figured with BP and the "leather face" feel, that I would flake real bad, but I didn't

Cons:

The refining mask hasn't worked for me, I was beginning to get a zit on my forehead and I used it overnight, now I have a full on pimple! Other than not being flaky, I don't see much improvement.

I bought this product because I have blackheads, and even though its unsightly acne, it sucks looking like a strawberry w/out make-up. I hope this product helps, I have only been using it a few days. I was disappointed though, when I opened my package. If it works so well, why do they have a whole line of pimple fighting products. On TV they make it sound like 3 little steps...like that's all you need, then you open the box and they are selling you make-up, and face wipes, lotions, even dandruff shampoo. It makes me loose some faith in this product, I hope it works!

Pros:

Smelled nice... seemed to work

Cons:

Expensive, needs continuous regular usage

Proactiv was controlling my life! AAH! In order for it to work for me, I needed to be so thorough with it. But the price was killing my wallet. I stopped using it and developed really deep, cyst like acne, something i never had before. I'm not impressed.

Pros:

it makes your face feel clean. Gets rid of little bumps fast, but takes longer on big bumps...

Cons:

it creates a dependacy...if you stop using it, it'll make your face break out even more.

proactive works!

Pros:

it seems like a well organized process

Cons:

DOES NOT work at all, makes skin significantly worse, smells TERRIBLE, makes skin dry, makes you break out all over,

it's a waste of time and does not work. If i were you i'd visit a dermatologist first because they can recommend a better product. proactiv is very overrated and shouldn't be for how poorly it works.

Pros:

It is a great face wash and mask. When I first started using it, it felt really great.

Cons:

It's a little abrasive. It stopped working after a few months. Never cleared up my acne really. There are way too many products to apply. You end up with layers of medication on your face, and that's exactly what it feels like. Dried out skin.

Just like a lot of products. Great at first, but then it stops working. Too complicated. Too expensive. If you try to cancel the ladies on the phone just tell you that you were using the wrong amount or to use cotton pads as opposed to balls. That's just stupid.
