Pros:

It gave me confidence...

Cons:

Kinda expensive for a student like me.. T,T

Used this product for about 2 months and cleared my skin. Well, not totally clear but maybe 60% of my pimples were gone... But overall, I think this product works...

Pros:

it cleans your skin
the refining mask

Cons:

it helped my acne but, it didnt do anything for my blackheads

i WOULD RECCOMMNED IT BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER PRODUCT TO USE IN COMBINATION WITH THIS PRODUCT. i USE THE CLEAN AND CLEAR ADVANTAGE ACNE CONTROL KIT AND IT WORKS WONDERS!!! THE BEST THING ABOUT THE PROACTIV KIT IS THE REFINING MASK. ITS THE BEST

Pros:

Last year I had light to moderate acne, but it still bothered me. I bought thi and it worked amazingly well. I wish this could work as well for me as it did with everyone else.

Cons:

Didn't work as quickly as I hoped it would, but it worked.

There are a lot of people that don't like it, but the commercials say it's for light to moderate acne, and not severe. But I still suggest that everyone with doubts about it working still tries it out.

Pros:

This product works extremely well. I use it on a daily basis and get it delivered to my house. If used twice per day, the results are as promised!

Cons:

N/A

USE IT!

Pros:

Clears skin, makes it less oily.

Cons:

Dries skin a little bit (but that's because I don't use the moisturizures)

I use the cleanser & daily oil control in the morning and cleanser & mask when I shower at night. It works great, and gives me confidence.

Pros:

Clears the skin, no dryness.

Cons:

Time consuming, can be pricey, can't buy in stores.

I tried Proactiv 9 years ago after having my first child. I had a very bad reaction. I broke out and my face turned red. Well, 9 years later, I still have mild acne. So, I tried it again. It has consistently kept my skin clear. My skin is not dry at all, (I use their moisturizers,- great products!). If I do get a blemish, its gone within a few days without a mark left behind. All of my post acne marks have faded. I love Proactiv!

Pros:

It feels clean immediately after use.

Cons:

Doesn't work!! Plus, they kept sending it to me and charging me before I needed a refill. Even after I cancelled they sent another set. Now I have a bunch of worthless, expensive goop in my cabinet.

Don't waste your money. If you want to try it, go to the drug store and get the generic brand. It is the exact same ingredients, and it's a lot cheaper. I regret wasting my money on the "real deal," especially since it didn't work. At all. It really fakes you out because it feels clean right after you use it, but it doesn't heal anything, plus I broke out even worse when I stopped using it. One step forward, two steps back.

Pros:

Cystic acne cleared up pretty well- although i still get one every month, cleared up the acne on my back perfectly, the mask is great to get rid of dry, peeling skin. And the repairing lotion is great.

Cons:

Takes a while for it to actually show RESULTS, it took me about a couple of months. When I went a few days without it because I ran out, I broke out like crazy.I have to keep back up supplies of it.

Keep using proactiv for at least 4 months, it took me that long to see full on results. Buy the combination therapy set if you have sensitive skin, oily and/or dry skin. I have combination skin so it worked well for me, but the 5-piece combo set is the most expensive set of the bunch. If it dries you out, use a SMALL amount, a very SMALL amount. That seems to work the best. And use the mosturizer/sunscreen.
