Pros:

My face is clearer.. my skin tone is now even. the product is gentle and soft on the face (any i have sensitive skin). I wouldn't however recommend people to get high hopes about the product clearing your face if you have pimples literally everywhere

Cons:

DON'T STOP USING IT... I had a kidney infection and i couldn't use the product for a week. It was HORRIBLE.!

When I first saw proactiv I said to myself "Why on earth don't I have this product"? I went to a kiosk at my shopping centre (mall for the americans) and after a few days everyone who talked to me noticed results! Mind you I don't have acne (well on my chin there is) but it worked great. I would also like to say that I know that a lot of you guys who have problems with the product but I doubt half of you did a PATCH TEST!! to check if you had problems with the product before you started using it. it clearly asks you to in the booklet "face the facts". Anyway, I'm happy with the product and I didn't find it expensive.

Pros:

I'm 45 years old and have had an acne problem since 15. I heard about Practiv a few years ago and tried it.The BP was irritating at first so i reduced the usage and continued to use it with great success. Where was this product 30 years ago?!

Cons:

I wish this product could smooth out the scarring and reduce the redness of the scars. I hate being under certain lighting because the scars are so visible.

I contiue to use Proaciv just because it keeps the pimples away. My skin feels smooth to touch and there is no irritation. Try it. Start out slow and have patients. Proactiv works!

Pros:

Great Product for my teenager. She has been using it for two years. 100% Improvement!!

Cons:

None. Pricing is really good and consistent.

As a Father I have to recommend this product to any other parents that are concerned with their children's acne problems. It has been worth every cent for the effect the product has had. My daughter has much more confidence and sense of self improvement than ever before due to the effects of the PROACTIVE! It has been a life saver.

Pros:

I am 53 and suffered from acne all my life. Proactive has worked best for me when I use it regularly and I've tried it all.

Cons:

Years ago I ordered the system and had to sign up for regular shipments and found it to be too much, too often. Now I can get what I want when I want at a keosk in the mall.

Worth the money when I use regularly. Clears the many hair bumps under my chin. I've even had bumps disappear overnight after using the repair lotion.

Pros:

I don't understand what these other people are complaining about it works great give it some time to work and when using the cleaner don't scrub your face off lightly massage it on and if your skin is oily or combination for gods sake use the daily oil control and oil free moisturizer it helps big time!!!!

Cons:

When buying this system don't think cheapest think what will work right and better for your skin..

Bottom line it works great

Pros:

-Makes my skin glow.
-All the steps have an important use.
-Actually works.

Cons:

-If you skip a day of the routine, you breakout.
-Can make you're skin really dry.
-Have to use a different moistener because it makes my face dry.

I have combination skin and a light/medium skin tone. I don't use foundation or cover up, just mascara, eyeliner, and eyeshadow. I wash my face every night using the 3-step process. I started using proactiv when i was 13 and i'm almost 15. It works perfectly, you just have to stick to a routine while using it. For me if i use it more than once a day it makes my face unbearably dry. If so i use a clique lotion on my face and they work perfectly together. I love proactiv and couldn't live without it :)

Pros:

Clears up face. Leaves face smooth and clean.

Cons:

None

I first tried the original proactiv a couple years back and it irritated and burned my skin to the point my whole face was red. My skin recently started to become very oily and the new proactiv helps on that. The New Proactiv (which is said to work gentler) isn't irritating my skin. It really clears up acne and works very fast, probably like 2 weeks it cleared me up. It is a very good product, and if you have dry, sensative skin, proactiv still might not work for you (even the new one) because benzoyal peroxide is one of the main ingredients in it, and can still burn your skin, or dry it out. But this product has worked for me very well, and is more gentler on my skin, so yes, proactiv does work, but it depends on what your skin is like.

Pros:

-Finally cleared up my skin after 11 years of acne agony.
-Everything. I swear by this stuff. I can't thank them enough for creating this product - my skin is beautiful and acne-free now.

Cons:

-I don't like the smell or the bleaching but in my case it is a small price to pay.

I had acne since the time I was about 14 or 15. I was on 3 kinds of pills plus topical treatments for it at different times throughout my teenage years and nothing really helped. My dermatologist wasn't willing to give me Acutane because by the time I tried everything else I was sexually active. I was 26 when I started using Proactiv and I was still breaking out a lot. I had pretty much given up and thought I would always have terrible skin, that I would just have to live with it. I have heard that people have had negative reactions to Proactiv but for me personally it has been amazing. My skin was quite dry and itchy in the beginning but I started using their Green Tea Moisturizer after the Refining Lotion and that solved the problem - without causing me to break-out! Also since I am now 27, I started using their Night Cream as well and my skin is even more radiant. I get compliments on my complexion all the time now and I am still not used to it. :) I LOVE this product.
