Pros:

These products do work.

Cons:

Any piece of clothing the products touch are ruined. It takes the color out of everything, particularly along the neckline.

I stopped using it because I couldn't afford to ruin my clothing and pillowcases.

Pros:

Everything! This stuff is a miracle. It is the ONLY thing that has ever worked on my acne. I even had people commenting on how nice my skin looked and they didnt even know I started using this. My face was not red and bumpy anymore, this is amazing!!

Cons:

It is expensive but to have clear skin, it's worth it! Doesn't smell too great but at least you only have to deal with it when you're putting it on.

The best acne product I've ever tried, and in my 36 years, i've tried a LOT!!! I really hope they never discontinue this stuff because I will go back to having a pizza face again. note: For acne severity, I put "moderately severe" meaning it would be moderately severe if I didnt have ProActiv!

Pros:

This product feels great on my skin. works great.

Cons:

Too many steps.

I've been using this product for about three to four days, and it seems to be working. I wake up every morning with less ace then the day before. I have yet to see anything wrong with the product, besides the fact that it a four step system. Overall, It seems to be working on me. It could also be because i haven't used this product enough to have any negative things to say about it.

Pros:

Ends acne

Cons:

Small expensive portions

Best product I've ever used. I'm a 25 y.o. female who used to have severe large pimples on my chin. It was hideous. I've used stuff from department stores, the clean and clear line, Differin gel, benzoyl peroxide in all percentages - the list goes on and on. I finally forked over $75 to some girl at a kiosk in the mall and bought Proactiv. The change in the first 2 days was visible. I saw results right away. I had a little dryness on my face, but I used Clinique oil free moisture and it went away. When followed correctly by completing all steps twice a day, my acne really did disappear. I have no plan on buying any other product or spending more on prescription topicals. You should try it because they offer a money back guarantee.

Pros:

Started to work with 3-4 days. Keeps my skin clear with consistent use. The mask works great on occasional pimples--significantly clears them overnight; in 2 nights, they are usually gone.

Cons:

The daily cream dries the skin a bit, so I only use it every other day.

I have been using ProActive for 5 years. I heard about ProActive from my daughter's 30 something friend when we were planning her wedding. I thought, why not give it a try? When I ordered the intro kit, they made sure I knew that I would receive a full kit every couple of months unless I chose to cancel. I find I don't go thru the product in 2 months (forget some days, and don't use the daily cream everyday). It is not a problem to call and have a shipment either postponed or cancelled altogether (I've done both). I did have a shipment that didn't arrive, and when I called they quickly sent another shipment (at no charge). I have had no problems with this company and find them easy to deal with and can always talk to a live person in customer service.

Pros:

I'm 29 and this is the 1st face product to work on my oily skin & black heads without over drying my skin. The green tea lotion is EXCELLENT and makes your face feel baby soft.

Cons:

The regular product made my skin dry slightly in the winter but, I changed to their set for sensitive skin and it's working great!
I also wish the product wouldn't take 2 weeks + to arrive, when you're out your skin knows immediately.

If you have oily skin with black heads and occasionally break out - this is the product for you! I've tried everything and this is the best cleanser for your money :) The container for 39.95 last about 2 1/2 - 3 months if you use it sparingly twice a day.

Pros:

It works well, didn't dry my skin out. Works seemingly overnight.

Cons:

It may dry your face out a little

I had a FRIGGIN HUGE pimple on my nose. It was horrible omg. I didn't want to go to work let alone school, and everywhere else i had to go. I was desperate and called my mom and she told me to use proactive. She brought it to me and i used it the same night. The NEXT DAY! I saw a significant reduction. it wasnt gone all the way but it was about 60% Wayy better then it was before. THANK GOD AND HIS INFINITE WISDOM TO BLESS ME WITH THIS PRODUCT. I have sensitive skin and it worked great for me. The best thing I have ever used! Worked for me. :)

Pros:

cleared pimples, reduced scarring, easy to use & affordable.

Cons:

when you stop using it pimples come back quickly & sometimes
worst then when you first started. Have to keep up with it, every morning and night not enough solution for two months.

it cleared my face a lot. my scares dulled down, and my face became completely clear after a couple months, you notice change after about a week of using it. however, when i missed washing my face a couple times pimples came back way quicker then when they went away, not good for sensitive skin. i also didn't have enough to last me two months but it was very affordable and worth the 20$ . the mask works the best.

Pros:

This product is amazing! Works very well. Brings your confidence up so much. You can't stop touching your face because it is so smooth.

Cons:

It causes irritation in the beginning but if you keep to it the irritation goes away. Your skin just has to adjust because I have very sensitive skin and your skin gets worse before it gets better and when it gets better you will love it. Be patient.

Bottom line is that Proactiv Solution WILL clear your breakouts. If you are going through that stage where your hormones are going crazy than it won't clear you skin entirely but it will certainly help. This is a perfect product. You will notice a difference in just a few days. If you do get Proactiv than you must get the Refining Mask because that is what really helps alot. You will see the size of your breakouts decrease imensily after one night of use.

Pros:

Worked very quickly, cleared up my severe acne within a week. It didn't irritate my extremely sensitive skin.

Cons:

A bit drying, and far too expensive.

If you have the money for this product, get it.
