Pros:

None

Cons:

Please don't waste your money on this. If you have moderate acne of worse, this DOES NOT help at all. I even used the Max. Strength and that still didn't help.

Proactiv is a huge waste of money. The only thing that kinda helps is the Refining Mask.

Pros:

Works a bit in the begining

Cons:

Doesn't work that well

I has high hopes for this product knowing it was America's #1 selling ace treatment, so I bought the 3-step treatment. I used it for a while and it seemed to start working, but a few weeks later I broke out in like 20x worse than I thought. When I ran out I broke out even MORE! I was frustrated, and I am still on the search for another working product.

Pros:

The commericals are convincing....

Cons:

It took forever to get the products. My face broke out more! I thought it would get worst before better, but I'm still waiting.

I guess I just have to find what works for me. I will attempt to use this out until. I'm almost nervous to wait til it runs out in fear of my acne would be worse. I have very little acne, I had it bad during my adolescent years but since using this product it seems like I'm 13 again....

Pros:

It helps get rid of blemishes and keep most from coming back, it does what it says

Cons:

it dries out your skin in some areas around your face, but thats about it

I brought my own oil-free moisturiser to put on after doing the 3 step process and my skin is fine now! i guess that it just depends on the persons skin type and background with acne etc!

Pros:

This acne system didn't dry out my skin at all, and it was easy to use and keep up with.

Cons:

Proactiv is kind of expensive, and if you have it automatically delivered, it doesn't come nearly often enough. It also didn't seem very effective, my acne stayed the same over the six months I used the system, at times it was even worse.

Costly, a hassle to obtain, and for someone with moderate to sever acne, not worth it.

Pros:

Does not irritate my skin; no odour, easy to use. I can pick it up at the mall.

Cons:

Not working well. It improved my skin, but I still break out. It doesn't hydrate enough in the winter.

I'm switching; I'm going to try exposed.

Pros:

It definitely does work, but you need to make a religion out of using it twice a day.

Cons:

Missing even one session caused some of my pimples to come back.

I had pretty severe acne that even prescription topical treatments weren't really helping, so I tried proactiv, and found it to help quite a bit. It was worthwhile to switch for me.

Cons:

Isuppose my skin got so immuned to the product that it just didn't work for me anymore

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE!!! IT IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME & MONEY..I USED THE PRODUCT FOR 2 YRS., IT WORKED FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS BUT STILL DID'T SEE THE RESULTS I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING..
