Pros:

Not a whole lot...

Cons:

This product doesn't work. I tried it for six months thinking that perhaps the product just needed time. Nothing! In fact I think it made my overall acne problem worse while using it.

This product is extremely expensive and worthless. I gave it time to "do its magic" and nothing. I followed the directions and even consulted their customer service to make sure I was following their suggested guidelines of use.

Clear skin. If you don't mind dryness and some soreness, buy.

Pros:

Fresh feeling, nice fragrance, can use all over body, improves acne!

Cons:

Very harsh and drying. Makes skin itchy if u dont use lots of moisturiser. VERY EXPENSIVE!

I used Proactiv 2 times a day for 2 months, just like the steps say too. Problem was, for 3 or 4 weeks i didnt use moisturiser!! my skin was terrible. so, i combined jojoba oil and moisturiser to my 3 steps, and that cleared up the flakes. my skin was slowly getting less sore and less breakouts occured. my skin was on track--but--then school came back! i had no time in the mornings and i couldnt stand going to school with shiny moisturiser like skin! so, i changed to simply doing my face at night. It has slowed my clearing, and my acne is popping up on my nose, and i get the occasional pimple, but i just pop it and it goes quickly! Proactiv hasn't cleared my skin like on the ads- but it is so much better than before, and my face doesnt hurt. i've been using it once daily on weekdays, and sometimes 2 times on weekends, and i have the occasional pimple, some breakouts and oiliness on my nose, but its better than before! One problem- AU$69 for what u get is WAY TOO MUCH! but do try it!

Pros:

I love this product! Been using it 4 almost 3 years! I am always getting compliments about how soft and flawless my skin is. This stuff works, You just have to use it right. Have the right steps for your skin, Moisturize, be consistant & give it time

Cons:

The people who say this doesnt work is mainly because they over used and dried themselves out, didnt moisturize or use SPF or gave up to soon. Proactiv is worth the money because it works. Don't order it go to your mall and visit a kiosk there!

Just have common sense. Nothing is going away over night, yeah it can be drying but proactiv has more than just the 3 main steps. Those other steps help the core products work better by preventing the sensitivity. Everyone has different skin so just because it didnt work for someone you know doesnt mean it wont work for you. If you go to your mall they will most likely have a kiosk there that sells it and they are very helpful and can set you up with what you need to get started. If you dont like it they have a 60 day money back guarantee. SO why not! I am just so passionate about this because I used to have bad acne and would never get compliments on my skin and now I do and its wonderful!

This product can cause intense allergic reactions that they do not mention on the commercials. After using proactiv, I have woken up woken up with eyes so swollen I can barely open them. Also, I have a rash on my neck. I was not immediately allergic to the product, but I seem to have slowly developed an allergy. I do not recommend putting something so toxic on your skin!

Pros:

Dries us SOME pimples

Cons:

at the same time....DRIES UP ENTIRE FACE AND IRRITATES PIMPLES INSTEAD OF HEALING THEM

Proactiv is not intended for for everyone and is not as glamorous on TV. to make it fair, they should show some of their failure stories instead of their fake ass success stories. if u've tried OTC medicines and it doesnt work...THEN DONT WASTE UR TIME AND MONEY ON PROACTIV.. detox works wonders! look it up! being proactive is about clearing out acne NOW. but detox is clearing ur body and SKIN of toxins that force the skin to break out

Cons:

This product is really expensive and is not guaranteed to work consistently

A pricey product without the guaranteed results

Pros:

If you're not satisfied after using the product for 30 days, it's a money back guarantee.

Cons:

For first time users, offer a two for one free gift for ordering their first kit.

I've read some comments where the bottle is too small. It's because you need to use a SMALL AMOUNT of the product. For those with oily skin like me, the oil-free moisturizer is wonderful as well as the refining mask. I use the mask at least twice a week and my face glows. I'm currently on a 12 week (4 month) cycle in getting a new kit and it's work out great. As long as you use the products in the right order and not mix it with other products, you'll see the results. Just stick with it.

proactiv is worth a try but is useless if not used consistency and bottle sizes are smaller than advertised.
