Pros:

Refining mask works well.

Cons:

Gave me very dry and peeling skin for the first week. For the next three weeks I got no results, in fact my acne slightly got worse.

Used it twice a day but it didnt work for me, but it may work for you.

Pros:

great commercial

Cons:

doesn't work

I never had acne, until I turned about 25. It started midly so I figured I'd just use Proactiv b/c their commercial was very convincing. It worked for the first year, then BAM.....stopped working. I continued with the system just like I had for the previous year, but it just doesn't work anymore. My skin is horrible now. I do not recommend this product at all. It is too expensive and doesn't work for the long run.

Cons:

My face was dry and the toner was irritating.

It cleared up some of my acne but then it would make me break out every so often. It didn't really cleared up my skin as i was hoping it would. To me it wasn't very helpful but maybe to some.

Pros:

the little beads in the face wash make your face feel smooth at first.

Cons:

I didnt have bad acne when i started using it. I just wanted to make sure that I never would get bad acne. Well I ended getting pimples on my face that turned into sores and then left scarring. The scars are now turning into pits on my face.

Dont use this product if you have sensitive skin or think you might have sensitive skin. You will regret it. I'm worse off now than i was when i started the treatment. I have a friend that has bad acne and it also made it even worse. Can you imagine how she feels now after using the "miracle treatment"

Pros:

hmmm...smooth skin. It cleans the dirt off my skin.

Cons:

It dries it to the point where it even looks like you have more wrinkles.

I tried to use it the first few times and I got an allergic reaction. Red face, itchy, burning feeling. Instead of the recommended use of 2 or 3 times a day, I started using it only once a day, but my skin just got dry. And wrinkles were more noticeble (yikes!) I had to discontinue it. I asked for my money back, and they gave me the Gentle Formula. That worked better. But it wasn't the miracle acne formula I had originally hoped for. -It's definitely not for everyone. -If its really drying, try using it less, and only target pimples. -As a last resort, I only highly recommend the "Gentle Formula".

Pros:

It didn't overdry my face like most acne treatments. The "free" mask made my skin very soft.

Cons:

Did not treat my skin problems.

This product didn't reduce the number of blemishes I have, but it didn't make them worse either. The 3 step process (cleanser, toner, and lotion) made my skin feel clean without drying, but didn't actually clear my skin. The product is also pretty expensive for the small amount that you get. I always ran out before my next shipment. It may work for some people, but not EVERYONE as suggested in the commercial. I have used Proactiv for three months with no noticable results.

Cons:

I had to stop after 1 week. My face literally hurt everytime I used it. It felt too harsh, and my acne became inflamed and my skin was red.

Not for sensitive skin.

Pros:

UV moisturizer gives skin a nice "glow"

Cons:

caused many more large red pimples!! I didnt have bad acne before, yet i seeked the "perfect" skin. A couple weeks after I started I noticed these large painful blemishes, along with very dry skin!

If you dont have many pimples to begin with, i do not suggest using this product, or any other costly skin product.

Pros:

DOnt Like It

Cons:

First I had mild Acne,then I ordered the product.

The first tie I used it , my skin looked clear no breakouts for a month, then a year passed by the product was finnished *used 2* I stopped using it 4 a while then suddenly acne all over my face then I began to go to a dermatologist so I would be guided. She said that she also used pro activ and had bad results 2 so she offered me a good medication that cleared my skin. REMEMBER: If one product works 4 a person doesn't mean it works for everyone.
