Pros:

really cleared up my skin after babies, got alot of compliments from people WITHOUT makeup on, love their makeup products too though!

Cons:

when I run out of it

yes, you have to be consistent - ew if you aren't cleaning your face 2x per day - that's disgusting. it's takes time for results but in the end WELL worth it. LOVE the oil control cream - really helped my skin during PMS

Pros:

It has cleared my acne and is'nt as expensive as people say

Cons:

the process to apply takes too long

This is a very good product it does take too long to apply and if you stop using it your acne comes back. But it sates that it is NOT A CURE FOR ACNE so i did expect that.

Pros:

#1 If used properly, using all 3 steps once a day, skin will clear up and show a noticable improvement.
#2 Keeps bumps manageable even if user only washes face once everyday using the Renewing Cleanser.
#3 Great packaging and the price is righ

Cons:

#1- In many cases, if the toner is used more than once a day, you may experience burning or drying out of the skin.
#2- You have to use it everyday. Bumps may begin to resurface if you miss 1 day of use.

I have been using Proactiv for approximately 5 years now, and I absolutely don't think that I could feel comfortable without it. Proactiv users have to be patient in the beginning, and find what works for them in reference to the proper application. I notice when I complete all three steps at least once a day, my skin looks clear and free of bumps, with an exception to maybe a few small bumps around my hairline on my forehead where my scalp is generously mosturized. What works for me: #1- Wash face w/Renewing Cleanser #2- Wipe face w/Toner using a clean cottonball (only in areas where bumps are present) #3- Dab an eye cream or face moisturizer on eyelids,under eyes,and the corners of the eye where crows feet can possibly present a problem #4- Rub lotion on face w/ Proactiv lotion (be careful not to get lotion in the eye area) *If my face feels dry after the lotion application, I may add a face moisturizer in the areas that I need it.

Pros:

AMAZING! clears us everything!!!!

Cons:

must stay consistent with the products, must use all the products together everyday

You have to use at least the first three products together every single day, once or twice a day depending on how dry your skin gets. It does get expensive, but if you use it consistently the product is so worth it. It does not work for some people because they do not follow the instructions and use way too much of the lotion. Just use little amounts of everything and it works great. AND USE IT EVERYDAY!

Pros:

I love Proactiv! I have been using it for about 2 years now. It has cleared up my acne although I do break out around the my period but only 1- pimples, if any. I've had friends recently say "Wow, your skin looks great!"

Cons:

It can be a bit pricey but definatley worth it. I tired Tazoac which was very expensive and extremely toxic and harsh..:(

I use it consistently and i also drink lots of water, eat healthy and exercise.. which i believe all play a role. When i am not eating right or exercising, i do notice a difference in my skin. Drink Water !!! I tried to switch to something more natural but then broke out and went back to proactiv. I highly suggest trying it but you've got to be patient..maybe give it 1 month at least. I saw results immediatley.

Pros:

It really clears my skin! And if you use the refining mask before it, your acne will reduce to nothing/almost nothing the next day!

Cons:

During your first uses, you may expierience some burning. This is because your skin is not used to the benzoyl peroxide in it. You will adjust! Also, if you moistureize after you use it, your skin won't dry out!

BUY IT!! :) Okay, so I'll tell you what I do to clarify. *I only use Proactiv at night 1) Before my shower, I put on the refining mask for about 5-10 minutes (until it is dry). 2) I shower in warm water, possibly baithing with the deep cleansing wash. 3) I wash my face (still in shower) with the first bottle/renewing cleanser. 4) I get out of my shower, dry my face of ALL moisture, and apply the revitalizing toner. 5) I wait for the toner to dry, and I apply a medium-thickness layer of the repairing lotion. 6) I wait for the lotion to dry, and I apply the green tea moisturizer and the dark spot remover. ***The Green Tea Moisturizer, Refining Mask, Dark Spot Remover, Deep Cleansing Wash were all gifts from my monthly use of proactiv!!*** FREE EAACHH MONNTHH!
