Pros:

The green tea lotion works very well on dry hands.

Cons:

Made my acne worse!

My skin was red and burning right after I used the product. Then within a couple of hours my skin would become very oily. After three months, I tried to cancel my order, and they talked me into the advanced treatment. That didn't work either so I cancelled again. For months they kept sending me more and taking the money out of my account. Then I would have to call again and send the products back to get my money back. This went on for months! I don't recommend this to any one!

Pros:

It softens your face
It somewhat clears acne

Cons:

It only works for people with barely any acne :(
It gets use to your skin so after awhile it stops working!

My friend gave me some proactive to try for a couple weeks, It worked at first then it stopped working. :( I would recommend it to people who have barely any acne though!

Pros:

Smells clean and fresh
The only thing that has ever worked on clearing my acne
Affordable

Cons:

Bleaches towels
Can be very drying on skin
Once you stop using it your acne comes back fast

I love this product so much. I have tried almost everything that is acne treatment related at walgreens and walmart. Proactiv has really given a new found confidence in my acne free skin. In the first two weeks or so you still might continue to get acne, but don't let it discourage you from this product. If you want to see results you must stick to the regiment and be consistent. You don't get a six pack by going to the gym one time, do you? No! You have to stick to it. And for all those who have problems with cystic acne like me also (ie the hard red lumps under your skin) proactiv of course won't work on those because it a SURFACE acne clearer, if you want to get rid of those you need to go to a dermatologist, cystic acne could also be a symptom of a hormonal imbalance. Bottom line, stick to it and it will work.

Pros:

- lots of moisturzing components
- cures moderate to mild acne

Cons:

- can be over irritating due to bp in cleanser and the microbeads
- doesnt include moisturizer
- expensive and small bottles

it works for those with mild ot moderate acne, those with moderately-severe/ severe acne should go on the regime or a dermo each step has moisturizing compenents so its not over drying at all! ill rate a four cause it ALMOST cleared my moderately severe acne

Pros:

Makes skin soft.
Reduces pore size.
Clears blackheads and oils.

Cons:

Can dry out skin.
Doesn't work on a long term basis.
Made my skin break out even worse.

Proactiv isn't as great as the commercials claim. It works for a few weeks at best, then everything starts going down hill. My skin actually started to break out worse than it had before. This may work for some people, but definitely not for me. The only items I purchased that I'm going to keep are the Refining Mask and Green Tea Moisturizer.

Called after 3 & 1/2 weeks to cancel since it was making worse. Representative told me we had to use for another 6 weeks. Just called again to cancel since its over 60 days. What a racket.

Pros:

-None

Cons:

-Doesnt work for me
-Caused more breakouts than I ever originally had
-Extremely expensive

This stuff just doesnt work for anyone I know who has tried it. And they automatically charge you after one month and send out a 3 month kit if you dont cancel in time. Return shipping is at your own expense.
