Pros:

everything about it (except maybe the price!) i am shocked about all the negativity! started to work the very 1st night i used it, and every day got better and better! now my skin is so clear and smooth!

Cons:

the salycilic acid "spot stick" is a waste of time! i got it free with my pack as a promotion, and it does nothing and dries out after a few days! useless! glad i didnt pay for it! but everything else is amazing, would be good a bit cheaper though!!

if you have the patience and the discipline to do it at night...it works! i use the cleanser, toner and repairing cream at night, and a wipe in the morning (so the creams last longer and to save time) and it works fantastically for me! at the end of the day, if you REALLY want to have clear skin, you'll have the discipline to use it every night! i have even skipped a few nights while i had forgotten it while staying at friends houses and just used regular face wipes, and it made no difference to my skin AT ALL! maybe i will try using it every other night to save money, but all in all i enjoy the whole experience as i am so girly and love pampering myself!

Pros:

Well it seemed to work the first couple of days cleared up the light acne I had.

Cons:

My face looks worse than it ever has in its life. I wish I never started using it. The only reason I still am and am staying optimistic that I hoping it still might work. You know how they say first the ugly comes out before you see the beauty? I do

It might work on your skin type'I really wish it worked on mine, but be aware that it might make your acne worse. Start with the trial.

Pros:

if your acne is bad, then an improvement will be seen in about a month....but it does not get rid of the acne, makes it less severe but you are still gunna break out

Cons:

dry skin, skin feels tight, gets you really mad when results are not what they seem on the infomercials

I have been using this product for just over 1 year, my acne has gone down but i still break out. You have to stick with the product and use it twice a day or else it wont work..if you miss an application it will show. If you really cant stand your acne...like me....then consult you doctor/dermatologist and get a prescription drug. Ive spent hundreds of dollars and am finally gunna give up on this product. I want something that will clear my acne up for good. Despite what people say about Accutane, i am willing to try and see what happens.

Pros:

It made my skin break out for the first month but thats just its way of pulling out the impurities. After it pulled the impurites out, my face cleared up quick and is still clear.

Cons:

It takes amonth to see results.

Proactive is going to work great for some people and not for others. people just need to give it a try and not judge the way it works in just the first few weeks but wait a month or two so your skin can get used to it.
