Pros:

Helps slightly for mild acne.

Cons:

Expensive and annoying to use everyday after a few months.

It does not work well enough for the price. calling the number to talk to them is annoying, and they always try to sell you more stuff or keep you a customer for longer. Like most products it only works for certain people. It is a greedy company that takes advantage of people with a serious problem and it is not a permanant fix to use this product.

Pros:

Cleared blemishes, face no longer oily

Cons:

Too expensive, made me break out like never before, took a while to work, small bottles

I didn't have a major problem with acne before I started using it but I wanted to know what all the hype was about and I was concerned about the amount of acne that I was getting each month. When I first tried it, I had huge pimples on my face in places that I had never had breakouts and they hurt! After one week I called Proactiv to return the products for a refund but the lady talked me into keeping it and reducing my usage and to even stop using Step 3 - that irked me somewhat because if I'm still paying for it but I don't need it then why should I keep it? So I kept at it and now it's only been 2 weeks and my skin is starting to improve big time! My face is no longer oily and the blemishes have all but cleared (besides the huge scars even though they weren't open scars!). I can't really stand the smell of the cleanser and I'm not impressed with the amount (or lack of) product that you get for your money but all in all, I'm keeping the faith. I'm still well within my 60 day money back guarantee so I'll see how I go from here on. Besides being too expensive, I think it would probably work really well on people who have bad acne and are good at sticking to a routine.

Pros:

My skin wasn't oily
Improved acne a little bit

Cons:

Didn't help my huge blackheads
Did nothing for cystic acne
Expensive
Time-consuming

I used Proactiv for three years. It was okay, and my acne was improved a little bit. I still had large, awful blackheads constantly, and I broke out a lot on top of that. I don't mind paying for acne treatments, but it was very expensive - too expensive for something that hardly worked at all. Finally I got tired of the big, inflamed blackheads that took months to go away and came back immediately, so I stopped using it. The only good thing about it was that my skin was never oily, which was a pretty big plus for me. Even so, I wouldn't recommend it.

Pros:

I don't get whiteheads, just occasionally some blackheads which is normal. The skin is less oily which is good.

Cons:

over applying the toner and lotion makes my face reddish and sensitive to sun and sea water.

For me, the cleanser and sulfur mask are the only thing i found it effective. Toner and lotion are rubbish. The good thing is that they can be bought separately which is good.

Pros:

Simply cleared my whole face after about a week of use.

Cons:

Made skin horrible for a week.
Expensive.
Made my skin more oily.

After about a week of using I woke up one morning and my acne was pretty much gone. But the first week made the acne 10x worse then it was before. I probably would not buy again and just get a cheaper cleanser and BP.

Pros:

I'm 36 and still have problem skin, i was really suprised at how quickly using this cleared up my pimples. i was really sceptical at first but my skin is 100% better even after just a few weeks.
the best bit is that my pores are smaller and cleaner

Cons:

At first it seems overpriced but when i compare it to my other products, cleanser, moisturiser, spot cream etc, it doesnt seem so bad.
i wish the toner was in a larger container. the cotton balls soak most of it up and not much goes onto my face.

Im getting married in two months and really want clear skin, for now im happy to pay the price. It does smell but not badly, it smells like any another spot cream that contains benzoyl peroxide. botton line is im really happy with the product and would recommend it to anyone to have a go.
