Pros:

MADE FACE FEEL CLEAN, SMELLS GOOD

Cons:

MADE FACE SUPER OILY, DIDN'T WORK, EXPENSIVE

IT MADE MY FACE REALLY OILY AND DRY AT THE SAME TIME. THEN WHEN I FINALLY STOP AFTER A FEW MONTHS MY FACE GOT EVEN MORE OILY. I HAD TO BLOT MY FACE EVERY FEW HOURS TO GET RID OF THE SHINE. DIDN'T HELP ACNE. NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

Pros:

Clears your acne.

Cons:

expensive. Once you start using proactiv, you have to continue using it.

This product works for me. I recommend you use it for 6 weeks, and if you don't see any improvement in your skin, stop use and return the product for refund.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Does not work. The acne on my forehead got better, but I started to get big pimples on my chin and the lower part of my face. :(

With anything you purchase their is a chance that it may or may not work, so if you are reading these reviews and don't know if you should purchase it...try Proactive for yourself and you deceide whether or not it is a good product.

Pros:

- Skin is smoother than before.
- Blemishes clear up quicker than before Proactiv.

Cons:

- Still get frequent blemishes.
- Dries skin out and bleaches fabrics.
- Must be used twice per day.

I have been using Proactiv for about 6 weeks. I've seen noticeable improvement in my skin, but still get frequent blemishes. However, the blemishes that I get have gone away quickly due to the system. Within the first week using Proactiv, my skin dried out and began to flake. However, this has been remedied by using the Repairing Lotion only at night. I use a Neutrogena Sensitive Skin moisturizer in the morning. I will continue using the system for now, since I definitely have seen an improvement overall. I recommend trying Proactiv for at least 6-8 weeks... if you don't see an improvement, then this isn't for you. It's worth a try, though!

Pros:

Reduces inflammation
Somewhat clears whiteheads

Cons:

Dries out skin
Ineffective on blackheads
Acne comes back once you stop using it

In my opinion Proactiv is just too expensive. The quality of the product is not the greatest, and it sucks all the moisture out of your skin, leaving it flaky and dry. Using the toner can be very painful if you dab it on an open pimple. Also, if you don't use Proactiv every single day you will not see results. Then, you must continue to use it or your pimples will come back. It also bleaches towels and clothes so be careful. I'm sure there is a more effective and less expensive acne treatment out there.

Cons:

It made my skin darker. I don't know why...... very strange.

Benzoyl Peroxide, and great botanicals. Also the green tea moisturizer is GREAT.

Cons:

Price and size of products. (also some have fragrences, make skin breakout)

3.5/5 stars.... DEFFINATELY try it, but doesn't work for everyone. I will write in again in about 3 weeks to see how my treatment is going then.
