Pros:

smells really good
helped my acne a lot! in only 2 weeks
gentle

Cons:

drys out skin (seriously everything does though, just get a good moisturizer)
can bleach things

I have been using proactiv solutions along with vitaclear vitamins by proactiv....:) I still have acne on my forehead and chin, but it has seriously gotten better!!!! and hope it will continue to! another thing I started doing was drinking more water, and I seriously think that it has made my skin more clear and hydrated. it has helped with the drying effects of proactiv. basically... if you are desperately searching this website looking for things that might work, please just give it a try. ps, and if you don't want to buy Proactiv through their actuall company (some people have had complaints that they charge your credit card for things you never get) you can buy proactiv for cheaper on [link removed]

Pros:

Makes my face smooth.
After first wk i notice alot of good change.
Bumps are almost gone except a few.
I feel alot better about me.

Cons:

I still have alot of marks on my face but pover time they will go away too as long as this cotinues to work the same.

I really like proactive. I used this proactive 3 yrs ago after I had my son, thats when acne started for me, but I only used it for a month and it worked then to.I just could'ent afford it at the time. I tried mary k sence and a few others but none ever worked like the proactive so I decided to try proactive once again. Once again I got good resaults. I read the doctor suggestion book that came with it and it said "acne is a life time problem for those who get it", so knowing that im gonna continue to use it forever.

Pros:

It is rather affordable as far as acne kits are concerned, they have awesome customer service, and it works WONDERFULLY!

Cons:

I can't think of any!

My friends recommended Proactiv to me, they have used it for two years now, and their skin is AMAZING: absolutly NO breakouts, even tone, smooth, just plain beautiful! I have sensitive skin, so I use the Rare Minerals mositurizer by Bare Essentuals morning and night following the Repiaring Lotion. Also, I use Rapid Clear spot treatment for the occosainal zit, rather than the Refining Mask, becuas it is slightly gentler and it's clear so I don't leave my pillow case white! Overall, GET THIS PRODUCT!!!!

Pros:

This product works. It makes your acne worse for the first two weeks, but then you'll see major improvement. Most people don't use it consistently but if you do it should work.

Cons:

It is expensive and the three step system has teeny weeny bottles that last about a month and a half.

You should buy this if other stuff hasn't worked. My dermatologist prescribed EVERYTHING: retin a, differin, atralin, benzaclin, and pretty much all the meds. Strangely, Proactiv has shown better improvement. Every three months at my visit she would prescribe a different medication, each about 50 to 100 dollars each, I was using 3 products at a time. It was just too much money for something that wasn't working. IT would keep my acne mild, but never clear it. So proactiv has worked way better!

Pros:

Love Proactiv! It cleared my skin up right away. It also makes my skin feel really clean after I use it.

Cons:

Too expensive and I don't like that they automatically enroll you and you have to pay for it every two months to get a good price. I can't use it that fast and end up with boxes of it lying around.

If you have bad acne and are willing to pay the price, I definitely recommend it! Make sure you use all three parts!

Pros:

Works really well. Way less acne :)

Cons:

Expensive

Use all three of the products EVERY DAY. Then once or twice maybe three times at the most use the face mask during the week. It will not be effective the first week and you'll probably get more pimples the first week, but after that you'll see them disappear and you're skin will be a lot more softer and smoother. This works really well and I'm acne free! (This is coming from a person who's family gets acne really bad.)

Pros:

It works no matter what skin type you have. They have different products for everyone.

Cons:

Can't think of any.

In the beginning I had to use the gentle formula because the 'basic' was too intense but then about a year later I moved up in product. At only 25 dollars a month it is worth the 10 minutes a day to have clear skin. If anyone has any questions call and talk to the people at Proactiv they want to help you be successful. Try buying from the local carts in the malls the poeple are a bit more knowledgable than on the phone.
