Pros:

This product really helps fade the spots left over from previous acne bumps, helps prevent acne, overall, it makes my skin look more even.

Cons:

It is a little drying and a little pricey.. It hasn't completely got rid of my pimples as I still get one here and there, and that difficult pimple will sometimes stay for a while too.

I was skeptical about this product since I've tried just about everything without having any fantastic results. After a couple weeks I noticed my skin looked more even and the red spots were fading away. I'm still getting the occasional break out, but I'm hoping that will subside as I've only been using it for a month and a half or so. Overall, I'd say to give it a try!

Pros:

got rid of my blackheads

Cons:

Read below

I had regular type skin; I had a few pimples in the T zone, and I had many blackheads on my nose and chin. My blackheads became sparse, but my pimples started to blossom. Also, my skin was red, flaky, and cracky. I would not recommend this to anyone with dry or regular type skin. This product is only for patients with severe acne that have no other choice. It is also expensive.

Pros:

clears skin significantly

Cons:

skin my become dry or red if overused.

It is now one of the cheapest acne systems around and it works, you just have to follow the instructions carefully. I like the fact that this product does not make acne worse before it gets better like alot of other systems do. Proactiv works fast and well. so far it is the best thing on the market to me. Proactiv had me completely clear after only 3 weeks.

Pros:

I really like Proactiv. It didn't work that great at first. But after I talked to someone at one of the stands in the mall, I found out I had not be using it correctly.

Cons:

A little sensitivity at first. If I get stressed, I need to be more careful to use everything.

Everyone should talk to someone at a kiosk. They know what they are talking about. The girl I buy from is so sweet and has a story to tell as well. They help A LOT, eventhough I wan't getting it from them to start with. The make up removing cloths are fab. Once I started taking off my make up before using the cleanser, I went from 85% to 99.5% happy and clear! There are a lot of other products they have that work great. You just have to look at and feel them. I use so many things from Proactiv, my cost if much higher than anyone should starting out. I even use the body products, make-up and shampoo. I spend about $150 every two months. If you use it for less than a month, you will not really see anything!! If you don't use it everyday, it will NOT work. If you get red, itchy bumps or swelling, you are allergic.

Pros:

It smells nice. I like the mask (free gift) the best. It didn't clear my skin. It is smoother, but not clear.

Cons:

Lotion burned a little the first couple of weeks. It can bleach clothing.

Not any better than other acne treatments I've found (that also use Benzoil Peroxide). Not worth the cost.

Pros:

ProActiv is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Cons:

I have to use it for the rest of my life as my severe acne is genetic.

I have severe cystic acne passed down from from my father. I'd get pimples in lines, pimples developing on pimples turning into a mega zit, you name it. My pimples also take at least a week to disappear, even now, if I do get one. And being of Filipino/Spanish descent I have plenty of melanin in my skin, so scarring was inevitable. ProActiv changed my life. I have confidence now. I have cheekbones where I previously thought there were none because of the severity of my acne. For those who say it doesn't work: if it worked on me, it'll work. It took six months for me to be clear of all pimples on my face, and I stood by it. Two years later I am still thankful for listening to Jessica Simpson lol. Being gay, appearance is EVERYTHING. Before ProActiv, I never thought I was attractive at all. I thought I'd be a virgin until I died. Let me tell you; my boyfriend is HOT :) I can also pursue my dream career in the beauty industry, hairstyling. ProActiv works, and it takes everyday commitment.

Pros:

Improves, but doesn't eliminate bumps (adult acne)

Cons:

Burns and reddens my skin; dries my skin out.

When I use the product as reccomended twice daily, my skin gets VERY irritated. I can only use the once per day because the burning becomes too painful if I use it more often. The product works somewhat, but it is by no means a "miracle" product for treating acne.

Pros:

It dries you out at first... but then it does clear your skin....
you get flaky but with anything... when you have eccessive oil... you will have flay & oily skin....

Cons:

you dry out then it clears up, the back and forth...I've been using it for 2 years... it does clear u up but doesn't stay clear for months at a time...

for me... even if it doesn't stay clear for months at a time... it's worth the clear times that it does give my face.. it has helped me more than regular foamy cleansers/washes...

None

Dried out skin, smells bad, made acne worse

All this product did was make my acne worse and dry out my skin. I've used it for a year, and I have experienced no results. I'm canceling my shipments today.
