Pros:

works for a little while.

Cons:

Stains clothing, your skin gets dependent on it so if you stop using it you break out again.

I didn't need this product but my aunt had bought it and after she received it realized she ordered the wrong thing. It was never opened so she gave it to me. I heard all the rave reviews so I decided to try it. I got the occasional zit so I figured it couldnt hurt. I used it for awhile and when I ran out I just didnt order anymore since I never really had a need for it anyway. Big Mistake. As soon as I stopped using it I broke out constantly. And I noticed all of my clothes and towels were stained with huge bleach spots. So now I am stuck with zits and I need to buy new clothes. Thanks Proactiv!

Pros:

It works for me! Previously I have tried numerous products, and my pimples still comes out big and painful, after proavtiv, my face clears up and i feel great :), not conscious anymore that others are looking at my pimples :)

Cons:

a little inaccessible to buy in malaysia

i guess you can try it out and see if it works for you, for me it's really a blessing that my face can finally be clear and pimple-free! :)

Pros:

Definite improvement. I get fewer pimples and less of the really bad ones. My skin is not perfect but rarely embarrasses me anymore. No more of the pus filled zits, only bumps. I like the mask

Cons:

Expensive, doesn't work perfectly. But, I sometimes get lazy and don't use the toner every time.

Won't get rid of EVERYTHING but gets you to a point where you only need a bit of makeup to look like you have perfect skin.

Pros:

Face is smoother, blackheads and whiteheads disappearing, acne scars fading.

Cons:

slightly red face, gets a little dry if you don't moisturise.

Seems to be working good for me so far. Just remember to moisturise, any face moisturiser will do.

Pros:

I felt like i was really doing something about my acne So i had confidence....

Cons:

It made my face worse and then SLIGHTY BETTER...

It felt like it was buring my skin off due to redness all over my face but i continued to use it as i thought that it would better with time.

This stuff is over rated! Jessica simpson and all these other celeb's that get paid millions to say they use it... Dont. It's not THAT great.

Pros:

it helps reduce the size of zits and if you use it at night your pimples will go away.

Cons:

LEAVES YOUR SKIN EXTEMELY OILY. i could fry chiken off of my face. my skin was never oily before proactive and now even when i stop using it the oil never goes away. it is very strong on skin

proactive is for people with serious acne. if you have a few problem areas it becomes too strong for your face. i use it at night then use other products during the day like anti oil stuff because my skin is so oily.

Pros:

It leaves your skin feeling soft and clean after application

Cons:

It depigmented my skin leaving white spots where my acne was. Starts to feel greasy after the initial "fresh" feeling is gone.

It didn't work for me. It left my skin looking worse than before I started using it. Makes me more self concious with these ugly white spots I had to tan away.. but even then they are there. THANKS PROACTIV!

Pros:

it cleans your face?

Cons:

It doesnt work AT all, it never cleared my face.

Do NOT use proactive. To say that it is the number one product? thats rediculous. the only way possible anyone can say it is number one is if they payed doctors tons of money to lie, which is what did happen.That is also very sad, being that now people suffering from acne are fooled and continuoisly living with acne because careless doctors lied. DO NOT USE PROACTIVE.
