Pros:

If used everyday morning and night and all steps were done it usually worked completely.

Cons:

It smells, you have to do all steps, it makes oily faces more oily, it makes simple acne much worse, it stains clothes, ruins showers, and you can never go a day without it

I used this product for 2 years and when I went to a organic spa for a week everyone there was so anti proactiv. I wandered why, and everything they were saying made sense, the chemicals are to harsh, which explains why it stained clothes and stripped the finish off my shower. When I stopped using it, my face broke out worse then I had ever seen it in my life not to mention I never had blackheads before and now have them EVERYWHERE. I found something better to use and more simple and Im amazed I stuck with that crap for so long.

Pros:

At 13, my daughter began to have acne. She asked if we could try Proactiv. I thought we would try it first, before using a dermatologist. We got it and saw a huge difference in 2 wks. Now I use it and I am 37. It has done wonders for my skin as well.

Cons:

The bottles are too small. I feel you have to use it sparingly to make it last until they send you more product.

I know that Proactiv has worked for both myself and my daughter. It is very affordable, about $5 per week. I think the bad reviews come mostly from people who are too lazy to do it as a regimen, which is the way it is designed to work. You are not going to get the clear skin results overnight! It takes a few weeks of consistent use! I used Clinique for many years (I am 37) but it seemed to stop working. After seeing the results on my 13 yr old daughter's skin, I decided to give Proactiv a try. This stuff works great on my skin!!! But I had to give it about 3 weeks to really see the results and now people tell me my daughter and I look like sisters!!! Thanks Proactiv!

Pros:

Just perfect it really works ,

i can stop using this and my acne wont grow. i am happy i always had 2-3 pimples.. big or small but it goes away fast with this product.

Cons:

The marks stays... , can't go outside when i use this.. the sun will burn , my back on my head got burned.. it really hurted... it got to do with this cream so be careful. don't use this then go outside on the sun.

I guess i am lucky , 70% of people in here it didn't work.. I am so sorry about you guys and i hope you all get better. but this thing really works for some. as soon as 1 pimple grow it goes away in a day! or 2.. but i had lots of pimple before it was horrible i never went out , i stayed home :( i am like i am gonna wait till i get rid of this pimples when it goes away i am going to find a job and then go college eventually.

Pros:

skin becomes soft and future blemishes go away in less days than they would on their own. skin looks clearer and more balanced.

Cons:

products stains/bleaches everything the cleanser and cream touches. does not have a moisturizer so i wouldn't consider this product for dry conditioned skin/ areas on face. a little expensive. my blemishes are still coming back at same places on face

it's worth a try if you have the money and the patience (to not have anything colored near you when using it (clothes, wash cloth, pjs, etc...)). It took me a little while to understand what was causing the bleaching... so i ended up with a brand new pj and sheet set ruined... I think the 1-2 min scrubbing the face with the cleanser is not necessary and would actually maybe provoke more blemishes. After I finish with the products, I'll try something else if the main ingredient to use is BP. Oh! and if travelling close bottles firmly as the toner and cleanser tend to drip.

Pros:

okayy this stuff really sucks!! i mean the first two days that i used it my skin was glowing and shiny and smooth but it would burn when i used it!!

Cons:

but its been more than a week and my face is really in pain! it burns and is irratating the whole three step process burnt my skin!and now my skin is very red and dry.

if you have sensitive skin DO NOT buy this product because it burns really bad and once you quit you break out worse!i hardly have acne!just small acne whichis hardly noticeable!but once you stop using it for good you might break out a little bit but it will go away on its own!! try noxeema its GREAT!
