Pros:

if your acne is bad, then an improvement will be seen in about a month....but it does not get rid of the acne, makes it less severe but you are still gunna break out

Cons:

dry skin, skin feels tight, gets you really mad when results are not what they seem on the infomercials

I have been using this product for just over 1 year, my acne has gone down but i still break out. You have to stick with the product and use it twice a day or else it wont work..if you miss an application it will show. If you really cant stand your acne...like me....then consult you doctor/dermatologist and get a prescription drug. Ive spent hundreds of dollars and am finally gunna give up on this product. I want something that will clear my acne up for good. Despite what people say about Accutane, i am willing to try and see what happens.

Pros:

It made my skin break out for the first month but thats just its way of pulling out the impurities. After it pulled the impurites out, my face cleared up quick and is still clear.

Cons:

It takes amonth to see results.

Proactive is going to work great for some people and not for others. people just need to give it a try and not judge the way it works in just the first few weeks but wait a month or two so your skin can get used to it.

Pros:

very good exfoliator

Cons:

everything else

made my skin so much worse. i was 10% bp it wasn't too harsh for my skin but after so long it does severely dry out skin. this product is rubbish the exfoliator is very good i must admit but i don't think any1 should ex foliate twice a day with this harsh a product. waste of money.

Pros:

Evened out skin tone, skin texture improved some.

Cons:

Regimen takes a lot of time, I developed a lot of small acne bumps under my skin on my cheeks and jawline. I NEVER got acne on my neck before and now can't get rid of it in those areas. Lotion makes face sticky and not as smooth as I thought.

I didn't have bad acne before, just wanted to be able to have consistently nice skin but Proactiv did not accomplish that. It costs a lot, is hard to get, and is harsh on your skin. I also noticed more fine lines on my face - around my eyes and laugh lines - than before and I am only 25!

Pros:

none!

Cons:

it dried out my skin and was so harsh it left some scars.

this product is ridiculous. i've heard it works for some people but honestly, its a scam and its waaay expensive. my face was red and irritated and flakey when i used this, and my pimples were just as bad. the reason the lotion still makes your skin irritated instead of calming it is because it's medicated too. everything about this product is way too harsh.

Pros:

i dont have any to report

Cons:

my face has broken out very badly..i was only trying to get rid of a small amount of acne now i REALLY have acne..it hurts really bad, my face is red, and my skin is VERY dry..

I'm not sure if I'm allergic or something but my face looks God awful..It may work wonders for people with severe acne but others should beware...
