Pros:

Been using it for 3 weeks, and so far it works great. My skin has cleared up considerably and feels so soft and smooth. My husband insists my skin has a glow to it, and i feel comfortable now going out without makeup.

Cons:

You have to wash the cleanser off properly. The beads in the cleanser can clog your pores and create blemishes. Follow the directions properly and you will see results.

I hope the results last. I use it twice a day, and don't notice dryness. I also use a vitamin e oil free moisturizer with sun protection and it helps under makeup. Please use follow the directions and take time to use the product properly. All I can say about the price is that if this system works for you, its worth the price.

Pros:

My skin is smoother and brighter. Less breakouts than before I started using it. Smells really nice. I especially love using the refining mask as a spot treatment - works really well.

Cons:

Doesn't 100% control breakouts (but is better than anything else I have used)

For me, this is the best over-the-counter system I have tried. No other cleanser, toner, or acne cream has ever come close the the results that I have gotten so far from Proactiv. I will continue using it as long as it is effective. I just hope it does not start to loose effectiveness.

Pros:

-clears up your acne within 2-3 weeks
-cheap compared to the many different solutions i've already tried

Cons:

-smells bad for a few minutes
-repairing treatment can look oily if you don't dab off after a few minutes

I had really bad acne, even cystic acne all the time all in my t-zone. I started proactiv and used regularly for about 6 months only skipping a morning here or there. Now I only get the occasional little white head due to hormones (i'm a teenager). I've been using it for over 2 years now and i am so much more confident now. and the best part is that i can now go for days at a time without using it and i still remain acne free. however the repairing treatment can dry out your face first which is why i always used clean n' clear moisturizer before using the toner or moisturizer and i now have smooth moisturized skin. Try this product and stick with it for a month or so. It can take time.

Pros:

Helped within days
Easy to order
Fast shipping
Easy to make your own kit
Lots of free extras on first order

Cons:

Pricey

I LOVE this stuff. My skin was rediculously dry before I stared using Proactive. This product used with the Daily Oil Control and Oil Free Moisture has cleared most of my pimples and all of the dryness in a matter of 3 weeks. Almost time for kit #2!!! Highly recommended

Pros:

Good price for what you get, it cleared up my skin in DAYS, haven't used it for too long so I don't know whether my skin will get "immune." My skin is not drying out, pores are smaller, scars I've had for months decreased the very 1st time I used it!

Cons:

? None yet!

I am getting married in July and finally decided to seriously attack my acne problem. In the past, I have tried all the creams/pills that dermatolgists prescribe; I paid hundreds of dollars on stuff that didn't work. I even switched birth control pills and gained 3 pounds in an attempt to decrease the hormones that cause acne(men: you are lucky you don't have to worry about that !!). I was 2 weeks away from beginning an Accutane regimen with my Dermatologist. Something tells me that for my relatively mild case of acne, she would get a "kickback" from the pharmaceutical companies for signing me up; that is how pushy she was that I try Accutane(even though it would cause me to have to abort a child if I should become pregnant! Who wants those chemicals in their body if it isn't completely necessary??) My suggestion: try Proactiv, what can you lose? If you hate it, stop immediately and try something else.

Pros:

Smoothens skin, reduces acne, smells nice, it's awesome so far.

Cons:

Costs a ton. They don't really give you much for the price, but I'm desperate for a cure so I will pay anything. As long as it works!

I've been using it for about three days now and I already see a small difference. You have to be consistent with it you guys, otherwise it won't work. I am desperate to find a cure and it seems as if this is the cure. It's very professional. It makes you feel fresh and squeeky clean.
