Pros:

Well.... I guess Proactiv is effective in washing your face....

Cons:

Dries out skin.
Toner and refining mask can StInG (especially if you have sensitive skin).
They all Smell gross! Cleanser, Toner, Refining Mask and Moisturising Lotion. Quite a pricey product. Dissapointment when Proactive doesn't work for you.

Great for all those people it works for.... Not so great for those people it doesn't work for! My advice: Try this product if you feel you have to, it may just work for your skin type, but be aware that it isn't a miracle cure for ALL! If stinging or irritation occurs (like it did for me) don't keep using Proactive through the pain just to get that miracle blemish-free look. Basically, if it's not working give it up!

Pros:

It cleared my skin up really well, however...

Cons:

It does extreme damage to your skin in the long run.

I talked to several skin care specialists, and they all told me how deeply dehydrated my skin was and asked what I used. I told them Proactiv and most of them said the exact same thing -- It causes early aging!! Yes, I did moisturize every night and day and through the day but my skin STILL flaked and cracked. I'm currently on the pill, and it seems to be doing good. I no longer use Proactiv's toner or cleanser, however, once a night I will still use the repairing lotion because I really don't want to risk what would happen if I came off BP completely. Proactiv does what it says, clears up your skin. But sadly, also causes early aging. So I guess it's up to whatever is more important to you.

Pros:

Soothes the skin and makes it feel clean.

Cons:

Very expensive and after a months use I have seen no results.

Been using for 4 weeks and have seen no results. My skin looks worse. I will keen using it hoping at the 6-8 week mark it will start working like everyone is saying.

Pros:

Worked for me when nothing else did.

Cons:

Pricey - and delivery at uneven intervals.

I was at the end of my rope and tried it out of sheer desparation. The first 2 weeks saw no improvement, but then in the third week the results were dramatic. Now I can leave the house without mkeup - before, I would need three coats of makeup to be seen in public. No one can expect one product to work for everyone - but Proactive worked for me! If you've tried everything else...why not try Proactive? You might try buying it from another source to see if it works before getting locked into the "club" program.

Pros:

nothing really.

Cons:

Dry, flaky skin with more acne than before. Small bottles, not worth what you pay.

It sucks! I used it for 6 weeks, it didn't do anything except for make my skin worse. My skin started getting dry, chapped, and flaky and my acne got worse. I started using it less so that my skin could adjust, even that didn't do anything. My skin was at its worse when i bought proactiv. Their infomercials are the biggest lies i've ever seen. I switched to a MAC oil off! skin cleanser and olay complete moisturizer, my skin has gotten alot better. But i learned my lesson. DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR TV!!!!
