Pros:

smells great, soothing

Cons:

doesn't work, at least for my skin, which is very oily and and get a couple of individual mild acne pimples

really i gave this product a long time, at least four months thinking i was doing something wrong if so many people had had such positive results but again my skin is different and so are many others, other than that ingredients such a benzoyl peroxide are awsome don't get me wrong, but just like salicylic acid and sulfur my skin and immune system build a ressistance to those ingredients which is why most products work so great at first and then after a short time its all down hill. I think proactiv was too gentle and not strong enough, this product did not worsen my condition nor improve it but if it does work for you im glad.

Pros:

It began working in one month. I would get tiny pimples all across my forehead and large pimples at my temples and down across my cheeks that would leave scars. Proactive cleared most everything up.

Cons:

bleaches my green(and only green, any shade) shirts and towels.

Very happy with the product. Would recommend to anyone.

Pros:

I like finally having a system I can trust with my skin. EVERYTHING I have tried to date would make me break out even worse. Clean feel, DH says he likes the smell (go figure!), much fewer breakouts....waiting to see if it helps my rosacea.

Cons:

time consuming! 5 minutes is too long at 6am! Once I wiped my neck with the Revitalizing Toner and had a chemical burn on my neck which took 2 weeks to heal.-ouch! I guess the skin on my neck is much more sensitive.

I will continue to use Proactiv. I like knowing that my skin is getting healthier. I can feel it. I get many positive comments. I don't care for the automatic shipments either.

This is the best acne medication out there today. I suggest this to ANYONE that is looking for the answer they have been searching for since they hit puberty. I am in my mid 20's and had acne from age 13-22. Acne is gone forever! Thank you Proactiv!

Pros:

I was great! The first few weeks/months I started using it, it worked great for me. I would get very, VERY little breakouts.

Cons:

I got off of it for about a week, and my skin went BALLISTIC. It broke out like crazy. I HAD to get back on proactive. So now I'm trying to get my skin to my natural state, and I'm back on proactiv.

I would recommend it. It worked great for me, but if you get off it, your skin will go weird, and break out like crazy (only if you're like me).
