Pros:

cleared up my adult skin issues, when I ran out my skin began breaking out again :(

Cons:

Price, and the fact that you have to order it rather than being able to run down to the pharmacy for another bottle.

It did wonders for my skin, although I didn't have major acne, only minor blemishes. It didn't help blackheads, and the 3rd step of the program will bleach your sheets/pillowcases when you sleep at night. The inconsistency in bottle size also means that I run out of step 1 and 3 long before I run out of the toner (I have extra bottles all over the house). Overall, I would recommend it although I wish I didn't have to use it so consistently for it to be effective...

Pros:

I ordered the 3 step system and In the beginning I was very satisfied. It took a few days to work but my acne gradually disapeared. I have problems with picking on my acne, but though it burned it left my skin feeling fresh.

Cons:

The product is WAY to expensive to afford for a 14 year old girl and they gave you WAY to little product. I ran out in 2 weeks even though It was a 3 step system that was supposed to last a month.

DO NOT BUY THE 3 STEP! ITS WAY TO EXPENSIVE FOR THE COMMON PERSON! And its not worth it for what i got from it. I got really clear skin for 1 day and the zits were back. I think, because i am buying this porduct again, the bigger set is worth it. The trial is bull and I am sending it back. I recomend this yes and no. It works but #1 it depends on the skin you have and #2 it matters how much you have. Im going to say no because alot of people spend money on it and dont get there results so NO!

Pros:

clears it up quite quite quickly and prevents new ones

Cons:

lots of steps drys out and peels of skin in public can make your face look wrinkled and sunburned

it can be embarassing but if your use a moisturizer it doesn`t peel as much just use the repairing lotion sparingly and apply no gresy sunscreen

Pros:

- it actually makes acne go away

Cons:

- it makes your face dry up and sometimes your face gets red or itchy (in my case)

proactive is an OKAY product. It depends on who is using it. It's not like its gonna work on everyone and make every look pretty or look like jessica simpson =T although we wish it did (maybe not the jessica part, but the pretty part)

Pros:

I think it works for very mild acne.

Cons:

- expensive
- unusual smell
- too much hype

Worked for the first year. I suppose my acne got worse but the product stopped working. I've been on it regardless for the last 4 years and I've been clear once due to oral medication. I wouldn't really suggest this product to anyone, but it's worth a try.

Pros:

Made my skin better...face feels clean when first applied

Cons:

Dries badly...i had to get jojoba oil which fixes it up when its on, but when i dont moistuize it's terrible! very expensive and looks nothing like on the ads

Just recieved my 2nd kit,as i thought id give it 2 more months chance...it hasnt completly cleared up skin and i still get little white pimples,but i guess it is better...only problem is that the light in my bathroom makes my skin LOOK clear and tanned, but other mirrors in natural light make it look red and really brings out the acne..so im not sure how good it is...but it has made some difference...but nothing like on the ads!!! ill report back after 4 months....p.s ive also changed to using it at night only coz i have no time in the mornings and i dont want the shiny skin jojoba oil gives me at school

Pros:

It does clear up your face, and it feels great. It works pretty fast and if used correctly keeps your face very clear.

Cons:

If you stop using it you break out worse. If you don't continue use then your face ends up looking worse than before you started!!

I used Proactiv for about 2 years. When i first used the product i was amazed at how clear my face turned out! I saw results right away! I made the mistake of stopping use once my face cleared up though. Once i quit my face broke out so bad. I started the product again but it never cleared my face like it had at first. So now i've quit the product all together and my face has broken out and it looks terrible!! I've never had acne like this before!! I suggest if using or thinking of using Proactiv be prepared to make it a lifetime decision!
