Pros:

NONE

Cons:

It works for a month, then it gets worse and worse. It keeps you on a roller coaster ride of happy and sad!! The mask makes your face smell like sulfer. CS is rude and threatens you to keep your membership! Then keep charging your account!

DO NOT USE IT!!! You are paying for massive celebrity endorsments and not results!!!

Pros:

With regular use Proactiv did reduce the number of breakouts I had and it did in fact make my skin appear visibly healthier

Cons:

It is slightly expensive.Also it was not recommended by my dermatologist who told me not to waste my money.Also there is a bleach containg agent in the repairing lotion that discolrs clothing.

It works pretty well

Pros:

The best that I ever used to get clear skin.

Cons:

Too expensive for people who live on minimal income.

I had problems with Rosacea for a long time...dermatologist prescribed a cream or ointment to put on my face...didn't work too well...my skin kept breaking out on and off and some times so bad that it itches and is so red that I look ugly. Then I took a chance and bought Proactiv and after starting using it I haven't got Rosacea since. It is over a year ago since I had it. I get a lot of compliments for my skin. I am 74 years old.

Pros:

Works pretty fast

Cons:

Doesnt work long, or with continuous use, Makes face dry

Don't get me wrong, i use the stuff daily, but if i stop for a while, i'll break out or w/e, and when i start using Proactive again it clears up pretty quickly. But the prolonged use, drys your skin

Pros:

for few days it does cover up skin.

Cons:

ridiculous. skin burns, works for couple of days then BAM breakouts.. doesn't work at all.

looks, if you're here with severe acne that you're looking it up on the internet, then its pretty bad. proactiv is like a JOKE, for those whose acne is nothing compared to what we've had to endure. if you're educated, you'll know all it does is that it blocks the pores, which will only cause HUGE mountains of puss. clever marketing strategies i belive though, "results immediately" yeah results, not effectiveness you morons. results as in the outcome of an action. for me, it was huge breakouts. BOTTOM LINE, if you wanna handle your acne sersiouly, proactiv COME on, what a joke..

Pros:

works at first. smells decent, lasts you a good couple months per package

Cons:

OILY SKIN beware! it will turn your normal skin into a pool of oil. i used it for over a year, the skin becomes immune to it and will break out if you stop.

proactive is good if you are 40 and have no other options left. try it if you have tried everything else. otherwise, teens, wait it out and use something cheaper and something that your face wont get addicted to and compeltely change the type of skin you have. i used to have problem skin, but it wasnt oily. now it is oily thanks to proactive.

Pros:

Make me free from acne, Clear the acne spot, and make my skin smoother.

Cons:

It made my skin a lil bit dry. Using It for a long time can make my face immune to this product.

It worked for me. I could see the result in a month. But I have to use it almost a year. Currently I can use another product for for normal or oily skin.
