Pros:

It Cleard up my skin fast!

Cons:

It bleach's towels! And can be drying. i dont use the moisturizer i use my own.

I have been using proactive for about 5months! and im very happy with it.im also on a low antibiotic called doxycycline. Which has also helped! The only thing im unsure on is can you use proactive for years.? or is it jst for until your skin clears up? It has worked for me! my skin is clear!

Pros:

It makes me feel clean and it keeps me from breakouts and cists

Cons:

the old proactive was fine, but the new extra strength REALLY dries out my skin and it burns my eyes!

Pros:

Keeps acne from getting worse.

Cons:

doesnt work if you have mild to severe acne!! and if you dont use it for one day you have a severe breakout

This product is for people for have light to mild acne. I used to use this product 2 times a day, 7 days a week last year and my acne was light-mild. Then I didnt use it for a week and my acne got bad. it has stayed bad for about 3 months and is not getting better and i quit using proactiv last week to move on to something more effective.

Pros:

WELL IT SMELLS ALRIGHT. AFTER THE FIRST STEP YOUR FACE FEELS REALLY FRESH N CLEAN.

Cons:

YOU HAVE TO USE A LOT OF MOISTURIZER BECAUSE PROACTIVE DRIES OUT YOUR SKIN. PLUS REDNESS OCCURS, WHICH REALLY SUCKS.

THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE. MY FACE RIGHT NOW IS AT ITS WORST, THANKS TO PROACTIVE. FOR SOME PEOPLE IT WORKS BUT IT IS NOT A PRODUCT FOR ME. I HAD CLEAR SKIN WITH MINOR BLEMISHES. NOW I HAVE TO WEAR MAKE UP TO COVER UP THE UGLY PIMPLES. I USE TO ONLY WEAR POWDER, NOW I HAVE TO APPLY FOUNDATION TOO!

Pros:

works for a little while.

Cons:

Stains clothing, your skin gets dependent on it so if you stop using it you break out again.

I didn't need this product but my aunt had bought it and after she received it realized she ordered the wrong thing. It was never opened so she gave it to me. I heard all the rave reviews so I decided to try it. I got the occasional zit so I figured it couldnt hurt. I used it for awhile and when I ran out I just didnt order anymore since I never really had a need for it anyway. Big Mistake. As soon as I stopped using it I broke out constantly. And I noticed all of my clothes and towels were stained with huge bleach spots. So now I am stuck with zits and I need to buy new clothes. Thanks Proactiv!

Pros:

It works for me! Previously I have tried numerous products, and my pimples still comes out big and painful, after proavtiv, my face clears up and i feel great :), not conscious anymore that others are looking at my pimples :)

Cons:

a little inaccessible to buy in malaysia

i guess you can try it out and see if it works for you, for me it's really a blessing that my face can finally be clear and pimple-free! :)

Pros:

Definite improvement. I get fewer pimples and less of the really bad ones. My skin is not perfect but rarely embarrasses me anymore. No more of the pus filled zits, only bumps. I like the mask

Cons:

Expensive, doesn't work perfectly. But, I sometimes get lazy and don't use the toner every time.

Won't get rid of EVERYTHING but gets you to a point where you only need a bit of makeup to look like you have perfect skin.

i liked the mask too.

Didn't work.

Didn't work for me. I break out probably with 4-5 pimples a week and this treatment didnt do a darn thing.

Cons:

doesn't work, period.

i can't believe how much money these two dermatologists have made conning people into believing that their product is somehow different from any over the counter, BP-based acne treatment. don't believe the hype.
