Pros:

Face is smoother, blackheads and whiteheads disappearing, acne scars fading.

Cons:

slightly red face, gets a little dry if you don't moisturise.

Seems to be working good for me so far. Just remember to moisturise, any face moisturiser will do.

Pros:

They have excellent advertising to get people to fall for this stuff...

Cons:

EXPENSIVE!! I got the "trial" and it still wasn't cheap.

For a mediocre product, it seems ridiculous to have to spend such a large amount of money on it. It kinda works, but not fabulously...I didn't really notice that it got rid of the MAJOR zits, just reduced the number of the smaller ones--heck, I could have just covered those up with makeup and saved myself a hundred bucks!

Pros:

I felt like i was really doing something about my acne So i had confidence....

Cons:

It made my face worse and then SLIGHTY BETTER...

It felt like it was buring my skin off due to redness all over my face but i continued to use it as i thought that it would better with time.

This stuff is over rated! Jessica simpson and all these other celeb's that get paid millions to say they use it... Dont. It's not THAT great.

Pros:

Clears the skin, no irritation

Cons:

none !

Im 14 years old and i had combination skin along my T-zone;my chin,nose,and forehead.After trying many "acne solutions", I tried proactiv. Sure, the other one had cleared my acne a bit, but had not removed it. I still had breakouts all the time. They merely calmed it down slightly. However,in desperation I tried ProActiv because my friends had recommeneded it. Its a long process every morning and night, but isn't clear, radiant skin worth that? If you stop trying simply because it takes too much time, you obviously must not want clear skin as bad as you think. The refining mask is amazing, and clears pimples during the night, and making you wake up with a smile.The toner was not irritating at all. I have VERY sensitive skin, and it did not bother me a bit. The cleanser was flawless, as was the lotion and the overall process.Overall, dedication seeps rewards: ProActiv works if and only if you dedicate time to it. Continue the regimen for about a month and you will have clear skin!

Pros:

it helps reduce the size of zits and if you use it at night your pimples will go away.

Cons:

LEAVES YOUR SKIN EXTEMELY OILY. i could fry chiken off of my face. my skin was never oily before proactive and now even when i stop using it the oil never goes away. it is very strong on skin

proactive is for people with serious acne. if you have a few problem areas it becomes too strong for your face. i use it at night then use other products during the day like anti oil stuff because my skin is so oily.

Pros:

It leaves your skin feeling soft and clean after application

Cons:

It depigmented my skin leaving white spots where my acne was. Starts to feel greasy after the initial "fresh" feeling is gone.

It didn't work for me. It left my skin looking worse than before I started using it. Makes me more self concious with these ugly white spots I had to tan away.. but even then they are there. THANKS PROACTIV!

Pros:

it cleans your face?

Cons:

It doesnt work AT all, it never cleared my face.

Do NOT use proactive. To say that it is the number one product? thats rediculous. the only way possible anyone can say it is number one is if they payed doctors tons of money to lie, which is what did happen.That is also very sad, being that now people suffering from acne are fooled and continuoisly living with acne because careless doctors lied. DO NOT USE PROACTIVE.

Pros:

If used everyday morning and night and all steps were done it usually worked completely.

Cons:

It smells, you have to do all steps, it makes oily faces more oily, it makes simple acne much worse, it stains clothes, ruins showers, and you can never go a day without it

I used this product for 2 years and when I went to a organic spa for a week everyone there was so anti proactiv. I wandered why, and everything they were saying made sense, the chemicals are to harsh, which explains why it stained clothes and stripped the finish off my shower. When I stopped using it, my face broke out worse then I had ever seen it in my life not to mention I never had blackheads before and now have them EVERYWHERE. I found something better to use and more simple and Im amazed I stuck with that crap for so long.
