Pros:

It makes your skin look and feel amazing!! Beautiful clear skin.

Cons:

It's kinda expensive.

Proactiv really worked for me. I wouldn't stop using it for anything in the world. **Advice to some people. Proactiv is not an overnight miracle thing. It takes time. And you have to use it everyday!! If your skin gets dry and flaky...that's normal. Thats why they also offer moisturizers. I think everyone with acne should give it a try.

Pros:

Works at first. Skin felt extremely soft and smooth after first use.

Cons:

Dried my skin terribly, so I switched to just using it once a day. Then I ran out of the lotion way before the other two bottles were empty. It did not clear my skin, and was very time consuming.

I tried it for a month, and I didn't see enough improvement to try it again. I'll try something else next time.

Pros:

skin isn't dry, and soothes my skin instead of irritating it.

Cons:

I just don't like using a cotton ball for the toner but that's about it.

My face had cleared up and the trick is to only wash your face day time and night. That was my problem before because I had such dry skin in the past.

Pros:

I'm surprised at all the comments about drying of the skin, which I've never experienced. I especially like the toner. Overall the system has worked for me, and when I've stopped using it to try something else, I've regreted it and gone back.

Cons:

Previously the line was limited, tho now I'm glad to see there are eye creams, make up removers, and a salicylic night cream, as well as limited make up items (powers, concealers), available thru QVC.

I like it and would recommend it.

Pros:

-clears up existing acne well
-skin feels smooth
-easy to use

Cons:

-doesn't prevent breakouts well
-exspensive
-once you start you CAN'T stop, or you'll break out worse than before

I have really oily skin so this works well for me, but I have friends with normal skin who use it and it dries out their skin and causes peeling. Best for bad acne, not great for occasional breakouts. The most effective product at clearing acne I've ever used. But you have to use it forever once you start, can't skip even 1 day.

Pros:

This product gets shipped right to you, you don't have to go out and buy it whenever you run out and it is unscented.

Cons:

It makes acne worse, there are 3 steps, you have to use the first step for 1-2 minutes, it makes skin oily, and it is expensive.

This product doesn't work and it is too expensive and you have to pay $40 every two months. It makes acne worse and it doesn't help at all. I hated this product. It is too much of a hassle to do all three steps twice a day. It also mad my face feel oily.

Pros:

i started to see results immediatley and it kept my face not COMPLETELY clear, but clear fo the most part.

Cons:

you start to break out if you go a day without using it, and to see results, you have to use the products together

I really like proactive. I've been using it for about 4 years and i use it twice a day. I have really oily skin, so i've recently started using the daily oil control and i can really tell a difference. My face still has a little oil but not near as much.
