Pros:

Works okay at first....but ONLY if you use it every day and night....would be good as a last resort for SERIOUS acne. NOT for people with occasional outbreaks.

Cons:

Eventually changes skin consistency. Makes your skin dryer and more leathery and dependent upon daily use of pro-activ!

DO NOT use this if you don't have serious acne. I had occasional zits and thought pro-activ would make my skin better. However, Pro-activ completely changed my skin....making it greasier at times, dryer at times and more wrinkly and leatherish. It was like my skin "required" pro-activ to make it clear, when before I could just use any old face wash. It does get rid of some zits but beware that it will change your skin- but not for the better!

Celeberties lie. People are followers.

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

2 Days after using this product, I woke up with my eyes swelled closed from the dramatic allergic reaction I had. I had to drive to the nearest clinic to get a cortzone shot and perscription strength Benedryl and another perscription.

Just because it's designed by dermatologists does not mean it's been proven safe. Fair warning! They claim to have a gentlier formula, but don't trust them.

Pros:

Ok, I haven't seen one perfect review, either you guys dont know how to use it or dont follow directions.... Proactiv has worked extremely well for me. If you're consistent and follow the directions, its works wonders. It has completely cleared me up

Worth Getting provided you use it correctly!

Pros:

The celebrities and stories on the website

Cons:

It makes your skin really dry around the edges, and makes you go red!

I just can't even begin. I got this it cost me £45 (About $80ish)! I started using it, and I really thought that it would work. I've tried so many things and honestly it was the celebs that convinced me to buy it. Well don't even belive any of it. It's CRAP!!! i'm SO gutted! :( My skin looks really bad now and I have far more blemishes than I did before, I'm just so upset right now I can't even tell you. Please don't waste your money on this :(

Takes a while to work.

Clears your acne slowly but affectively at an affordable price.

Pros:

it seems like a great product on tv & makes your skin really smooth when first use.

Cons:

it dried out skin, bleached some of bath towels, too much money & you must use everyday

This is a product that you MUST use everyday or its not going to work meaning you have to keep buying it after you use it all. The first 2 weeks i used it, it work but after missing two days of using it i broke out worse than what my face was before using it. It dried my skin out so bad it started faking and it bleached some bath towels. It's way too much for a product that doesnt work as you think. After it bleached my towels and made my skin worse i started using a walmart brand cleanser which i should have use before buying proactiv. A cleanser thats $5.99 has helped me better. This product sucks, its not worth the money!

Pros:

Easy to obtain and to follow as a regime. Works initially...but

Cons:

Dried my skin out really bad, made my skin leathery and gave me dry lines and broken capillaries. It didnt do anything really for my mild/moderate acne and as soon as I stopped I broke out badly. Plus it bleached my towels, bath mat and a few clothes

If you dont have very severe acne I would not recommend it. There are cheaper products available that work heaps better. Dont get sucked into the "celebrity advertising" like I did --- I wasted years on this when it turns out the simple Cetaphil and Benzac regime works better.

Pros:

Proactive is about the only stuff that has helped me as far as medication, but it just helped, it did not fix the problem.

Cons:

You need to keep using it more and more for it to keep working, and if you stop IT'S BADDDDD

I have been using The Secret for the past 5 days, and my skin in amazing. In case you don't know The Secret is a book. The basic idea is that you can have anything you want using the secret, I tried it for my skin and it is working!!!!! I did not know where to post this?
