Pros:

clears pimples

Cons:

doesnt clear blackheads, burns skin, dries it out

it worked pretty good for me. everyone says it gets worse before the acne starts to clear but after the first day of using proactive, i already saw some of the acne clear up. it didnt clear everything, but it cleared a lot of it.

Pros:

Worked first time.

Cons:

Expensive
Makes skin dry and red.

Instead of getting rid of the acne, it seemed to hide it more than anything. Doesn't work.

Pros:

The cleanser makes your skin super soft, the toner isn't harsh and watery, it actually has a bit of a milky/creamy sense to it, though not overwhelmingly so, and the lotion is gentle.

Cons:

You have to order the products, you can't just run to the store to pick it up when it runs out. The cost is also a bit more than some other products.

Try it! It may not work for everyone, but it doesn't hurt to try. Nothing works for everyone! And if it works for you, the cost is worth it. Can't blame a person for wanting to make a buck these days. They deserve my money if their product works for me. You can't expect people to practically give away their products.

Pros:

Simple 3 step process...

Cons:

Toner made my skin burn and itch very badly only and in the end I had very dry skin.

Why are people paying $50 for this product? Because something had to pay for Jessica Simpson's paycheck. Proactiv works initially, only to dry skin out terribly leading to further breakouts. In the end, it's not worth it.

Pros:

Did clear up acne, left my skin feeling less greasy.

Cons:

Makes skin dry and itchy, stopped working after a while. Also very expensive and annoying to order off the website, which has automatic shipping.

I have struggled with acne since my early teens. I had terrible acne all over my face, mainly forehead and chin, and after seeing several dermatologists and many prescription medications, nothing would help. I decided to try proactiv after my sister had tried it and it worked for her. I could feel results after the first use. It did clear up a lot of my acne and made my skin feel soft, but after about 2 years of use I have stopped seeing any results. I am now looking for a new regimine.

Pros:

This stuff is amazing. The only treatment that has ever worked for me. I've had a clear complexion for over year now :)

Cons:

The price sucks and you're gonna have to be extremely consistent in using it. As soon as you stop for a week or so, you'll break out like hell.
Oh, and the three-step process is a bitch every morning and night...takes like 20 minutes.

ONLY use this if nothing else has worked for you. It worked for me and friends of mine, and it can work for you too, if you're willing to pay for it and use it TWICE a day, EVERY day.

Pros:

Cleared my acne, inexpensive, doesn't dry out my skin like other products i've used.

Cons:

You have to order online or by phone and shipping and handling fees really add up!

I've been using Proactiv Solution for 3 months now and it has worked! Of course, i still get a pimple here and there, but my face is about 95% better! I use the 3-step system along with the refining mask, green tea moisturizer, and the VitaClear vitamins that they also offer. I follow the directions exactly and i'm trying my best to be on a healthy, balanced diet. Also, i don't use any foundation. Even when i was just starting this regimen i tried to stay off of makeup as much as possible because it can still make you break out even if it's oil-free and non-comedogenic. So try to not use cosmetics girls! Good luck!

Pros:

Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields are dermetologists. Money-back guarantee.

Cons:

Leaves you with drying. Mentions that helps prevent new pimples from forming but this was the exact opposite. Never once mentions that it doesn't work for everyone + individual results may vary. Deceives you into thinking it works for everyone.

Doesn't work for everyone/most people. Don't waste your money or time or your fabrics.
