Pros:

Worked for me when nothing else did.

Cons:

Pricey - and delivery at uneven intervals.

I was at the end of my rope and tried it out of sheer desparation. The first 2 weeks saw no improvement, but then in the third week the results were dramatic. Now I can leave the house without mkeup - before, I would need three coats of makeup to be seen in public. No one can expect one product to work for everyone - but Proactive worked for me! If you've tried everything else...why not try Proactive? You might try buying it from another source to see if it works before getting locked into the "club" program.

Pros:

I have moderate acne with some whiteheads, lots of blackheads, and some redness. The BP clears up some of my acne, mostly whiteheads. The mask was good at clearing up bigger acne, but it takes a few days.

Cons:

It doesn't get rid of blackheads that well, the cleanser seems more like a fill in cleanser and I liked other ones I have tried better. The Toner was all right, stung a little. The mask smells horrid.

The BP seems to be what makes this work at all. I say go find a gentle cleanser, use a less expensive BP solution, and a moisturizer. Once I did this, I got better results than I did with proactiv. A friend of mine who had severe acne with cysts and things uses proactiv, has been using it for years now, and she has clear skin now. She had to use Acutane at first to get rid of the cytsts, but the proactiv helped her get rid of the rest of it. I think it really does depend on your skin.

Pros:

nothing really.

Cons:

Dry, flaky skin with more acne than before. Small bottles, not worth what you pay.

It sucks! I used it for 6 weeks, it didn't do anything except for make my skin worse. My skin started getting dry, chapped, and flaky and my acne got worse. I started using it less so that my skin could adjust, even that didn't do anything. My skin was at its worse when i bought proactiv. Their infomercials are the biggest lies i've ever seen. I switched to a MAC oil off! skin cleanser and olay complete moisturizer, my skin has gotten alot better. But i learned my lesson. DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR TV!!!!

Pros:

cleared up my adult skin issues, when I ran out my skin began breaking out again :(

Cons:

Price, and the fact that you have to order it rather than being able to run down to the pharmacy for another bottle.

It did wonders for my skin, although I didn't have major acne, only minor blemishes. It didn't help blackheads, and the 3rd step of the program will bleach your sheets/pillowcases when you sleep at night. The inconsistency in bottle size also means that I run out of step 1 and 3 long before I run out of the toner (I have extra bottles all over the house). Overall, I would recommend it although I wish I didn't have to use it so consistently for it to be effective...

Pros:

I ordered the 3 step system and In the beginning I was very satisfied. It took a few days to work but my acne gradually disapeared. I have problems with picking on my acne, but though it burned it left my skin feeling fresh.

Cons:

The product is WAY to expensive to afford for a 14 year old girl and they gave you WAY to little product. I ran out in 2 weeks even though It was a 3 step system that was supposed to last a month.

DO NOT BUY THE 3 STEP! ITS WAY TO EXPENSIVE FOR THE COMMON PERSON! And its not worth it for what i got from it. I got really clear skin for 1 day and the zits were back. I think, because i am buying this porduct again, the bigger set is worth it. The trial is bull and I am sending it back. I recomend this yes and no. It works but #1 it depends on the skin you have and #2 it matters how much you have. Im going to say no because alot of people spend money on it and dont get there results so NO!

Pros:

clears it up quite quite quickly and prevents new ones

Cons:

lots of steps drys out and peels of skin in public can make your face look wrinkled and sunburned

it can be embarassing but if your use a moisturizer it doesn`t peel as much just use the repairing lotion sparingly and apply no gresy sunscreen

Pros:

Not sure...

Cons:

I am allergic! I went to the doctor and am on meds for the next week. My face is bright red, itchy, burning and my eyes are swelling. This is the worst product I've ever tried!!

Do the allergy test whether you've reacted before or not. I am horrified at what happened to my skin. This is physically worse than any sunburn or windburn. I am sending the product back and will hopefully get some money back. Wish I could send my medical bill as well. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
