Pros:

slight improvement in acne

Cons:

expensive, only a very slight improvement

Ordered this for my son and was extremely disappointed in this product. After the first few weeks there was a very slight improvement in his acne, but it never came close to going completely away...even after 2 months of use. When I called to cancel, their so called customer service rep was rude and couldn't care less about any feedback on the product.

Pros:

Smells good... works only for a couple of months.

Cons:

It stopped working after using it for 2 years... Its very expensive and they kept sending me a million boxes. I've stopped using it and now i'm terrified of what my skin will end up looking like,

Dont ever use it... it gets addictive and when you finally give up on it, you're paranoid that you're going to end up with severe acne. I advise you to never use this product... the reason why they use famous people to sponser in their commercials is because they're rich enough to keep buying it.

Pros:

It clears up the skin for a bit

Cons:

Doesn't have any long term benefits
Only takes away pimples for a short time, but they return and usually bring friends

Its frustrating to use a product that works for a little while and then doesn't work, and then increases my acne problem. The only time proactiv ever fully worked for me for longer then a 2 weeks period was when I would do the steps 3 times a day. Not realistic at all. I can't continue to pay for a product that is expensive and doesn't actually do what it says!

Pros:

easy to use kind of clears skin but not really

Cons:

burning itching & peeling

I have moderate acne so I decided what the hell i'll try it. When we first got it shipped it took FOREVER. I started usikng it and it cleared it up a little but now when I use it, it just gets dry and irritated. It makes my sking look worse oily and the redness doesn't go away. It might be different for other people but for me this "magic medicine" isn't working I just ordered murad's acne complex today and i'm gunna see if it works!

Pros:

Worked for awhile

Cons:

only worked for awhile. Dried my skin out

This product did not work for me. The girl who worked at the kiosk for it told me to give it about 3 packages and it would work, but i'm on my 3rd and i'm breaking out really bad.

Pros:

It worked at first. When I ordered the starter set, I was pleased with the results.

Cons:

When I got my second batch, it dried my skin out so bad that I got a rash. They then sent me the sensitive skin set, and pimples started coming back.

Near the end of my usage of Proactive, my acne started getting worse, like it wasn't even working. Now that I am off of it, I have the most horrible skin I have ever had. I am 28 years old, and you'd think I was 14. The pimples are large, under the skin, and on the jaw line, like I have read with many others. I would not recommend this, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Pros:

None

Cons:

This stuff will ruin your skin. I had minor blemishes. After sticking with the regimen for 2 months it only got worse. I thought if I kept using it that things would eventually get better. Now I have some pretty bad scars from it.

Don't waste your money. I know of a couple of guys that purchased this. It worked good for them. I think it does not work very well for females. Gee maybe it has something to do with our hormones. Maybe they should think about that.

Pros:

It made my skin soft.

Cons:

I suppose I have some strange skin but in the first night of using it I woke up to 5 new white heads. Then 4 more the next day. Then 7. Then 3 more. By the end of the week it looked like connect the dots party on my face.

It works for some skin types. But if you're skin is really sensitive, skip this product. No really, skip it. It'll ruin your skin.
