Pros:

Feels like your getting a good cleaning. Your skin gets better temporarlly. Used it for 2 years.

Cons:

Stops working in the long run. If you miss a day of cleaning, you start breaking out again.

This will work well on people with mild acne, but if you have either moderate or severe acne I suggest not to buy this product, and that your better off with over-the-counter products that are cheaper. Although I used this product for 2 years and I didn't have any irritations or side effects, it started to cause rashs on my skin this past month. So I went to a dermatologist and he said that I was having a allergic reaction. It's kind of odd because I been using this product for 2 years and now I'm having allergic reactions to it . =(

Pros:

It worked wonders for me, years ago. So I guess for some people it (the whole system) still works.

Cons:

For some reason, now my skin just breaks out when I use the WHOLE system (cleaner, salylic acid crap, repairing lotion). It's aweful. I dont understand how it worked when I was a teen and now it triggers acne. Guess it only works for my puberty.

I just can't use the whole system any more. The price sucks @ss also! After making hunders of millions of dollars, you would think they would bring the price down somewhat, like normal manufactorers do. I do use the repairing/night lotion. It works great by itself. I just wash my face with a fragrance-free clean soap (Pure & Natural brand), then use the lotion in the mornings and before bed. Now, I only get an occasional zit, here or there. Nothing nasty.

Pros:

Helps the breakouts I have helps new ones from forming.

Cons:

At first my skin was dry, peely and itchy.

I haven't used it for very long and already I notice a huge difference in my skin, its a lot smoother and healthier looking, I mean yeah I still have a few blemishes but no new ones have popped up. So overall this is a really great product! Just a side note for dry skin use the "Green tea mostuire" it calms and sooths your skin and smells fantastic!

Pros:

It took away all the little acne,

Cons:

but then i get these huge hard things. It made my acne worse. It seems to me that it may work for people but only for a short time until the skin becomes resistent. I would not suggest this product.

Don't bother, it is no miracle. Look for something else.

Pros:

It appears to work and feels great on your skin.

Cons:

Experienced really dry skin after usage...

It is a product that appears to work. I would reccomend people consult their dermatologist but yes, you should probably try this.... you never know, it might work for you.

Pros:

leaves skin decently soft

Cons:

DOES NOT WORK!!!!! I thought if i use the system for a while it may start to work, I have used it for a year now and my skin still looks HORRIBLE. I still break out all the time. The product is only for people who have very MINOR cases of acne.

You should only use this product if you are someone who only gets montly breakouts -- a few pimples or something minor. NOT FOR PEOPLE WITH SEVERE ACNE

Pros:

Usually works well, cleans skin, non-irritating, reduces acne overall

Cons:

Doesn't always prevent breakouts, doesn't help with oily skin, EXPENSIVE, annoying to wait for mail shipments, can't skip a treatment

I had a pretty bad case of acne since middle school, and everything else I used just aggravated it. I tried Proactiv and it worked pretty quickly, so I stuck with it for years. It IS effective - just not all the time. Big zits still flare up pretty frequently. The only difference is that the product makes them go away a little faster than they would otherwise. I'm currently looking for another treatment to switch to. It's good stuff, but it's not the miracle that the infomercials say.

Cons:

packages arrive late

product doesn't really do what it says it will do, i used the product on a daily basis and never saw an improvement; for less money i can get something at my pharmacy that's more effective and i don't have to wait or pay shipping costs. I believe it's purely celebrity endorsement that has this product selling not it's effectiveness.
