Pros:

first couple of days it worked

Cons:

but after that it started making my skin worse,
breaking out even more. If you have very oily
skin I would not recommened this. It makes it worse.

I know some people that this product has worked for but not for me. It made it worse with more breakouts. I think this product is to harsh and can make people with oily skin even worse. I would not recommened to anyone.

Pros:

The product smelled good and the refining mask worked great for my red marks.

Cons:

It made me breakout a little bit extra and even when i continued to use it, i saw no improvement.

Proactiv isn't that great for sensitive skin types and made me have the acne that i have to deal with today. Before i used it, i had mild acne, now that i used it it made me breakout WORSE and im stuck with red marks everywhere now. Dont risk worsening your skin with proactiv because it'll come back and bite you in the "you know what".

Pros:

you will never break out again and your skin will look amazing

Cons:

you must use it religiously to see results

I know first hand what some of you are saying about proactiv making your skin itchy, sensitive, red, etc... That used to happen to me too until i started incorporating a moisturizer into my routine... here are a few tips: Use proactiv night AND day EVERYDAY to see results. Use a moisturizer and sunscreen EVERYDAY OR ELSE YOUR SKIN WILL BECOME RED, IRRITATED, AND/OR FEEL REALLY TIGHT!!! that is the key to proactiv if you follow your regular routine with a moisturizer (i use olay regenerist) then you will see the full results! and SUNSCREEN IS A MUST! acne products leave your skin extra sensitive to the sun... BELIEVE ME I STARTED USING PROACTIV WHEN I WAS IN 6TH GRADE!! I AM NOW 18 YEARS OLD AND A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND THIS STUFF WORKS!!! i also recommend you use an eye cream (I use olay regenerist eye) also don't expect to see perfect skin in a week it takes time but you will notice a big change by week 3!

Pros:

Our son is 14, The product has helped reduce his acne.

Cons:

Proactiv damages clothing, sheets, towels and any colored fabic that it touches. The price is very high considering that you will need to replace clothing. Weaid $26 a month with about $250 extra by the time we figure out what was causing the damage.

Proactiv has rude customer service. Similar products can be bought at the local Walmart must less expensive. People should band together and file a class action law suite against these crooks. You are sent a 2 month supply that only last 1 month, but your are billed twice.

Pros:

the part of my face that DOESN'T have acne looks smoother than ever before.....

Cons:

my face feels irriated,dry and tight. my pimples aren't clearing up, but they are becomming bigger and redder!i have never felt this dry before!kinda pricy.

This not the miracle product that i thought it would be. I was shocked that it made my skin WORSE! i guess i'm a sucker for good commericials! The truth is if you're skin is sensitive or you have little acne, this is not for you. find something that will sooth and heal the skin, not attack it!! if anyone knows an acne product that will sooth and heal- let me know!!

Pros:

It seems to work well so far.It works better than the wal-mart copy. It's not so harsh and smells a lot better.

Cons:

Their shipping estimate as stated on their site is for shipping to the guthy renker warehouse, not to your door. I paid for rush shipping and 7 days later they emailed me saying it just showed up at the guthy warehouse.They replied to me saying.

I'm done buying from these people. I should know better than to do an autoship plan. I hope it's easier to get out of the deal than it was to get my second shipment of product. I like to be in charge of my credit card and I like to buy a product when I choose not when Guthy Renker decides to charge me for more weather I want it then or not. I'm sure it keeps their overhead down and when you have a celebrity list like theirs to pay for I guess they need to charge somebody for it. I'll try Murad next I think but I'm done with Guthy Renker; to bad too, we actually like the Proactiv product.

Pros:

It smells ok.

Cons:

Horrible for sensitve skin. Adverse side effects. Expensive. Packaging makes it hard to get the right amt of product. Can bleach hair and clothing.

This product was horrible for my skin. I got huge zits with pus in them and several smaller zits as well. It irritated my skin and made it turn red. I later discovered that I have sensitve skin. This product is NOT good for that. I always had a hard time getting the "right" amount of stuff - I either get too much or too litte. May work for others but not for me. DO NOT use this product if you are allergic to benzoyl peroxide or have sensitive skin!!!! Way too expensive - waste of my time and my money.

Pros:

Get's you really excited after watching the commercials.

Cons:

Really dried my skin and caused burn marks. I had mild acne, occassioanlly on my chin, between eyebrows, on my cheeks. Now I have a severe rash between my eyebrows and mild burn marks and bigger pimples than before.

Cleared my face remarkably the first few days and now it seems that my face is worse. I think I am going to adjust my program by not using the deep cleaning wash and only using the mask at night. I also didn't use sunscreen and I read too late that I should. I really hope this works.

Pros:

At first it works really well. I felt a difference in the first time I used it. It worked really well.

Cons:

At first your face does dry up a little bit. Also, I have been using the product over a year now. I stopped using it for a month or two (i kept forgetting), and then I started again. It stopped working. Its started working again just recently.

Proactiv works really well. Just make sure you remember to use it twice a day every day.
