Pros:

proactiv solution does work its a great product

my skin feels great and i never look better in all my life.

The thing is most of you people buy your products from London.I also live in London so when yo say the customer services is bad i understand. If you really really what you skin look better you should try the american vistion you will use it the same way the customer service is better. It does take a little longer to come because its from over seas all you have to do is visit

Cons:

The London vistion is bad and drys out your skin. and takes a very long time to do the job.

please do try the american viston of proactiv solution. you will love its hard to here some of you having diffeiculties with your skin. Hope this helps you to get clear skin.

Pros:

* Skin looked radiant
* Hardly got any pimples
* Felt soft and clean

Cons:

When i first started using it my face also dried out and burnt when i used the renewing moisturiser, so i used my own 'simple light moisturiser' after using the proactiv products and this got rid of the dryness straight away:)

Everyones skin is different but i'd recommend that you give it a try, and if it does dry your skin out too much try using a light moisuriser as well and see if it helps! You'll never know if it's going to work for you unless you try it. It really helped me

Pros:

Cleared up my acne
Left my skin feeling smooth
Smells great

Cons:

Leaves your face a little shiny

I've had moderate acne for about 5 years now and tried just about everything until a friend of mine suggested proactiv. Seriously, IT WORKS! Different people have different skin types and react to different products in different ways, but I would highly recommend it to anyone with moderate acne. The only problem is that it does leave your face a little shiny, but I would take that over clear skin any day.
May 8, 2012

Pros:

Quick Result in one or two weeks for moderate acne.
Good Toner

Cons:

Expensive
Cannot clear acne
dryness and tightness

I have used proactive for more than a year and I must say it controls and neutralize my acne but never completely eliminated it thats why I have to use it continously. Recently I stop using it because it's quite expensive..60 dollars a month is not a joke..I found other alternative...

Pros:

Cheap, simple.

Cons:

Not effective AT ALL.

Nothing that appears to help at all. Yes all skin is different but my friends and I both never saw any reductions in pimple size, color, or texture of skin. I religiously used these products for about 3-4 months and actually got comments on how my skin actually looked WORSE. Do not use this.

Pros:

well known name.

Cons:

Dries Up Skin
Expensive
Doesn't Work
False Advertising

DO NOT BUY if you are looking to clear acne and do not wish to have peeling, dry, burnt skin. **THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION AND IF YOU FEEL THAT IT MAY WORK FOR YOU AND YOU CAN GET YOUR MONEY BACK IF IT DOESN'T, TRY IT. YOU NEVER KNOW.**
March 20, 2012

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

*leaves face:
-dry
-itchy
-red
-burning
*the chemical smell

i had never had acne, but the first 5 days of using this, my face broke out into little bumps all over my face. i was told that it would get worse before getting better, but i wasnt going to risk that chance. i washed my face 3 times everyday for a week with dove soap after using this product and the bumps are gone now! never again will i use this product!! i gave this product a 1 out of 5 rating, but thats only because i couldnt choose ZERO

Pros:

None.

Cons:

The step @ which is the toner caused my face to "burn" and I haad to wash it off. Followed by breakouts and rash on face.

There are other acne products which are better than this and more gentle for people who have acne and sensitive skin.
