Pros:

It does work in terms of clear up the skin and clean out the acnes after only two usages.

Cons:

The cleanser is very gritty and I doubt if it actually irritate my skins. It STINGS and BURNS my skin BADLY...I felt the uncomfortness throughout the whole day...

I didn't have terrible acne when I was at early 20's, but just started have serious acne problem two month ago, especially on the forehead. Proactiv does work and I see immediate result, but it really made my skin feel uncomfortable, stings and burns very bad..but hey, if it clean up the skin better any other product, ppl would go for it...

Pros:

It seem to work good the first couple of weeks, but then I started getting a few large pimples.

Cons:

It's quite expensive and the repairing lotion makes my 50 year old skin look weird! It's like I have a plastic coating on my face and when I smile, I have lines like a plastic wrap being stretched! I'll go back to Aveeno.

It's not for me. Maybe for someone with younger skin. I will try to find an astringent like theirs, with no alcohol, and use their system- daily cleansing grains, non alcohol astringent and lotion. I guess I learned something from them.

Pros:

Clears it up for a time like no other medication I have tried.

Cons:

Doesn't last at all and they ship them automatically.

It just doesn't last...that really made me mad. They wanted to continue sending me products and no matter what I did, it just stopped working.

Pros:

Short term solution

Cons:

Stops working!!!

This product worked great for about the first year and now I'm breaking out again! This is not a solution, only a temporary fix. It's not worth the money because you do not get long term results!

Pros:

Proactiv really works for me. I spent several years before switching to Proactiv using prescription drugs which were equally expensive but not equally effective. I have recommended Proactiv to several of my friends.

Cons:

Yes, it's very expensive and if I could find a cheaper product, I would use it.

I would highly recommend Proactiv. I had terrible acne before I started using it and now I rarely have more than one or two small blemishes at a time. I was extrememly skeptical before I tried it becuase I had spent so long using prescription drugs to no avail, but it really did work. If you can afford it, I would recommend you try it. And if you find a cheaper substitute, let me know!

Pros:

At first it seemed to work.

Cons:

Dried my skin up and made it very itchy. After I stopped using it my skin got much much worse. Also the company will charge your credit card w/o notice and send you more product even if you only signed up for the trial package!!!!

If I knew then what I know now I would never have used this product! It will make your skin break out more once you stop using it.

Pros:

works pretty good

Cons:

smells bad, can over dry at times, shipping is ablsolutely rediculous, too expensive

i use proactiv and it werks. however it has some flaws in a few areas. shipping policy-REDICULOUS. i called the company up because i was running out within 8 weeks of getting it. i wasn't getting it until ten weeks because altho they ship in 8 weeks it takes 2 to get here. anyway, they suggested i move my shipping date back 2 weeks. so i asked them what that would do to the billing arrangement. they said in oder for me to receive it in 8 weeks i would have to move it back to every 6 weeks shipping and send the payment every four weeks to ensure that it would be shipped on time. BOTTOM LINE: the product i am already paying $60.00 every 6 weeks for just became $60.00 once a month. it is rediculous, they certainly aren't sayin that on their info mercials. i pay enough for this sh*t as it is. so now i guess i'll have to put up with the break out again every 6 weeks. as well i now think my skin is reliant on it. i break out without using it almost immediately. must be good for the skin:/

Pros:

I've used this almost every day, twice a day, for around 4 years. I had mild acne beforehand, and it did seem to help. My skin felt smoother, and it cleared up all my whiteheads, even though I still have around 2 slight breakouts a month.

Cons:

Didn't get rid of the blackheads. The 3rd step always lasts way longer than the 1st and 2nd step, and the 3rd expires earlier.

A very good product to try. Try it for around a month, see how it works on your skin. I'd say if it doesn't get any better within a month, don't bother using it anymore. (If you're a girl and you seem to have breakouts before/after/during your periods, monitor how well proactive effects you at different times during the month, if at all!) This product is VERY, VERY good if you want to simply get into a routine every day that will at least slightly help your skin. I helped me to get into a routine that helped my skin a lot.
