Pros:

Clears up acne

Cons:

Dries skin

Very good products.I had a lot of painful pimples around my jawline and on my chin and now they're drying out. My my skin texture is overall bumpy but now its smoother. The blackheads on my nose are making their way out. I love the cleanser, love the toner, but be careful with the repairing lotion. Make sure to only apply it thinly to the affected areas. I put it all over my face but put too much under my chin and got raw and red. Its better after a couple days of moisturizer.

Pros:

It does work (slowly). The first month I used it my acne got worse but after a while it really did start to clear up. It reduces the redness and the clay mask works well on new pimples, and it doesn't sting.

Cons:

It's really expensive. It works as fast as a snail can travel around the world. Sometimes makes acne worse.

Proactiv is O.K. It has some good points but some really bad ones too.

Pros:

Does clear up severe to moderate acne, smells decent, mask works great overnight

Cons:

has to be used everyday, you become a slave to the proactiv gods, and does little to nothing for blackheads

All the chemicals in Proactiv do more harm than good in my opinion, everyone including myself seem to find that once you stop using it you are screwed. I've used it for over 3 years now and can't stop for fear that my acne will keep coming back.

Pros:

It really cleared up my skin right away when I first starting using the products and have only had problems when I skip a couple days. I've been using this product for over 9 years.

Cons:

The cleanser runs out before everything else and I have to buy extra bottles of it (it comes in a 3 pack on the website or at the mall).

It works great for me. It's a little expensive, especially since I buy extra bottles of cleanser every six months or so, but I figure it is worth it if it keeps my skin clear. Make sure you use the oil free moisture to keep your skin from drying out. Again, I've been using Proactiv for over 9 years, so something must be working, but try it for yourself.

Pros:

cleared up at first

Cons:

made my skin over dry around mouth when I would talk and eat I could feel my skin cracking.
Made my get cystic acne on my chin and bottom side of face

I purchased proactive because a lot of friends have reccomended it, but also some hated it, so I figured it workes differently for everyone. I ordered mine from the shopping channel so proactive memeber ship does not have my credit card number to keep billing me which is a plus. But if you have seen the commercial with Jessica Simpson with her before picture of the acne... that it how my face looked after the product. Deffinately would not reccomend it, I would recommend VICY NORMADERM it comes with the face exfoliating cleansing gell toner and antiimperfecting hydrating care.. 39.99 for everything

Pros:

Very little acne, but still the occasional zit

Cons:

My skin IS smoother, but there are still tiny bumps on it and some redness

If you need something that will only slightly improve your acne because you really don't have much or break out every once in a blue moon, I suggest using this product.

Pros:

Not to expensive. Works for certain people.

Cons:

Didnt work for me.

I has minimal amount of pimples to begin with. Since using this product i have has more acne than ever before. Alot around the bottom of my chin and side of face. My skin also looks dry and grey. I have rung the call centre and they have advised me to purchase the facial mask aswell (another sales pitch i guess). I recommend people to try it for themselves. Just because i didnt work for me doesnt mean it wont for you. I am really disappointed as now im left with more acne than i started with, but i could work differently for others

Cons:

I had a billing dispute for $45.90 and was turned over to collections.

Proactive is not a reputable company to do business with. Watch what you are billed for and what they ship to you. It is hard to resolve a billing issue with them
