Pros:

Very few actually.

Cons:

Seemed to work great after two days, but then broke out in a very red, raised rash that hurt alot to touch and to talk. Took Vitamin E on my skin to help the pain and bring the redness down.

Not recommended unless you know you don't have an allergy to the product, Benzol peroxide. May try on a small area if your absolutely needing to try it.

Pros:

none.

Cons:

this product made my acne worse. Left my skin feeling too oily after I used it and caused more breakouts.

Dont use this product if you have severe acne. It will only make irritate your skin and make your breakouts worse. Use if you have very mild acne. If you notice in the comercials, no one has severe acne, everyone has very light acne.

Pros:

It works for while, and it will keep it clean for a while.

Cons:

You have to pretty much be 100 percent committed to using it for it to work well
Makes your skin oily

It doesnt work on me any more. I even got the extra strength formula, and once again it worked for a while, then quit. Honestly, your better off with some deep cleansing stuff, a regular refining mask, and some oil removing wipes. Your skin will feel a whole lot cleaner if you use that stuff,

Pros:

The cleanser is somewhat refreshing, and the toner gives you the the feeling that your face is healthy, and clean. And it temporarly stops the irritating feeling pimples sometimes get ( and sometimes relieves puffiness and redness)

Cons:

The cleanser smells unique (not in a good way). And the toner stings, and itchs like crazy, and to top it off the lotion drys your skin out massivly, and sometimes your face gets really, really flakey (I'm not kidding)

When I got this in the mail, I was so excited. A new cleanser, a new toner, and a new lotion. The same day it arrived I tried it for the first time. The cleanser was refreshing, but the feel of my skin felt somewhat uneven, and sometimes even rough. I then applied the cleanser, and had an instant dryness feel. My skin felt like it was going to tear, or fall off. Next I applied the lotion, it didn't help. It felt cakey, and just increased the dryness. Being reasonable I figured my skin was getting used to it. Fast forward to two weeks, my skin was flaking,and had ashy lines, and skin flakes falling off. Then I ran into my bathroom, put the set back in it's box, and through it away. What's the point of this story, STAY AWAY FROM PROACTIV, IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE, AND YOUR SKIN.

Pros:

Nothing, I don't even like the smell.

Cons:

It made my skin itchy, dried it right out, and i broke out more.

Proavtic is glorified. They make it out to be so much more then it is. When in reality it is just junk.

Pros:

it smells good but that's about it!

Cons:

it dried my face out terribly! I even used their moisturizer, but nothing worked! My acne wasn't severe, but now it has gotten worse!

Don't waste your money! The commercials look good but no results whatsoever! Complete sham!!!
