Pros:

The refining mask is amazing. It really works well especially before a big event. The 2.5% BP works very well with the Dan Kern Regimen.

Cons:

the 3 step kit is very pricey and no results came from using it. The cleanser is too grainy and rough.

Not worth the money, but if you can just buy the refining mask...

Pros:

I never had any mass breakouts and when I first used proactiv it worked really well and made my face feel clean.

Cons:

After a while my face became immuned and it stopped working. Also, it's very pricey.

Not as good as it seems.

Pros:

I've been using proactiv for a year. it isnt perfect - its a lil drying, but i solved this by using a non-clogging perfume-free moisturiser like QV or cetaphil after toning, before applying the lotion. it's really worked since then.

Cons:

it's really pricey, and on top of the moisturiser you gota apply huge amounts of the lotion, and it runs out real fast. if you apply heaps of moisturiser, the cleansers fine.

great, if you're willing to foot out the money consistently

Pros:

Hope.
The sulfur mask actually worked well for me until I ran out.

Cons:

It was too expensive and honestly, like any other OTC product but packaged together. It also bleached my towels and clothes.

It did improve my skin a little but I think it was the free bonus mask that did the trick. My mom ordered it for me when I started breaking out again in college. I had cleared up before with a Clean and Clear product but my skin stopped responding to it. I used it last summer until winter break, and still had bad skin (I get a lot of small pimples in concentrated areas). I don't think it's worth the money since it didn't work for me but it has worked well for a friend of mine.

Pros:

Most of my face has never been clearer.

Cons:

Lotion smells funny, too strong and parts of my face are over dry. esp. around mouth.

this product is good for certain skin types, but can over dry others. be careful and moisurize. Don't over exfoliate with cleanser.

Pros:

Liked their Cleanser

Cons:

Harsh on my skin. Smelled bad. Little results after a month!

I have tried a lot and proactive really disappointed me. It cleared a few of my pimples after a month of using it religiously but made my face dry and red. Even after not wearing makeup for a while, it never even got me half clear. Very disappointed, i can't recommend this product. Hillary

Pros:

smoothes skin out

Cons:

makes your face shiny, can be drying if used in excess

it works okay i think i might change to arbonne though because i hear that proactiv doesnt clean deep into the tissue layers, only the top layer, whereas arbonne gets deep down and has good success stories.

Pros:

it sure cleared up my acne and pimples and there are less on my face then usuall. the tonner and cream really helps when u use it and ever since i used it, my face hasnt been so oily.

Cons:

there are still some pimples on my face from time to time, and i mean like one big pimple.

if i dont use the tonner and the cream on days because i forget too, my face gets really dry and ends up getting oily.

use the face wash then tonner then cream, dont skip and tonner and the cream like i sometimes do. also if u usaually go to the doctors for medician, dont use proavtic because it wont work

Pros:

Worked very well at the beginning

Cons:

Burning sensation on skin. Super dry skin. Acne still came back

Don't use Proactive if you only breakout occasionally, like I do.
