Pros:

took away most of the pimples from my forehead. my skin is a bit more smooth now i guess

Cons:

made my skin more oily, doesn't prevent new pimples like it said it does i still get new ones, seems not to be working anymore.

it's okay i guess. it really depends on the person using it as to whether or not it will work. i am going to keep using it with the hope that it will eventually work and get rid of all of my pimples.

Pros:

it took care of some of the bigger pimples, but i still got breakouts.

Cons:

it doesnt work as well if you don't use it twice a day, everyday. it's kind of expensive and you have to have it automatically withdrawn from your account, which i often forgot about. plus, it bleached the tops of my eyebrows orange!

it seems to work really great for a few people, and adequately for others. i'd recommend just trying to buy something from the stores. its much less hassle with basically the same results.

Pros:

got rid of my acne and acne scars, and blackheads are now gone. diminished all of my clogged pores, smoothed out my complexion and bumpy skin

Cons:

the toner burns for the first 4 days but then you get used to it
dry /flaky skin [but this is resolved by a good moisturizer ^-^]

my acne was light/moderate, and the acne & acne scars i got was really aggravating. then my rich cousin showed up at my door saying she got me proactiv. i was really skeptical at first but then i said oh what the heck, might as well, you know? nothing to lose. my skin is oily and sensitive, yet i experienced no redness from proactiv. the kind of acne i had was whiteheads, blackheads and small bumps. basically i didnt get cysts. after 1 week, my mom noticed that my acne was gone . i was so happy! the only thing that made me mad was the flaky skin it caused, but that was quickly resolved when i used aloe moisturizer from the mario badescu skin care line [a little pricey but it works.] so basically if you try proactiv, MAKE SURE to have a good moisturizer. cuhz not all moisturizers will work.. i had flaky skin for a couple days and it wasnt resolved by my usual olay moisturizer, sadly T.T; i think you should really try it. if you follow the regimen strictly then you W

Pros:

It cleared up a little. It never made me break out more. Dosent really sting.

Cons:

It dried my face out i didnt really like the smell. I mean it wasnt horrible. The face mask didnt work for me and the green tea moisturizer stung and made my face red...not to mention it dried my face out more. It cleared my skin up sorta.

If it works for you USE IT. But it didn't work that great for me. It made my skin look better than it did before but i still had large pores and little pimples and little red bumps on my cheeks. And when i used it on my body it made the acne red and splotchy. Plus when i used it sometimes my face would be red for a day. I dont know why. It also made any make-up i wore look crappy. I dont have bad acne so i dont know why it didnt work. But everyone has differant skin...

Pros:

Smelled good, affordable, and i love the face mask.

Cons:

It didn't work its just that simple. It made my skin dry and itchy also would make my face burn at times when I applied other creams (sunscreen etc.) also caused redness.

It doesn't work on me. I know people who have tried it and had' wonderful things happen but for me it just made my face look and feel like a stinging itching red mess.

Pros:

Smell was nice

Cons:

It didn't get the make-up off of my skin so I broke out more using Proactiv than other products.

It made my skin REALLY dry and itchy

It works for some people but not for everyone.

It reduces SOME acnes.

It doesnt work the first week or so. I've been using it for the past 3 months and it looks completely the same.

Pros:

good scent

Cons:

SUCKS!!!

I used this product for 2 years, and saw no results. In fact, my acne got worse. I spit on ProActiv. I am now using the clean and clear advantage kit and it is cheaper and it actually works. F**k ProActiv! Do not buy it. You are just wasting money. It costs $50 per shipment, so it's not worth it.

Pros:

Um....

Cons:

Made my face incredibly oily with the worst breakouts I have had in years.

I have mild acne with occasions bad break outs. Unlike many people, I found that the repairing lotion made my skin very oily. I can't remember the last time my skin felt this bad. Of course, when trying to cancel my account, the rep treated me to a lecture about how I need to wait for it to work because of my "cycle of acne". Isn't the whole point to break the cycle???
