Pros:

it prevented me from getting breakouts :) but i have some scars so it didnt help those obviously [for scars use Neutrogena's Fight N Fade]

Cons:

its not totally consistent...you might have to take a little break off of it here and there. but it depends on your skin type. i guess mines the one it usually works for. but its really expensive

try it out! dont expect magic happening overnight though...you have to stick with it for about 6 weeks.

Pros:

I have only had this product for about a day or two, and I like it so far. It makes my skin feel clean and there were some results after just a few hours!

Cons:

It does sting a little, but other than that, it works pretty well.

Give it a try. It depends on what kind of skin you have. I've had it for a day, and I've seen results. So far, it's a good product, but we'll see what happens. It works way better if you buy some of the extra products, like the oil blotting pads, concealer, and refining mask, which means you have to pay a lot more $$$, but they work like a charm.

Pros:

It makes your skin look and feel amazing!! Beautiful clear skin.

Cons:

It's kinda expensive.

Proactiv really worked for me. I wouldn't stop using it for anything in the world. **Advice to some people. Proactiv is not an overnight miracle thing. It takes time. And you have to use it everyday!! If your skin gets dry and flaky...that's normal. Thats why they also offer moisturizers. I think everyone with acne should give it a try.

Pros:

Works at first. Skin felt extremely soft and smooth after first use.

Cons:

Dried my skin terribly, so I switched to just using it once a day. Then I ran out of the lotion way before the other two bottles were empty. It did not clear my skin, and was very time consuming.

I tried it for a month, and I didn't see enough improvement to try it again. I'll try something else next time.

Pros:

skin isn't dry, and soothes my skin instead of irritating it.

Cons:

I just don't like using a cotton ball for the toner but that's about it.

My face had cleared up and the trick is to only wash your face day time and night. That was my problem before because I had such dry skin in the past.

Pros:

I'm surprised at all the comments about drying of the skin, which I've never experienced. I especially like the toner. Overall the system has worked for me, and when I've stopped using it to try something else, I've regreted it and gone back.

Cons:

Previously the line was limited, tho now I'm glad to see there are eye creams, make up removers, and a salicylic night cream, as well as limited make up items (powers, concealers), available thru QVC.

I like it and would recommend it.

Pros:

that it works for some people

Cons:

i am still repairing the damages it has done to my face

I decided to try Proactive because I would get the occasional breakout on my forehead. At first it dried up my face completely. After about a month of using it consistently my face got really greasy. I had a ton of blackheads and these huge red pimples around my jawline that I have never had before. I kept using it because I figured it was just bringing everything to the surface. Well, it was not going away. By this time I had been using the product well over 3 months. I still have these aweful red pimples around my jawline. I'm using a product by clean & clear, but it's not working.

Pros:

Saw results in a week. It works.

Cons:

Nothing is wrong with the products themselves, but they are a bit pricey. OH, and they make your skin sensitive to the sun, so make sure you get a good sunscreen lotion or something.

Try it. This seems to be one of those products that can work wonders for one person but have no effect on another person.... so you never know.
