Pros:

It keeps your skin nice and oi-free all day.

Cons:

It worked a little in the beginning and then stopped working. When I stopped using it, it made my acne much worse. The toner irratates and burns my skin

It is definitely not worth paying $30 dollars a month for and you will have to continue using it or you will break out worse.

Pros:

Umm.... gonna have to get back to you on that one.

Cons:

Expensive, doesn't work, burns, drys out skin

I used proactiv a looong time ago and it did wonders for my skin, so when my skin starting breaking out again I thought I would try it again. Big mistake! My skin is worse than it has ever been. I have big cystic pimples on my cheeks, a new whitehead or two every day, and scars from all the new pimples. Proactiv does not work for me at all. I wish I never purchased it. The cleanser does NOT remove dirt and oil, because when you use the toner you can see all of the dirt and oil on the pad. The beads in the cleanser scratch my skin, and the repairing lotion drys my skin out so bad it turns white around my mouth. I would not recommend this product. My skin is sensitive and proactiv has done nothing except make it much much much worse. I purchased exposed today and hopefully that will clear up all the damage that proactiv has caused. Please save your money and find what works for you. Do not buy into the hype of proactiv

Pros:

At first, the red bumps on my face became smaller and less inflamed.

Cons:

After a week or so, I broke out worse than I ever have before, but with a trype of acne that I had never had before. My skin also became VERY dry.

Don't believe all the hype. Maybe it works for people with light acne, but if your acne is moderate/severe like mine, it will probably just make it worse.

Pros:

I thought the price was alright and that it had a good reputation.

Cons:

I have mild acne and thought I would give proactiv a try. I've been using it for 3 months and it got worse than I've ever had it (the trial period that "it will get worse before it gets better" and it never did. It stayed worse.

This product has worked wonders on my brothers, but I guess it just wasn't for me.

Pros:

The product arrived really fast!

Cons:

It smells funny,the lotion sucks,they say you will notice a difference within the first week..hmm im not noticing anything so far but its only been a few days..then again my skin normally reacts right away and its not reacting which is weird.

Kinda cheap for a trial size and a 30 money back guarantee..that unfortunately because of no changes ive seen since i started usig it, ill have to use the guarantee.im pretty sure that I should have stuck with my St. Ives Olive cleanser and my Palmers Organic Olive lotion..and a good dab of Queen Helene Masque Mint Julep for random pop ups on the skin...its the best regiment for me!

Pros:

...I can now laugh when the commercials come on and my friends say they want it.

Cons:

Pain pain pain, redness, flaking, breakouts, and embarrassment.

Do NOT be influenced by the media or celebrities. They are either lying or medical miracles. If you buy this product after reading these reviews, you are surely impaired because it DOESN'T WORK!!! Fight the conspiracy.

Pros:

Nothing good about this product.

Cons:

It didn't work, it is expensive, it dried out my skin, and the refining mask smells bad and the smell doesn't go away even after you wash it out.

This product sucks. The commercials lie...maybe it works for some people, but it doesn't for the majority of the people. This product dried out my skin and the Benzol Peroxide was harsh on my skin, even if I used it once a day. If it was less expensive, I still wouldn't give it a try again. In my opinion this entire product sucks and is a scam to cheat people out of their money. This product in addition to other products might help if they work well togeter, but Proactiv by itself really does not work.

Pros:

Good for the first few days

Cons:

It caused lumps, which now just wont clear.
Do not use it. I only had just a few pimples and wanted to get rid of them, but all i succeeded in doing was making my face terrible. Now even my makeup wont cover it.

Don't use it if you dont have really bad acne

Pros:

leaves your skin feeling refreshed and soft.

Cons:

face will severly breakout when you stop using it. dries face out and the smell is terrible.

my face was not bad to begin with. just a few blemishes here and there. after using this product my face was so much worse. it has been about 6 months and my face has improved no thanks to proactive. i would NOT recomend this to anyone because of the painful long-term effects on your skin.
