Pros:

Been using it for 3 weeks, and so far it works great. My skin has cleared up considerably and feels so soft and smooth. My husband insists my skin has a glow to it, and i feel comfortable now going out without makeup.

Cons:

You have to wash the cleanser off properly. The beads in the cleanser can clog your pores and create blemishes. Follow the directions properly and you will see results.

I hope the results last. I use it twice a day, and don't notice dryness. I also use a vitamin e oil free moisturizer with sun protection and it helps under makeup. Please use follow the directions and take time to use the product properly. All I can say about the price is that if this system works for you, its worth the price.

Cons:

international shipping?

whatever the annoying, stingy over-exagerators say above:this WORKS! im totally serious, i started seeing results on the second day! and it makes your skin glow and feel so smooth and fresh. get it, its worth it!AND, it DOES NOT make your skin worse when you dont use it, i stopped for maybe 2 months and my skin stayed clear.

Pros:

This system is for mild/moderate/acute acne.

Heres what you do.... proactiv 3 steps at night and sometimes in the morning. (for guys shaving helps just dont shave over zits)... every morning and every night take several vitamin b5 pills (depending on how oily you skin is), one multivitamin and one 1000mg vitamin C for scars.... if you have mild/moderate acne... you see incredible results within 3 weeks. tops. you have to stick to it... i know its alot of pills and alot of bother but trust me... i had acne for 3 years and nothing worked for me... my skin is finally almost clear. This is aint a sales pitch cracka! this is the real deal... im finally happy.

Pros:

Cleared up my acne

Cons:

Have to use product twice a day or you might see flare ups.

If you use proactiv correctly, and stick with it you will see results. For most people it take a good 2 months to see improvements, one month is not enough. Also, you might not be 100% clear in 2 months, but should see some improvement. The longer you use to product the more you will see the results. Proactiv is sold in most malls, talk to the people there because they can tell you why you might not be seeing results. Keep using!! Awesome product!!

Pros:

Cleans skin really well and the toner and repairing lotion leave your skin feeling fantastic

Cons:

This product does not work consistently, you still have breakouts.

Ok, i think im a bit of a pro in regards to skin products. ive spent a ridiculous amount of money on high end skin products like Clinique and Dior, neither worked, so now im trying Proactiv. i also have lots of prescriptions that im using all at the same time and i take zinc tablets. I just recently finshed high school and now i no longer have the stress and pressure of my skin having to look good every single day, my skin has cleared up dramatically, bad skin can be directly linked to stress. i am proof of this. if you have bad skin, go to a dermatologist. if you have acne scars: VITAMIN E cream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...thats what hospitals give you after surgery to heal facial scars and finally, the skin cycle is 28 days, meaning until you have used a product for 28 days, you will not notice much of an improvement as the new product draws out all the impuririties. i am a guy and my dads a dermatologist...i know what im talking about. TRUST ME

Pros:

I love Proactiv! I have been using it for about 2 years now. It has cleared up my acne although I do break out around the my period but only 1- pimples, if any. I've had friends recently say "Wow, your skin looks great!"

Cons:

It can be a bit pricey but definatley worth it. I tired Tazoac which was very expensive and extremely toxic and harsh..:(

I use it consistently and i also drink lots of water, eat healthy and exercise.. which i believe all play a role. When i am not eating right or exercising, i do notice a difference in my skin. Drink Water !!! I tried to switch to something more natural but then broke out and went back to proactiv. I highly suggest trying it but you've got to be patient..maybe give it 1 month at least. I saw results immediatley.

Pros:

Thsi product saved my skin!!! I'll spend my last penny on it!!!! Its amazing! There are only 2 products in this world that I'll vouch for - Proactiv and Vanish stain remover!!

Cons:

Have you ever tried complaining to a member of Staff on the phone in America? GOSH! SO frustrating! They made errors with my shippment,apologised but took forever to send a replacemnt and then eventually deleted me from their system in error!ANGRYYYY

It works but they need to ensure they send it when they're meant to. It SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO works! I cant stress how much more confident it made me. The world noticed! It didnt work for my cousin tho :(
