Pros:

Cleared my skin within a week of trying it; it really controls my oily skin... and I have super oily skin. I just don't get oily in the T-Zone, but on my cheeks too. My pores are much smaller now because I don't produce as much oil as I used to.

Cons:

The cleanser doesn't lather well when mixed with water; sometimes it feels like it's still on my face after I've rinsed it off. After letting it sink into my skin for 3-4 minutes, I use a gel cleanser on top of it that washes away clean.

I've tried a lot of stuff; I've been breaking out since I was 13... and I am now 36, and still breaking out! Proactiv has really worked well for me. I used to use Retin-A, but it began to burn my skin and cause rough patches. Proactiv was my last resort. I'm glad I tried it. My skin is much clearer; it produces a lot less oil; and the price isn't so bad. I also don't need a prescription for it, like Retin-A. When I use the cleanser, I brush my teeth or something to give it a couple of minutes to soak into my skin, then I rinse it off... or use a gel cleanser that lathers really well to give my skin a good cleanse. I've been using it about 2 1/2 months.

Pros:

I have been using Proactiv for about 2 months now and I love it.... When I first started using it, it seemed to make the problems worse but with continued use I have clearer skin... I LOVE PROACTIV!!!!

Cons:

I have mild acne so I don't know how it performs on severe acne. I have never been able to stick to a regiment but I love the 3 step system and I use the mask... Yes the mask doesn't smell the best but suck it up in the name of clear skin.

I THINK THIS PRODUCT IS WONDERFUL... TRY IT!!! AND FOR THE PPL WHO THINK IT IS $$$$ TRY GETTING IT OFF EBAY!!!

Pros:

Well, after just a little while I could see some differences, and later on I could actually notice acne disappearing. I think that the key to using proactiv is to use it every day, and to keep on using it.

Cons:

It does dry out my skin a little bit, but after a while I think I've built up a resistance to it. When I bought it there was a skin moisturizer included, and that has completely stopped my skin drying out.

I've heard a lot of different stories about proactiv, some saying that it worked, some saying that it didn't. For me, so far, it has worked. Most of it has probably been using it twice a day, every day. Don't be afraid that just because it's on an infomercial that it won't work. Another key factor would definatley have to be that I got a kit, that included the 3 bottles, a refining mask, and skin moisturizer. The refining mask helps a LOT, but it would be useless without the other cleansers. I hope that if you do buy it, that it works for you. I think it works for me, my acne isn't completley gone yet, but I know that I'm on the road there.

Pros:

I LOVE PROACTIV I STOPPED USING IT BECAUSE I COULDNT AFFORD IT I USED PRODUCTS THAT WERE SUPOSE 2 BE LIKE IT BUT DIDNT WORK. I WENT TO THE MALL AND SAW A PROACTIVE STAND. NOW I AM GOING THERE ALL THE TIME JUST TO GET IT(30 DAY SUPPLY FOR $20)

Cons:

THE PRICE I WANTED TO GET THE 2 MONTH SUPPLY BUT ITS TOO MUCH. bUT I AM GETTING THE 1 MONTH SUPPLY FOR $20

gET PROACTIVE IT REALLY WORKS IF PEOPLE START TO BREAK OUT AT FIRST I THINK IT SAYS IT MIGHT MAKE UR ACNE BAD AT FIRST BUT THAT I THINK IS SO THAT IT LIFTS UP ALL THOSE IMPURITIES SO U CAN GET THE CLEAR SKIN U ALWAYS WANTED. tRUST ME! WHEN I USED IT, THE NEXT DAY MY FACE WAS ALREADY CLEARING UP A LOT GET IT ITS WORTH UR MONEY. DONT GO TO THE STORE AND BUY SOMETHING THAT SAYS WORKS FASTER THAN PROACTIV. I TRIED THOSE AND THEY JUST TOOK MY MONEY! I RECOMMEND IT 100%

Pros:

Great skin! Only took 6 wks to see great results! I was skeptical because I worked for the company and new all about the product but had never tried it

Cons:

The initial breakout period before it clears up.

Did you know that if you are a club member, you can change how often you are recieving these prdcts, take your card off and recieve a bill, customize your kits, and place holds on your account for a certain amount of time? Acne takes 3-4 weeks to see results so that is why it takes 6-8 wks to see the full results for most people! Try it that long before you say how awful it is! Also, you can't become"immune" ask your doc what causes acne and they will tell you there are lots of different reasons.

Pros:

It leaves your face very soft and smooth / Works relatvely fast (within 4 weeks I saw very significant results) / Doens't burn or overdry your face /

Cons:

The fragrance / It leaves your face a little red for an hour or so

I have had mild to moderate acne since the age of 11 (I'm 22 now) and I have tried every topical product imaginable and they never worked for more than 2 weeks or so, and left my face burnt to a crisp. A friend of mine with SEVERE acne recommended Proactiv, it worked for her so I figured why not: WIthim 2 weeks my skin looked healthier, within 4 weeks the acne had cleared right up... now it has been 11 months or so I've been using it and I NEVER break out. My scars have almost totally faded... My face looks the best it EVER has :D I WOULD RECOMMED THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE!!!
