Pros:

It took away all the little acne,

Cons:

but then i get these huge hard things. It made my acne worse. It seems to me that it may work for people but only for a short time until the skin becomes resistent. I would not suggest this product.

Don't bother, it is no miracle. Look for something else.

Pros:

It appears to work and feels great on your skin.

Cons:

Experienced really dry skin after usage...

It is a product that appears to work. I would reccomend people consult their dermatologist but yes, you should probably try this.... you never know, it might work for you.

Pros:

leaves skin decently soft

Cons:

DOES NOT WORK!!!!! I thought if i use the system for a while it may start to work, I have used it for a year now and my skin still looks HORRIBLE. I still break out all the time. The product is only for people who have very MINOR cases of acne.

You should only use this product if you are someone who only gets montly breakouts -- a few pimples or something minor. NOT FOR PEOPLE WITH SEVERE ACNE

Pros:

Usually works well, cleans skin, non-irritating, reduces acne overall

Cons:

Doesn't always prevent breakouts, doesn't help with oily skin, EXPENSIVE, annoying to wait for mail shipments, can't skip a treatment

I had a pretty bad case of acne since middle school, and everything else I used just aggravated it. I tried Proactiv and it worked pretty quickly, so I stuck with it for years. It IS effective - just not all the time. Big zits still flare up pretty frequently. The only difference is that the product makes them go away a little faster than they would otherwise. I'm currently looking for another treatment to switch to. It's good stuff, but it's not the miracle that the infomercials say.

Cons:

packages arrive late

product doesn't really do what it says it will do, i used the product on a daily basis and never saw an improvement; for less money i can get something at my pharmacy that's more effective and i don't have to wait or pay shipping costs. I believe it's purely celebrity endorsement that has this product selling not it's effectiveness.

Pros:

skin feels soft and clear

Cons:

hate auto-ship, when i want more, i'll buy it

to anyone who has only used this for a month or less and sees no results, or it worsens, that is what happens with any acne product. it has to push everything out of your skin before it can heal and start to clear your skin. you have to give it time, just give it a fair shot, don't be so impatient!

Pros:

first couple of days it worked

Cons:

but after that it started making my skin worse,
breaking out even more. If you have very oily
skin I would not recommened this. It makes it worse.

I know some people that this product has worked for but not for me. It made it worse with more breakouts. I think this product is to harsh and can make people with oily skin even worse. I would not recommened to anyone.

Pros:

The product smelled good and the refining mask worked great for my red marks.

Cons:

It made me breakout a little bit extra and even when i continued to use it, i saw no improvement.

Proactiv isn't that great for sensitive skin types and made me have the acne that i have to deal with today. Before i used it, i had mild acne, now that i used it it made me breakout WORSE and im stuck with red marks everywhere now. Dont risk worsening your skin with proactiv because it'll come back and bite you in the "you know what".
