Pros:

My acne did clear up somewhat.

Cons:

When u first use it it irritates your skin sooooo bad and makes it all red and stuff. u have to use it a couple times for your skin to get use to it. also iv heard that it may stop working and thats what im beginnin to see so thats true.

Done spend money on this product. eventually it will stop working and u will have to strart all over again. its not a perminante soulution for acne...but if u have rely sever acne like i did then use it for a couple of months to clear it up then switch to something else so ull have a clean slate to try a dif product, but dont keep on usin it. it will just start to irrritate and dry up ur skin out of nowhere and its just so not worth it.

Pros:

easy to use, and worked for the first few months

Cons:

smells like old people, leaves scars, and will slowly make your skin immune to benzoyl peroxide

The Proactiv System worked amazingly for me in the first few weeks. I noticed fewer bumps and the redness seemed to go away. After a few months though, my skin built an immunity to the light build of the treatment and it stopped working around the 4th or 5th month. This eventually lead to it making my acne much, much worse in the end.

Pros:

Seems to work on surface conditions.

Cons:

Does not work deep into the skin.

My concern involves Proactiv's business practices. My daughter bought Proactiv Solutions and arranged to return her third purchase (got a Return Authorization Number), I mailed it back and they continued to invoice the full amount. I called and finally got them to agree the product had been returned under the RA, but they claimed it was returned late. The late charges and restocking fee exactly equalled the original invoice amount which I told them was ridiculous and would not be paid, so she was turned over for collections. Whether the products are good, bad or whatever, this is not a company I would recommend anyone to do business with.

Pros:

- Easy to use
- Smells nice

Cons:

- Doesn't prevent acne (made it worse)
- Dries out your skin

This stuff cost a lot and made my skin worse. I used it for at least four months and i've never had that many pimples in my life! I've switched back to Nivea and now my skin is finally going back to normal. All I have to say is WHAT A RIP OFF!

Pros:

This product does work I have been using it for 3 years now and its great.

Cons:

first time using it your face does get worse for about 2 weeks than better, if you skip a few days without using it will screw up your acne again, and a dermatologist told me not to use the toner bc it dries out the face which makes youra cne worse

This is a great product, it is expensive but I love my skin. Also if you live in a state that is really dry than this might not work for you since it dries out your skin to work, dont use the toner it only makes pores and pimples work harder to get moisture which makes them worse. You can buy proactiv on [link removed] for way cheaper!
