Pros:

i've never had acne, just the occassional pimple. it did clear those up. i use it as a 'spot' solution when i can tell i'm getting a zit.

Cons:

AAHHH!! after using for 1 week, i woke up the next day and my face had a rash..especially on my eyes and eyebrows. so, i stopped using it all together. then, my friend told me to use it every 3 days. so i did that, and now my eye is swollen shut

don't buy it unless you have extremely tough skin and really need it. otherwise, it's way to harsh of a product to use. def a big mistake on my part...oh, and guess what? my next shipment arrived yesterday...and i get to mess with sending it back. or i might just regift it!!

Pros:

Clears up some acne. Affordable.

Cons:

Takes too long to apply.

Hearing of the problem with people having dry skin, I got the oil-free. I've only been using it for about 5 days, and I have seen changes, though no results. I had a lot of little pimples. They have gotten smaller but in their place, large pimples have developed (even though there's not as many). I really don't know if it's good or not.

Pros:

It works! I've actually found that it is very inexpensive because even though I use it twice a day, I only need to buy the 3-piece system every 5 months or so. The only thing that has ever worked for me...and I've tried everything for so long!

Cons:

The toner makes me break out, so I no longer use it--they just ship me a customized 3-piece pack that doesn't include toner. I still get occasional acne, but all in all my skin looks much better and I'm very happy with it.

Give it a good honest try--at least six months. I noticed a difference right away, just after a couple of days, so who knows. Best product out there!

Pros:

It has a nice scent and seems very convincing when you read the leaflet inside... the rejuvinating toner makes your skin tingle (which means its working) and the repairing lotion is very light.

Cons:

YET, it didn't work for me. Too pricey.

I have moderateish acne, but PERSISSTANT acne. gross. I thought, 'hey the ppl on the commercials say it works, i'll just try it'.. stooopid. It made my acne better but i still had acne, which i thought was a waste of money so i got off it. Then i got on dan's regimine. pshh.. no. didnt work. now im on benzaclin, yay!

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Doesn't work! I used it for over a year and nothing changed. I still have nasty breakouts, more actually and more acne scars. It's a rip off and they're using big time celebrities to trick people into thinking it works.
It's a waste of money !

Waste of money! It's a big hype but does nothing but give people false hopes

Pros:

Worked great at clearing my mild/moderate acne. I was clear, never 100%, but that didnt matter, it cleared my skin and I was left with people telling me I had great skin (for a guy! ha)!

Cons:

Unfortunately it didn’t last, after about 14 months of use, my acne suddenly re-appeared and this time, worse than it was before the use of Proactive!! I now use the DKR system! The price is insane, but as mentioned, if it works at keeping you clea

Great, but maybe it stops working after a considerable amount of time. Whenever I did get spots whilst on this regimen, they were usually huge and a lot worse than the spots I had before I started with this product!

Pros:

Works great, I can't believe how well and quickly it works.

Cost........it sucks frankly. My daughter and I share a kit because it is so expensive, we can't afford two.

Great product.....but too expensive.
