Pros:

works pretty good

Cons:

smells bad, can over dry at times, shipping is ablsolutely rediculous, too expensive

i use proactiv and it werks. however it has some flaws in a few areas. shipping policy-REDICULOUS. i called the company up because i was running out within 8 weeks of getting it. i wasn't getting it until ten weeks because altho they ship in 8 weeks it takes 2 to get here. anyway, they suggested i move my shipping date back 2 weeks. so i asked them what that would do to the billing arrangement. they said in oder for me to receive it in 8 weeks i would have to move it back to every 6 weeks shipping and send the payment every four weeks to ensure that it would be shipped on time. BOTTOM LINE: the product i am already paying $60.00 every 6 weeks for just became $60.00 once a month. it is rediculous, they certainly aren't sayin that on their info mercials. i pay enough for this sh*t as it is. so now i guess i'll have to put up with the break out again every 6 weeks. as well i now think my skin is reliant on it. i break out without using it almost immediately. must be good for the skin:/

Pros:

I've used this almost every day, twice a day, for around 4 years. I had mild acne beforehand, and it did seem to help. My skin felt smoother, and it cleared up all my whiteheads, even though I still have around 2 slight breakouts a month.

Cons:

Didn't get rid of the blackheads. The 3rd step always lasts way longer than the 1st and 2nd step, and the 3rd expires earlier.

A very good product to try. Try it for around a month, see how it works on your skin. I'd say if it doesn't get any better within a month, don't bother using it anymore. (If you're a girl and you seem to have breakouts before/after/during your periods, monitor how well proactive effects you at different times during the month, if at all!) This product is VERY, VERY good if you want to simply get into a routine every day that will at least slightly help your skin. I helped me to get into a routine that helped my skin a lot.

jessica simpson is full of crap if you ask me! her skin wasnt that bad to begin with and im sure she has a great derm. but it did get her recognized a lot before her reality show!

refining mask
I have only tried the refining mask and if i dabbed a bit on a spot and left it over night it really helped to reduce the size and redness!

Pros:

I am 53 and suffered from acne all my life. Proactive has worked best for me when I use it regularly and I've tried it all.

Cons:

Years ago I ordered the system and had to sign up for regular shipments and found it to be too much, too often. Now I can get what I want when I want at a keosk in the mall.

Worth the money when I use regularly. Clears the many hair bumps under my chin. I've even had bumps disappear overnight after using the repair lotion.

Pros:

Smells nice
Makes skin feel tingly

Cons:

Irritated my skin
Made skin dry and red
Made acne on neck worse!
Very expensive

I cancelled and would not use or recommend this product to anyone! It made my skin so much worse....I had moderately severe acne on my chin and neck all of a sudden right before I turned 40. I was up late saw commercial for Proactiv decided to try it...I am sad to say I struggled for another month with my acne while using it. As soon as I started using Neutrogena products my face slowly started to heal....I still get a few occasional pimples but I am a HUGE fan of Neutrogena products especially the acne scrub and the pink grapefruit wash:) will never use Proactiv again-NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!
