Pros:

The cleanser feels great
Odorless
Doesn't make face feel oily
Leaves face fresh and clean
Acne is reduced after using for few daya

Cons:

Expensive
Does not help future breakouts

Proactiv works, but they give you a bunch of extra crap that you don't need that probably will not help rid your acne. They just want to make money off of you with the green tea moisturizer and daily oil control. All you need is 3 steps. Personally, I would use Clean & Clear.

Pros:

It worked on reducing the acnes. That was true.But it just let u happy for this several months then horrible thing just starts!!!!

Cons:

I used them for around 3 to 4 months. It did work during the second and the third month. But it dried my skin hella horrible. My face got peeled. So I had to put some lotion on it. Then my skin just felt so oily and kinda liked breaking on drying. Then I stopped to use them. After one week, I went to play sport and sweated a lot. Then I felt my skin so sensitive. When I got home to stand in front of the mirror, my face got 10times worser in one day. I just tell u guys before to buy this products

This product is going to make ur skin super super sensitive. Oh my god. It would work on ur skin in the first two or three months. But after these months the horrible thing just starts. It will make ur acne to be worser 100timez. Now I just wanna destroy this company.

Pros:

- refreshes skin
- feels fresh after using it
- heals my acne
- 60 day money back guarantee

Cons:

Nothing

This is how acne products work, they dont just clear your skin right away, in week 1-2 you seem to think its getting worse, but really its not, its just making all your pimples pop out, than it clears them after. But ya for some people it works, for others it drys there skin out.

Pros:

I don't understand what these other people are complaining about it works great give it some time to work and when using the cleaner don't scrub your face off lightly massage it on and if your skin is oily or combination for gods sake use the daily oil control and oil free moisturizer it helps big time!!!!

Cons:

When buying this system don't think cheapest think what will work right and better for your skin..

Bottom line it works great

Pros:

CLEARS UP REALLY FAST W/ OLD 2009 FORMULA

OLD FORMULA SMELLED GOOD

Cons:

STOPS WORKING AFTER 7 MONTHS

I WISH IT WOULD OF KEPT WORKING I WILL BE HONEST I USED TO PICK MY FACE BAD!!!! NO EXAGGERATION THIS WAS A MIRACLE THE FIRST WEEK! I WAS A METH USER "CLEAN 15MONTHS" THIS ONE OCCASION I PICKED MY FACE SO BAD THERE WAS HUGE SCABS IT WAS AWFUL I HAD MILD ACNE BUT FROM DRUG USE IT BECAME TERRIBLE. I DECIDED TO TRY OUT PROACTIVE IT WORKED FAST. THIS WAS IN 2009 DECEMBER. THEY CHANGED THE FORMULA A FEW MONTHS AFTER I THINK MARCH 2010 I DID NOT LIKE THE SMELL BUT IT WORKED FINE. MY ACNE WAS NEARLY GONE EXCEPT ONE OR TWO PIMPLES NOTHING SERIOUS. I STOPPED USING IT JUNE 2010 BECAUSE I WAS BREAKING OUT AGAIN. DIDN'T WORK LONG ENOUGH FOR ME AND ITS EXPENSIVE THEY FALSE ADVERTISE IN MY OPINION. EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE I HEARD OF PEOPLE THAT KEEP USING IT FOR A LONG TIME AND IT WORKS BUT NOT FOR ME.

Pros:

Your skin always feels nice.

Cons:

Doesn't clear you up completely.HORRIBLE customer service!

After my experience I would never recommend Proactiv to anyone. You better off going to the dermatologist.

Pros:

made my skin feel clean
helped my acne a little

Cons:

expensive
strains your skin of the "good" oils you may need later in life!

honestly.... i havent really seen much of a difference in my skin after using proactiv.... i have been using it for 4 months now and it is part of my everyday routine. i have to admit my acne was not "severe" to start with and is very sparce now with only a pimple or two, or more when im on my period. it does NOT dry out my skin. It did a little the first month i used it, but you have to give it some time and be patient. Your acne will not clear up overnight! I think the people who say it dries out their skin must not be moisturising! i use neutragena sensitive skin oil-free moisturizer and i LOVE it!!! it works sooo much better than the green tea moisturizer it gives you! so i do think it works well, but i am undecided about the price.. it is pretty expensive but i havent actually paid much attention to it! haha but the one thing i have found about it is it strips your skin of ALL oil on your face and may make you age faster, but i do not know much on this but my friend who is in beauty school said it was bad for you but im not sure! i hope this helps and isnt too confusing! ahahha good luck!!
