Pros:

I like the scent

Cons:

Doesn't help with moderate-severe acne, cystic acne, or inflamed acne which is what I have now at age 29. I actually tried this "solution" ten years ago at age 19 when I had moderate acne (just a few nodules, some blackheads). It cleared me up after one week using it. Proved effective until about two months of use. Then I became allergic to it as it caused my face to break out in mild rash.

May be worth it for mild acne. Didn't work for me now that I've tried to treat my cystic acne.

Pros:

It works, simple

Cons:

A little bit drying on your skin

Ive used it for over 5 years. I am middle aged, but still had the occasional breakout. This is the best thing that has worked for me. You can manage your shipments, and change them at any time. I get a shipment about every 3 months for about $49, with 2 cleansers and one toner, and it lasts me well. I wish they had this product when I was a teen. Everyone's skin reacts differently, but this is at least worth a try for you I think.

Pros:

Helped clear acne for a short while. Cleanser exfoliates.

Cons:

Dries out skin. Doesn't clear acne. Lotion is chunky. Toner is useless. No spot treatment in set.

My skin is the driest it's ever been. I've discontinued the use of the toner and have started using an additional moisturizer yet my skin is still peeling. My acne is getting worse; many whiteheads, cysts, redness, etc. Maybe I've just been using the same product for too long but it's definitely too pricey compared to how it's helping my skin. I'm going to switch to Arbonne Clear Advantage!!

Pros:

It is rather affordable as far as acne kits are concerned, they have awesome customer service, and it works WONDERFULLY!

Cons:

I can't think of any!

My friends recommended Proactiv to me, they have used it for two years now, and their skin is AMAZING: absolutly NO breakouts, even tone, smooth, just plain beautiful! I have sensitive skin, so I use the Rare Minerals mositurizer by Bare Essentuals morning and night following the Repiaring Lotion. Also, I use Rapid Clear spot treatment for the occosainal zit, rather than the Refining Mask, becuas it is slightly gentler and it's clear so I don't leave my pillow case white! Overall, GET THIS PRODUCT!!!!

Pros:

It worked very well for me for a while with consistent use. If I skipped a night or two, I would get breakouts.After 2 years of using it I started to break out more frequently.

Cons:

Drying, but all acne medication is.

Never visited a dermatologist until recently. (in late 20's) After going I was informed that there are much cheaper (if you have insurance) and much more effective solutions avaliable if you go to a dermatologist. Wish I had done it sooner. But if going to a doc is not an option, pro activ is not bad.

Pros:

Well the toner does help even skin tone after zits go away if you use it a lot.

Cons:

It doesn't get rid of any zits, for the first few weeks or months of using it your skin gets irritated and red. Even after your skin gets used to it, the refining mask and lotion just make your skin dry. It doesn't help at all.

Don't try it unless it's a last resort, and even then your probably better off just waiting for the zits to go away by themselves.
