Cons:

Dries skin out way to much, making very very flaky.

This products seemeed to work for about two days and then my skin got dry as hell. My skin looks worse now than when I started. I am trying to make my skin not so dry now, this is a hard thing to do. My skin is so flaky that it is driving me up the walls. Would not recommend it.

Pros:

Works very well for a couple months, max.

Cons:

Facial skin gets used to it and then the product loses effect.

Useful to clear very mild acne. Also useful for bettering severe acne. However, don't use for more than 4 months because the level of effectiveness wears off, even with consistency. Recommended for quick but not very long lasting results.

Pros:

didn't have that much acne, but I did have alot of blackheads on and around my nose. Proactiv definently helped get rid of these. And what little acne i did get around my chin has never returned, since i began using this product. It takes time!

Cons:

It can work out expensive if you use all the products that you will need!it can dry your skin out after prolonged use,i found cutting down to once a day usage for the repairing lotion & toner helped stop this,i only used the cleanser & a moisturiser

I found that proactiv worked the best in clearing away all signs of acne and blackheads that I did suffer from on the odd occasion. It takes time to work its not an overnight cure, I did find that after continued use it did begin to dry my skin a little. I stopped this by cutting down to once a day use for the toner and the repairing lotion, at night rather than in the morning after all I'm not getting dirty whilst I'm sleeping!

Pros:

it works well for me at first...my skin actually looks glowing.

Cons:

once you think its working its stops. i now have little pimples along the sides of forehead, cheeks, and forehead. everywhere, which btw i never broke out badly in those areas before. so i guess my skin became immune to this product.

i really it would work for me, cause i wasted so much money on it. do't know what i will use now. my skin feels very dry now, and its not even winter.

Pros:

Brightend my skin alittle.

Cons:

I didnt really have bad acne when i started using the product. just a couple pimples i wanted to get rid of. As i started, the pimples i had didnt go away and i began to get more. SERIOUSLY, especially around my mouth. bad acne.

Proactive gave me acne. Everytime i used it i felt like i was hurting my skin. too harsh for my taste. celebritys who endorse this product really dissapoint me. It didnt work for me at all. ive stopped using it and im in the process of getting my money back.

Pros:

slightly cleared up my acne after using the complete system consistantly DAY & NIGHT every single day for a couple weeks.

Cons:

still have at least 10-12 pimples at a time/bumpy skin that especially doesn't look very good in pictures might i add.

basically, it only works for people who's skin have good reactions to benzoyl peroxide. which mine doesn't, so i'm left too afraid to quit using it, since i'll probably just break out 10 times worse than ever. then what am i supposed to do??

none

Cons:

-didnt work
-dried face out
-made face burn like hell

i was reeally dissapointed with proactiv. i thought maybe it would be the thing to get rid of my acne, but it didnt work for me at all!!! not only did it not have an effect on my acne, it completley dried out my face and made it all flaky and it burned like a mf. i dk if i was using it wrong or what, and ill probably try it again, but whatever the hell was in that stuff did NOT like my skin.

Pros:

Toned down acne, the refining mask was pretty good as an on the spot treatment. Didn't make things worse. Helped scars heal

Cons:

Never could finish the job! It would get me close but than another few would appear. DID NOTHING for blackheads!!! Overpriced

It is better than nothing, BUT it never completely healed me or kept acne away. Blackheads still remain same as before Proactiv did nothing for them!
