Pros:

It works at first, but once you are using it for a while, it doesn't really do anything more

Cons:

-its really hard on your skin

When I stopped using it, my skin turned out worse than before. I am now left with scarring and more acne that has been very hard to get under control. I would NOT recomend it.

Pros:

It cleared up my blemishes fast, but it stopped working.

Cons:

Using it for so long, it got really expensive.

I was using Proactive for almsot a year, and it was doing okay. Nothing to rave about really. But one day, it just stopped working, and my face would get extremely red and itchy. I didn't like it at all. I'm not sure what happened, but I wouldn't reccomend this product to anyone with sensative skin like me.

Pros:

None

Cons:

It made my breakouts ten times worse. It gave me horrible acne on my cheeks where I had never broken out before. I still continue to even after I stopped using it. It is way too harsh for even normal skin types.

Don't waste your money.

Pros:

Skin improved in the first couple of days.

Cons:

Went downhill after that. Skin is worse than ever. Breaking out mostly on my cheeks and along my jaw line. Places I had never broken out before. After I stopped using proactiv after a couple of weeks, my skin still hasn't gotten better.

Proactiv is a waste of money. It pisses me off that they use jennifer love hewitt with her one f**king blemish as an advocate for acne treatment. Even P diddy, a spokesperson for proactiv, is pissed that it made his skin worse. I would never recommend this to anyone. I'm having a bitch time trying to reverse the effects of this sh*t product.

Pros:

softer skin, removed dead skin cells

Cons:

more acne

had light clogged pores before I got it, now I have pimples all over, which I've never had before. It's been 2 weeks so far. I'm going to finish these little bottles and decide afterwards, but so far .. not looking good.

Pros:

The first few days I got really excited because it smelled good, seemed to be working, skin felt great and then...

Cons:

.... this stuff made my face burn, skin flakes. I have a new pimple everyday now. I followed every direction they gave me and I think I got worse. I never had severe acne and now it's borderline. I really am not pleased with the results.

I think that it works for some people. However, I am not one of them. I normally have oily skin so for something to dry my face out, sheesh!

Pros:

Works well the first couple of days...and then it really dries the face.

Cons:

Extremely dries the face to the point where you have to stop using it...wouldn't recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin.

It does not work for everyone. Don't switch to this product if the one you are using now is effective because even though it clears up mild acne, it really DRIES the skin, and moisturizer can't completely help with this problem.
