Pros:

My skin looked softer for the first few days.....

Cons:

My skin is very sensitive to the cold, the harsh chemicals seem to make my pimples bigger! They are getting red and getting more!!

It is making my skin very dry and itchy. I would not recomend this if you have very sensitive skin!! My acne seems to be getting worse the more I use it.

Pros:

Softer skin, ALOT LESS BLACKHEADS!!, Fewer Pimples

Cons:

Dry skin which does seem to go away after a few weeks of use, Proactiv also has horrible customer service it took me 3 months to get it and that was the second order..i never recieved my first order and they wouldn't credit me back for it.

Proactiv works pretty good. I have hardly any blackheads and my skin just seems healthier. It takes a little while to start working (about a month) I can definately wear less make-up on my skin now. Although the shipping takes forever and when you contact customer service it's just automated and they don't help you at all!!

Pros:

It work alright, Not the best, i find Polo Sport Face Scrub works much better, And it's just a face wash! I ran out of Polosport so now im trying ClearZit..

Cons:

It Really does not work very well for me, and it's way to expensive,I would never pay that much just to modify the way i look personally, got it for free from a friend.

My Skin is NOT sensitive at all, I can put just about anything on it and nothing seems to bother me. Honestly, i find Polo Sport Face Scrub, Works really well.

Pros:

Noticed a difference the first day. Cleared up most of my pimple quickly. My skin is sily smooth and soft.

Cons:

Dries up skin a considerable amount.

The first time I used this product it was night. I woke up with clearer skin, but my face was still a little red. After a few days it didn't burn my skin. After about 3 weeks my skin wasn't dry anymore. I only use the wash and lotion and only at night but it works wonders. It's been about a month and my skin is amazing. When using it I recomend using polysporn (yes, you heard me right) to moisturizes the dry spots. In the mornings use a light exfoliant and good moisturizer such as oil of olay. The real bottom line, it's worth a shot.

Pros:

Not as drying as prescription acne medication. easy regimen

Cons:

No dramatic results. Bleaches out skin and every clothing article that comes in contact with solutions.

I have moderate acne. It will occasionaly help clear up my mild acne breakouts. It is good in a sense that it does not dry out skin as much as prescribed acne. It however does not prevent acne more so maintains moderate acne. It is annoying that is bleaches out towels and shirts that come into contact with the solution. It also bleaches out skin. I am bi racial and my face is noticibly lighter than other areas of body due to application of face. I get cystic acne breakout and it does not help much.

Pros:

I like the exfoliation.

Cons:

Dosen't work...the repairing lotion drys my face out. Made my skin redish. I had breakouts elsewhere that popped up after starting ProActive.

Not worth $60 bucks.

Pros:

Good to prevent breakouts...NOTE, I do not have diagnosed acne. I use it for stress break outs once every 3-4 months or so,

Cons:

Their club method is annoying. You cannot order it when you need it. You must be on a shipping frequency that can only be pushed out to 16 weeks. It is costly and starts to stack up. No notice is given when a shipment goes out..they charge shippi

Club membership program sucks. Cannot modify. Drying and irriating. Overly harsh and a concern for anti aging concerns of 40 year olds (me!). Too much wasted money on the packaging and shipping. Cleaner is nice, lotion is harsh, toner is unnecessary.

Pros:

proactiv did help my skin. i had a lot of acne before using proactiv and the acne was starting to scar. i started using proactiv and it very slowly improved but my acne did not go away. i still have many breakouts on my face.

Cons:

the smell is terrible. it makes my skin really red and dry, especially in the summer. sometimes the toner feels like it is burning. it costs way too much money.

i have stopped buying proactiv. i liked the fact that it improved my skin, but now i have switched to another product that doesn't smell so terrible and isn't so harsh on my skin. the new product i am using costs more money (so i can't really complain that proactiv is too much money compared to other products) but it doesn't smell terrible like proactiv does. it works just as well as proactiv. so there are other products out there that work as well in case you find proactiv too harsh and you can't stand the smell.
