Pros:

It leaves my skin feeling really soft. And it has a nice little smell to it.0

Cons:

Haven't seen any results yet. Just leaves skin soft. The toner burns like no other!

Hopefully this stuff works but from all I been hearing it doesn't! But alot of people are saying its leaving their skin dry, maybe they should read the instructions. Some of the products you have to wear only 2-3 a week. And some you have to wear before you wear one, like there is a order you wear it in. So maybe that's why it didn't work for them. But I have only had it for 3 days and so far so great!

Pros:

Easy to use, smell was refreshing (aside from the mask).

Cons:

A bit expensive.

I do not have moderate or severe acne, but do have annoying blackheads and whiteheads. Although Proactiv does lessen the amount of breakouts I have during 'that time of the month', they don't take care of the other skin stuff. Moreover, the cleanser seems to have been watered down recently and the astringent runs out about half as a fast as the rest of the stuff -- and I use equal amounts. Lastly, I stopped using this product for a week and my skin went INSANE. WAY more breakouts than I'd ever had before I started using it. Bottom line? I think it'd be great if you had moderate to severe acne. Don't expect it to handle blackheads or whiteheads, however.

Pros:

I actually do like the smell and they now make it to where you can choose when to deliver and what products you want instead of the origional three step system.

Cons:

It makes my skin VERY dry and flaky both times I tried it this happened and it took me weeks to recover and lots of moisturizer. Not to mention I had so many more breakouts than before I started using the system.

If you have sensitive skin that dries easily I don't recomend this product. Once you start using it the stuff might work for a while but everyone that I know that has used this product say it comes back. Even if you are still using it!

Pros:

I used to breakout just before my period without fail every month. Since using Proactive I haven't had any breakouts.

Cons:

I have sensitive skin and myy skin peels a bit around the eye area but is not noticeable once I put on moisturiser and I would rather have that problem than pimples which you can't miss!

I only use it once a day, not twice a day as recommended and I still get excellent results. I don't always use the toner but I do use the repair kit and my own moisturiser every morning (Dove). I don't think it matters what toner or moisturiser you use as long as it contains no oil. The magic stuff is in the repair kit. I have oily skin so I was very partial to pimples, not big acne breakouts, but noticeable odd pimples here and there - but don't have to worry about it anymore. I find the repair kit lasts me 4 months using it once a day but my acne wasn't very bad. I Definitely recommend it.
