Pros:

It leaves your face very soft and smooth / Works relatvely fast (within 4 weeks I saw very significant results) / Doens't burn or overdry your face /

Cons:

The fragrance / It leaves your face a little red for an hour or so

I have had mild to moderate acne since the age of 11 (I'm 22 now) and I have tried every topical product imaginable and they never worked for more than 2 weeks or so, and left my face burnt to a crisp. A friend of mine with SEVERE acne recommended Proactiv, it worked for her so I figured why not: WIthim 2 weeks my skin looked healthier, within 4 weeks the acne had cleared right up... now it has been 11 months or so I've been using it and I NEVER break out. My scars have almost totally faded... My face looks the best it EVER has :D I WOULD RECOMMED THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE!!!

Pros:

I really like the 3 step system. It actually works quite well.

Cons:

Dries your skin out for a period of time, but it does go away. The mask smells funky though but it's no big deal. I still get a few spots now and then, but definitely not as bad as it was.

There is a way to really prevent dryness guys. For one thing, DO NOT PUT THE LOTION ALL OVER YOUR FACE. Just put it on the spots. I figured this out. If you just put it on the spots, it dries up and goes away. That is actually what the drying out is. Getting rid of the dirt and stuff and "detoxifying" your skin. I was gonna say something else but I forgot. I swear I have short term memory loss. If I remember I will post again :P

This product works great. the main thing is that you have to be consitant with using it

It is a bit costly and it made my skin dry the first few weeks but then it started working great!

Pros:

none

Cons:

proactive is not good for sensitive skin!!!!!

I odered this product and was very excited to try it but in the morning when i woke up i had a allergic reaction. I found out it's not for sensitive skin. So if you have that type of skin don't use it!! I'm sure it works for some people just not me : (

Pros:

Skin is fine after 2nd week of use. No breakouts yet, I'm only 19 so I'm normally packed with alot of oil. I have tried other products recommended by my dermatologits but they dont' work.

Cons:

Too pricey honestly. Dry skin.

Everyone has a different body. That determines how the products will work on our skin. Each result is different for the individual. Some may not get results because of certain skin conditions but others will clear up within daily usage. I'm not sure about the whole idea of where your body can get immune to it. That actually sounds kinda ridiculous.

Pros:

I love Proactiv! I have been using it for about 2 years now. It has cleared up my acne although I do break out around the my period but only 1- pimples, if any. I've had friends recently say "Wow, your skin looks great!"

Cons:

It can be a bit pricey but definatley worth it. I tired Tazoac which was very expensive and extremely toxic and harsh..:(

I use it consistently and i also drink lots of water, eat healthy and exercise.. which i believe all play a role. When i am not eating right or exercising, i do notice a difference in my skin. Drink Water !!! I tried to switch to something more natural but then broke out and went back to proactiv. I highly suggest trying it but you've got to be patient..maybe give it 1 month at least. I saw results immediatley.
