Pros:

It has dried out my acne.

Pros:

Refining mask for spot treatment

Cons:

Made my face feel tight DRY and whenever I smiled it felt like my face was going to crack off!!!

I purchased this about a week ago. I do not have bad acne, a zit every here and there but I figured I would try it anyway. OMG!! After 2 days my skin started to dry out so bad that I couldn't even wear makeup! Right now it is flaky and my face feels so tight that I feel like it could crack into pieces at any second! Proactiv is def NOT for me...maybe if you have lots of acne and very oily skin it could work but for me...not so much! I am going back to my skinlogics by beauticontrol...that, I KNOW works for me...no more experimenting :)

Pros:

It works at first but not later...

Cons:

well if you stop it doesn't work. also it doesn't work for some people. it doesn't help me anyore.

70 dollars

I have been using proactive for a month and a half, and it started working at first. My skin was tight and clearing up. But then after two weeks it was the same. I don't know maybe if i am applying it wrong but it doesn't work anymore. I have been using it twice a day.

Pros:

It cleared up the pimple overnight.

Cons:

My face broke out worse than it was to start with! My face ended up being really blotchy,itchy, dry, scaley. It's horrible.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. It literally makes my face itch like crazy. It became dry, really red, and more broke out than what it started as. I really did not like this product. I can't get over the fact that it's suppose to work and clear your skin overnight, and when you wake up, sure the pimple you wanted gone is gone, but you have more to deal with. If you use the cleanser on your fact, whereever you put it, your face will break out extremely bad, hense the dry and itchy face. Also, I don't like the fact that it's auto-renewal, and it's a pain to get that cancelled.

Pros:

- The sales woman was very nice!
- I can already feel a different consistency in my skin. It's smoother and a few bumps have dissapeared.
- Free gift of mineral blush.

Cons:

- My face became swollen around my eyes and quite red and angry looking.
- I paid $140 for the basics and a night cream and a deep cleansing wash. Very pricey for skin care. The most I've ever spent.

I've only been using it for a few days but I can already feel a difference in the smoothness of my skin. It really gets deep into your pores but I found it wasn't a good make up removing cleanser and so I had to use both the Cleanser and Deep Cleansing Wash to get my make up off. Last night my skin was red and tingly, which isnt at all normal for me. This morning my face was still red but quite puffy and swollen around my eyes. I wonder wether it was an allergic reaction of if it'd normal for skin to have this sort of reaction. The price was reasonable if by chance this skincare works wonders, if not and there is no difference by next week, I'll definetely be asking for my money back.

Pros:

glowing skin
exfoliates

Cons:

lots of steps
takes a while to work

I have been using Proactiv for about 5-6 months now. Only recently have I REALLY been impressed with my face. I have mild acne, just wanted that perfect glowing skin. I've tried **everything** so I decided to try Proactiv. It takes a while, there are lots of steps every time you wash, and there are so many products it takes a while to find what works for you, but now my skin is really looking good. I wouldn't say my acne is gone, I still have the minor hard-to-see blemishes, but my skin IS glowing. I actually like the older version of the products, not the renewing. I wash and use the toner every morning and night, use step 3 only at night. My moisturizer is... on forehead: daily oil control (really works, I can tell if I skip that. On cheeks: skin lightening lotion - will probably switch to green tea there when this runs out it was a free sample. On rest of my face and neck: green tea moisturizer.

I began my proactiv treatment 3 weeks ago with a prior knowledge and game plan of what i needed to do to beat it. I purchased Jojoba Oil along with a Complex 15 moisterizer for my Oily & Sensative skin and i began my regime.I do morning & night, in the morning in the shower i begin with my cleanser adding 2 drops of Jojoba that i got from SuperStore. i add a little over a dime amount of cleanser to my finger and apply to my face and VERY GENTLY apply to my face for 1-2 minutes. The jojoba oil @ this stage helps to reduce any flakes better then the cleanser. i then rinse by cupping water into my hand ( NEVER A FACE CLOTH ), again ever so gently to ensure i do not irritate my skin. Once i finish my shower i PAT DRY my face gently and allow the rest of the moisture to air dry which takes about 5 - 10 mins for me. i then apply my Refining mask to any problem zits that i want to reduce redness or shrink for about 10 mins, i use enough of the mask to cover the zit, i leave this on for about 10 mins then wash off, VERY GENTLY with cool water. Again i Pat Dry & Air Dry. Then i apply my toner with a cotton pad ( cotton balls sometimes leave cotton on my face so i do not use them) i use about 5 - 6 drops and apply all over my face & neck. I then let it air dry. After i apply my Repairing Lotion(BP 2.5%) to my entire face and neck, using about another dime amount, however at the beginning i used less as it was to irritating. i allow the Repairing lotion to airdry once applied for 10 mins, then i apply 3 drops of Jojoba oil to my PALM and dap my fingers in it then apply to my face first patting it on and then spreading it very gently. i wait a few minutes and then apply my Complex 15 moisturizer, using a little over a dime amount. In about 10 - 15 my face would be smooth and dry, the jojoba oil leaves a light shine and i may have to wipe some off using a cotton pad to remove excess oil and reduce the shine. 3 weeks later, i am clear! thanks to proactiv & [link removed] i am now
