Pros:

exfoliates well, reduces breakouts, smells good, controls oil, doesn't dry my skin

Cons:

the price, having to use several different products (cleanser, toner, lotion, mask)

i really love this product. ive been using it for about 3 years (on and off) and it's really helped my skin. i still get small breakouts now and then but overall my skin is much clearer and the oilyness is reduced. ive tried tons of other brands like neutrogena, vichy, bioré, oxy, and clean and clear but this one works the best by far. at the beginning it can irritate your skin a bit, but just wait a few months because your skin will get used to the formula and won't get irritated anymore.

Pros:

Works great and fast. Makes skin super soft. Great packaging.

Cons:

Very expensive, Small bottles,

I cant beleive how so many people hate proactiv. For my skin, it has worked wonders. A week ago, my forehead had at least 20 red pimples, it has been only a week and i have only 5, smaller and lighter ones. My skin is now much softer and has more glow. Proactiv has truly taken my acne on a fight, and it's really winning it.

Pros:

it clears up my acne overnight

Cons:

I must be cautious not to put too much on or I turn red from an allergic reaction to the Benzoyl Peroxide

I wish this was on the market 30 years ago when I was in my teens, I would have been saved the embarrassing acne I suffered from. I just use the repairing lotion as a spot treatment so as not to cover your entire face with a large amount, which may cause an irritation.

Pros:

Works pretty good. Clears acne but not all.

Cons:

It helps but it doesn't get rid of all pimples and doesn't prevent so well. Not worth it.

Give it a try.

Pros:

- Does clear out acne to a certain extent
- Feels decent on the the skin
- No side effects

Cons:

- Doesn't work as well as promised
- Breakouts still occur, but less severe than before.

Does work to a point, but doesn't go through completely. Still have mild and at times mild/moderate acne on forehead. Pimples and breakouts do appear, despite continuous use and clearing of some acne.

Pros:

My skin glows and feels smooth. LOVE the Refining Mask and the Mild Exfoliating Peel!

Cons:

Costly, and the regimen is time consuming.

This stuff works, but you have to be consistent with it, or else it will stop. Within a week I noticed a difference. I also love the Refining Mask and the Mild Exfoliating Peel. There was one week in particular where I broke out really badly. I used the Exfoliating Peel after the usual regimin and I noticed a difference within three days. I don't think Proactiv works for everybody, though. I heard that it doesn't work well for people with sensitive skin or for people who have extremely oily skin, but it worked well for me!

Pros:

did not irritate my skin, helped get rid of cystic acne & helped with regular zits too

Cons:

you get enrolled in auto ship program in order to hold on to lower rate; the cleanser and the toner run out super fast and I didnt really feel like they helped much anyway

it is an effective product, it did help my skin - it just didnt give me the PERFECT skin that I desire. I will continue to use the refining mask (an awesome product!) and the face cream. The face cream is the only part of the three step process that I even felt mattered. After I ran out of the cleanser and toner I just stopped using them and still have the same results from just using the cream and the mask.

Pros:

I luv this product! I luv the smell, now whenever I'm around my friends they all say I smell good! In just 2 1/2 weeks, my skin wuz completely clear! And it kept it that way. I guess my skin reacted well w/ Proactiv!It leaves my skin smooth and soft!

Cons:

The product wuz a little pricy.

The Proactiv Solution product worked!It keeps on working 4 me and I've had oily, acne prone skin ever since 5th grade! I gav Proactiv a try and it wuz worth it! Now I don't hav 2 feel awkward in class wen we talk about zits, and my friends don't feel weird about talking about their breakouts around me! The Combination Therapy works! I luv, luv, LUV the mask! It made my(rather HUGE)pores tiny and out of sight! My skin in glowing and touchably! The TV comercial shows people who it has work for, so don't be mad if ur unlucky! I got the treatment w/ the 3-step system plus the refining mask and the SPF 15 moisturizer, and now I'm not afraid to meet new ppl! Now my friends are jealous of me!
