Pros:

Had very stubborn bumps on forehead that i could not get to go away with any other product. proactiv cleared it up in less than a week..Get very few pimples now and if i do proactiv clears them up quickly

Cons:

Facial redness for the first hour or so following application, but no irritation. Redness clears up quickly.

Im glad i took the chance on this product. i dont think its for people with any type of sensative skin. I have very hardy italian skin that wont even burn in the sun, but it does get a little red with proactiv use.

Pros:

The sulfer mask is pretty good.
Sounds good.

Cons:

Dried out my skin.
Didn't work.
Expensive.

I've had mild acne since I was 15 and I'm 25 now. I seem to always have one or two blemishes and I finally gave into the commercials and bought proactiv. For the first couple of weeks, it seemed to be working, then it started drying my skin. My skin become scaly and redder and worse, my skin began to break out the same as before using it. I stopped using it after a month of this and returned the product. I will sasy this for proactiv, they do return your money with little fuss. Btw: I started using Alpha Hydrox Souffle last week and I've noticed an improvement in pore size and my acne scars are less noticable, and my skin is smoother.

Pros:

It worked for Jessica Simpson.

Cons:

Dries skin and in turn makes it oily. Causes wierd rashes. Just sucks overall.

Used this when I was younger and will NEVER go back to it. Its been around for years and the truth is theres better stuff out there now(ex. RetinaMicro). I think JS's getting older really cleared her acne but I guess she needs the endorsement money so she supports it(thats just my theory,though).

Pros:

NONE!

Cons:

Expensive, after I received the second set it stopped working.

The first time I tried it it worked great! Then when I received my second shipment I used it the same way and I started to get like an itchy little invisible bumps on my face. I couldn't see them but I could feel them, I also got acne in places I never had before. My skin was oily to start and it made it even worse. I received the third shipment and sent it back but I have to pay for shipping, It has been a month since I sent it back and still no refund, so I called proactiv today I was told I had an allergic reaction to the product, and was told it takes 6-8 weeks for me to get my refund. Oh, and they tried to sell me the "gentle" formula! DON'T USE IT!!!

Pros:

none

Cons:

lots

the cleanser hurts! the first time I washed my face (with a gentle facewash called Purity) after stopping proactiv I was so relieved, I couldn't stop smiling. AND proactiv it made it worse...instincts told me the lotion (2.5 benzoyl peroxide) was a good thing, then I found this website, and started using bezoyl peroxide again, sans the proactiv wash and toner

Pros:

Gets rid of the zits you have and then keeps new ones from forming.

Cons:

Does at first cause a little skin irritation but it tells all about how to address those specific issues in the brochure they send with the product for those of you who didn't read.

This sh*t works. It says that it works for most people. I guess the most people it worked for are out having a good time without their zits to post on here.

Pros:

Absolutely NONE.

Cons:

Doesn't work, made my skin break out into a rash...

I had a few zits and some increased oiliness during my time of the month and decided I wanted to give ProActiv a try. I tried it for exactly 3 days. The first day I noticed a marked improvement in my blemishes dried out, became less red etc. On the second day I noticed a rash on my neck (where I also used the product). I thought in was unrelated and continued using ProActiv that night as well. However, when I woke up in the morning I had tiny, almost not visable bumps in every single pore of my face. I honestly can't really see them but I can definitely feel them. They are like little hives all over my neck and face. I threw my ProActiv products away and went back to drug store products this morning. I just washed my face about 30 minutes ago with a little cleanser and am already noticing an improvement in the tiny bumps. ProActiv is the worst purchase I've ever made.
