Pros:

None at all

Cons:

This product scared my face where i had pimples and made patches of acne on my skin where i never had problems before. Wherever I had a bad pimple it got rid of the blemish but left a brown mark in its place

This product is a complete SCAM! The acne medication scared my face where I had pimples and actually made my complexion much WORSE! This is an over priced product that gets you to believe that it will work so awesome and so quickly. I kept waiting for my miracle skin to appear and it never happened, instead all I'm left with is brown scars on my face and a horrible product.The medication kept my acne at bay so it would get worse not better. I would have hated to see what my face looked like if I full blown acne before I used it then it would have been even worse! On top of it all they won't refund my money so all I'm left with is a horrible product and scars.

Pros:

Proactiv really does clear up your skin. The 3-Step system is very easy to use and you honestly can skip a day or two without anything happening to your skin. I am able to use other OTC products without any problems.

Cons:

I can only use it at night because my face is red and oily for a bit until it blends in with the skin. Also i would use something like aveeno or cetaphil in addition.

Proactiv really does clean up your skin, although i wouldn't say that it makes it luminous like they do on the ads. The refining mask is probably the best product and really does work if not over used. Just don't over use the product and you should be fine.

Pros:

ZERO

Cons:

made my skin worse
smells real bad
too expensive for such a scam

okay, long story short i had faith in it, used it for 3+ months last year well... it did not help one bit it made my acne WORSE than its ever been before proactiv is full of harsh ingredients that are not nice to your skin and make your skin burn, itch and peel. proactiv is such a stupid product. dont buy it. sure theres a chance it may work for you, but that chance is slim and not worth the risk of breaking out worse than you are now and having to fix the damage done by it. also, WHY would you put that much peroxide on your face? ya, they claim theres such a small amount in it, but why put that stuff on your face at all?HINT- be NICE to your face and it will return the favor. dont smother it with acne medications.i used biore cleanser and it quickly fixed proactivs damage.lesson learned.

Pros:

Made me think it was going to get better

Cons:

Doesn't clear it up.
Sometimes made me break out more

It doesn't work in the long run. It may work at first. But then you will break out more. The refining mask made me break out even more! And it gave me body acne too. It's a f**king joke. And notice in the commercials how the "real people" say how it works. And notice how they look TOTALLY different? Like in the before thing, the girl had short hair, then in the after one, she had long hair, with braces. So, you do the math.

Pros:

A PROACTIVE USER THAT ALWAYS COMES BACK

Cons:

My skin is never a 100% clear

Proactive is the best skin care line for me, compared to anything else I have tried. Whenever I stray I always come back. I stopped using Arbonne Clear Advantage cuz it sucked and immediatly when I used Proactive my skin improved in skin tone eveness, and clarity. I alsos love the fact that it exfoliates my skin which is something that everyone needs to keep that top layer of skin looking new. I love it!

Pros:

Almost completely clears up skin most of the time. I did get some people complimenting on my skin looking great but it never lasted I would eventually have another bad breakout.

Cons:

Never completely cleared up my skin. Caused skin to become dry in some areas. Still have tons of blackheads.

Possibly will work better for men but didn't work during my menstrual cycle. :(
