Pros:

It has completely cleared up my skin.
It looks healthy and fresh! i love it.
i love no wearing make-up, it is an amazing feeling, having naturally great skin!

Cons:

None so far, other than it does sort of smell like sunscreen, and the price is a bit up there.

This product is Definitely worth trying, it might not work for everyone but it did work for me! I wont go back to other skin care products again. My skin looked clear and all the red spots had disappeared after about 3 days within using the product. My advice, give it a go, and you wont regret it!

Pros:

Works great the first month or two.

Cons:

My skin seemed to adapt to it. After the first couple months, didn't work any more. My skin is ridiculously oily and it doesn't control it at all and I break out the same now as before I used it.

Find another system maybe that you can trade it off with, might work. Hasn't for me yet though. :(

Pros:

Smells alright, left my skin feeling smooth

Cons:

It just doesn't work for me. It was great for a while, but now, nothing. It is very expensive!

Give it a shot, there is a money back guarantee. But don't feel desperate and try to stick with it...I did that.

Pros:

For myself the toner and moisturizer is nice though it did nothing for my acne.

Cons:

It seered my roommate's skin off! I kid you not! She used the product for maybe a week and one day she had chemical burns all over her face! (a doctor's visit confirmed this). I stopped using it after seeing what it did to her.

I dont recommend this product to anyone. It didn't work very well and if you have sensitive skin you can apparently wake up to chemical burns. Stay far far away!

Pros:

none

Cons:

Overly irritating, the cleanser tries to exfoliate and also has benzoyl peroxide in it. Adding more benzoyl peroxide topically just irritates the skin even more, the toner is useless and the lotion doesn't even help with the dryness

Awful. I got horrible, cystic pimples while on this product..also, it is so expensive AND breaks out your skin. I gave it a good run even after I started getting the boils on my face from it. NOT WORTH IT!

Pros:

It works really Quickly
Decrease in the number of pimples on about two weeks.

Cons:

may burn a bit at first
not consistent. if the routine isn't followed, you face get worst than before?

its okay i guess once your are going to keep using the product. rumor has it that after about three or four sets, its stops working but i have only used two set... i cant deal with the routine!!

Pros:

It feels good, and the mask does work overnight

Cons:

It rarely works, the mask and the toner react weird so they smell bad, I have been using it for months and still have horible acne

Maybe it does work on some people, but I'm doing everything as the instructions say and have had no luck whatsoever. Because of this, I believe either it doesn't work, or I am one of the unlucky few who got the 'control package'.

Pros:

definatly cleared up my acne. my face feels softer and less oily. The refining mask also works amazingly! not so much as a spot treatment, but if i use it as a mask it makes my skin so much softer and gets rid of large, painful pimples.

Cons:

if i don't use proactiv consistantly, i will break out or at the least get a few pimples. the repairing lotion is also very drying, but i found that if i used the green tea moisturizer after using the lotion, my face isn't dry at all.

Proactiv works, but you have to be committed to using the product twice a day like the labels say. If you skip a day or only use proactiv at night, it will NOT work like it's supposed to.

Pros:

Easy to use.

Cons:

It doesn't work. Period.

Don't waste your money. They get stars to endorse their product because they have the money to do so. Stars get facials and have dermatologists. Not because they use Pro-Activ.
