Pros:

My skin looked fresher than before. The toner gives a nice shine to your face

Cons:

My skin is dry!!!! and im still breaking out like big pimples! and its not good for blackheads

At first i was like wow this is so great! and my skin was so smooth and stuff. But now my skin is dry and flaking! theres reddening on my face and i think it caused parts of my face to be darker than others. I really want it to work (and still do) just like the commercials but my skin doesnt look so good anymore it all bumpy and stuff.

Pros:

exfoliates throughly, tones and evens face, deep cleans, soft-to-the-touch-skin, brigther complexion.

Cons:

pretty expensive to re-stock.
it MAY causes major dryness if you're a newbie to proactive, especially if you start during winter (REALLY bad idea! so don't do it!)
the oil-free spf 15 "moisturizer" sucks sooo much! it didn't help at all x[

so basically, NEVER EVER use the 3step kit during WINTER! that is if you're a newbie to proactiv. And I don't use any of the so-called moisturizers in the proactiv line cuz they really don't work at all (for me anyway....) instead I use Aveeno's Positively Radiant moisturizer! (it does wonders for your skin) and applying a non-comedogenic & oil-free lotion at night absolutely helps with dryness. Of course, don't think that your skin can survive without a proper moisturizer (with SPF!), because you're oh so wrong betches! "To Moisturize Is Essential"

Pros:

The cleanser felt real nice on my skin.

Cons:

pricey!. didn't think it was worth the money..

It didn't work on my face at all! i have super sensitive skin. I could'nt get through at least 1 week before my skin started burning and my face had begun to feel like it was striped down and it was very itchy. I had to put my face in cold water to make the burning and itching sensation go away. I retried the product months later but i recieved the same results . so i will neer use this product again.

Pros:

Keeps skin soft and clear

Cons:

The lotion will bleach your towels and pillowcases

I've been using this product for nearly two years, and it works great for me. My skin does get extra dry every so often, but I just put on an additional, non-medicated moisturizer. I don't go through it nearly as quickly as "recommended" because I only use it once a day.

Pros:

Has a nice fragrance

Cons:

Makes your face feel dry and wrinkled
Very expensive

I used proactiv for two complete months but didn't find any noticeable changes in my blemishes. I then switched over to Clear Pores and was astonished by its results in just three weeks time. Proactiv sucks! Thanks Clear Pores.

Pros:

-reduced oil in my T-Zone and makes my skin silky smooth
-evens out my skin tone VERY well
-was easy to incorporate in my morning/night routines

Cons:

-expensive
-ABSOLUTELY CANNOT SKIP A CLEANSING. MUST BE DONE EVERY MORNING AND NIGHT.

The bottom line is this: ProActiv does work. It's just not the "miracle cure" that the infomercials make it out to be. I'm African American and it is EXTREMELY hard to find products that agree with my skin tone and help reduce scarring and ProActiv has evened out my skin tone almost perfectly; i just have a few dark blemishes that'll probably never go away. I can run my fingers over my face and its smooth and soft for the first time in like 3 years! I went from having between 5-10 pimples on my face at a time and now (ive been using ProActive for 4.5 weeks) I have one pimple on my chin. I was SUPER SKEPTICAL about using this product but I was desperate... but here I am a month later and I'm no longer embarassed if my boyfriend touches my face because it feels smooth. :-)

Pros:

meh

Cons:

meh

the first time i used it, it cleared me up pretty well, but i had very few pimples back then. The second time, it did not work at all. I saw no results. But it did not cause any redness or drying for me, it was very gentle on my skin. It will work if you have few small pimples, if you have big cysts and areas of redness... it won't. Use only if you have mild acne, for moderate-severe, please go to a derm.

Pros:

i have used this proactive for bout a year
and it took a while but i did see results .skin was sometimes burn from the toner.love the exfoliate and the repairing lotion.my skin looked brighter and the acne got smaller but didnt go away completley

Cons:

acne is mostly on my cheeks and forehead very oily skin i notice the acnebumps got smaller but did not go away and as soon as i stopped they were back again .

its only good while your using its a quick fix for the momemt too much money and bottles too small for the price .would like to find something that will cure it altogether .not keep coming back and get rid of dark spots on my cheeks

Pros:

-cleared up problem areas and alot of the rough spots.
-Prevented and reduced breakouts by alot
-pimples go away twice as fast and come back less and less.

Cons:

-using all 3 products dried my face out alot, so i stopped using the toner. I'll use it ever now and then on my t-zone, but the cleanser and lotion are usually enough.

It works pretty well for me. It makes my face feel fresh and clean.

I use proactive and eXposed Skin Care, both of these products doesn't works. But explosed is far more worse then proactive. Re-billing of exposed is also not very good. Does anybody have a similar experience? Check this website, I found it while surfing web. [link removed]
