Pros:

it makes your skin soft and smooth when you use it and your skin feels very clean. it moisturizes your skin.

Cons:

after you stop using it, it stops working right away. it also takes a while for results. it makes your skin very oily later on in the day.

this product takes a while to work until you start seeing results. on tv they exagerate because it doesnt work that well how they say it does. it makes your skin really smooth after a week or two of using it. it eventually starts working but when you stop using it, your skin will break out really fast.

Pros:

clears acne, skin becomes very much softer,

Cons:

a bit too expensive

i would recomend getting this product if you have a lot of acne, but dont expect the results you see in ads, it certanly helps reduce acne, but does get rid of them completely

Pros:

got rid of most of my major pimples after just 2 uses, gave my skin a healthy glow

Cons:

the smell, toner smells most disgusting, toner stings sometimes, BP lotion can really dry out your skin, expensive, not enough supply, dried out my chin, and the skin around my eyes, does not get rid of dead skin

this has got to be the best acne product i've used ever. My acne started to flare up about 3 weeks ago, and clean&clear scarred my face, and made it extremely red. So i decided to try out proactiv, and i don't regret buying this product. Now i only have light acne, and my skin isn't red anymore! i can actually look people in the eye when i'm talking to them now. It does dry out our skin quite a bit, i even got sunburn on my chin. now theres two big dark patches on my chin. just use it once a day, since it is a pretty strong product

Pros:

Proactiv is great. It definitly cleans the skin great, leaves skin feeling smooth, and most importantly, clears your acne.

Cons:

It is a liitle expensive. But, I'd rather spend the money on a product that works than on tons of other products that don't.

It's not instant magic. It does take a couple weeks or so to start seeing dramatic results. It is great at clearing and preventing acne when it is used consistently. For the people who say that Proactiv dries out the skin a lot, it even says on the bottle, if your skin starts to dry up a lot, you need to reduce the usage to once a day. And if you use a good, oil-free, non-comedeogenic moisturizer, dry skin is absolutely not a probalem. I would recommend this product to anyone because I think it really does work. You just need to follow the instructions and be consistent with it. Also, when first starting Proactiv, you need to start with only one use a day for 3-5 days so that your skin can get accustomed to it. That is why many people on here have red blemished that appear because they do not let their skin become accutomed to it. Like I said, you just have to follow the directions and you need to read the information packet that comes with it because it really helps.

Pros:

It completely cleared up my skin. I've been pimple/break-out free for almost 3 months now.

Cons:

When I first used it, like the first three days, my face was a little itchy and dry.

It's a really good product. Like I said I got a bit itchy on the face in the very beginning, so like it said on the instructions, I used it less often (once instead of twice a day) and the itching and dryness went away. Now I just use it in the morning and my skin is completely clear and is always soft and smooth. Easily the best skin care I've ever used.

Pros:

It Works, i didn't think it did, at all it just pissed me off, yet for some reason i kept using it. It makes sense now, everybody complains it dosnt work after only a week of use. i had horrible achene for a month of use, than it completely cleared!

Cons:

ITS EXPENSIVE, takes so long to work, and the first week your skin is irritated

IT DOES WORK. Dont complain a product dosntr work if the directions arent fully followed and time isnt given for it to work. i only use the wash and occasionaly the cream, never the toner, and it works fine after a month. also on bad breakouts add some Equate achene cream to the spots, its only like 1.50 at walmart, and its gone in a day.

Pros:

product works well. i dont really have acne, just dry skin. for those of you who have redness or iritation ask for the gental formula kit. I LOVE IT.

Cons:

i worked for proactiv a long time ago. i dont necessarily agree with some of the policies. some of the csr's are nasty, but some of the customers treat them like crap, just for doing their job. i know people dont want to listen to a million options

you have other than to cancel the accoutn, but listen up ITS THEIR JOB. they dont call you up and scream at you for doing ur job so you shouldn't do it either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

Your face will glow. It will be incredibly smooth and beautifully toned. I love this stuff.

Cons:

Maybe just a bit expensive and you may have dry skin. (they suggest using it less frequently if so). For some people, they may feel like they have sensitive skin to the touch.

Some people, unfortunately have had some bad luck with this product.A lot of it has to do with your skin type. Some people may not get good reactions to is while others will. Sometimes you need to give it time to see it work. A few weeks isn't enough. I understand the frustrations though. Just do the 60 day trial first. I think if it hasn't satisfied you by the end of that, then you have your answer. This way, you can get your money back . I don't suggest buying the expensive stuff until you know it will work for you first. I have very sensitive skin and Proactiv actually has worked well for me. I would like to recommend it but not everyone can get the results they really want. Few do. It's all in your skin type. :)
