Pros:

IT'S BENZOL PEROXIDE AND IT WORKS ON ACNE.

Cons:

YOU CAN GET IT CHEAP AT ANY PHARMACY.

IT'S BENZOL PEROXIDE !!! THAT IS THE MEDICATED INGREDIENT THEY USE. BENZOL PEROXIDE IS THE ONLY MEDICATED CREAM KNOWN TO KILL bacteria P. acnes. YOU CAN BUY IT AT ANY PHARMACY FOR CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP AND AT DIFFERENT STRENGHT. IT'S BEEN AROUND FOREVER...THEY JUST PACKAGED IT DIFFERENTLY AND CALLED IT A NEW MIRACLE SOMETHING. THIS REMINDS ME OF DIET PILLS...THE ONLY THING THAT ACTUALLY REALLY SPEEDS UP THE METABOLISM IS ephedrine !!! NOTHING ELSE. AND IT'S LEGAL IN 8 MG (very mild). TAKE ONE PILL AND ONE CUP OF COFFEE AND TAH TAHHHHH....INSTANT DIET PILL.

Pros:

So far...I haven't found one pro for this product.

Cons:

My face looks HORRIBLE! I am 30 yrs. old and my face has NEVER looked this bad in my life!!!

I have only been using it for a week...but the first two days I used it my face broke out HORRIBLY!! They don't seem to be going away and I seem to be getting MORE big huge cystic looking things. They are hard and they hurt bad. I called the company and they said to keep using it. Now I found this website and I am a little scared. I don't know if I should keep trying it....or Stop! It's worked for so many other people...but then you read all these complaints and it seems like this is exactly what is happening to me. Every time I get up and wash the emergency spot treatment off....I think...my face is looking better...but then by night time....I'm in tears looking at my face!!!! I don't know what to do yet. I have noticed that I have NO blackheads at all. They are all completely gone. Also, where I don't have breakouts...my skin looks very smooth and feels soft. That is what keeps me thinking...."maybe it's working"

Pros:

They have great customer service.
Works on my nose where there are blackheads

Cons:

Increased Breakouts everywhere else except nose

My skin reacts differently than my nose I use this product only on my nose where I get blackheads because it increases breakouts everywhere else and i haven't found another acne product that works. I'm scared to use any other acne products.

Pros:

nothing

Cons:

everything

Proactiv is an overpriced piece of crap that actually makes acne worse. I have used it twice now and both times it led to horrible breakouts. It only appears to be working for some because the product bleaches the skin causing more irritation that leads to more acne.

Pros:

It dried my face out like a prune

Cons:

It didn't do a think for my acne...looked like it made it worse...which would follow the author of this websites belief that acne comes from irritation NOT bacteria...

buy the treatment from this website... get your hands on a multivitamin because you're probably low on something...if you want to know what it is that you're low on...go get bloodwork done from the MD,ask him/her to order vitamin/mineral tests.

Pros:

informercial is very convincing (if you want to consider that a pro)

Cons:

Dried out my face
It bleached certain areas of my face. I didn't realize it until I got some sun on my face & there were "white splotches" from the product. I called Proactiv & they said that could happen-real nice! Wouldn't have used it I had kno

Didn't help me.....made my skin worse from the "bleaching." I don'trecall ever reading about it bleaching your skin, clothing yes, skin no. I would have NEVER used it if I knew.
