Pros:

Works OK for about a week

Cons:

Too expensive, not very effective, right when it seems like your face is clearing up you break out again.

Don't waste your money on this stuff, pay the extra money to go to a dermatologist and get a prescription; that's the only thing that works. After you first order it call them right away and cancel it because they will send you bigger bottles and more useless creams that don't work and charge you A LOT more than the $19.99 as advertised in their commercials.

Pros:

-clears up your acne within 2-3 weeks
-cheap compared to the many different solutions i've already tried

Cons:

-smells bad for a few minutes
-repairing treatment can look oily if you don't dab off after a few minutes

I had really bad acne, even cystic acne all the time all in my t-zone. I started proactiv and used regularly for about 6 months only skipping a morning here or there. Now I only get the occasional little white head due to hormones (i'm a teenager). I've been using it for over 2 years now and i am so much more confident now. and the best part is that i can now go for days at a time without using it and i still remain acne free. however the repairing treatment can dry out your face first which is why i always used clean n' clear moisturizer before using the toner or moisturizer and i now have smooth moisturized skin. Try this product and stick with it for a month or so. It can take time.

Pros:

Helped within days
Easy to order
Fast shipping
Easy to make your own kit
Lots of free extras on first order

Cons:

Pricey

I LOVE this stuff. My skin was rediculously dry before I stared using Proactive. This product used with the Daily Oil Control and Oil Free Moisture has cleared most of my pimples and all of the dryness in a matter of 3 weeks. Almost time for kit #2!!! Highly recommended

Hopeful that it would work.

Cons:

Auto-ship and charge
Small amounts of product
Adverse reaction
HORRIBLE customer service!!

I'm happy for those people that this product worked for unfortunately I am not one of them. My face completely broke out in a raised rash and then peeled off. I then had to begin the two month process of canceling my account. Absolutely ridiculous! I which I had never tried it!

Pros:

somewhat cleared skin

Cons:

skin became very dry and i started getting very deep blackheads

this product dried my skin out so bad that the lotion that came in the kit wasnt enough to moisturize my face. i started to get very bad and deep blackheads all over my face. Now that i have stopped using it my face is worst than it has ever been. Even though,its still not worth using again and having skin like sand paper. Once you start this product it takes along time for your skin to get back to normal. EXPECT MAJOR BREAK OUTS.
