Pros:

Absolutely nothing.

Cons:

After one week face erupted in a very big, itchy, red rash from my cheeks down to my neck. (Was told this was the face getting used to the product.) Kept using it. What replaced the rash was horrible acne.

Would never recommend this garbage to anyone. It made me break out 10000x worse than I ever have in my life. As with most other reviewers I was getting acne in areas that I never even had acne in the first place. They weren't small either. Large, red, cystic painful lumps. I never had horrible acne, just hormonal and after using this, I would wake up every single day with a new acne. I am JUST repairing the damage to my face. I was left with hyperpigmentation on my cheeks, and indented scars. I use Aveeno products now along with Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion and my face has never looked better.

Pros:

clears up skin after several days of using it, able to get results applying only once a day, more effective then the generic imitation brands, customer service accommodating to my preferences

Cons:

expensive, required club membership for discounts, must continue to use product to maintain clear skin, the renewing cleanser runs out before the toner or lotion, small breakouts during specific stage of menstrual cycle,

You must keep using to have consistent results. But it is very expensive. I had moderate acnee for 3 years, so I ordered proactiv. I was able to see results with less consistent use then was recommended on the bottle. I initially only used it once a day and saw results in several weeks( for 6 months). I was then able to maintain results using it every other day (3 months). I purchased separately some generic brand cleanser and toner because I run out of the proactiv brand. I had effective results using a washcloth to remove the dead skin cells before applying the treatment. (2 months.) For a month I discontinued the treatment only scrubbing my face with the washcloth and was surprisingly able to maintain clear skin. The breakouts have now come back again and spot treatments with only the toner help but my blemishes still remain.

Pros:

Works well, smells pretty good.

Cons:

Expensive, dries out the skin, and you need to buy the pricey green tea moisturizer to treat the dry skin it causes.

I had really bad acne, it didn't work at first and I stopped using it. A few months later, I went to the dermatologist and started taking antibiotics which cleared my face up quite a bit, but I still had some mild acne. I decided to start using Proactiv again and it cleared my face completely. I think it is a great product. The only downer is that it is super expensive and you have to buy the Green Tea Moisturizer which is also sold by Proactiv.

Pros:

Makes your face feel clean I guess

Cons:

The toner burns like heck! Really dried out my face and made it painful for days after using it just once!

I would not use this, I tried it about 3 months ago, was in pain while using it but though my face /skin would get used to it. After maybe a month I stopped using it, still hurt afterwards. 2 nights ago I figured I'd try it again, have not used it since because my face is dry and painful from one time use!
