Pros:

Worked well for 3 years. I had the occasionally monthly premenstrual zit, but that was it.

Cons:

expensive
it made my acne worse after 3 years of usage

I guess this product works well with others. It did for me, but now I'm breaking out even more, and I'm about to get married so I'm stuck. Depressing.

Pros:

It worked amazingly at first to get rid of the little bumps on my forehead and my chin.

Cons:

As soon as I missed one face wash I began to break out. If I skipped a day because I left the stuff at home, my face would completely break out. The longer I used Proactive, the more dry and irritated my skin became, so I used less...my skin looks

The longer I used Proactive, the more dry and irritated my skin became, so I used less...my skin looks way worse than when I first started Proactiv. I have new pimples everyday. My skin is so used to all the drying agents in the Proactiv; so much that when I stopped using it my face is completely freaking out. I wish I would have never started using it!

Pros:

It took half of my acne away and most of my bigger pimples.

Cons:

My face got used to it and the other half of my acne wouldn't go away. I still had the black heads and white heads. It over dried my skin. The 3 step process is so annoying.

Its best for people with light to moderate acne.

Pros:

-Makes your face feel clean,
-You can see the toner removing dirt,
-Affordable

Cons:

The mask doesnt actually work over night like it claims

Ive only been using it for about a week, i feel a difference in my face, there are still a few spots here and there but im pleased with the results so far. i know alot of people say it didnt work for them but everyones skin is different and reacts differently to different ingredients. so i wouldnt say 'it doesnt work' because you really dont know until you try.

Pros:

It slightly cleared my acne but it never got completely rid of it. The toner made it seem like it really was working because of the dirt on the cotton ball.

Cons:

It irritated my skin and caused my face to get really red. It caused new zits to form and didn't get rid of some stubborn ones.

It did clear up for my skin, but that was short lived. I noticed zits popping up and before long, I was breaking out. Maybe it just doesn't work for me, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Pros:

It was easy to use, light on my skin, and smelled decent.

Cons:

I used it pre-acutane and it did nothing for my cysts. NOTHING. I used it post-acutane and it helped smooth things out.

It's ok. I think it may work for some people. I do not want to be hooked on Benzyl P for the rest of my life. Would prefer a more natural path. Also, in speaking with an aesthetician, was told that ProActiv tends to push things down in the skin and people that used to have cystic acne have a chance of getting it again. and I DO NOT want to go through that again. Bottom line, I am returning my package. It's all nice and well packaged, but the reality is that I don't want to much unnatural STUFF on my skin. Thanks!

Pros:

Clears up skin fast, fairly easy to add to a routine

Cons:

bleaches clothes, burns a little at first.

I definitely reccomend this product. I always heard great things about it from most, but I still hear that for some, it doesn't work. It did wonders for my brother and best friend, so I tried it. It's amazing. Within 2 days my skin cleared up. I actually like the buring feeling, it's not terribly uncomfortable and I know its working.
