Pros:

-Works at first. - I havent noticed any bleaching of my hair or fabrics.
-Doesnt smell TOO bad.- Easy to use.
-Monthly supply lasts a long time.

Cons:

-Works at first then stops.-Makes your skin DRY
-Burns sometimes.

Okay, here's the deal. It worked pretty well at first, but it got gradually less effective as i used it. it makes your skin SO dry and the toning stuff burns like crazy. Its really hard to stop using it though because even just two days of not using it, i broke out terribly. So... use it if you can keep it up, but NEVER quit for a few days...

Pros:

This seems to be doing the trick...and quite quickly

Cons:

My face is a bit dry but I am hopeful that will calm down by next week.

My acne began 4 years ago, I am 33 years old, and had never before had problems with my skin. My doctor said I had Rosacea and prescribed antibiotics, topical creams and cleansers. Combined they made me sick and my skin itchy and very dry. I took myself off of all those products after 2 years and have tried to manage this terrible skin on my own. I was getting fed up and depressed so I took the plunge and purchased this product. I have only been using it for 2 ½ days and already can see and feel a difference!!! The existing acne is healing, the bumps under the skin are gone and my face feels smooth! The redness is calming and other than the little bit of dryness, I seem to have no side effects ' My face doesn't even itch. I can't believe it''.Thank you!

im currently using proactiv and ive been on it for 2 weeks and im really starting to see an improvement and i have moderate acne. the scars and redness are already going away. alot of people dont use a moisturizer with proactiv so yes it will dry out your skin. i use aveeno daily moisturizing lotion fragrence free(noncomedogenic)jut a pea sized amount is good. does not leave my skin oily and gives just the right amount of moisture. Also alot of people dont use the right amount of the products. using too much or too litte will not work. but so far it seems to be working for me. And if it fails my next products will be Dan kern products =].

Pros:

I was having a hard time with my skin all of a sudden my senior year. Proactive really helped my skin get better. I had tried putting oatmeal on my face which helped a while but quit.

Cons:

It drys the face the first few weeks of use, but I guess thats normal. I had to use an additional moisturizer.

Use the product everyday and night..The moisturizer is so smooth to me. It stopped constant breakouts that other products and remedies didnt do. I also used Philosophy Clear acne treatment..I thought Proactive did a better job though. Now I cut a lemon and squeeze the juice out and smooth it on my face with a soft towel if I miss a day of use it helps with breakouts. Just make sure to use the lemon at night if you try it. Also use the Proactive treatment at night religiously.

Pros:

never get cystic pimples, evens skin color, reduces pimples

Is a good product, but if you miss a treatment face will start breaking out. You must stay consistant with it.

Pros:

Smoothes your skin

Cons:

Does Burn at first, gets dry in the beginning and is slow at clearing skin but definitely works.

Ive been using proactiv on and off for about 8 or 9 years (i use it a.m. and p.m. no skipping days!) and to tell ya the truth, im better using it then i am without! I cant believe the difference in my skin from when im using it to not using it! At first your face will be red, itchy, burning and dry but after 2 weeks its back to normal (unless you have allergy to the peroxide) and i would say it takes at least 2mths to clear up acne.

Pros:

Works for a while, didn't dry my skin. Didn't make my acne worse

Cons:

It works on and off, takes along time to work, didn't work that well, i hated the toner.

it worked when i had mild acne, but i didn't notice the difference until a year later when i couldn't afford it. than my acne went kableooy! now i have like slightly severe acne! Use it. only if you can afford it. Use Mary Kay!
