Pros:

Improved skin texture for a time.

Cons:

Effects didn't last and it bleached everything!

It works for a little bit, but for me it only seemed to improve the texture of my skin, and I know it was because the product contained Benzoil Peroxide, but it bleached shirts and my down comforter. Which I can deal with if it is a good product, but this stopped working.

Pros:

Works well.

Cons:

For one thing the price is too much. Doesn't work as well as they advertise.

My acne has not cleared up completely. But if I stop using it the acne will get worse. Its a great product for people with very little acne.

made my face feel like it was on fire, was flaming red with irritation, made it more dry, and made my acne worse, too expensive

NOT A GOOD PRODUCT AT ALL!!! Dont get proactiv!! All it will do is make your acne worse and make your face feel bad. BAD FOR YOUR SKIN. DONT GET TRICKED BY ALL THEIR CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENT!!

Pros:

-worked; cleared up majority of acne in a month
-easy to rinse off and to use

Cons:

-expensive for the quantity of product
-order by phone/online

Product worked for 13 yr old son. Suspect expensive because of commercials promoting product. Free s/h on its website now. Read reviews online that there're other acne products equally effective. Haven't tried Daniel's promoted by this site yet but it looks to have better value.

It seemed, at first, like it was working but after about a week it became extremely drying and made my skin red and irritated.

Makes acne worse, makes your skin super dry, red and irritated.

They have good marketing.

Pros:

It cleared up my skin 100% in just a few days! I LOVE PROACTIV! I still have it, but I dont really use it a lot because its been 3 months since I used it. Now my face is clear :)!

Cons:

Kind of expensive, but that does NOT effect the product itself.

I love it

Pros:

none

Cons:

made skin feel really dry and my skin started to peel a lot by my forehead and mouth.

it is so strong that it actually makes your skin worse, and your breakouts don't go away. my skin felt so tight and the moisturizer didn't even work! the cleanser had a weird scent and honestly, you're better off with drugstore products instead of this line! it is a waste of money and of course in the beginning you think it will work like magic, but seriously it doesn't at all!
