Pros:

I LOVEEEE this product! It works very fast! I've only had it for 2 weeks and my skin is clear. I almost didn't buy Proactiv because of all of the bad reviews...but i decided to try it, and I'm glad I did. I'm thinking maybe people don't use it the right way? I don't know but make sure you follow directions and you will have clear skin! Thanks, Proactiv!<3

Cons:

None yet...sometimes my skin feels tight so I use the Green Tea Moisturizer and it works well.

Great product! Just try it!

Pros:

-Works great!
-Skin was soft.
-Gave you a free prize.

Cons:

-Smells weird.
-Itty Bitty Bottles.
-Dried my skin and now its all flakey!

I ordered this honestly because I saw Justin Bieber on a commercial for it. But I ordered it because there was free shipping. When I got it it was right on time. I opened the box up to find about a 2 inch bottle. Lucky the last a lot longer. They already sent me another package but I'm still on the first one. Proactive dried out my skin to where it got flakey! So I stopped using it. A couple days after my acnee got worse! I never really got acne but now I do. So I tried using it again and it burned! It left my face bright red! But luckily after a week of using it my acne cleared!

Pros:

Clears Face quickly.
Feels clean.

Cons:

Smells funny.
Small amount for money.
Stains stuff.

This is a great product. I've been using it for a little over a month. My skin isn't ALL the way clear but mostly. And the one or two that are left are small and hardly seeable. They come back in different places but go away in about two days. Makes my skin soft and fresh felling. Defiantly recommend it. Anyway, everything has it's pros and cons. Nothing is 100 percent perfect and probably never will be.

Pros:

EVERYTHING!

Cons:

-a little drying to skin at beginnning

-have to wear sunscreen on your face when tanning outside for an extended amount of time

I LOVE Proactiv Solution! I've tried every product possible and nothing worked as well as Proactiv did. I was a little nervous at first because it was very drying to my skin and didn't work right off as I anticipated. But i kept using it and within 2-3 weeks I had no acne whatsoever! The Refining Mask is awesome! When you have a blemish, just a dab before bed and within 1-3 days, it's gone! No other product has worked so quickly! It is a little on the expensive side, I ordered my first system through Proactiv itself for $19.95, but when it was time to re-order (and you don't get it for $19.95), I found it ALOT cheaper on [link removed]! I hope this review helps you make the decision to use this product!

Pros:

It does work!!!!!

Cons:

You must use as directed!!!!

Acne start from under the skin. So using this product on your face helps for a little on the outside of the skin. But what about the inside of the skin. Sooner of later you well have to use a antibiotics. Ance is an infection of the skin. So that's why this product only work for a little.

Pros:

Great cleansers
B.P. is a gel, so you can blend it in without it being visible on your face
Toner helps even out skin tones

Cons:

Mostly only works with people with mild acne
Expensive

Okay, i've used Proactiv off and on for a while. Probably close to 4-5 years now. I have never had severe acne, but I did have moderate acne for a while. I tried using Proactiv for my worst acne period and it really didn't help too much. Where people get confused is when it comes to the B.P. in the product. B.P. is meant to PREVENT breakouts, which I feel Proactiv does pretty well. However, if you have severe breakouts and are expecting Proactiv to magically make them disappear, this isn't the product for you. Unless you want to prevent future breakouts. If you have severe acne problems, you need to look for a product that will TREAT your currently existing acne. I ended up seeing my doctor to get some prescriptions to treat my acne, and I feel that it is now under control. I am back to using Proactiv solely to help PREVENT breakouts from happening. It has been working great and I love that they've updated the bottles as well as the B.P. It used to be a clear gel but now it's a thicker, whiter lotion-type texture. You can still rub it in without it being visible, though. I feel that this updated formula has helped it be more effective. So if you're looking for an acne system that really helps cleanse your face and leaves it smooth, Proactiv is for you.

Pros:

Cleared my skin quickly

Cons:

Expensive
a bit drying

It worked really well for me. im definatly going to re purchase it once it runs out. If it ever runs out, for the amount you use per day, one bottle of each product is going to last me like 6+ months.
