Pros:

Dried out my acne

Cons:

Burnt the hell out of my face
Made my acne worse
Left little bumps all over my cheeks
VERY EXPENSIVE

My whole life I would probably get around one major pimple a month. Then at the start of the year (turned 24) I started to break out a little more. Not really sure why, perhaps it was change in make-up products. I decided to try proactive. I started using it once a day due to how sensitive my skin is, Once i applied it, my face would go very red and burnt like crazy, sometime I would sit there wanting to run into the bathroom and wash it all off. This was with the moisturizer as well. I read that it would make me break out for a while after using it. So I stuck with it for about a month, but the acne that was forming was just not going away and I start to get little pimples that were under my skin all over my face. Everyday I would wake up with a new huge pimples. I stopped using it after a month and I figure I gave it a good enough run. i feel my face is damaged due to the products. I know everyone skin is different but to anyone who has very sensitive skin, I recommend this to not be used.

Made my skin dry
I just started using proactiv after using Simple products. Ive got to say that Proactiv made my face so dry, especially around my chin area. I had to keep re-applying moisturiser on it allday which isnt really ideal but I could not walk around with a dry face. Some bits were even peeling abit. So this isnt the product for me. So back to Simple I go.

Disgusting!
I purchased this set with high hopes and within a few days my skin was awful. Sore, irritated and a worse break out then I started with. I was so disappointed when I received a second months worth and realised when I made the purchase I unintentionally opted for three months worth. However, the third month nothing arrived and even though I was charged I didn't dispute it as I absolutely can not bear this product! only to find the crooks took a further payment and entered me into a membership that you have to contact them to cancel AGAIN DID NOT EVEN SEND PRODUCTS! Customer service is shocking and I really hope they are picked up on watchdog! scandalous! I DO NOT recommend this product at all!!

My acne turned into cystic acne. DON'T BUY IT.
Bought it when I was 15 made my acne turn into cystic acne. F**ks up your skin. Stains your clothes. They keep on insisting to keep buying the product. They never shut up. Once you buy it they take money away from you and send you bigger bottles without permission. DON'T EVER BUY THIS EVER.

BURNS MY SKIN!!!
After suffering from minor acne at the age of 15 i turned to proactic. I found that it made my skin vreak out more and made fine lines and very uneven skin tone. 1 year late i still suffer breakouts. I used the proactiv repairing treatment (step3) after 15 minutes of painful burning i washed it off my face to find where i had apolied the treatment there were very visible burns on my face. I am so upset and cannot sress enough how bad this product is for your skin. Its money spent for burns and a face full of blemishes. I wish i could post a photo so people could see how bad the burns are.
