Pros:

It clears up your skin, of course.

Cons:

If you miss even one use (even if you only use it once a day instead of two) you break out again

I've been using this for a long time, at first it dried my skin out but now it's been working really good. THE THING YOU HAVE TO KNOW is if you miss using it ONE time, even if you just use it once a day instead of two like you're supposed to, you break out. USE the refining mask! it helps a lot. and pro activ is a good product, worth the money. use it

Pros:

Stopped my nodular-cystic acne from forming. I had over 20 large underground cysts on my forehead, and nothing seemed to work. Now, after almost a month consistently on proactiv, I have only two left - much better than before.

Cons:

dries out my skin, stings for a little while, skin is flaky and feels uncomfortable

It's not a miracle cure for everybody, but I recommend you try it out if nothing else is working, and stick it out for a few weeks to give it a chance to work. (Unless you are allergic to benozyl peroxide!)

Pros:

Works well to clear up breakouts, especially the mask.

Cons:

you must use it twice a day, everyday until your face doesn't breakout anymore which could be a long time fro when you started.

Proactiv is a very good product. The mask is the best product because it dries up blemishes overnite. Anytime I have a breakout, I sleep with the mask on and the next morning, the pimple is gone. I love Proactiv so much that I now manage one of the locations in Georgia.

Pros:

It didn't work very consistently at first; I definitely got results right away, but after a few weeks, I started to get pimples again. After three months though, my skin was clear. I've been using it for six months now and don't get pimples anymore.

Cons:

It doesn't seem to work the same for everyone. It can dry out your skin a bit, so it's wise to also get the moisturizing lotion. Also kind of expensive.

It worked very well for me (and I had moderate acne before using Proactiv) but by reading these reviews I can tell it isn't the same for everyone. Try it for a month or two and see how it goes.

Pros:

After 3 days I can say this product is remarkable. I am 40 and have two or three continuous blemishes and extremely oily skin. My skin feels smoother and must less oily with Proactiv.

Cons:

The bottles are too small. I would rather purchase 8 oz bottles. It is pretty expensive as compared to Mary Kay, my previous product. Also, I don't like the idea or recurrent purchasing. I finally found it at the mall and purchased it there.

I will keep using it because my skin looks so much better. I do have very, very oily skin and I can see how someone with more sensitve skin would experience irritation with the strength of this product but it works great for me.

Pros:

Makes my face feel really smooth. My blackheads are finally disapearing. Keeps my skin from breaking out.

Cons:

When you first start using it, it will bring out the zits that are already developing under your skin and then it will make them go away. Kinda pricey

I love it! I use it everyday. I don't use the repairing lotion everyday though. Whenever I feel a breakout coming on or a blemish that is itchy I can go use it right then and it goes away. I have always had blackheads and I tried everything to get rid of them and nothing would ever work.....until proactiv. My blackheads are disappearing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
