Pros:

-makes you feel clean

Cons:

-isn't consistent

I used proactiv for about 5 months and it worked the first 3. i stopped using it for a day and my face COMPLETELY broke out really bad. The reason why is because when you use an exfoliating cleanser twice a day, its actually creating more oil.

Pros:

*gets rid of acne COMPLETELY if used for at least 3 months.

Cons:

*smells *make skin feel itchy *makes skin VERY dry *takes a LONG time to get rid of acne *if you forget to use it for just one day, you'll breakout like CRAZY *makes face look red *expensive as hell

NOT WORTH TRYING ! i have VERY bad acne on my face, and it didn't do much. just made my skin flaky, itchy, and red. My mommy still uses it, and it works GREAT on her; but she BARELY have any acne on her face. I guess it depends on your skin type and how sever your acne are. Works better on people with less acne.

Pros:

It kept new zits from forming.

Cons:

Overpriced. It didn't take all of my pimples away. They stayed there for a month and its still there. Whenever you stop using it for a day, you break out even more. I only used it on certain parts where i broke out, and it stretched out those pores.

Don't buy it. It is overpriced and is horrible. The clay mask has SLS in it. There are too many chemicals. I've had pimples around my nose for a month, and all proactiv did was keep them down but it never went away. For the areas on my face that I put it on, my pores are now visible. I used it for about 8 months. The first starter kit lasted me 4 months, my face was pretty clear but I had a pimple or do. I stopped using it for a couple weeks and I bought the bigger bottles. It was a waste and didn't work for some reason. Its one of those things where you cant use longterm.

Pros:

it took care of some of the bigger pimples, but i still got breakouts.

Cons:

it doesnt work as well if you don't use it twice a day, everyday. it's kind of expensive and you have to have it automatically withdrawn from your account, which i often forgot about. plus, it bleached the tops of my eyebrows orange!

it seems to work really great for a few people, and adequately for others. i'd recommend just trying to buy something from the stores. its much less hassle with basically the same results.

Pros:

It cleared up a little. It never made me break out more. Dosent really sting.

Cons:

It dried my face out i didnt really like the smell. I mean it wasnt horrible. The face mask didnt work for me and the green tea moisturizer stung and made my face red...not to mention it dried my face out more. It cleared my skin up sorta.

If it works for you USE IT. But it didn't work that great for me. It made my skin look better than it did before but i still had large pores and little pimples and little red bumps on my cheeks. And when i used it on my body it made the acne red and splotchy. Plus when i used it sometimes my face would be red for a day. I dont know why. It also made any make-up i wore look crappy. I dont have bad acne so i dont know why it didnt work. But everyone has differant skin...

Pros:

It cleans your skin really, really good. It cleans it too good.

Cons:

It really, really dried my skin out and makes it itch and peel especially around my mouth. It burns really, really bad when you apply it to your face. Almost unbearable burning sensation

I have paid much more and much less for better products at Avon and Clinque. I do not like the way it dries your skin out so badly. My skin looked and felt much better before I ever started using this stuff. I do not like the auto ship and pay every 60 days. I am cancelling and trying to send what I have back. It is not worth it at all. I am very dissappointed with Proactiv.

Pros:

Micro beads in cleanser leave you feeling like you got a nice clean face. Toner removes anything you might have missed. Lotion leaves your face feeling fresh.

Cons:

Toner and lotion can sting at times for a few minutes before subsiding. Leaves skin dry and flaky. Did not remove acne.

I suppose individuals with light acne might benefit from proactiv, but this product did not give me results worthy of $60. I tried this system for months and it didnt do anything significant. I RECOMMEND ONLY FOR LIGHT ACNE PRONE SKIN
