Pros:

None.

Cons:

The lotion dried up my skin. Really bad. I have seen no difference as far as it preventing the breakouts. Especially before my period.

I will not waste my money on this anymore. It says immedeate results during their infomercial, I didn't expect them to be too fast, but I did expect some results eventually. So far nothing. And if I keep using it I will most likely keep waiting... But like expected this medication reacts unique to each individual.

Pros:

i honestly don't have anything good to say about it. i used it for a month straight and didn't see a bit of difference after using it like i was supposed to for a whole month

Cons:

the green tea moisturizer burned my skin so bad that it took a few days before the redness was gone. they seem to really stress that proactive doesn't dry out your skin at all, but mine started to peel after about a week and a half.

proactive is a waste of money. their commercials are made to psychologically trick you into thinking that their products are made for "every person, every skin type" but no one's skin is the same. i always wonder how much they end up paying celebrities to say that they use proactive?

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Commercials trick you. The system does not work. Helps a bit at first than fades; never truly cleared my skin. Used it for 3 months.

do not be tricked

Pros:

helps u stick to a skin care routine.

Cons:

does not work. too expensive.

It works in the beginning, but later on stops working, and makes ur face red and dry. And not to mention the price; its not worth the money!

Pros:

Smells good

Cons:

Doesn't work, clogs pores, makes skin more oily, if anything makes acne WORSE, the people on tv lied!!

I've tried this thing a couple times, on and off, and nothing happened. I might have had a good day or two, but it's a HUGE waste of time and money. The people on the ads are really annoying and they have probably never even touched proactiv.

Pros:

The price.

Cons:

I hated the smell, and it made my skin break out.

I was disappointed with it. It is affordable, but it made my skin break out, and I could not stand the smell. The toner stung my face, and the refining mask did nothing. If you only have mild acne, buy a tube of toothpaste. It does the same job.For more severe acne, see a Dermatologist. This is not a quick fix by any means!

Pros:

It is easy to use. Evened my skin tone.

Cons:

It made my skin even more oily, than it was before. Plus it dident get rid of the spots i have had for a long time.

I expected this to work really well for me because I have had acne since the 5th grade. But it has not helped at all.

Pros:

i will admit the first two weeks it seemed to be working great, i used it for a long time, im so stupid its because this product makes ur face feel nice and like its improving in the beginning

Cons:

its so expensive! after my 1 order, i ordered it again in hopes of achieving the same results as the first 2 weeks and my skin starting to back to before with acne. i stopped using it after this time and BAM I HAD SO MUCH ACNE WORSE THAN BEFore

your acne will become GROSS after if you stoppped, after i stopped i went to buy proactiv yet again to see if it can go back b/c it was so gross... acne with vengence and it didnt work at all any more i even asked the proactiv cart lady and she said maybe ur skin got too used to it?!? thats retarded so i just quit all together and my acne eventually calmed down, it was the worst decision of my life! proactiv is such a lie and horrrrribbblllleeee long run results, i probably spent close to 200$ and got no where with my acne... i regret it!

Pros:

It smoothes out bumpy skin, eventually it becomes very smooth and soft. Tingly and 'fresh' feeling.

Cons:

SO expensive, also seems to take an incredibly long time to get rid of red marks - I can't actually tell if it helps with this at all. Also causes dryness and doesn't prevent outbreaks.

I've been using this product for a pretty long time. It's become something I feel quite dependent on, as its the first proper skin product I've invested in and I really wanted it to work, also my skin tone is better than it was before I started using it, so I'm kind of afraid to stop! However, I've come to realise it will never rid me of acne, at best it'll just keep my skin smooth (looks ok with a lot of make up basically). It's way too expensive to carry on using when it's not solving the problem entirely so I'm finally going to end my subscription! To be honest it's a mediocre product with fancy adverts and reputation.
