Cons:

Cheap stuff will not cure urs acne, but making it worst

I been using this product for 1 1/2 year and this product does not clear any of my acne but it makes my skin dry, red, large pore and the worse part are scars due to harsh drugs. If you have acne and wondering wat option out there, talk to urs doctor about laser resurfacing Fraxel, Careful in choosing urs best acne treatment, if not , it will leave with scars and even more acne.

Pros:

Proactive solution (scrub, toner, lotion)smells good and feels good to touch. Not greasy, absorbs quickly.

Cons:

You are in big trouble if you have SENSITIVE skin or allergic to benzol peroxide, as I am. I tried to use it consistently, as advertized, but after about three days (twice a day use) my skin turned red, became irritated and started to breakout more.

I could never clear my face completly of zits or able to use Proactiv for an extended period of time.

Pros:

my skin improved for the first 3 days the balckheads on my nose were gone

Cons:

my skin got worse, I've got pimples on my face at places I never use to have acne (sides of the face and under my mouth) and it dries my skin

will NEVER EVER buy this product again, it's a scam, it cost me a lot and it doesn't work for me. products over the counter works way better

Pros:

I earlier had used Proactiv it was ok but nowhere to beat Derma Cleanse hormonal acne system which worked wonders for my acne and pimples.

Cons:

It's pricey and dries the skin like anything, makes you feel older than you actually are.

I heard alot about proactiv and had plans to use it for a long period, but the results after a month made me change my mind and switch over to derma cleanse acne system

Pros:

The repairing cream helps

Cons:

-It bleaches sheets and pillow cases and is an annoying thing to have to do every day twice a day
-costs A LOT to keep using it
-when you stop using it, acne returns

If I wanted to be chained to a face washing system for the rest of my life, I'd keep using it, but I don't. While using it for 4 years, my face was clear and smooth.. especially towards the end of that time, and when I used a good amount of repairing cream with the face wash-- the toner was too drying for me.. but those two worked great together. After I stopped using it my acne has returned... not as bad as it used to be, but it is still there.

Pros:

- exfoliated nicely

Cons:

- Dried out my skin
- created nasty shine spots
- acne did NOT go away

I bought proactiv thinking it would work for me like it did for all those people on the commercials... boy was I wrong. The last step in the system dried my sking SOOOO badly it was nuts. It would actually create shine spots on my skin where I put the product. My acne did not go away and I used it consistently for OVER a year. It's terrible, and I would not reccommend it.

Pros:

it didn't irritate my face

Cons:

didn't help at all. made my acne worse and made my face overly dry. when i called proactiv they told me that it makes your acne worse before it made it better, but i have used it for a year, and it hasn't gotten better.

waste of money, terrible product.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Horrible! Made my skin so red and itchy. When I slept with the refining mask on, i woke up and my face was on fire! I thought it was just my skin being sensitive to the product at first, but after 2 weeks, the results were the same.

Proactiv causes red, itchy, burning patches on your face. I did not have very much acne before, but I do now (and it is harder to get rid of than before!)

Pros:

Does not irritate my skin.

Cons:

Doesn't work! Texture is gritty.

Well I don't have the very pus-filled acne which is surface acne. I have the kind that is mostly under my skin and is hard to treat so this stuff DOESN'T WORK!!! If you're skin is tough like mine ask your doctor for a perscription.
