Pros:

clears up existing acne, reduces oil, prevents acne, clears up existing acne scars, acne goes away faster

Cons:

dries out skin, makes skin flaky if moisturizer is not used, can't buy in stores, not enough product provided

I used to get hormonal break outs and some cystic acne that would last a couple weeks and leave scars. Now, I only get the occasional pimple which clears up with in a week. My existing acne scars are fading. My face isn't as oily as it used to be. The only bad aspect is that it dries out my skin and leaves it flaky if I don't moisturize. Also, the kit ships every other month and I usually use up all of the face scrub a few weeks before the replenishment is sent to me. Other than that, Proactive is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone looking for ways to help clear and prevent acne break outs.

Pros:

-my face is not as red
-when i do get the ocasional pimple it is gone sooner
-hardly ever break out any more

Cons:

-can overdry if you forget to moisturise, but if you moisturise there is no problem

Being 13 I am very self concious of my aperance. Since commencing the use of proactive I feel that my confidence has returned. I am so glad that I tried it, it has dramatically improved my mild acne. I noticed a HUGE improvement even after 1 week of usage. The refining mask is great! I HIGHLY RECCOMENT THEE USE OF PROACTIVE.

Pros:

Nice, easy daily regiment. Seems to be working.

Cons:

Reorder process. I do not like the fact that I have to sign up for automatic shipments to get a good price.

My tween daughter has acne. I never had acne so had no idea what to do. We tried all the soaps, etc. in the stores for oily, acne skin and finally tried Proactiv last month. I is working pretty well for her. Now it is time to reorder but I do not want to commit to getting the shipments automaticly. What's a Mom to do?

Pros:

Clears up acne

Cons:

Time consuming

During the past 4 years, I've been to 3 dermatologist and Proactiv beats all the products they gave me. When used CONSISTENTLY, the system keeps my face clear of acne and has improved the texture of my skin that was damaged by acne scars.

Pros:

Very affordable. Really worked for myself as well as my daughter. The important thing is to take the time to do all three steps. I keep 1 in the shower and I use it on my chest and back too.

Cons:

How often it is sent. I call and put the order on hold until I use everything up, or I call and just get a box of step one to even out all my unused step 2 and 3, you use alot more of step one then 2, and 3.

Would highly reccommed it to anyone with moderate acne. There is a comparable product at Walmart, Acne free and that works pretty good but is still not as good as the pro active.

Pros:

product works well. i dont really have acne, just dry skin. for those of you who have redness or iritation ask for the gental formula kit. I LOVE IT.

Cons:

i worked for proactiv a long time ago. i dont necessarily agree with some of the policies. some of the csr's are nasty, but some of the customers treat them like crap, just for doing their job. i know people dont want to listen to a million options

you have other than to cancel the accoutn, but listen up ITS THEIR JOB. they dont call you up and scream at you for doing ur job so you shouldn't do it either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

I don't break out nearly as much as I was.

Cons:

Doesn't really help the deep down acne.

I like the product and it has cleared up my skin quiet a bit. I'm just waiting for some of the red/brown marks from past breakouts to fade.

Pros:

Your face will glow. It will be incredibly smooth and beautifully toned. I love this stuff.

Cons:

Maybe just a bit expensive and you may have dry skin. (they suggest using it less frequently if so). For some people, they may feel like they have sensitive skin to the touch.

Some people, unfortunately have had some bad luck with this product.A lot of it has to do with your skin type. Some people may not get good reactions to is while others will. Sometimes you need to give it time to see it work. A few weeks isn't enough. I understand the frustrations though. Just do the 60 day trial first. I think if it hasn't satisfied you by the end of that, then you have your answer. This way, you can get your money back . I don't suggest buying the expensive stuff until you know it will work for you first. I have very sensitive skin and Proactiv actually has worked well for me. I would like to recommend it but not everyone can get the results they really want. Few do. It's all in your skin type. :)

Pros:

-Cleared my pimples.
-Mild "baby powder" fragrance

Cons:

-Expensive
-May be irritating for some people.

Proactiv is currently working wonders on my skin. I've been using the 3 step system over a month and I currently do not have a single pimple on my face. I can't remember the last time that I can say that. Proactiv might not work for every one's skin. I'm fortunate enough to have resilient skin that isn't allergic of affected by the dryness of benzoyl peroxide. Having said that, Proactiv could be irritating for some people.
