Pros:

Cleans dirt off your face

Cons:

Costs a lot, doesn't remove acne, dries out skin too much for 15mins after use, then leaves skin crying like a battered rape victim.

No good, no good at all for acne. Go see a Dermatologist.

Pros:

The chick that sold em to me was hot?

Cons:

Crap stuff. For starters every step of this "solution" can be bought individually at the pharmacist at a much cheaper price. Two, did not work and made everything worse. Skin peeling / red sore raw skin / more lesions.

Sh*thouseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Pros:

Evens out skin complexion, gets rid of a bit of acne

Cons:

Skin becomes immune to it. Once you stop using it for a day, you break out ! / dries out & irrate skin

If you have sensitive skin, don't try ! They are better products out there.

Pros:

I'm black so it evened out my skin tone and i went out a few times without make up.

Cons:

Just got more and even bigger breakouts. When i stopped using it for at least three days i had no breakouts. I am now using PanOxyl 10 n even though my skin is peeling all the spots on my forehead have disappeared in less than two weeks of using PanO

Obviously doesn't work for everybody.If u get breakouts from Proactive u might have a negative reaction to Salicyclic acid.

Pros:

None that I can think of...

Cons:

Made face really dry and extremely red!!! not to mention the $50.00 price tag

I've tried this product twice. The first time I took it, I was on it for about a month and a half and saw NO results. I went along with other over-the-products for awhile and decided to try proactiv again to see if this time it would work(i was thinking i wasnt doing it properlly). So the SECOND time i took it, I closely followed instructions and even tried to eat right and stupid stuff like that and PROACTIV still didnt give me my money's worth. This product is a JOKE! When companies hire celebrities to be their voice, it's usually not a good sign, you know?

Pros:

The cleanser is somewhat refreshing, and the toner gives you the the feeling that your face is healthy, and clean. And it temporarly stops the irritating feeling pimples sometimes get ( and sometimes relieves puffiness and redness)

Cons:

The cleanser smells unique (not in a good way). And the toner stings, and itchs like crazy, and to top it off the lotion drys your skin out massivly, and sometimes your face gets really, really flakey (I'm not kidding)

When I got this in the mail, I was so excited. A new cleanser, a new toner, and a new lotion. The same day it arrived I tried it for the first time. The cleanser was refreshing, but the feel of my skin felt somewhat uneven, and sometimes even rough. I then applied the cleanser, and had an instant dryness feel. My skin felt like it was going to tear, or fall off. Next I applied the lotion, it didn't help. It felt cakey, and just increased the dryness. Being reasonable I figured my skin was getting used to it. Fast forward to two weeks, my skin was flaking,and had ashy lines, and skin flakes falling off. Then I ran into my bathroom, put the set back in it's box, and through it away. What's the point of this story, STAY AWAY FROM PROACTIV, IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE, AND YOUR SKIN.

Pros:

Um....

Cons:

Made my face incredibly oily with the worst breakouts I have had in years.

I have mild acne with occasions bad break outs. Unlike many people, I found that the repairing lotion made my skin very oily. I can't remember the last time my skin felt this bad. Of course, when trying to cancel my account, the rep treated me to a lecture about how I need to wait for it to work because of my "cycle of acne". Isn't the whole point to break the cycle???
