Pros:

Smell, no burning, leaves face felling fresh and clean, the refining masks works really well. Nothing burns, All of the products fell light on your skin.

Cons:

May take awhile, but is worth it.

Proavtiv is a great kit for anybody to try i am 14 and started it a few months ago, although it is not fully cleared up there is a huge improvement in the condition of my skin and people really do notice it. It is clearer, smoother and looks way healthier. Most people complain about stinging, but there isnt any tinging at all. It feel so healthy on your skin. Anybody should try it. It REALLY works and most people whp it doesnt dont try it for long enough or dont use it right. It truly is a miracle and i am very thankful for it.

Pros:

easy to use, can have it come once a month or buy it in the stors. can be used with other topical medications. has a mask which works great as an overnight spot treatment. not to harsh on skin

Cons:

can bleach clothes, skin and hair. nearly all acne solutions can, including the regim. its the benzol peroxide it bleach a few hairs right at my hair line looked kinda funny but is easly avoidable. it doesnt necesarly bleach skin it just lightens.

For simplicity and one kit does it for you it is excellent. The benzol peroxide is kinda a pain at the begining but once you get use to using it you will no longer get it on clothes towels and in your hair lol. For first time users it generaly dries out the skin fairly fast but your skin will toughen up after about a week to a week and a half. The mask is a mirracle worker for big pimples. Also one thing that i have noticed which applies for most face products is after you wash your face do not wait that long before you apply the repairing lotion or BP. When you wait your skin dries out and your body will naturally produce more oil on your face to make sure it doesnt dry out more. this is what you do not want to happen so dont wait to long. i think that it is a great product to use for facial acne or just keeping your face clear.

Pros:

You only need a small amount so lasts for ages
Worked immediately

Cons:

Packaging
They send it out to you automatically every few months whether you have run out or not.

BUY IT!!!!!!! Seriously. Even if its only once. £50 might seem a lot but thats only because your paying it all in one go, in the first shipment you receive cleanser, toner, 2 moisturisers, 2 minature moisturisers and a face mask... in the shops you would spend more than that on high street products! For those who say it dries out their skin then they are using too much. I use about a 5p size of the cleanser and moisturiser because thats all you need. As a sufferer of severe acne, with red raw cyst like skin, very noticable and very painful, i tried everything, named brands, prescription creams, anitbiotics and even changed my pill to one especially for acne. Then I tried proactiv. In the space of one month I can honestly say I no lnger have acne. I dont have a single spot. My skin is no longer bumpy and hideous, it is completely smooth and people have even complimented me on my clear skin (I do have scars but they are fading too) PLEASE TRY PROACTIV!!!!!

Pros:

Clears up acne fast, leaves face feeling fresh and clean

Cons:

none!

You have to use Proactiv twice a day every single day or you're not going to get any results. If you have stubborn acne like i did you should switch to the extra strength. if you're experiencing dry skin you need to use a little bit more of the 3rd step, or buy one of their moisturizers. The bottles all say that it takes up to 6 months to achieve full results, and they never said that a pimple or two won't pop up once in a while. a dab of the refining mask is great for getting rid of pimples over night! I LOVE THIS STUFF! I once felt very ugly and now i feel and look gorgeous. my face is smooth, and for the first time in my life i have natural, rosy cheeks. THANKS PROACTIV!

Pros:

Smell is fine. Left my skin super smooth and moisturized. No burning, flaking, or itching whatsoever.

Cons:

None that i can think of.

I'm a 15 year old female. I've used Benzaclin before. It was only a one step kind of thing and it did make my skin dry. I tried Proactiv and right away my skin was smooth, clean, and moisturized. Everybody's skin is different and it'll effect everyones differently. For me I had zero burning, itching, or flaking. As I said before, I've used a similar product so that may be why I haven't experienced that with Proactiv. I only just started this, but so far it's amazing. My parents noticed a drastic difference in my skin in just a couple of days. I only have mild acne; I broke out on my chin and a little on the sides of my face. So far, for me, this product is amazing and I absolutely love it. Some say that it was horrible; they broke out more than they did before using it and they had unbearable burning. They may be allergic to it or they may have very sensative skin, both of which I do not have. You have to take everything into consideration. You won't know until you try. Give it a shot.

Pros:

I had moderate to sometimes severe acne and had tried EVERYTHING (Retin-A, OTC medications). I was skeptical but after being on it for 2 years now I have rarely had a pimple.I ran out last week and BAM - my face broke out.This is a wonderful product!

Cons:

None. Cost wise it stacks up to anything over the counter and is less expensive than dermatologist visits !

I went through medical school hearing about all different types of products. I honestly thought that Proactiv was a bit of a gimmick and did not believe that it would work. I suffered with huge pimples for years and would be embarrassed to sometimes even face clients. I had a friend that had tried it and told me it worked so I ordered it. Please believe me when I say this changed my life. I wake up every morning to clean, clear skin. I only occasionally get a small pimple here or there, nothing like what I was used to having. I waited too long to try this. It's not a gimmick, it truly, truly does work. If I see people battling with acne I try to tell them to use it. Maybe it doesn't work for everybody, but if you don't try how will you ever know ? It took less than 2-3 months to see a huge difference in my skin. Give it at least a month !!!!!! I get 3 bottles of the cleanser and each bottle lasts about a month. It's approx. $50, but compared to OTC meds this is worth it !

Pros:

um......it's nicely packaged

Cons:

Well seeing as how it's supposed to clear acne and it doesn't clear my moderate acne...i would have to say that that's the major con, and for the amount it cost it should work. it's not worth the money!

It doesn't work!

Pros:

The product does make your skin feel clean after doing all three steps

Cons:

It dries out your skin if you do it every day, and it does seem to stop working after awhile.

I havent used it for a couple weeks, and the problem pimples have gone away since i havent used it that long.

I DONT HAVE ACNE BUT I HAD A FEW PIMPLES ABOUT 5 ON MY CHEEK, I HAVE TRIED MANY PRODUCTS FROM DRUGSTORE PRODUCTS LIKE CLEAN AND CLEAR TO VERY EXPENSIVE PRODUCTS LIKE DERMALOGICA. PROACTIVE IS THE ONLY PRODUCT THAT ACTUALLY WORKED! =)
