Pros:

None. Well they have a money back guarantee which is nice.

Cons:

Made my skin worse! It made me red. People asked if I had poison oak!

It was one of the worse products I've ever used. Everybody is different, some products work great for others. Trial and error people.

Pros:

None

Cons:

It doesn't work! It works for the people out there that get 1 pimple a month or 1 bad break out a year... but for the rest of us who are constantly breaking out due to hormones and everything else this ish doesn't work!

Save your money and go to a dermatologist.

Pros:

Nothing. It did have some effect the 1st week i used it.

Cons:

Made my Acne even more WORSE

NOT RECOMMENDED. The ads will force you to buy it and might show some difference in the 1st week. But if you stop even for a day u can see the difference. Even after two months of patient usage, i can only see it getting worse for me.

Pros:

toner smells good...

sulfer mask seems to work a little

Cons:

everything else!!

it dried out my skin really bad... especially around the "T-zone" and under my eyes.. felt like i had alligator skin or something

i used it for about a year... my skin got better at first, but towards the end it just made it worse for some reason! and the kit was leaving my face REALLY oily and felt like the stuff didnt even sink into my face... dont waste your money,those damn infomercials trick you, did u notice that jessica simpsons already HAD nice skin?? so why the hell would she need proactive?!

Pros:

Smelled okay.

Cons:

Stained a bunch of my bathroom towels, pillowcases, and pajamas. Was not convenient to put on during the day because it would cause my skin to look oily or greasy. Too many steps to keep up with on a daily basis, the routine just got old fast.

For some people I guess this product works miracles, but for me, it peaked the first few days then completely flatlined and stopped providing any cure after that. I don't even have severe acne, just a mild case of teenage blemishes! I expected much more because of all its hype but it wasn't worth the time or the money.

Pros:

The clear part of my skin is smooth. It has evened out my tone.

Cons:

IT STOPPED WORKING! Now I am worse than when I started. My face is dry and it feels tight. I have wrinkles too.

it has stopped working and my acne is worse than ever! I have huge, painful breakouts that leave huge scars in my face. I have used this product religiously and it recently is not working for me anymore.

Pros:

When it first came out and I tried it it seemed to work but it was too harsh for my face so I stopped. Then about 2 months later I re ordered and it seemed as if it was watered down cuz it didn't work at all for me. It was pretty much like a facewash

Cons:

THe mask does not do anything for me. It doesn't reduce my zit when I put it on the night before. It just looks even bigger in the morning and more defined..lol.. yuck. THey do send you refills even when you haven't finished with your first batch

TO each it's own but it didn't really work for me.
