Pros:

Proactiv works on minor acne but is not the cure. I like their makeup products too but not the packaging anymore.

Cons:

Proactiv recently changed their packaging on their foundation & powder. It is horrible. The sponge is too thin & falls apart. The compact is now too thin with less makeup & the sponge doesn't fit. You can't even buy the foundation separate anymor

It is better than some products out there. It works for some but not all. It is expensive. I have recently been very unhappy with how they are changing the packaging of some of their products to save cost for themselves but not customer.

Pros:

Works for the first time and clears up mild acne.

Cons:

My skin eventually became resistant to the benoxyl peroxide and healing time increased.
I have extremely oily skin and this dried out my skin (which was good) BUT it ended up making my skin produce more oil.

Alright for the first few weeks then it got too dry and stopped working. Did not work for my Asian oily skin.

Pros:

ive been using it for over a month and the texture of my skin has improved but a couple of white heads have broken into pimples.

Cons:

do remember to wash your hands with soap after applying it or you will end up bleaching your towel and also wait for it to dry up before going to bed

has worked for me but dont know how long to use it.its too expensive for regular use.

Expensive

I used ProActiv for 6 months when I was 18 and had no results with moderate acne. I tried ProActiv again when I was 23 and just had occasional breakouts and still had no results. This product is not worth the price. I have been using tee tree oil and it is working great. Do not waste your money.

Pros:

The toner kind of stings when you put it on (I sort of like that because it makes me think it's working)----The bottles are all different so when I have my glasses off I know which is which.

Cons:

The gritty stuff in the cleanser feels out of place and I didn't feel like it was cleaning my skin deep down--the toner has a very harsh smell---the lotion makes your face feel very greasy and it's like it doesn't soak in right away.

I hated the stuff!! I used it for about 2 years and when I started I had very light acne (I think I was about 12 becuase my mom uses the stuff and thought I did too). I NEVER had anywhere near clear skin!!! Even when you do use it religiously, you are still never clear (my mom's been using it religiously for about 6 years and still has acne). I tried using it twice a day and it would dry out my skin soo bad I would be peeling! And since I didn't use twice a day i would get horrible breakouts! Damned if you, Damned if you don't!
