Pros:

-Makes your face feel clean,
-You can see the toner removing dirt,
-Affordable

Cons:

The mask doesnt actually work over night like it claims

Ive only been using it for about a week, i feel a difference in my face, there are still a few spots here and there but im pleased with the results so far. i know alot of people say it didnt work for them but everyones skin is different and reacts differently to different ingredients. so i wouldnt say 'it doesnt work' because you really dont know until you try.

Pros:

It smelled good and it was cheap.

Cons:

didnt work. i only used it for a couple of days n my skin was already drying up.It dried up so much i coudnt even move my face.and i only used it once a daywhich is less than required.

Bottom line my skin got so bad that i looked like an old lady and im a teen. I was so angry i cried so what i did was call, cancel my account and return the product for a refund. They also made me mad because they told me that what had happened was because my skin was sensitive.nonsense.the product doesnt work!

Pros:

It slightly cleared my acne but it never got completely rid of it. The toner made it seem like it really was working because of the dirt on the cotton ball.

Cons:

It irritated my skin and caused my face to get really red. It caused new zits to form and didn't get rid of some stubborn ones.

It did clear up for my skin, but that was short lived. I noticed zits popping up and before long, I was breaking out. Maybe it just doesn't work for me, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Pros:

the price is good and it's advertised by celebrities

Cons:

dries and burns your skin the refining mask takes 2 weeks to shrink one pimple and it leaves your skin looking red and oily

proactive doesn't work at all. Don't waste your money on this terrible product. The refinig mask did the exact opposite of what was promised and instead of me waking up to see my pimples smaller if not gone I woke up to see them red and pretty much worse than before. The renewing cleanser made my skin peel and the repairing toner made my skin greasy. Once again don't waste your money on proactive because even though many celebrities CLAIM that it worked wonders on their skin they're all getting paid to say that.

Pros:

This product gets shipped right to you, you don't have to go out and buy it whenever you run out and it is unscented.

Cons:

It makes acne worse, there are 3 steps, you have to use the first step for 1-2 minutes, it makes skin oily, and it is expensive.

This product doesn't work and it is too expensive and you have to pay $40 every two months. It makes acne worse and it doesn't help at all. I hated this product. It is too much of a hassle to do all three steps twice a day. It also mad my face feel oily.

Pros:

well it kept new zits from appearing fro the first few weeks but the old ones stayed. my skin was very smooth though and no longer shiney. i used the reg formula but switching to extra strength.

Cons:

the system is too much to do every dy twice a day, didnt clear deep blemishes or black head even after two months. not enough in each bottle, u have to use like a little drop when u need more, a lot more

it did improve my skin but not up to expectations. but ill see how the ES works. so basically it did help a lot and im pretty happy with it, better than anyhting i've ever used.

Pros:

Im a darker skinned individual, so i can use this proactiv 2-3 times a day, and thats the only way it works, if you use it at least twice a day, every day, if you go more than a day without using it you break out.

Cons:

It contanis a mild bleach, so it may be harder on your skin if you're a pale skinned individual. and it will take the color out of clothes, and bleach your hair ( even facial hair).

I like it and would recommend it. but I'm sure there's a better way to get rid of your acne.

Pros:

it worked well when it actually worked

Cons:

too high-maintenance and time-consuming, way too expensive for the quality of the product

i used this regimen for about 2 years. it took about a month to see any results and then i was relatively clear for a while. after about a year and a half it just stopped working and i got annoyed. who wants to pay that much when it no longer works?

Pros:

Gets rid of most acne and redness, skin looks even and has a smoother texture.

Cons:

Left my face very dry for the first few weeks, the bottles break easily. You have to avoid sunlight/ultraviolet exposure & therefore must also use a sunscreen.

Proactiv has worked well for me, although I can only use it once a day because it really dries out my face because of this I have to use a moisturiser after the repairing lotion. You may need to adjust the amount you use, and build up your usage slowly to avoid peeling/redness.
