Pros:

It clears up everything relatively fast; my skin is softer and smoother; it really is a confidence booster, even if you've only used it for one day

Cons:

none that I've experienced

The basic set is nice but you should really consider getting the wash, toner, lotion plus the oil-free moisturizer and (if you have oily skin) the daily oil control, not to forget the refining mask which you should only really use for spot treatment. Tip: use only ONCE a day for the first week and then use it twice and don't just stop using it. Eventually, when your face is clear, you can go back to using it once a day or even once every other day.

Pros:

Within days, I noticed a huge difference. It even got rid of the blackheads on my nose that most acne meds miss.

Cons:

It does dry out the face.

Well it dries the face so you have to spend more $$ just to get the special facial lotion. How many steps do you really have to follow and at what cost?

Pros:

Consistent results, leaves skin feeling smooth, doesn't dry my skin.

Cons:

Takes your skin a while to adjust when you first begin using the product. You have to give it a fair chance and use diligently.

I started using Proactiv over a year ago. As recommended by the manufacturer I started by using it only once a day to acclimate my skin to it and prevent over drying. After a few weeks I went up to twice a day. It took a few weeks for my skin to adjust to the product but now I love it and wouldn't go without it. In my opinion the majority of the negative reviews are probably from people who started using it too often, or didn't use it long enough to give it a chance.

Pros:

I had 'adult' acne and this has helped. Easy to use, can have frequency of delivery extended to reduce cost (do need to use sparingly then).

Cons:

The price but overall when I come the amount I paid on other facial products and prescription medicine it is comparable.

I have used this for several years and it has consistantly helped when other products have not. I get compliments on my complextion.

Pros:

when i wash my face at night and have a few blemishes, when i wake up the next morning they have already began to diasappear.

Cons:

Dried my skin at first but not as bad anymore. if i stop using it for a few days i begin to breakout.have to use other Proactive products in order to see better results and those products can be pricey.

people get frustrated after the first few weeks, it took me about 4-6 weeks to see results and yes i did break out but it was only because it was "disinfecting" my skin. it takes a blemish about 6 weeks to breakout from underneath the skin. But after those 6 weeks i saw awesome results and loved it.It is also very important to use twice a day!

Pros:

Absolutely works as promised. I'll never be without it! Cleared my skin in just a few days.

Cons:

Is drying. Try my suggestions below. They also carry a milder version. Check out the website.

A never had acne until I hit 35 - got the dreaded adult onset kind. Suffered for 5 years, then wised up and ordered Proactiv. Works great! Is very drying as others have stated, so I use the three steps at night only followed by a good non-comedogenic night cream (Olay works great), and wash thoroughly with water only (no cleanser or toner) in the morning and follow with the repairing lotion and a good non-comedogenic day cream w/SPF 15 (very important!). Would absolutely recommend. Saved my complexion from those nasty zits!
