Pros:

I know other people it worked very well for.

Cons:

It did not work for me or my sister. I used it for a while hoping the advertisements were true, but for me, they were not. I had to get presriptions from a dermatologist before I saw any improvement in my skin.

Did not work for me, and it was a huge waste of money.

Pros:

seems to help prevent small comodones and blackheada

Cons:

doesn't prevent large pustules and cystic acne

I never had a lot of small pimples but more of 4-5 giant ones at a time. I started proactiv and it seemed to help for about a month then i would get 3-4 giant zits instead of 3-4. Not worth the price.

Pros:

The toner always ,made my face feel fresh and clean! The mask also seemed to work very well.

Cons:

The product seemed to dry out my skin alot. The lotion did not help. My face was very itchy while i was using it.

This product seemed to work at first, however i never saw signifigant improvement. After about eight months of using this stuff it stopped working altogather and even seemed to make things worse!

Pros:

Nothing, I don't even like the smell.

Cons:

It made my skin itchy, dried it right out, and i broke out more.

Proavtic is glorified. They make it out to be so much more then it is. When in reality it is just junk.

Pros:

Repairs damaged skin

Cons:

Does not in any way prevent breakouts... The repairing lotion only made my acne worse so I actually stopped using that. PRICE

Give it a try but do not expect amazing results. It is an over priced and over hyped product. If you have very oily skin, I recommend using Clean%Clear Persa Gel instead of the proactiv's repairing lotion.

Pros:

it works well for me at first...my skin actually looks glowing.

Cons:

once you think its working its stops. i now have little pimples along the sides of forehead, cheeks, and forehead. everywhere, which btw i never broke out badly in those areas before. so i guess my skin became immune to this product.

i really it would work for me, cause i wasted so much money on it. do't know what i will use now. my skin feels very dry now, and its not even winter.

Pros:

it smells good but that's about it!

Cons:

it dried my face out terribly! I even used their moisturizer, but nothing worked! My acne wasn't severe, but now it has gotten worse!

Don't waste your money! The commercials look good but no results whatsoever! Complete sham!!!

Pros:

Works at first. Skin felt extremely soft and smooth after first use.

Cons:

Dried my skin terribly, so I switched to just using it once a day. Then I ran out of the lotion way before the other two bottles were empty. It did not clear my skin, and was very time consuming.

I tried it for a month, and I didn't see enough improvement to try it again. I'll try something else next time.
