Pros:

My face felt clean even though it didnt look it.

Cons:

I purchased the kit for oily skin there is too many steps and the end result was nothing my face stayed exactly the same.

I dont know what type of skin proactiv works for but its definately not oily skin. I believe the people proactiv works for are also using some type of oral medication.

Pros:

Cleared my skin right away within the first week. My face was much smooter.

Cons:

After a year of using this system, my acne got a lot worse. My face became itchy, red, and irritated!

This product might work for some, but with my five year experience it's not worth it. I'm 30 years old and all of a sudden I have a face like a preteen!!!!!!!!

Pros:

Clears Skin

Cons:

PLENTY If any other company sold a product that worked for me I'd switch in a heartbeat. I feel like I joined a cult because you have to sign up for a stupid "club" just to buy acne cream...what if every product made you do that..cereal? gas?

Customer service is wretched. I had too much (they send it automatically every once in a while) so I cancelled my acount and they sent it to me anyway- 3 times in a row. The third time, I said if they wanted it back, they'd have to send shipping-so then they sent me a collections notice. I swear, if it had hurt my credit, I'd sue for punitive damages.

Pros:

I can't say I have found any pros to this product. It's not the cure all I saw on the television and I have been using it consistently.

Cons:

expensive for the average kid. Doesn't work.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I'm very disappointed and plan to look for a new product.

Pros:

it worked for a little while....

Cons:

dryed out my skin, became immune to the solution, and skin became oily, I actually got more acne

Try acnefree solutions, they really work....i started to see improvements in 4 days...no joke. and it doesnt overdry your skin, i love it.
