Pros:

It is a great face wash and mask. When I first started using it, it felt really great.

Cons:

It's a little abrasive. It stopped working after a few months. Never cleared up my acne really. There are way too many products to apply. You end up with layers of medication on your face, and that's exactly what it feels like. Dried out skin.

Just like a lot of products. Great at first, but then it stops working. Too complicated. Too expensive. If you try to cancel the ladies on the phone just tell you that you were using the wrong amount or to use cotton pads as opposed to balls. That's just stupid.

Pros:

Good ad with ammazing product

Cons:

Jassica simpson endorsement on product. second is very pricey

I m 100% satisfy with proactive. Key point is wait and see. ( believe me , acne completes its cycle once its on ur skin , it doesn't require any treatment)

Pros:

Works really well, does wonders to my skin

Cons:

Not all of the zits are gone, some dryness of the skin. Expensive!!

So far, this is the best medication I have found that actually works, although it is pretty expensive. I work in a a grease filled environment and it keeps my skin clear compared to before I started using this treatment.

Pros:

Face mask worked rather well, tightened my face and was the only part that actually cleared zits.

Cons:

None of the rest worked. NOT AT ALL. and I didn't even have considerably bad acne.

I wouldn't reccomend it to those who search constantly for one to work.

Pros:

I ran out of the scrub, but bought one from the store and continute to use them, repairing lotion as spot treatment. I love it. The scrub I bought was horrible, and the moisturizer that came with it didn't work, but Proactive always works!

Cons:

It will make me temporarily red in areas (the repairing lotion) but I believe it is just because it has so much Benzoyl Peroxide.

I love this stuff. I make sure to get the mosturizer instead of the oil control, even though I have oily patches in places becuase it does tend to dry out areas without. The product MUST be used consistently in order to produce good results. Even though I'm not currently using the scrub, I use the other brand consistently and it always works. Only occasional pimples occur when the time of the month comes!!

Pros:

Works well if you USE AS DIRECTED.Its been 5-6 months using Proactiv and I am starting to see a big change from what my face used to look like (face was COVERED with VERY INFLAMED acne). Now my face is calm and clearing up.

Cons:

A few pimples come when using Proactiv but they disapear within a week or two. My chin area is BROWN, I don't know if this is a side effect from using Proactiv or I don't know!. My pillows are turning yellow from the B.P.

Great product from people who are patient and can wait a while for their skin to start clearing up. Only for the strong people who can stand washing their face gently for 1-2 minutes (works best for me). Bottom line is buy it at your own risk because it dosnt work for everyone (the 15% of people), and hopefully you'll end up in the 85% of people who got clear with this product!

I'm VERY SATISFIED with ProActiv...but you have to figure out what works for you. The repairing lotion is strong, and dries you out....I only use it at night time to fight pimples then. AND....You have to use an oil free moisturizer too, so you don't dry out. If you are not consistent, then the product cannot work. Also, any makeup that you wear needs to also be oil free and non-comodogenic. Its a great product...but you have to figure out what works for you. If your still breaking out...make sure your cleansing and toning, and using the repair lotion. If your drying out...use less repair lotion (and the oil free moisturizer) You can't give up on it...you have to find what works for your skin.

Pros:

It cleared up my skin after a few weeks, you just have to be patient! The refining mask really worked nicely...I would wear it while I'm showering or watching television. My cheeks were also very soft while I used Proactiv!

Cons:

It caused my skin to flake when I started, but it was only for a few days. I added a separate brand of moisturizing lotion to help.

It works if you're patient. It's not a miracle package, but it does work.

Pros:

Clears the skin, no dryness.

Cons:

Time consuming, can be pricey, can't buy in stores.

I tried Proactiv 9 years ago after having my first child. I had a very bad reaction. I broke out and my face turned red. Well, 9 years later, I still have mild acne. So, I tried it again. It has consistently kept my skin clear. My skin is not dry at all, (I use their moisturizers,- great products!). If I do get a blemish, its gone within a few days without a mark left behind. All of my post acne marks have faded. I love Proactiv!
