Pros:

seems to work

Cons:

small bottles, expensive products!

Ok so I bought the 3 steps today. I used everything on the planet, including Accutane which was hard because of the side effects. I was until this morning using the 3 step from Clinique and I didn't feel the mousse cleanser actually cleaned and the moisturizer didnt moisturize either. But remember acne has a lot of origins, my dad is over 5O and has had acne for 35years! And I don't understand people that use it for 7days and say it doesn't work! people give time to time! i mean it's like a diet: do you really think you can lose 4pounds in 7days? its the same for new products you use! your skin just has to get used to react in a positive way. and there also are a lot of circumstances that can get to breakouts: stress,humidity,bad and fat food..Same for people that use it from time to time or complain it takes too much time! how do you expect the products to work if you only do half of the required steps?! Proactiv works but it's not magical: you gotta work on it to!

Pros:

It made my skin feel smooth and didn't dry me out.

Cons:

DIDNT WORK! WASTE OF MONEY! made acne worse

k heres the bottom line people...proactiv doesn't work. i used to be one of you. looking up reviews to see if proaciv. i wish i would have listened to these people.it was a waste money. The only good thing about it was the toner which takes dirt off your face. like dirt i didn't even know was there. I used this for about a year and the first month i cleared up then i stayed about the same. when i decided to see what would happen it got WORSE! the commercials promised me the world and i was let down. now i use the clean and clear 3 step kit and it is great! it cleared up my face in a day! I would recommend the clean and clear kit. trust me people would i lie to you! don't use proaciv

Pros:

It worked amazing for the first couple weeks. It completely cleared my skin.

Cons:

After a couple of weeks of clear skin, for some reason, i started breaking out again. It stopped working for me, so I stopped using it, and went to AcneFree which has been giving me good results.

It is a good product, but I don't think it is the right product for me. I would still recommend it though because it works for a lot of other people.

Pros:

It got rid of minor breakouts fast and healed zits faster than any other product I have tried it also left my skin feeling very smooth and it smelled great =D

Cons:

It gave me scars and if I ever touched a zit it turned bright red for about a day. I also found that it does not prevent breakouts.

It does work but not as well as the ads prove. I don't break out as much as I used to but if I ever miss a day my face looks terrible. However my aunt uses proactiv and her face is always perfectly clear, I think the results depend on the person. Also I think it gave me a lot of blackheads. But overall I DO think it's worth it.

Pros:

Makes your skin smooth right after you use it...

Cons:

After a while it's like your skin is immune to it and it stops working... I got more acne scars... I think my skin has gotten oiler since I've been using it... and step one irrates my skin after using it.

Overall, it's okay for a while then once your skin becomes "immune" to the acne treatment, it would either get better or get worse. And it still leaves your skin with tons of dirt after you use it. I'm just disappointed.

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:

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.
