January 22, 2007

Pros:

Excellent 3 step system, has definatly made my skin look better, reduced redness and fewer pimples that wouldn't go until proactiv

Cons:

the first few weeks of using it, it does bring out the underlining spots and brings them to the surface, but thats the only way to achieve clear, healthy skin

use twice a day once in morning and again before bed, stay consistent with it and you will achieve clear skin

Pros:

works after a couple months

Cons:

makes acne worse the first couple weeks

what the proactiv does is brings the acne under your skin to the surface. then, after probably the first month, it heals it. you cant judge it if youve only used it for a couple weeks or a month. give it at least 6 weeks

Pros:

THIS IS THE ONLY PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED INCLUDING THE VERY DANGEROUS ACCUTAINE THAT HAS EVER WORKED FOR MY ACNE.

Cons:

THE BENZOYL PEROXIDE IS NOT GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN. BUT EITHER ARE ACNE BREAKOUTS

THANK GOODNESS FOR THIS PRODUCT!

None.

Recommended.

Pros:

I saw immediate results after I started to use it. My face was so covered with blemishes that by the second day, they started to disappear.

Cons:

Nothing to report at this time

This stuff is worth it if you have acne that you just can't get rid of on your own. Totally recommended and I ensure that it will work.

Pros:

cleared my skin up. Toner is refreshing.

Cons:

some areas peel (nose, t-zone)

first thing that has worked for me. i now get complimented on my skin, it feels great. i do not use the moisturizer every day though, nor do i use the mask. Just have to find a routine that works for you. I look forward to washing my face twice a day because it makes me skin feel so soft. Also took a little while to work. Id say I didnt have really good until about two months of usage, so dont give up on it right away if you dont see results.

Pros:

It works. Cleared up my acne almost immediately.

Cons:

It is expensive. And can be a hassle to buy, as it's not available at drugstores.

I really do swear by this stuff. I admit, I am not always consistent with the "program," but it still works for me!! And, if you have spots/scars from old pimples, try the skin lightening lotion. After using it for a just a couple weeks, I can almost go with no makeup, my skin tone is so even.

Pros:

uhhhhh..

Cons:

uhhhhhh

so my roomate has no problems with acne but he got one pimple and went to the mall and bought an $80 dollar 6 piece kit of pro active. Im 18 and have not had problems with acne before but for about 4 months it was horrible. so i was like, yoooooo aaron ill let you use my sunglasses if i can use your pro active. i figured it would work since they had commercials about it every 2 seconds. so i started using it and now i am seeing positive resulst fosho. im not having any problems with dryed skin. if you buy pro active you need to make sure to get the kit that comes with the moisturizors because if your skin is too dry, your pores create excess oil to make up more it. we all know that the main cause of acne is oil so overdrying your face is the last thing you want to do. i relize i have mis spelled a few words here, but its ok. so proactive does work as long as you keep yo gangsta face mostorized!!! WHOOO YEahhh go pro active. acne sucks and i know this. i had no life when i had it.

Pros:

Gets rid of the zits you have and then keeps new ones from forming.

Cons:

Does at first cause a little skin irritation but it tells all about how to address those specific issues in the brochure they send with the product for those of you who didn't read.

This sh*t works. It says that it works for most people. I guess the most people it worked for are out having a good time without their zits to post on here.
