Pros:

Works well.
Originally used the product once/day because my skin is very sensitive. Now hardly use it at all and I've no more outbreaks!!

Cons:

The customer service folks are a bit pushy and (obviously) don't like the fact that I don't use as much of it as they can sell me. I've cut back on my order; but then I'm not using it much any more...much to their chagrin!

This has helped me immensely - my skin was always hideous and I'd little luck even with prescription treatments(metrogel). Using a gentle soap helps along with the proactive. It will be interesting to see how my skin acts over the winter (began using it this summer). My skin is extremely sensitive to heat/cold and changes in temperature/humidity. I'm old and am worried about my skin drying out and appropriate moisturizers to use for this condition. When I use proactive (especially if I use it too frequently) my skin starts to dry out. I just cut back!

Very Good
I first started using this is because I have had acne for at least 2 years now,it has bothered me a lot,I am 14 years old.I have tried many things:THE BODY SHOP tea tree oil , Aloe Gel plain soap and water'''''all of these didn't really make much of a difference to my face,but then my friend told me about PROACTIV so I decided to try it,and it worked very well for me.Maybe this product might not be that affective for other people but it has helped me a lot,I have only used this for a few weeks and I love it!!!Family and friends all say that I have less acne now.

Pros:

Mostly clears up skin
Convenient

Cons:

Stains clothes and sheets
Expensive

I've used Proactiv on and off for 15 years.. I've tried all kinds of stuff but always return to this product. I don't know if it means it's working, or if when you stop using it you break out regardless of what you try? Can't figure it out. But, I feel stuck using it if I want my skin to behave. I've been able to cancel several times, and I changed my billing to where they have to bill me instead of automatically charging my card, just remove your card number online. A kid lasts me a good 3-4 months.

Pros:

Smells clean and fresh
The only thing that has ever worked on clearing my acne
Affordable

Cons:

Bleaches towels
Can be very drying on skin
Once you stop using it your acne comes back fast

I love this product so much. I have tried almost everything that is acne treatment related at walgreens and walmart. Proactiv has really given a new found confidence in my acne free skin. In the first two weeks or so you still might continue to get acne, but don't let it discourage you from this product. If you want to see results you must stick to the regiment and be consistent. You don't get a six pack by going to the gym one time, do you? No! You have to stick to it. And for all those who have problems with cystic acne like me also (ie the hard red lumps under your skin) proactiv of course won't work on those because it a SURFACE acne clearer, if you want to get rid of those you need to go to a dermatologist, cystic acne could also be a symptom of a hormonal imbalance. Bottom line, stick to it and it will work.

Pros:

- lots of moisturzing components
- cures moderate to mild acne

Cons:

- can be over irritating due to bp in cleanser and the microbeads
- doesnt include moisturizer
- expensive and small bottles

it works for those with mild ot moderate acne, those with moderately-severe/ severe acne should go on the regime or a dermo each step has moisturizing compenents so its not over drying at all! ill rate a four cause it ALMOST cleared my moderately severe acne

Pros:

I'm 36 and still have problem skin, i was really suprised at how quickly using this cleared up my pimples. i was really sceptical at first but my skin is 100% better even after just a few weeks.
the best bit is that my pores are smaller and cleaner

Cons:

At first it seems overpriced but when i compare it to my other products, cleanser, moisturiser, spot cream etc, it doesnt seem so bad.
i wish the toner was in a larger container. the cotton balls soak most of it up and not much goes onto my face.

Im getting married in two months and really want clear skin, for now im happy to pay the price. It does smell but not badly, it smells like any another spot cream that contains benzoyl peroxide. botton line is im really happy with the product and would recommend it to anyone to have a go.

Pros:

Worked really well for both my kids. It cleared up their face acne and body problems

Cons:

Dont order online. Its not worth it. Order from a kiosk because you get it when you need it. No club joining involved.

It works and my whole family and friends all use. You have to be consistent with it and then you will see results.

Pros:

i really like proactiv, it has always worked with me, and if you stay with it, 2-3 times a day, your skin will look amazing. i've never had problems with clothes, or the color in them...that is a lie.

Cons:

all if it works really well, i have no complaints except if you lick your fingers after you wash your face, its a horrible taste...do not attemp.

awesome product, does wonders for a man.
