Pros:

They will work with you to set up a delivery schedule.
You can purchase all the components together, or separately as needed.
Love the refining mask!

Cons:

Doesn't work as shown on the TV.
Cost is unsatisfactory.
Can irritate the skin.

I stuck with the system and definitely saw a decrease in the amount of acne I was getting. However, for the price I feel like I'm not entirely satisfied with the results and will be trying out Dan's system. Proactiv seems to work well for some people, but for me it seemed to only work semi-well and has plateaued. A tip - when using the toner, don't use too much or you'll turn your face a little red.

Pros:

Works really well for the first few months, cleared up skin and made me buy more of their products thinking it will continue to make my acne problems go away

Cons:

Expensive and they ship it so often I ended up with a lot of it. the biggest con for me was after a few months i noticed it stopped working and my acne came back and i pretty much had tons of their stuff left over

use it if you would like to try it out and you should see some results. however, to treat acne i would recommend going to a dermatologist and getting pills if its serious and if you can afford it because it may be more expensive for medical stuff but in the long tun there will probably be more success

Pros:

I have used Proactiv for a few years. Using the face wash, toner and lotion was too much for my skin. I started using the face wash by itself and it worked just fine. I only had mild acne.I have not used Proactiv for a while now and no more pimples

Cons:

The face wash stains or bleaches anything with color. My colored towels all got stained or bleached by this product. I thought I rinsed by face well each time. I would wash my face with Proactiv before bed and even my pillow cases got stained.

Product works, but you may have to find what combination of the products works best for you. You don't necessarily need the 3 step program of face wash, toner and repairing lotion. Also, use white towles when you dry your face or you will ruin your colored towels!!!

Pros:

Worked for about a month.

Cons:

Dried out face, Worse acne then before, i have mild cystic acne, after using proactiv my face would have the cysts WORSE than ever before,left 2 dents already. These aren't the normal cysts... these won't go away :'( and PAINFUL!

Don't use this product if you have moderate-severe acne. Its not worth it, and it is very painful-leaves scarring!

Pros:

it works only if you keep using it

Cons:

See the think with this product is that you have to keep using it. The minute you stop, you will get more acne then you ever had before. Therefore I didnt keeping using it because I didnt wanna get "hooked"

If you are going to keep using it forever, then its good.

Pros:

smells great, leaves my skin smooth, consistantly clear skin.

Cons:

occasional dryness, results took a month, and its a little pricey.

i believe it when others have said this doesn't work for everyone. but if you have mildly oily skin, and breakout from stress, menstrual cycle, and sweating you should really try this.

Pros:

I have only used it for about 2 weeks...it makes my skin soft

Cons:

It is making my face break out (people told me it has to get worse before it gets better)!

I think it may work...it is costly and I don't like being stuck in something I cannot get out of (the "club") and having my card charged monthly for me...nope, I like the freedom of paying it on my own!

Pros:

cleared up most of my acne.
if i went a day or 2 without it pimples will not break out.

Cons:

alot of pimple breakout on the first month on trying this product as the body hormones reacts towards this product which i think is normal.

i love proactiv. it has helped me improved my skin. ALOT. however it is a bit costly.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

It didn't help my acne - it actually made it worse. It burns when you use it, it burns when you go into the sun, and it causes redness. It also bleaches some died fabrics. I thought it was terrible.

I used it for two months and my acne was worse the entire time. After I stopped using it, my face returned to its normal, mild acne.
