Pros:

Easy to order

Cons:

Product did not work well with my skin, in fact, made it worse, I continued (stupidly) thinking that it would get better, it didn't.
Would not recommend this at all. Be aware also that if you order online, Proactiv keep on sending and charging you for the product, even though you don't need it. They will refund you however, once you've paid the P&P, for an item you didn't need or want in the first place... ah....

Stay well clear, its not worth it.

Pros:

Came with a free refining mask

Cons:

Didn't work

I tried using this product twice, both times I used it every day for about a four month period. I was really excited to get started using this (it was the first real thing I had tried for my acne) but it gave absolutely no results. I feel like this product would only help you if you had three or four zits on your entire face, because that's about all cleared for me. I had never cancelled my order so I kept getting boxes of it and after about six months of stopping I tried it again, but as before I saw no results. I have seen results for some people, but definitely not recommended if you have severe acne.

Pros:

It heals fast

Cons:

It is very expensive compared to acne.org. It is not worth the price. The main problem with proactiv is that acne bacteria becomes resistant to tis ingredients. Why? Because acne bacteria tries SO HARD to survive on the skin that it basically fights with the product for the pore area and after using it for more than three months you will see that the initial results will begin to reduce until it seems like your wasting your money cause it doesn't do anything anymore. I'm a microbiologist.

Overall proactiv is not a product that you could use always. Acne.org can be used always because it heals and you won't be struggling with the fact that it doesn't work, because it will clear your skin.

Pros:

Got rid of my acne the first few months

Cons:

Dried out my skin like crazy
Cleanser and lotion left a burning sensation on my skin

When I first got Proactiv it was like my holy grail for acne, but I recently got a shipment in and this set is burning my skin and drying it out till it flakes. The cleanser, toner, and lotion all gave my face a burning feeling and my skin started to turn red. Never purchasing this product again.

Pros:

Refining mask helps

Cons:

The 3 step process Didn't help my acne. Horrible customer service. Scam.

Don't waste your money, its a rip off. Kept taking money from my account after I cancelled and mailed back product. Never saw a refund. I would not recommend this product.

Pros:

Refining mask is a lifesaver

Cons:

Hassle to use
Other products from the line aren't dependable
Terrible for sensitive skin
Makes skin very dry after use
Harsh chemicals
Expensive

When I had this product I was always too lazy to go through all three steps so I mostly only used the refining mask which worked very well overnight. Other than that do not use this product if you have sensitive skin. It will make your acne 20 times worse due to it's harsh ingredients. I only recommend this product to people who have a light to moderate amount of acne and who will most likely only use the refining mask. The chemicals in this product are bad for any kind of skin in general and the entire package is pretty expensive so I recommend saving your money for a more dependable/safer product for your skin and your dollar.
