Pros:

Refining mask

Cons:

Dry flaky itchy skin; Didn't work; Expensive when bought outside of Clear Skin Club

I had used Proactiv for a few years, and finally gave up on it last year. It made my skin itchy and irritated and only got rid of the small pimples--not the bigger ones--and my breakouts didn't go away completely. It was the only thing that semi-worked for me so I used it for awhile, but gave up on it because it never fully worked for me. Plus, I even tried the extra strength Proactiv line, but that made my skin severely dry and flaky and even more irritated. I have to say that I was really disappointed by this product. The only thing that I still actually use is the Refining Mask--it dries up pimples pretty quickly.

Pros:

Cleans dirt off your face

Cons:

Costs a lot, doesn't remove acne, dries out skin too much for 15mins after use, then leaves skin crying like a battered rape victim.

No good, no good at all for acne. Go see a Dermatologist.

Pros:

None that I can think of...

Cons:

Made face really dry and extremely red!!! not to mention the $50.00 price tag

I've tried this product twice. The first time I took it, I was on it for about a month and a half and saw NO results. I went along with other over-the-products for awhile and decided to try proactiv again to see if this time it would work(i was thinking i wasnt doing it properlly). So the SECOND time i took it, I closely followed instructions and even tried to eat right and stupid stuff like that and PROACTIV still didnt give me my money's worth. This product is a JOKE! When companies hire celebrities to be their voice, it's usually not a good sign, you know?

Pros:

The toner always ,made my face feel fresh and clean! The mask also seemed to work very well.

Cons:

The product seemed to dry out my skin alot. The lotion did not help. My face was very itchy while i was using it.

This product seemed to work at first, however i never saw signifigant improvement. After about eight months of using this stuff it stopped working altogather and even seemed to make things worse!

Pros:

Repairs damaged skin

Cons:

Does not in any way prevent breakouts... The repairing lotion only made my acne worse so I actually stopped using that. PRICE

Give it a try but do not expect amazing results. It is an over priced and over hyped product. If you have very oily skin, I recommend using Clean%Clear Persa Gel instead of the proactiv's repairing lotion.

Pros:

Makes you feel god about using something that's "supposedly" used by celebrities

Cons:

DOES NOT WORK

BEsides the terrible smell and horrible breakouts it causes, it's still a terrible product. I've had acne for about 2 years and thought this would cure it. Well...i didn't. It works at first and then makes you breakout like crazy. And, yes the refining mask is a good product, but You have to use it everyday just for the pimple to get unnocibly smaller. It does not stop zits. It just dries your skin, which they think amkes your pimples appear smaller. It doesn't. The people on tv lied. They retouched the pictures and wore make-up in the commercial. Do NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!
