Pros:

It worked very well for me for several years. As advertized I would say. The one time I dealt with Cust. Serv. they were very good.

Cons:

The past few times I have used the Repairing lotion, my skin gets irritated, dry, and very sun sensitive about a day or 2 after use. This lasts for at least a week after I stop using.

I was very happy with this product for several years, but it no longer seems to work for me. I am 35 and don't get bad breakouts or anything, but used it when I had some upcoming event that i wanted clear, toned skin for. Not sure what changed, but unfortunately, I am done using this product. I am recommending this product, because it worked for me for quite a while, and anyone should definately give it a try and see how it works specifically for them. I would advise not to overuse, as it seems quite potent.

Pros:

Easy to use. Cleared me up A LITTLE BIT.

Cons:

Only worked for about a week then it just stopped working.

It helped with really, really small pimples. But it did not help clear my face. It worked for about a week then it seemed to just stop working... I SUGGEST YOU USE EITHER THE ACNE.ORG REGIMEN OR THE WEXLER ANTI-ACNE STARTER KIT.

Pros:

Works well, especially the refining mask. easy to use.

Cons:

skin is terrible if you go off of it, price is high

Great product if ou can commit to it, but the price is high and the kits are annoying. why can't items be sold seperately? also your skin returns to normal (ie-BAD) as soon as you quit using it, which sucks.

Pros:

Only stuff that has fixed my acne.

Cons:

Takes a few months to work.

This stuff works for me! But take a few months until I see visible results. But hey that is a lot better then using clearasil and clean and clear. I used clearsil and clean and clear for ages, and never saw results in using there products, proactiv has actually given me completely clear skin. Meaning not a single zit on my face. I have suffer from bad acne. This stuff has been great for me, its worth the money.

Pros:

Well it cleared up my acne and i do get one or two now and then but otherwise my face is pretty cleared.

Cons:

Dries out your skin if you don't moisturize.
Will break you out alot if you don't use it properly or skip a day.

You must use this as directed otherwise it wouldn't work. First after cleansing for a few days your skin will start to feel soft and smooth. But you will likely to breakout 2/3 weeks into the program. After that breakout phrase your skin will start to be clear up. The pimples and red marks will slowly fade away.

Pros:

It made my skin break out for the first month but thats just its way of pulling out the impurities. After it pulled the impurites out, my face cleared up quick and is still clear.

Cons:

It takes amonth to see results.

Proactive is going to work great for some people and not for others. people just need to give it a try and not judge the way it works in just the first few weeks but wait a month or two so your skin can get used to it.

Pros:

cleared acne, smoothed skin, cheap

Cons:

using 3 things. have to use it everyday or it wont work.
sometimes repairing lotion makes skin look a little oily.

i had bad acne and tried everything over the counter and a few prescriptions ..never worked.. the proactiv works!!!... the toner stung a little and if it was used within hours of the repairing mask smelled rotten! - but after a month or so of using it everyone complemented my complection.. looked like i had been air brushed. cleared my acne really fast, and i just love how it makes my skin look and feel.

Pros:

The product was absolutely wonderful. After years of no luck with anything, including prescription products, Proactiv cleared up my skin rather quickly.

Cons:

I could not afford it! The only reason I was able to use it in the first place was it was, for unknown reasons, being sent to my apartment for someone who did not live there so I happily made use of it.

I loved it, but unfortunately couldn't afford it. Once I ran out, that was it. Its effects continued for a month or so, then my skin went back to what it had been before.. bad. The only other adverse effect I had was when winter came, my skin dried out to a painful degree. I have a feeling that this was due to a combination of the product and having to walk 20 minutes to my job daily while living in Upstate New York, but I can never be certain. If it had been within my budget, I never would have stopped using this. Also, please note despite what I wrote, I DID NOT EVER PAY FOR THIS PRODUCT. I just couldn't post the review unless I said I paid something.
