Pros:

none (for me)

Cons:

Dried out my face too much

I've heard it work for other people but when i tried it I noticed it did nothing to improve my skin (perhaps even made it worse). Dont be fooled by the celebrity endorsements, the ingredients in this product are not revolutionary or unique.

I'm very upset about the product and the service they offer. First I ordered a sample package. After using the product, my skin got irritated and felt itchy, but I couldn't send it back because it would cost me more than the money I would get as a refund since I have to send it from Korea. Yet, the worst thing was that I got another package from Proactiv which I didn't order!! They argue that I was automatically joined into the club of automatic re-ordering system when I made my first order. SHOOT!! They insist the message was clearly stated, but I don't think it was! It was embeded!! I can't help but surmise what they are doing is deceiving the customers, especially the international customers who are not easy to complain about it because of their poor English proficiency. Pls aware of their embeded advertisement of re-ordering system and don't let your money taken from them.

Pros:

It helps stop break outs and helps clear up old ones.

Cons:

Makes your skin really tight.

Ive been using proactive for a few weeks I,m only 15 and have pretty bad break outs it works really well to clean up your face from acne but it doesn't help get rid of scars .

Pros:

the bottles are pretty

Cons:

It's too expensive,and it doesn't do anything. Actually, It made my face worst.

It might work for some people. But if you don't have a lot of money, don't risk it.

Pros:

Works at first, takes away redness, and leaves face feeling clean.

Cons:

Stops working after using it for awile, leaves fase very dry and flaky, makes face irrated, does not work for everyone.

I have used this product off and on for a couple of years and only see results in the begining. It leaves my face very flaky and red. It does clear acne but does not stop acne so in the end it is pointless.

Pros:

I honestly don't have any pros for this product as of now. Maybe the only thing positive I can say is that it smelled ok.

Cons:

I had NEVER had a problem with dry skin until this product. As the matter of fact, I was a little oily in the T-zone and was horrified to see that my skin has aged about 10 years using this product.

Bottom line is I would definitely NOT recommend this product because of the reasons mentioned above. I would definitely not recommend this product to anyone who uses mineral make up, as it made my skin look like somebody had applied latex to it to make me look older...no matter how much moisterizer I applied, my skin was still very, very dry and I noticed no difference, whatsoever, on the pimples that I had...as a matter of fact, I broke out even more!! Hopefully other people had luck with this product, but this is definitely not for me. Sending mine back for refund.

Pros:

Kind of cleans your face?

Cons:

-tore up my skin because of the constant exfolianting.
-smelled disgusting.
-made my skin worse -WAY overpriced. made my skin red and irritated.

Don't buy it, it's just an overpriced product that will just tare up your skin and damage it.
