Pros:

Easy to use. Friendly customer service. Some clearing on my acne.

Cons:

Drying and made my skin paler. You still get the odd pimple every now and then. Skin eventually becomes 'immune' to the benzyl peroxide.

Not worth the money. Your paying for the celebrities to say they use it and the infomercisals and the billboards etc. I'm going to use something else.

Pros:

Makes my skin smooth, blemishes disappeared faster, evened out skin tone color.

Cons:

Doesn't foam so it's hard to get makeup off with it on eyes and skin.

A good product; I have fairly clear skin with a few blemishes here and there sometimes. I like Neutrogena Acne Wash just as well. If it helps you, use it. If not, don't waste the money.

Pros:

Cleared my face overnight.

Cons:

Dry face at the beginning, but positive results, and my face has never been smoother and clear.

Try it, and if it does not work for you, return it. Word of the wise, purchase from a kiosk in a mall, and not on the phone.

Pros:

Worked well for me, smells great

Cons:

DO NOT ORDER DIRECT FROM PROACTIV...you can easily get all products on Ebay from reputable sources for much cheaper. Their billing department is practically 3rd world - have never had a positive experience with them. Story too long to share.

If you like the product, be smart enough to buy it on Ebay & avoid being locked into their stupid automatic shipping/billing cycle & overpaying.

Pros:

Made skin look healthy, Eliminated pimples, Face feels incredibly clean

Cons:

Takes a while to fully work...Dried my face out once... Don't like the cleansers texture very well...

The Cleanser: Has a grainy feel, yet they only let you use a dime size.. when you want to use almost a whole bottle. I smells very nice, and the packaging is very easy to use. I apply a Biore cleanser 2x a week after, to close my large pores. Overall? Makes skin feel and look very healthy. The Toner: Ehh..In my opinion.. I'm not a fan of it. It seems to me I could go to Wallgreens and pick up a 3buck cleanser and do that same, But thats just my opinion. The Lotion: You really do have to get use to using such small amount of this stuff, because I ran out of it in almost 2 weeks. I honestly haven't noticed it dye my hair or clothing, so I think I am in the safe zone. I suggest waiting for the toner to dry before applying this lotion. In my daily schedule, I apply a clear, salicyc acid, advanced medication before the lotion and after the toner, to eliminate any present pimples, as the Benzoyl Peroxide is not fast medicating. Refining Mask: use 2x a week an

Pros:

It has definitely reduced my getting bumps and whiteheads by a big number. I hardly have actual zits or whiteheads. It has removed my blackheads, my face is smooth.

Cons:

Some of my blemishes have taken quite a while to get rid of, I still have them on my chin, and if you have slightly fair skin as do I use a light moisturizer after the repairing lotion, or else your skin will peel and be dry.

I believe it has worked for me, a little bit high on the price, but I have tried TONS of things, Clean and Clear, Neutrogena etc. etc. Hope this helps!

Pros:

With regular use Proactiv did reduce the number of breakouts I had and it did in fact make my skin appear visibly healthier

Cons:

It is slightly expensive.Also it was not recommended by my dermatologist who told me not to waste my money.Also there is a bleach containg agent in the repairing lotion that discolrs clothing.

It works pretty well
