November 8, 2007

Pros:

Did help my acne. My skin is soft, smooth, glowy, more even. Even after oil control lotion, repairing lotion, and moisturizer my skin doesn't feel gunky. Contrary to other reviews this moisturized my senstive dry skin.

Cons:

It hasn't worked AS well as I had hoped. Expensive. The cleanser runs out faster than everything else. Its nearly impossible to use a "dime size" amount like they suggest.

My favorite product so far, but still looking.

Pros:

skin feels calm

Cons:

wont help you completely

although it did not treat my acne completely. But somehow it controls the acne from spreading. For me once my acne is under control. Its good. works for some people. You can try , it helped me..

Pros:

celeberty endorsements

Cons:

i used proactive for 5 months. I saw results within two months but after another few weeks, my skin got worse. for me, the worst thing about it was that it made my skin look extremely greasy and shiny.

it looks good in the box and has neat packaging

Pros:

It Cleard up my skin fast!

Cons:

It bleach's towels! And can be drying. i dont use the moisturizer i use my own.

I have been using proactive for about 5months! and im very happy with it.im also on a low antibiotic called doxycycline. Which has also helped! The only thing im unsure on is can you use proactive for years.? or is it jst for until your skin clears up? It has worked for me! my skin is clear!

Pros:

It makes me feel clean and it keeps me from breakouts and cists

Cons:

the old proactive was fine, but the new extra strength REALLY dries out my skin and it burns my eyes!

i think they should go back to using the regular proactive. i liked that stuff a lot more

Pros:

It works for me! Previously I have tried numerous products, and my pimples still comes out big and painful, after proavtiv, my face clears up and i feel great :), not conscious anymore that others are looking at my pimples :)

Cons:

a little inaccessible to buy in malaysia

i guess you can try it out and see if it works for you, for me it's really a blessing that my face can finally be clear and pimple-free! :)

Pros:

Definite improvement. I get fewer pimples and less of the really bad ones. My skin is not perfect but rarely embarrasses me anymore. No more of the pus filled zits, only bumps. I like the mask

Cons:

Expensive, doesn't work perfectly. But, I sometimes get lazy and don't use the toner every time.

Won't get rid of EVERYTHING but gets you to a point where you only need a bit of makeup to look like you have perfect skin.

Pros:

Face is smoother, blackheads and whiteheads disappearing, acne scars fading.

Cons:

slightly red face, gets a little dry if you don't moisturise.

Seems to be working good for me so far. Just remember to moisturise, any face moisturiser will do.

Pros:

i guess it works but i dont use it daily like im supposed to, leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft

Cons:

im gettin results but im not sure im usin it correctly because i dont use it daily and due to that i think my acnes getting worse

it works but you dont have to use it the way your directed may have some side effect like dry skin, irritation, redness, more acne than before
August 10, 2007

Pros:

the cleanser felt refreshing, and the toner did not sting

Cons:

my acne was pretty much the same, it just felt not as dry.

for what it is, it is expensive. I had recieved proactive as a gift and when I ran out I looked for it and found out the price and said, heck no. If it was $20 maybe but not $49.
