Pros:

It cleared my skin a little but not much

Cons:

It caused my skin to dry out despite the fact that I have oily skin, also my acne got worse over time after I stopped using it.

My dad decided to get my brother and Proactiv because we both have acne but ours isn't that bad so I was a little excited to use it but when I started it burned my sensitive skin and after using it it worked but after I stopped it cause my acne to get worse and my skin dried. I tried to use it again but I had to stop after. I saw that it worked for my brother but I won't use it ever, I guess it works for people how have light acne. Also I have read some stories about bad customer service to cancel your order and I didn't have a problem with it. But don't use it if you have sensitive skin!!!!! It will make it worse!!!!

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

-Big rashes on cheeks and eyelids]
-Acne got worser
-Skin peeling like crazy
-Face stings
-Face itchy
-Makes things worser
-Makes acne more noticeable
-Face is so red in areas like big splats of paint just right there :P

At first I had only acne on my nose, just a little. When I first started using it, it felt a little weird. The face wash smells and is rough. Then after a little over a week. My whole fast started getting swollen with big red patches of rashes all over my cheeks and chin and gnaw. My face is really itchy and I try not to itch it, good thing I don't itch it. My dad is so paranoid, he tells me that my face is like rotting away which makes me really sad. I wish I still had those very few acne so I don't need to deal with any of this pain. I tried many things,but I am not ready to give up.

money back gaurantee

Cons:

-made acne worst!!

i tried this once when i was in high school and it made me break out within the 1st week of trying it. So a few years later i decided to try it again thinking maybe because i only used it for a week i didnt get the full effect. i tried it for about 2months and nothing! i'd say try it at your own risk

Pros:

the moisturizer works well

Cons:

My face actually got worse using this product. they say they have a money back guarantee but they don't refund the shipping which is $10. You also get stuck with a monthly plan. I canceled but they already sent the next 3month supply. I had to pay for the shipping to me and back on that to get my refund. So, it ended up costing me $20 for nothing.

Proactiv Doesn't work.

Makes acne worse

I got proactiv after trying products such as Clearasil, and it honestly didn't do anything except give me worse acne. Now, my skin is amazing with help of a dermatologist. Everyone's skin is different, and theres no product that can work for everyone. If going to a doctor isn't an option, I've found that Neutragena is the best over the counter skin care line. Also, ladies, remember to get makeup off before scrubbing things into your pores!

Pros:

None

Cons:

My face started clearing up for about a week, and then got much worse than it had been before, resulting in really painful cystic acne instead of the whiteheads I used to have.

I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. It really doesn't work and is rather expensive. Trying to cancel was a huge hassle, as I had to deal with an offshore call center that insisted I just needed to try the sensitive skin version of the product. It took 30 minutes on the phone to cancel my account.

Pros:

makes you skin a bit smooth

Cons:

this crap is pretty much terrible. it made me break out really really bad. so bad that i didnt want to go anywhere for a month. its suppose to make your acne worse before it gets better but who knew it would get this worse.

if u want to use this be prepared to go thru a dramatic breakout before you want it to get better. and theres no garantee when it will. could take a couple of months for some or could take a few weeks for some. depends on your skin type.

Pros:

it keeps down the larger pimples, it smells good and it makes my face feel clean.

Cons:

the fact is, i have been using the stupid product for two years now and the redness and irritation around on my face has stayed the same all along. if i miss one day, or even just one morning, i break out with a HUGE pimple the next day.

Proactive wasnt a complete waste of time, considering that i dnt have huge pimples when i use it everyday, but i have this bad feeling that whats happening is that my skin is so used to it now that i wont be able to stop it without my face looking like a the face of the moon. its rediculous that i have spent so much time and money on it for two years and STILL have acne.
