Pros:

It doesn't smell bad

Cons:

It just did not work for me! At first it seemed like it was ok but then I got this HUGEE allergic reaction to it and my face was really red and puffy for 2 days. The acne also came back after about a week.

Don't buy it it's a huge waste of money. I guess it works for some people with severe severe severe acne but if you have mild to medium acne, don't waste your time with this worthless product.

Pros:

Worked for a little while.

Cons:

Stopped working. Dried my skin out like crazy, left it leathery and red, but still zitty. "Clear Skin Club" is a total crock.

I do not recommend this product... Really drying, stinky, time consuming, ineffective. And to top it all off, there is no way of purchasing it without joining their little club, so after you realize it doesn't work, you have to CALL and BEG THEM to stop sending it, and you will probably have a shipment or two that you're not going to use just sitting at your house, cause they send it to you (and charge you) whether you want it or not. Maybe they realize that if they don't make you sign some agreement, you will never buy a kit more than once... if they get you to sign up, they can at least milk another sale or two out of you. This stuff sucks.

Pros:

clears and prevents zits, non-oily formula

Cons:

non-lathering, does not shrink pores, exfoliating beads in the cleanser can be quite painful, weird sulphur smell in the toner, repairing lotion makes your face look shiny, dulls your complexion, bleaches EVERYTHING.

works for clearing of zits, doesn't solve other skin problems such as large pores. In fact, I think it might worsen other skin problems. I think it's less effective on asian skin.

This stuff made my face swell,red,itchy,peely. I had moderatly clear skin prior to use of pro active. If you have sensitive skin DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT.

Be very cautious when using this product.

Pros:

Dries us SOME pimples

Cons:

at the same time....DRIES UP ENTIRE FACE AND IRRITATES PIMPLES INSTEAD OF HEALING THEM

Proactiv is not intended for for everyone and is not as glamorous on TV. to make it fair, they should show some of their failure stories instead of their fake ass success stories. if u've tried OTC medicines and it doesnt work...THEN DONT WASTE UR TIME AND MONEY ON PROACTIV.. detox works wonders! look it up! being proactive is about clearing out acne NOW. but detox is clearing ur body and SKIN of toxins that force the skin to break out

Pros:

At first I saw my skin looking better. It did not look as dry as before, I was happy. My skin felt soft.

Cons:

After using it for 2 1/2 weeks, my skin started getting red patches, and it was very dry and irritated, adn flaky. I got more pimples than I had before, adn really big ones. my skin feels rough and looks aged. HORRIBLE. looks like i have wrinkles.

( OH THE YEA THE MASK SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN EGG WHEN YOU CLEAN IT WITH THE TONER). Im still using the product since i havent had the 30 days completed yet. Im hoping my skin will get better. the only way it looks good is if i wear makeup, which was the reason why i started using this product, so i can stop covering my face with makeup. after reading some review im gonna just use it once a day to see if those ugly red small dots in my skin go away. i honestly saw better results using NEUTROGENA oil free acne wash combined wiht clean and clear persa gel. if this doesnt work im going back to using my old stuff. i might try the murad thing at [link removed]. ggggrrrr.... >(

Pros:

It Cleared up my skin in a couple of days.

Cons:

If i missed a day i would break out even worse then i have ever had and i dryed my skin up and made it really red.

Basically it works if you can be consistent and use it every day but i do have a busy life and don't always have time to use it.
