Pros:

It's easy to use, you can use it anytime you like.

Cons:

Dries face, burns, makes acne worse, too expensive, customer service sucks. Doesn't work within 2 months like advertised.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless your skin isn't really bad with acne, maybe a pimple here & there. It will make your face worse & if you stop using it, it makes it ten times worse. I won't be buying this product again. In fact I'm going to the dermatologist instead.

Pros:

smells nice, the face mask is great

Cons:

expensive, feels heavy.. etc. terrible

I thought possibly this could be my miracle product but, it wasn't. It didn't work for me, it just broke me out more because it is way to strong. As for my brother it worked for him but, after he stopped using proactiv the acne all came back. If you do something physical and sweat it burns your face and makes it irritated. My face felt completely oily. It can get quite expensive. You can surely try it but, for me i'll never be a customer again. Thanks to paid actors i've wasted good money.

Pros:

Proactive makes a lot of money

Cons:

Everything, price, ive used it for three months no improvement yet. i had tried just about everything. I think I'm cursed or something.

Proactive sucks. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Oh and also do not buy those damn vitamins when you order. Those suck too and they wanna charge 60 bucks for those. It's hard to cancel if if you do the free trial. Vita Clear SUCKS!!! You can but the same thing at the dollar store.

Pros:

Works for a while

Cons:

Expensive, dries your skin out..

I tried this products for over two years. It worked for about two years,but stopped working after that. It dries your skin so bad. It bleached my skin, so many of my red spots faded out. But it bleached my clothes, towels, and pillow cases, also...It is really strong medicine, so I won't recommend if you are sensitive skin type.I don't like the fact that it only works for a while. Expensive!

Pros:

Clears up mild acne

Cons:

Dries the skin and makes it rough
Expensive

I have been using this product for about a month now and although it worked well in the beginning, its effect has faded. Also, the third step is VERY drying on the skin and must be used with a moisturizer. I don't use the facial scrub everyday though, since it is a bit harsh on my sensitive skin. Overall, I would say this product is not that effective as people say. I am now definitely planning to pass it up for Accutane which is cheaper and works well.

overpriced, and it actually made my acne much worse. I didn't think such a thing was possible.

Pros:

none

Cons:

This stuff does not work
it is expensive

They use lots of advertising to make it look appealing. They say it is the most purchased acne product but the only reason for that is all the advertising and celebrity endorsements. I used this for a while and it did not help me at all. Trust me if you have mild acne stick to a typical Benzoyl peroxode product. I use Oxy Maximum Strength 10% bp treatment 2 times a day and it works better than anything else. I also use Zap Zits for my T- line and for spot treatments.

Pros:

None

Cons:

I used this product and kept with it for a couple months but it had very little effect on my acne. It burns your skin if u use a little bit too much, so if you use it only use very little.

This product is not worth the time or money and I suggest using something else, especially if you have sensitive skin like I do.

Pros:

The benzoyl peroxide used in this product is somewhat effective.

Cons:

did not work any better than any other benzoyl peroxide product and didn't have enough of the solution to last until the next shipment.

this product is no different than the products available at the stores, waste of money
