Pros:

EVERYTHING.

Cons:

NOTHING.

this stuff is very very good. people just use too much of the reparing lotion which is the one that drys out skin. DIME SIZE PEOPLE DIME SIZE!!! you break out when you first start because its pushing all that crap out of your skin and then it gets better. oh yeah btw dont order online they auto ship and it's really annoying.

Pros:

It worked great for about 2 years for me. Quit for about 6 months and am now using it again to clear a bad breakout. My face already has that smooth feeling that I missed when not using it.

Cons:

My face got very dry and irritated when I used it twice a day. Changing my routine to once a day worked much better but unfortunately it didn't last. My face became more sensitive and my breakouts took longer to heal so I stopped using it.

It does work if used routinely. In fact, I'm back using it right now after a terrible breakout from using an oral medication called Minocycline (which really didn't work for me). Now after not using Proactiv for 6 months I'm going to try it again to clear things back up. Hope it works... again!

Pros:

Managed my acne well

Cons:

Never completely got rid of it
Tad expensive

This product has helped me manage my acne well over the last year or so. I still get the occasional break out and pro active has never completely eliminated my acne. good product over all

Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Dried out skin. Worsened acne. Wasted money and time. My brother used this too, and he had the same results as me. I wasn't very fond of the smell.

Extremely dry skin even after I reduced the number of uses. I waited about 6 or 7 months to see any results, and I was disappointed with more acne on my face.

Pros:

it works for me for acne, which i don't have as much anymore now that i'm out of my twenties. so i haven't used it as much as i did in the past.

Cons:

no cons

i have a question tho. i have this other skin problem now that may be rosacea, but i'm not sure. anyway i thought i might try proactiv again and see if it clears that up. has anyone used it for anything besides acne?

Worse company ever
This is really bad company I ordered Proactiv last March and it said I suppose to get 3 installments and it's 75$ but however they send 3 kit by every other month and I thought I am done with paying with it but they charged money from my acc on August September and October I called customer care on September and I said I don't want items anymore and Plz stop charging my card and they said ok but next month they charged again and then I called my credit card and disputed payment and Proactiv start sending letters to me and it said I have past due of 75.36$ so however I had to pay double. Worse company ever I think I spent more than 200$ for 3 boxes

Please don't go for this
This is the waste product,Please don't go for this. I have used it, which made my skin black in color and as well as no improvement in acne/scars removals. Instead of this you better prefer the normal solutions which are in available @ medical stores. Waste of Money and time.

10 weeks and my face got worse
Skin type: normal/oily I used Proactiv for 10 weeks and my face got progressively worse with more redness and breakouts. It worked for my sister and best friend though hence why I cant give it less than a three; it just doesn't work for everyone.

did not work for my skin at all
I purchased this about 3 years ago, the whole shazam, and used it religiously everyday, twice a day as the package described. Let me tell you it was a waste of my time and a waste of my money! It did not work, i tried to be patient, but after 5 months and no result i gave up. I got on birth control and about 60% of my face cleared up and i am currently using the regimen to clean out the rest, and i am starting to see results. If you want clear skin there are other options, dont give up. Proactiv is full of bullsh*t advertisement with no real results.

it just made my skin worse
Everytime I used it my face got really irritated and puffy. I thought maybe I was just using it wrong but after several times I realized it was just making my skin worse.
