Pros:

confedence booster
clean feeling

Cons:

way to expensive and if you stop you break out like crazy!!!!!!!!!

well i have been useing this product for about 5 months and it worked like magic the first 2 months i was soo happy but soon it stoped working i started to break out again it was horrible my mom told me to stop but it only mad it worse once u start useing this product you have to keep useing it even when you have a little pimples left or you will break out and it would be worse than before i think it was a waste of money i wentfrom light to a bit over moderate acne severity. It works for a while the your skin gets prone to it so i dont recomend it but if u think it will help your skin you go buy it.

Pros:

Works fast and well

Cons:

It stops working!

I used Proactive for 3 years, I had perfect skin...my whole family had bad skin. But one day, it totally completely stopped working. I had the worst year of my life trying to find a new system, and my acne is worse then when I started using it

Pros:

Easy to use...

Cons:

Drys Skin, Burning sensations (sometimes), Redness doesn't really go away, takes too long to notice a difference if there is any, too expensive. Not for people with sensitive skin.

This product is garbage!! If you have sensitive skin Proactiv will not do anything but make your skin feel or look worse than before. I even tried the refining mask but after the first use my face became incredibly dry. If you're really looking for a product that works you should talk to your doctor. Don't buy any acne treatments you see on tv, you'll just waste your money!!

Pros:

It really clears up spots in the first week, smells nice.

Cons:

Face may be red after using and sting when you apply the nite cream.

I have spent many years using normal so called acne treatments and cleansers, and never had any of them work anything like proactiv. My boyfriend bought it for me as i was always giving out about my skin. I thought the price of the set was very expensive and didnt expect it to work. IT DID WORK!! I was so shocked, my skin cleared up in a week. But I have to admit that with a busy life i found the amount of steps to follow a pain. Plus i want to point out to readers that Proactiv in Ireland contains Salcylic acid and tee tree oil not benzyl peroxide like the US version. I wonder why that is? Anyway i stopped using it as it was to expensive to get shipped over and my skin is sensitive and sometimes would peel.

Pros:

It will clear your face over time(about two a three weeks) is works.
If you have you must ask them for the set for sensitive skin it's a life saver on your face.

Cons:

-It burns
-You can't skip a day or it will show

If you have sensitive skin ask them for the (Proactiv Gentle Formula), the one they show on tv will leave a burning feeling and it will be senstivie to the touch. The Gentle Formula works and feel better than the other set that they show on tv!!!!!!!

Pros:

- makes some zits go away over night
- makes you feel clean
- boosts self confidence

Cons:

- doesnt smell very good
- runs out fast
- takes some time

Proactiv is the best face treatment i have used so far. After one or two weeks you will see a vast improvement of your face. Although it takes some time, and doesnt just clear your acne over night it, it still works. If you don't have acne, dont use it because it will make your face very dry. You have to give it time and be consistant. Make sure to wash every night, or else you might break out bad. I like proactive alot =]

Pros:

-Clean feeling
-Gets rid of oil
-Nice to have the cleanser, toner, and cream companions

Cons:

-Very drying if used as directed
-Skip a day and you will break out worse than ever

I never had horrible acne, but enough to feel embarrassed. All kinds of concealing creams and whatnot made my skin look even worse. My goal was to find a product that would allow me to wear no foundation, powder, or anything and still feel confident. Got ProActiv because of its reputation and 3-step innovation. I feel that overall, ProActiv is average. I've found that it does not prevent breakouts, but does help clear up existing ones more quickly. I've never had blackheads until I started using this product, so I think ProActiv caused them. Can't use it more than once a day or my skin becomes very dry-looking. If I get lazy or I am out late at night, and I haven't washed my face, it starts to get very gross and pimply. I think this is a withdrawal kind of symptom from the product. Be careful.
