Pros:

It makes your skin look and feel amazing!! Beautiful clear skin.

Cons:

It's kinda expensive.

Proactiv really worked for me. I wouldn't stop using it for anything in the world. **Advice to some people. Proactiv is not an overnight miracle thing. It takes time. And you have to use it everyday!! If your skin gets dry and flaky...that's normal. Thats why they also offer moisturizers. I think everyone with acne should give it a try.

Pros:

skin isn't dry, and soothes my skin instead of irritating it.

Cons:

I just don't like using a cotton ball for the toner but that's about it.

My face had cleared up and the trick is to only wash your face day time and night. That was my problem before because I had such dry skin in the past.

Pros:

I'm surprised at all the comments about drying of the skin, which I've never experienced. I especially like the toner. Overall the system has worked for me, and when I've stopped using it to try something else, I've regreted it and gone back.

Cons:

Previously the line was limited, tho now I'm glad to see there are eye creams, make up removers, and a salicylic night cream, as well as limited make up items (powers, concealers), available thru QVC.

I like it and would recommend it.

Pros:

-clears up existing acne well
-skin feels smooth
-easy to use

Cons:

-doesn't prevent breakouts well
-exspensive
-once you start you CAN'T stop, or you'll break out worse than before

I have really oily skin so this works well for me, but I have friends with normal skin who use it and it dries out their skin and causes peeling. Best for bad acne, not great for occasional breakouts. The most effective product at clearing acne I've ever used. But you have to use it forever once you start, can't skip even 1 day.

Pros:

This stuff is amazing. The only treatment that has ever worked for me. I've had a clear complexion for over year now :)

Cons:

The price sucks and you're gonna have to be extremely consistent in using it. As soon as you stop for a week or so, you'll break out like hell.
Oh, and the three-step process is a bitch every morning and night...takes like 20 minutes.

ONLY use this if nothing else has worked for you. It worked for me and friends of mine, and it can work for you too, if you're willing to pay for it and use it TWICE a day, EVERY day.

Pros:

IT HAS SOME MERIT. I DEFINATELY NOTICED IMPROVEMENT AND NOTHING ELSE BUT ANTIBIOTICS EVER HELPR=ED ME MUCH BEFORE.

Cons:

A BIT PRICEY!!! THEY REQUIRE AN ORDER AT LEAST EVERY 6 MONTHS TO GET CLUB PRICING AND I DON'T NEED IT THAT OFTEN.

IT TOOK ABOUT TWO WEEKS TO CLEAR MY ACNE UP BUT I HAD IT BAD. I HAVE ROSACEA AND ALTHOUGH IT DOESN'T KEEP ME FROM HAVING ROSACEA "EPISODES" IT KEEPS THE RELATED ACNE IN CHECK VERY WELL. I STILL HAVE REDNESS AND SWELLING OF THE NOSE; I.E. W.C. FIELDS; WHEN THE ROSACEA FLARES BUT UP ONLY ORAL ANTIBIOTICS CAN TREAT AND PREVENT THAT. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY COMPLEXION I HAD TO TAKE THE ANTIBIOTICS EVERY DAY ALONG WITH USING PRESCRIPTION FACIAL WASH, PRESCRIPTION ROSACEA OINTMENT, AND PRESCRIPTION ROSACEA LOTION ALL OF WHICH WERE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. I NOW ONLY USE PROACTIVE AND OCCASIONALLY TAKE ANTIBIOTICS TO COMBAT THE SWELLING OF MY NOSE THAT ROSEACEA CAUSES. AFTER CLEARING UP I ONLY HAVE TO USE PROACTIVE ONCE A DAY AND SOME TIMES SKIP A DAY OF TWO W/O DRASTIC EFFECT. THE PROACTIVE IS PRICEY BUT THE PRESCRIPTON EQUVILENT WAS FAR MORE EXPENSIVE SO IN MY CASE IT IS WORTH IT. I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED ANY IRRITATION FROM THE BENZOYL PEROXIDE BUT I HAVE TOUGH FACE.

Pros:

It smells good, leaves my skin clean

Cons:

gives a tight feeling in the face, dries skin

Proactiv didn't start working "right away" as it promised and I occasionally have a pimple here and there, but it did really improve the look of my skin. The key is to moisturize during the day and to use the products at night. The refining mask really dried out my skin when I used it as a spot treatment, so I wouldn't recommend that, but it works great as a mask!

Pros:

Proactiv works! It's a simple step by step system. It's less irritating than most products I have tried.

Cons:

It's expensive

Got the starter kit (3 step plus green tea moisturizer and mask). It's definitely effective. After just two days of use, my existing pimples already started getting smaller. After 1-2 weeks of use, pimples that have been there for months are now flat and gone. I'll spend the money on this, rather than wasting my money time and time again on products that don't work.

Pros:

Shrinks my pores, leaves my skin feeling smooth, makes my acne manageable for the first time in years.

Cons:

Dry skin! Use the repairing lotion sparingly! I was slathering it on at first and had very dry skin.

Love it! I recommend it all the time.
