DO NOT BUY THIS!!
I had a minor hormonal acne, so I decided to buy Proactiv in hope to clear up my skin. Immediately I began breaking out. I blew it off thinking it got worse before it got better. I kept using the products, but nothing got better.. at all. I have extremely sensitive skin, but I did not think an acne treatment would break me out. At first I stopped using the body wash that made my entire upper back severely break out, which had never happened before. Within a few days of not using the body wash, my entire back completely cleared up. After realizing this, I decided to stop using the face care items as well. Same results. My face completely cleared up and went back to my usual few pimples every now and then. Has anyone else had these awful results?!

Works for me

Pros:

easy to find
works for light acne
easy to use

Cons:

a bit expensive

I hate beeing the devil's lawyer, but after reading a few of the comments I think I have to. Proactiv did worked for me. I always had light acne and I think I've tried almost every treatment out there and Proactiv was the only one that actually worked. I only use it once a day tho, at night, before I go to bed, so maybe that's why I don't experience the dryness. And I buy it from the local farmacy so I don't have to deal with the customer service (I feel that people complain more about this than the product itself :D) Anyway, just wanna let people know that there are people out there that have good experience with Proactiv.

Pros:

Clears marks over time
Skin noticeably clear after 3 weeks

Cons:

Bleached my skin to the max, i had a white face, i'm black.
Expensive
Customer Service is ridiculous
Doesn't get rid of all pimples.

Once you start using it there's no going back, you have to be persistant and once you stop using, expect your skin to get 10 times as bad as before. Bleaches skin, and does a bad job of getting rid of pimples.

Pros:

Does a good job of clearing unwanted acne when used properly.

Cons:

May cause irritation if exfoliating the skin with step 1 is done harshly.

So far my experience with proactiv has been great! Not everyone's skin is the same so the results will be noticeable at different times. But I've used it for about 3 weeks and my skin is starrting to look really clear, I love it! I've tried plenty of face washes and none have worked as well as proactiv!(:

Pros:

-clears acne
-makes skin soft
-not too expenive
-feels great to use
-works tremendously

Cons:

-can dry out skin

Im a teenage girl and Ive been using this for a few months now and I don't get how this doesn't work for people, it works great for me! I love it! However it does dry out skin a bit, but just use the green tea mosturiser and your skin will feel great! It cleared up my acne really fast. I get around one pimple every month but it doesn't stay long at all. This product is great!

Pros:

Clears acne up.
The company will suck your money away if you don't watch out. Because they always sign you up for things without you knowing it, and they can't conform to your needs.

Cons:

Depending on the type of skin it might burn a little. Just bring down the amount of times you use it.

Like the product. Don't like the company. It's better to just buy it when you need it from a local store.

Pros:

Got rid of my acne the first few months

Cons:

Dried out my skin like crazy
Cleanser and lotion left a burning sensation on my skin

When I first got Proactiv it was like my holy grail for acne, but I recently got a shipment in and this set is burning my skin and drying it out till it flakes. The cleanser, toner, and lotion all gave my face a burning feeling and my skin started to turn red. Never purchasing this product again.

Pros:

Refining mask helps

Cons:

The 3 step process Didn't help my acne. Horrible customer service. Scam.

Don't waste your money, its a rip off. Kept taking money from my account after I cancelled and mailed back product. Never saw a refund. I would not recommend this product.
