Pros:

it works really good, and it feels good on the skin.

Cons:

the refining mask makes your face smell. i worn it and then went out side for some sports and it gave me sunburn and small blisters.

it works great, but be careful to read all the instructions and warnings.

Pros:

U CAN SEE RESULTS IN THE FIRST DAY.

Cons:

U HAVE TO BE CONSISTANT WITH IT AND FOLLOW ALL 3 STEPS ALONG WITH A MOISTURIZER.

I DONT HAVE ACNE BUT I HAD A FEW PIMPLES ABOUT 5 ON MY CHEEK, I HAVE TRIED MANY PRODUCTS FROM DRUGSTORE PRODUCTS LIKE CLEAN AND CLEAR TO VERY EXPENSIVE PRODUCTS LIKE DERMALOGICA. PROACTIVE IS THE ONLY PRODUCT THAT ACTUALLY WORKED! =)

Pros:

when i wash my face at night and have a few blemishes, when i wake up the next morning they have already began to diasappear.

Cons:

Dried my skin at first but not as bad anymore. if i stop using it for a few days i begin to breakout.have to use other Proactive products in order to see better results and those products can be pricey.

people get frustrated after the first few weeks, it took me about 4-6 weeks to see results and yes i did break out but it was only because it was "disinfecting" my skin. it takes a blemish about 6 weeks to breakout from underneath the skin. But after those 6 weeks i saw awesome results and loved it.It is also very important to use twice a day!

Pros:

Absolutely works as promised. I'll never be without it! Cleared my skin in just a few days.

Cons:

Is drying. Try my suggestions below. They also carry a milder version. Check out the website.

A never had acne until I hit 35 - got the dreaded adult onset kind. Suffered for 5 years, then wised up and ordered Proactiv. Works great! Is very drying as others have stated, so I use the three steps at night only followed by a good non-comedogenic night cream (Olay works great), and wash thoroughly with water only (no cleanser or toner) in the morning and follow with the repairing lotion and a good non-comedogenic day cream w/SPF 15 (very important!). Would absolutely recommend. Saved my complexion from those nasty zits!

Pros:

This product is inexpensive, gradually clears up acne and is easy to use.

Cons:

Causes skin to become dry which may be uncomfortable.

I've used this product for about a month and have noticed a positive change in my skin. My acne has decreased and is much more tolerable. The product leaves my face feeling clean and fresh. My skin tone has also evened out since I've begun using it. I believe that acne medications are different for everyone depending on the ph and hormone levels in your body. I tried this product a few years ago an it didn't work. But, now I have a great improvement.

dries the skin

I've just started using it, so I'm still waiting on the results. they say the mask works. that ain't so true, cuz i put it on my pimple over night when i woke up there was no difference... I'm still using it to see if my face clears up. cuz i really want it to clear up

Pros:

Really worked great for me! It almost did not dry my skin. Best solution so far after years of suffering acne.

Cons:

The "club" system is annoying. You run out of Repairing Lotion long before the cleanser, but you have to buy the whole kit. No moisturizing product in the 3-piece kit: you have to add a 4th product (and a 4th step) in your routine.

A little overpriced, but it's not the scam described by some. It may be THE solution for some like me who have tried a lot of things out of desperation. The most annoying thing by far is the buying club system. I suggest you get the 30-day trial before making your mind. Remember also that you have the right to use it only once a day, and the quantity you want. You have the right to delay a shipment or to ask for longer intervals between shipments, even if you have to struggle a little on the phone. On the other hand, the products are not available in detail in Quebec, as far as I know.

Pros:

I had no pimples left in 3 days, Didnt dry my skin at all!

Cons:

It bleaches the cloth I use, but thats all!

Great product, worth your money and I would recommend it to everyone. When using the toner, dont use it with a cotton ball, for two reasons: One, All it does it soak it up and then you'll have to buy more quicker. And Two, for some people it peels. It pour a bit on your hands and smooth it on.

Pros:

It really evens out my skin texture and keeps zits to a minimum. When I don't use it, my face definitely notices. I get a $50 shipment twice a year, so you can't really beat the price for the system.

Cons:

The shipment method costs less, but I end up using the products (cleanser, toner and lotion) at different rates, so I have to adjust the order every six months to get the right combination. It also bleaches some of my towels and sheets.

I would recommend this product to people who have persistent acne. not good for people with sensitive skin, or people with minimal acne problems.
