Pros:

makes pimples go away

Cons:

after awhile my skin has a reverse affect to the products, way too expensive to use consistently (I have bills to pay), takes too long for the package to come when i'm in desperate need to use it, the toner runs out too fast.

i used to use this stuff. goddd! it's awful! the repairing lotion has a weird "smell" after it dries. It smells like garbage! yucck. at first when i began using it, it was a miracle BUT then after awhile my skin got sooooo prone to it and then i would break out like crazy! especially if i skipped one night of not using it i would get bad bad zits the next morning (not too good if you ask me) I think the Refining Mask is the worst! they say in the commercials that you can use it as "on the spot" for zits. oh my god. i've been doing that for at least 2 weeks and it seems that it leaves "burn" marks on my face! I'm african american and have very dark skin, so you could see this dark scars on my face because of that damn mask. My mom was horrified when she saw my skin! she told me to stop using it, and i did. Proactic sucks. all the girls in the commercials complain about their already gorgeous skin. i swear i don't even think they USE Proactiv!

Pros:

Well it seemed to work the first couple of days cleared up the light acne I had.

Cons:

My face looks worse than it ever has in its life. I wish I never started using it. The only reason I still am and am staying optimistic that I hoping it still might work. You know how they say first the ugly comes out before you see the beauty? I do

It might work on your skin type'I really wish it worked on mine, but be aware that it might make your acne worse. Start with the trial.

Pros:

if your acne is bad, then an improvement will be seen in about a month....but it does not get rid of the acne, makes it less severe but you are still gunna break out

Cons:

dry skin, skin feels tight, gets you really mad when results are not what they seem on the infomercials

I have been using this product for just over 1 year, my acne has gone down but i still break out. You have to stick with the product and use it twice a day or else it wont work..if you miss an application it will show. If you really cant stand your acne...like me....then consult you doctor/dermatologist and get a prescription drug. Ive spent hundreds of dollars and am finally gunna give up on this product. I want something that will clear my acne up for good. Despite what people say about Accutane, i am willing to try and see what happens.

Pros:

Evened out skin tone, skin texture improved some.

Cons:

Regimen takes a lot of time, I developed a lot of small acne bumps under my skin on my cheeks and jawline. I NEVER got acne on my neck before and now can't get rid of it in those areas. Lotion makes face sticky and not as smooth as I thought.

I didn't have bad acne before, just wanted to be able to have consistently nice skin but Proactiv did not accomplish that. It costs a lot, is hard to get, and is harsh on your skin. I also noticed more fine lines on my face - around my eyes and laugh lines - than before and I am only 25!

When it works, it works. Nice mask.

Cons:

Works VERY inconsistently, bullsh*t prices and small bottles.

TOO inconsistent, too expensive, and won't KEEP your face clean. Pass.

Pros:

Works for awhile like a week or two at most.

Cons:

After a week your skin becomes dry as hell, and kinda becomes immune to it and ends up only drying your skin out further.

works great for a week then sucks. nasty smell too see your docter for something because their stuff has been tested
