Pros:

It has a nice scent and seems very convincing when you read the leaflet inside... the rejuvinating toner makes your skin tingle (which means its working) and the repairing lotion is very light.

Cons:

YET, it didn't work for me. Too pricey.

I have moderateish acne, but PERSISSTANT acne. gross. I thought, 'hey the ppl on the commercials say it works, i'll just try it'.. stooopid. It made my acne better but i still had acne, which i thought was a waste of money so i got off it. Then i got on dan's regimine. pshh.. no. didnt work. now im on benzaclin, yay!

Pros:

It helps clear dead skin cells
is smooth on your skin
etc etc

Cons:

in the beginning its sort of hard what to do..i got a bit confused and it said that the renewing cleanser should be massaged for a minute..but less then 30 seconds it already dried up and there was nothing to massage. Dries skin up..good though..

it wasnt like the product i thought it was on the TV...but i have noticed my acne clearing a bit...i have just been usin it a few weeks though. If you want good results..get a lemon or lime and squeeze its juice onto a bowl..then you get a cotton ball and start massaging it softly all over ur face...u get great results...yu can also drink it...but you can't eat anythin for an hour..so it can clean yur skin fast...

Pros:

It seem to work good the first couple of weeks, but then I started getting a few large pimples.

Cons:

It's quite expensive and the repairing lotion makes my 50 year old skin look weird! It's like I have a plastic coating on my face and when I smile, I have lines like a plastic wrap being stretched! I'll go back to Aveeno.

It's not for me. Maybe for someone with younger skin. I will try to find an astringent like theirs, with no alcohol, and use their system- daily cleansing grains, non alcohol astringent and lotion. I guess I learned something from them.

Pros:

I've used this almost every day, twice a day, for around 4 years. I had mild acne beforehand, and it did seem to help. My skin felt smoother, and it cleared up all my whiteheads, even though I still have around 2 slight breakouts a month.

Cons:

Didn't get rid of the blackheads. The 3rd step always lasts way longer than the 1st and 2nd step, and the 3rd expires earlier.

A very good product to try. Try it for around a month, see how it works on your skin. I'd say if it doesn't get any better within a month, don't bother using it anymore. (If you're a girl and you seem to have breakouts before/after/during your periods, monitor how well proactive effects you at different times during the month, if at all!) This product is VERY, VERY good if you want to simply get into a routine every day that will at least slightly help your skin. I helped me to get into a routine that helped my skin a lot.

Pros:

- refreshes skin
- feels fresh after using it
- heals my acne
- 60 day money back guarantee

Cons:

Nothing

This is how acne products work, they dont just clear your skin right away, in week 1-2 you seem to think its getting worse, but really its not, its just making all your pimples pop out, than it clears them after. But ya for some people it works, for others it drys there skin out.

Pros:

-made my skin none oily since I do usually have very oily skin
-started to see improvement after a month of using it religiously

Cons:

-dried out my skin for a little while,then had to cut back on using it to only nighttime
-made more acne

after using proactiv for 2 months now,my skin is dramatically different,it's hydrated and my acne is almost completely gone.if you use this product twice a day everyday for about a month to a month and a half you will see improvement.dont give up,because I did and people said this wouldn't work so I didn't use it,but then I gave it a try and it's working.there's a warranty on it so if it doesn't work after 2 months,just send it back,plain and simple.

Pros:

Reduces acne

Cons:

Auto enrollment in Proactiv program. (I would prefer to just buy it when I like instead of being enrolled and being charged every month).
Has to be shipped to you/ costs extra for shipping.
No cons about the product itself.
Price.

Proactiv is a good product. It has helped reduce my acne, but I can't say that it diminishes it completely for me, but it definitely helps, and when I do not use it, my face breaks out like crazy, so I know it is doing it's job at preventing acne. It's the only product that has worked this well on my skin so far.
