Pros:

May clear up your skin
Easy to order
Kit is all you need

Cons:

Expensive
May stop working over time

I started using this in my early 20's. After using accutane as a teen, my acne had resurfaced and was as bad as ever. At the recommendation of a friend I tried this stuff and loved it! It completely cleared up my skin....for 2 years. Then it all came back. Story of my life : ) Be wary of the company if you try these products. They sign you up for a month to month plan automatically. You can opt out of it if you call them though.

Pros:

clears skin fast

Cons:

can dry skin

i have used proactiv for a few months now and i like it, not love though because i feel like if i want to take a break of it for one night, i will break out the next day. I also dont use it in the mornings because it will dry my skin out. Also, if you just have light acne i wouldnt suggest it because i personally think its pretty strong. Overall this does the job in cleaning my skin and clears it after the first few days.

Pros:

quick results
great " refining mask"
high quality benzoyl peroxide
Good proactive approach

Cons:

very expensive
tiny amounts
sporadic zits will pop out
toner is useless

All in All, Proactiv was quite good. The benzoyl peroxide was of high quality. The sulfur mask works wonders. But the toner is useless and it just dry's out your skin. 3.75 rating. Good as a first acne med. NOT FOR EVERYONE.

Pros:

Starts to clear acne on first day.

Cons:

Drys out skin ...you must moisturize!
Does nothing for pores and blackheads.
Toner runs out to quick.
Can't wear makeup.

I have just started proactive and so far I have mixed feelings about it. On the very first day my face felt amazing and my acne seemed a hell of alot better. I even hoped I could go with out makeup for the first time in years. But now a week into the regimen my face feels dry and painfully irritated. My mom says my skin looks alot clearer and is getting much healthier. However according to friends and the proactiv site itself you must wait about three months before clear skin.According to them the first few weeks are the worse as the regimen starts to work drying out your skin, killing the bacteria. I plan on sticking to it and then talking to my doctor about an alternative regimen if it does not work. As I plan on having clear beautiful skin for when I go off to college in the fall. Wish me luck!

Pros:

Cleared up my smaller bumps on my face and minimized the red acne I had and red splotches on my face.

Cons:

Dried up my skin really badly around my eyes and mouth.

Proactiv works better for some people rather than others, and can really dry up your skin.
