Pros:

I liked the way it made my face feel smooth the first couple of times.

Cons:

It made my face feel oily after using the 3 steps if I did not apply the mask..Mask was very hard to get off and made my face red..Does not work on blackheads..only moderate pimples

I have used this for about 2 months and the only thing it has done is made them come out worse and very itchy. Blackheads have not even cleared at all. I used store bought cleansing before and it always cleared my blackheads but not so well on the pimples. I don't know what to do..owell. I wasted my money and hopes on all the BS they feed you about the Proactiv product.

Pros:

It did clear pimples the first couple times i used it.

Cons:

I broke out real bad after like a week of use. I called the info line and they told me that was supposed to happen and keep using and buying. So I did and my face burned.

It works but I guess I might be allergic to something in it. I dont know how many other people got the same reaction as me.

Pros:

I was great! The first few weeks/months I started using it, it worked great for me. I would get very, VERY little breakouts.

Cons:

I got off of it for about a week, and my skin went BALLISTIC. It broke out like crazy. I HAD to get back on proactive. So now I'm trying to get my skin to my natural state, and I'm back on proactiv.

I would recommend it. It worked great for me, but if you get off it, your skin will go weird, and break out like crazy (only if you're like me).

Pros:

none

Cons:

I think I was allergic to this product. After day 3, my skin turned bright red and burned. The next day it itched very badly. I broke out in tiny bumps all over my face. At first I thought it was a rash but they turned out to be pimples.

This product is harsh and not for use on sensitive skin.

Pros:

At best works OK.

Cons:

Expensive and doesn't work as well as advertised.

This product is not a acne cure like they say on the commercials. If you do a little research you can buy almost exactly the same ingredients they use on this "solution" individually for way less. Didn't do much for me and when I bought it and I have a mild case.

Pros:

It cleared up my acne for a little while.

Cons:

After a little while, I began breaking out a lot and it dried out my skin.

I would not recommend proactive to anyone with sensitive skin, or anyone who wants long term results.

Pros:

i didn't feel any burning that most people here are complaining of. also proactiv sells a concealer, to cover up all the pimples that will still be there. thats all i can think of

Cons:

will dry out your face in the winter without a moisturizer. but the same could be said of most other acne medications i've used

i gave this stuff 3 months, hoping for at least some improvement, but no, nothing. i've had moderate recurring acne since i was 13 or so, and that seems set to continue. definitely not worth the price.

Pros:

After a few months of use it worked well and cleared up my face a little but I still had breakouts.

Cons:

When I first started using it proactiv it didn't really help at all. I still had bad skin and breakouts. I have been using proactive for almost a year and now my face is starting to burn terribly every time i use it. Also it BLEACHED my towels!!!

All the hype about Proactiv is a load of bull because it didn't help me very much, it bleached and ruined my towels when i would dry my face with them and now my face burns for hours after using it. For paying as uch as we do on it it should work a whole lot better. It is a waste of money.
