Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The cleanser was way to rough for my skin and you have to buy the moisturizer seperately, it doesn't come with the line.

I hate this product line. I tried it about 3 years ago, and I also tried it when they said that the had a "new" formula. I hated it both times. Both time that I used the products I had used them for about 3-4 months and nothing happened except my acne got more inflamed because the cleanser was way to rough on my skin.

Pros:

the first time you use it, you feel like its working.
and thats it...

Cons:

dried my skin out so bad.
made it oily in areas, like quite oily
pricey ($117.00 + every THREE months!)
the commercials make it out to be gods gift for acne sufferers
toner and repair sometimes sting drier areas of skin

i'm in my last year of high school and this year has been my worst year for breakouts, however, i was sucked in by the commericials and the idea of having clear skin like katy perry lead me to buying the product. i was extremely disappointed with this product. the first time i used it my skin did feel better but after 2 weeks of using it my face has never been so pimply (some were very painful :( ) and covered in dry patches and oily areas. i called the customer care line, to get my return authorization number. the woman i spoke to was so RUDE and unhelpful and told me my next shipment was due to arrive in 24 hours (its over 72 hours now) and i had to wait to send it all back together. i don't recommend this to anyone. BUT not everyones skin type is the same so try it because you'll never know if it works for you or not.

Pros:

Refining mask is very good

Cons:

expensive
too harsh

II tried it for 2 consecutive days, once a day as recommended to start. The mornng of the third day I had a severe reaction to the product. My entire face and neck was swollen and I had a severe rash. My face felt like it had been burnt. I spent over $100.00 trying to clear this up within the first week of use which includes prescriptions and allergy medications along with allergy cream. Along with time off work because I had to go to emergency. Even after all this my face is still very itchy and the rash has not gone away. Do not use until you are sure it will not affect you like this.

Pros:

Green Tea Moisturizer is good

Cons:

Provokes very dry skin
Skin peeling
Provokes breakouts

A little about me, I have dry acne-prone skin. I did not have sensitive skin, until I used this product. Just not worth it. I was really excited to try this, and after using it for 2 weeks my face was so dry that I had to go to a dermatologist. My face started peeling horribly, just really not worth it. It was extremely harsh, and did not do anything good to my skin.

Pros:

It has got me into a good routine of skin care, and taking off my make up

Cons:

Dryness
Stinging
No results
They trick you

Ok so I am 23 and havent had trouble with my skin recently, i had tryed the acne treatments from the chemists, but as soon as i saw that i was having no result from those treatments i saw an advert for Proactiv, i mean freakin Katy Perry said it worked so thought i would give it a go, been 3 weeks, no improvement, if anything my skins got worse, got a rash on my cheek and redness. Also they tricked us into signing up for another subscription and took money off us for that and we had to pay to post it back!! Totally not worth it, going to a concert saturday and my skins awful, not happy. Spent about £60 think thats around $80

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

Billing/Customer Service

Do not buy this product. Billing and customer service suck. They don't tell you that there will be future shipments with 3 payments totaling $99.00. After returning the product it takes them 6-8 weeks to receive it and then another few weeks to return your money. In the mean time they continue to charge you for the product.

Pros:

Worked for first few weeks

Cons:

Too expensive and doesn't work.

gAt first I thought this had worked for me but after a few weeks the acne came back and I noticed lots of blackheads appearing. I really wanted to believe this would work, even though, if I am being honest, I knew it wouldn't. They definately have the money to spend on advertising and it maybe would work if you have very mild acne but please don't waste your money if you have severe acne. I have now seen the doctor and Im am being prescribed Accutane, which I have heard great things about.

Pros:

quick fix for mild to moderate or hormonal breakouts.........

Cons:

DRY!
RED SENSITIVE SKIN!
Should I be putting something on my face that bleaches my towels???
CROOKS! those jerks sent me more of this garbage without my consent and charged my account, when i called to complain, they tricked me into paying a remaining balance that i "owed". RUDE! customer service is terrible. i paid over 70 bucks for a sh*t product and shipping and their ridiculously small "free" gift"

Buy it at a mall or something if you MUST try it. DO NOT BUY from the official website. I don't HATE the product for those days when i just can't get my skin to do what I want, but I will not tolerate a company that lies to steals from and cheats their clients. not worth it and therefore I won't use it.
