Pros:

after using the face scrub ure skins soft.

Cons:

after using the face scrub ure skins soft.. but extremly red. and after you put on the cleanser and lotion, its greasy and ure scarlett.

its doesent WORK AT ALL. ive had it 4 times and it never cleared my acne, i dont have severe but the little things annoy me so i tryed this product and it SUCKED. and in the morning, the corners of your nose and really oily.. and its GROSS and the cleanser smells DISGUSTING. its like sulfur. and during the day...your really shiny becuase its like it brings out the oil in your face instead of getting rid of it. its really overatted and expensive, so dont waste your money. jessica simpson didnt use this... i guarantee it. she has millions of dollars. she prob got that fancy expensive laser treatment.

Pros:

I am experiencing a breakout of new pimples the Zit, and its painful now,its stinging, with a dark skin discoloration

Cons:

A little improvement since I have just started using it like a week and a half.Let me continue using then I will update you,

I have a friend who used two packs of proactive, who recommended me to this regimen, she has cleared so far, To me what i have so far achieved is promising, but the problem with me is that the toner is too little that it gets finished before other products,and being very far it takes sometime to reach here, like 2 to 3 weeks which is also expensive when making an order like a single toner.

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

It works for a month, then it gets worse and worse. It keeps you on a roller coaster ride of happy and sad!! The mask makes your face smell like sulfer. CS is rude and threatens you to keep your membership! Then keep charging your account!

DO NOT USE IT!!! You are paying for massive celebrity endorsments and not results!!!

Pros:

it cleans your face?

Cons:

It doesnt work AT all, it never cleared my face.

Do NOT use proactive. To say that it is the number one product? thats rediculous. the only way possible anyone can say it is number one is if they payed doctors tons of money to lie, which is what did happen.That is also very sad, being that now people suffering from acne are fooled and continuoisly living with acne because careless doctors lied. DO NOT USE PROACTIVE.

Pros:

If used everyday morning and night and all steps were done it usually worked completely.

Cons:

It smells, you have to do all steps, it makes oily faces more oily, it makes simple acne much worse, it stains clothes, ruins showers, and you can never go a day without it

I used this product for 2 years and when I went to a organic spa for a week everyone there was so anti proactiv. I wandered why, and everything they were saying made sense, the chemicals are to harsh, which explains why it stained clothes and stripped the finish off my shower. When I stopped using it, my face broke out worse then I had ever seen it in my life not to mention I never had blackheads before and now have them EVERYWHERE. I found something better to use and more simple and Im amazed I stuck with that crap for so long.
