Pros:

So strong, feels like something must be working

Cons:

Dries out the skin. Skin stings afterwards. Skin goes red and patchy. Skin feels heavily medicated, no moisture, tough, RAW!

Wouldn't reccommend it at this stage, but going to give a go for a bit longer to see if it gets better. Still got new acne showing up. Doesnt make the skin feel good at all, cant be good for it. Very strong.

Pros:

Works okay at first....but ONLY if you use it every day and night....would be good as a last resort for SERIOUS acne. NOT for people with occasional outbreaks.

Cons:

Eventually changes skin consistency. Makes your skin dryer and more leathery and dependent upon daily use of pro-activ!

DO NOT use this if you don't have serious acne. I had occasional zits and thought pro-activ would make my skin better. However, Pro-activ completely changed my skin....making it greasier at times, dryer at times and more wrinkly and leatherish. It was like my skin "required" pro-activ to make it clear, when before I could just use any old face wash. It does get rid of some zits but beware that it will change your skin- but not for the better!

Pros:

It heals your acne fast and makes your skin clear at first...

Cons:

After two months or so, the product makes your acne even worse. It is like your skin is immune to it. I started using other face washes and it got better than it was with proactiv.

Do NOT buy this product, it is a waste of time and a clear FACE. Find another acne system!

My son began using Proactiv in Dec. 2006. It worked for a month, but after that, his face broke out even worse than before. He continued to use the product, but would still break out on his right cheek and forehead. We noticed a couple of weeks ago that his face had begun to break out all over and is in the worst shape that we've ever seen it in. His dad told him to lay off the Proactiv to see if that is what is causing his breakouts. He hasn't used the product since and his face is clearing up. He's simply washing it with Dove soap and warm water and using rubbing alcohol as an astringent cleaner. His face is looking way better. We are canceling Proactiv!! It may work for some people, but it obviously is not for everyone.
