Pros:

nothing really.

Cons:

Dry, flaky skin with more acne than before. Small bottles, not worth what you pay.

It sucks! I used it for 6 weeks, it didn't do anything except for make my skin worse. My skin started getting dry, chapped, and flaky and my acne got worse. I started using it less so that my skin could adjust, even that didn't do anything. My skin was at its worse when i bought proactiv. Their infomercials are the biggest lies i've ever seen. I switched to a MAC oil off! skin cleanser and olay complete moisturizer, my skin has gotten alot better. But i learned my lesson. DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR TV!!!!

been using for a little over month, consistenly following the directions. i now have red, itchy, peeling, irritated, burned skin. i've been noticing my hair starting to bleach aswell, particularly around my eyebrows. must be something to do with the benzophyl peroxide. the sad thing about this product is the acne always re-appears. often worse than usual. clear skin one day, mass breakout the next.

Pros:

Smells good... but that's the only good thing about Proactiv Solutions!

Cons:

EVERYTHING! Causes MORE acne and does not clear up any exsisting pimples or blemishes.

So every night for about 2 months I would watch the same Proactiv commercials about how well it works and how it's a miracle. All the celeb's use it and they just talk to highly of it. Every night I would want to call in to buy it and try it but I never had acne bad enough to have to do anything about it. A few months later, I started to get a little bit of acne and so I got Proactiv. I used it once a day for the first two weeks as the bottles instructed and for this two weeks, my acne didn't clear up one bit. My skin is fairly oily to begin with and it was still a little oily after washing with Proactiv. Then I started using it two times a day and my skin was less oily but I began to get more blemishes. I know that at first, a product may cause more pimples because it's pulling the oils out from under the skin but I've done my routine with Proactiv for over a month and everday I was see more pimples. It made my skin much worse... and I would NEVER recommend Proactiv!!!

Pros:

keeps skin looking good for a while

Cons:

if you stop using it,it will make your skin worse

see its ALL about marketing.they put something in the product to make your skin addicted something like cigarettes do,so once you stop using it,your skin gets bad so then you have to buy more to keep up clear skin.I would say stick to drug store products that are like 5 bucks only.

Pros:

none. period.

Cons:

DRIES out skin. makes acne WORSE. smells BAD.

i have trouble believing that this product is actually a solution for some people...not to mention that if it really does work for them, why not me? by using proactiv solution i have succeeded in drying out my skin, creating more blemishes and creating more scars. i will never recommend this product.

Pros:

none!!

Cons:

made my skin about 20x's worse

theres no one solution for everyone's acne. unfortunatly, it didn't do anything to improve my skin in any way shape or form. it actually made my skin break out on my cheeks, when the only place i was having problems was in my t-zone. fortunatly, i found triclear. seriously, this product has done WONDERS for my skin. if proactiv didnt work for you, i would try triclear.
