Pros:

It worked at first.

Cons:

Stopped working. Period.

I got small breakouts once a month, so I thought I'd give Proactiv a shot since everyone was hyped about it. It made my skin beautiful for about a year (but remember, I didn't have bad skin to begin with!). After about a year, I began breaking out horribly and for no apparent reason (no one in my family has ever had problems with acne). Also, my skin became so oily, it looked like I was sweating all the time. Gross!! I have stopped using it and I'm going back to what always worked before and should have stuck with: Noxzema.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Dry/irritated skin. Did not make my face clear, made me look OLDER and red, blotchy skin. Smells bad. Absolutely awful.

Don't get tricked into buying this product because Jessica Simpson uses it. Bottom line, she is an idiot... and so are you if you think this product will work for you.

Pros:

NONE!!!!

Cons:

Very pricey!!! And makes your skin very dry.

I ve been using it for about a month now and I have seen no improvement in my skin. Actually my skin is very red where the pimples are and it has spread to my jaw line and down the side of my neck. Very disappointed as I paid $50.00 for this product.

Pros:

nothing. nothing at all.

Cons:

-it dried up my skin so bad that nothing could moisturize it.
-it made my skin oily
-it made my face break out even worse than before

It didnt work for one day, even. i thought my skin would get used to it after two weeks, but it didnt. i am now repairing my skin. THIS IS NOT A GOOD PRODUCT, PEOPLE. it's a scam, waste of money. use what works for you, try different things. you can purchase great products that are very cheap and work amazingly!

Pros:

smells nice

Cons:

cost too much, made skin dry, did not work

I've been using Proactiv for the last 3 months. The first month I used it it totally cleared up my face. It was smooth and clear, I loved it. After that I started breaking out in places I didn't break out before. Now I have more acne than when I started and it's not clearing up at all. I cancelled my memebership and I'll never use it again.

Pros:

None...

Cons:

Dried my skin, very expensive, money back guarantee didn't count.

For the $60 I paid for this product, I was hoping to get clear skin. NOPE. It just dried my skin, emptied my wallet, and when they said that if it didn't work, I could send it back within 60-days, they were lying. They didn't except it, and they charged me to ship the bottles back. I'm ashamed that I was convinced by celebrities that have probably never even used this product.
