Pros:

Softer skin

Cons:

More break outs

The areas where i used put proactive has cleared but its caused more acne on other areas of my face. The product does not do anything other than scrub your face down with all the cleansers, and lotions. Please dont buy this product! Go to your dermitoligist and consult with them before using this.

Pros:

softer skin, removed dead skin cells

Cons:

more acne

had light clogged pores before I got it, now I have pimples all over, which I've never had before. It's been 2 weeks so far. I'm going to finish these little bottles and decide afterwards, but so far .. not looking good.

Pros:

I don't believe there is any reason to buy this product.

Cons:

This is an expensive item that did nothing for my acne. I have since discovered the Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Control Kit and it works wonderfully!

Do not get Proactive, get the Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Control Kit.

Pros:

I'm 14 yrs old. Yeash I'm young. And I have had a bad case of acne since I was about 10 or 11 yrs. old. I hate my skin, and it's so irritating, so I decided to try Proactiv. For the first few weeks my skin felt great and it seemed to be working.

Cons:

After a few months it looked like it was getting better, but now I've used proactiv for about a year and it's not making any progress. I think my face is getting worse. I want to stop, but I have no idea what to use.

I have very bad scars and acne all over my face, mainly on my cheeks, and they won't go away. I've tried about everything. Neutrogena, Clean and clear, this one acne kit from another infomercial, Johnsons Baby, and lots more. Nothing seems to be working at all. I'm still using proactiv, but if anybody has suggestions on other products I can use please do tell. THESE PIMPLES ARE KILLING ME! (Proactiv still hasn't made progress on my skin.)

Pros:

The first few days I got really excited because it smelled good, seemed to be working, skin felt great and then...

Cons:

.... this stuff made my face burn, skin flakes. I have a new pimple everyday now. I followed every direction they gave me and I think I got worse. I never had severe acne and now it's borderline. I really am not pleased with the results.

I think that it works for some people. However, I am not one of them. I normally have oily skin so for something to dry my face out, sheesh!

Pros:

Good customer service when I returned the product because it did absolutely nothing.

Cons:

DIDN'T WORK! Expensive, wanted to always keep it hidden because I didn't want others to know I bought an infomercial acne regiment. Dried my skin out slightly, definitely needed another moisturizer-another expense.

Not worth it at all. Don't buy it.

Pros:

The sulfur mask really does work.

Cons:

Irritation, skin extra vulnerable to sun when using toner.

From experience, only the mask worked (and ironically there is very little of it). The lotion burns and the exfoliant doesn't feel like it works at all. The toner is so-so.

Pros:

when you wash your face with the cleanser it feels great

Cons:

.. but that doesnt mean that it works. the cleanser dried my skin, then the toner burned it, and the lotion killed it lol. no but seriously, it dried my skin so bad, and it hurt.

it dried my skin espacially around my mouth, and it was starting to be grey.. ok that wasnt normal, and the skin on my nose was always extremely dry, it was peeling of.. when i went to school in the morning my face was so tight, it hurt too, because it was just, so dry. and the pimples didnt really go away. and the product bleached everything, i just dont think that a product that bleaches everything is good for you face.......... im tired of crappy products and stupid celebreties that lie on tv just so they get payed big bucks, they just went to the dermatologist and payed 2000 dollars for something better.
