Pros:

ProActiv makes my skin feel great. My face hasn't dried up or been itchy for a long time now, even in the winter when my skin gets pretty dry. It clears up a lot of my acne.

Cons:

I still get a good deal of break outs.

It worked great for my brother - it was completely gone after six weeks, never to return. For me, I've been using it for about a little mroe than a year now and I still have a lot of breakouts. However, it has done a good deal to clean up a lot of annoying acne.

Pros:

Proactiv clears my skin when I apply it consistently. It "feels" like it's working and when applied correctly, leaves my face fresh and cleansed.

Cons:

A little easy to apply incorrectly. Can irritate your skin if you wash your skin too roughly. The three steps are a tad tiresome, and it's tempting sometimes to skip the whole procedure, especially at night.

When I began the normal, teenage acne phase, I wasn't having any of it, so I went to a Proactiv kiosk at my local mall after seeing one of the countless infomercials. I had been using Clearasil before, but it always left my skin looking slightly pocked and rough. I have been using Proactiv for over a year now, and I can genuinly say it has been the best solution I have found so far. In no way is it a miracle medicine, but what acne treatment is at the moment? Once I began to correctly use the product, my skin cleared up. It was amazing how well the system works. I never had severe acne, just the mild bout, but Proactiv clears it up until I can honestly say I have not one pimple on my body. I still occasionally get them now and again, but that's only because I would go on a chocolate binge or something like that. With the proper diet (no chips and excess chocolate for me!) and Proactiv as help, I am sure you can achieve the acne-free skin we all strive for. Best of luck in your search!

Pros:

works for me, cleanser can be drying so I use neutrogena moisturizer, wasn't getting the job done with proactiv's moisturizer, don't use the repairing lotion, too drying,use the mask about once or twice a week.

Cons:

can't get it at walmart, etc, but I get it from my local mall, the cleanser costs about 20.00. better than waiting for it to be delivered and paying for shipping.

does work, just have to make sure to moisturize, do get occasional pimples but they seem to heal and dry out and go away faster. so far I have had good luck.

Pros:

Works well to get rid of acne & it's terrible left behind scars.

Cons:

Doesn't smell too great.

It's a great product, I had no blemishes and it helped calm down my skin fast. I had gotten complements on how great my skin looked. It's worth a shot; this is a totally diffrent product and doesn't burn. I stoped using it and that was the biggest mistake I've ever done, my skin now is very bad and I am buying another package as soon as I find the number for Proactiv. I tottaly recommend.

Pros:

It works for me!!! I've been to dermatologists here and there but nothing really worked. With Proactiv, my skin looked way better and I can use it everyday! And I've got lots and lots of compliments now! It works!

Cons:

It's expensive (but I saved more than going to dermatologists).
My mom wakes me in the evening since I sleep early and reminds me to use the product. My sleep's disturbed! hehehehehe... but it's ok! You have to use it religiously!!

I'm a medical student so you could just imagine the stresses in my life!!! One of the stresses is my pimple problem. I used to have very flawless skin but because of stress (and hormones), I started to have pimples. I've tried so many products and have gone to dermatologists. But by using Proactiv, my skin really improved! I wish I'd get my flawless skin back. With Proactiv (and proper management of stress), I'm hopeful I'll be flawless again. To the haters, I think you should read the guide. It states there that acne cannot be cured unless you get to the core of the problem. You have to balance your activities! You have to manage your stress and diet. If you can't manage stress (all types), then no matter what product you use or how religious you use a certain product, you will always get flare-ups!!! TRUST ME!!! And do have patience when you're using a certain anti-acne product! Patience is a virtue!!!

Pros:

It works, simple

Cons:

A little bit drying on your skin

Ive used it for over 5 years. I am middle aged, but still had the occasional breakout. This is the best thing that has worked for me. You can manage your shipments, and change them at any time. I get a shipment about every 3 months for about $49, with 2 cleansers and one toner, and it lasts me well. I wish they had this product when I was a teen. Everyone's skin reacts differently, but this is at least worth a try for you I think.

Pros:

- made skin feel softer
- took dryness from my skin

Cons:

- price
- I got confused with all the different products (i have 5.)
- stung a little when I first put it on

I just started using it today actually, so I didnt have time to see improvements, but after using the toner, my face got extremely red and stung a little bit. I continued to step 3, and my face looked and felt so soft after it dried. I then applied the moisturizer and it made my skin even softer, and the redness faded. My face isn't dry for now, and my skin has a certain glow to it. I'll write another review in a few days, just to update. For now, it's looking good.

Pros:

Cleared all of my acne completely when used on a regular basis, and cleared my skin within a week of use. Reduces redness and pain of acne within a few hours. Smells clean and plain, like lotion. Doesn't dry skin out at all.

Cons:

Must be used frequently (1-2 times daily) for the product work, and all three solutions must be used. For $40, there is only about a month's worth. The green, watery Revitalizing Toner usually stings a little on contact

A great product, and worth the slightly expensive price tag. Works amazingly and consistently well if used regularly and as directed. The three-step system covers about all types of acne, and additional products (like moisturizers) can be easily purchased. Proactiv's claims in their advertisements all seem to be generally accurate. As a company, they're fast and trustworthy.

Smells nice. Works well at first, like for a couple months, and then totally stops working.

Cons:

and doesn't work THAT well

If you're mostly developed (like 17+) it works. but younger, not really. you need to have pretty developed skin. possibly 16 also Recommended: depends
