Pros:

Works great! the only thing i have found to help me and i have tried almost every drugstore brand.

Cons:

Availablity and price. to buy out of shopping mall is very expensive, to buy online cannot just run out and buy when you are out, need to plan ahead more.

Terrific product! I am now into my thirties and i have never found a product to work this well for me without going to a doctor.

Pros:

It has gotten rid of a lot of the redness on my face. My skin tone is a lot more even and i have a lot less acne issues.

Cons:

I haven't noticed anything i dont like yet. It does make you dry but you have figure out how much is right for you. The only thing i'm kind of afraid of is that it might quit working because that's what i've heard from others.

I really like Proactiv. It's too bad that i couldn't of found it earlir. I had been messing around for years with different prescription stuff from a dermatoligist that was okay but it wasn't giving me the results i wanted. I am on doxycyclin too but it was still frustrating to look in the mirror and never be satisfied. With Proactiv looking in the mirror is a lot less stressful process. I really hope it keeps working and my skin continues to improve.

Pros:

Great skin! Only took 6 wks to see great results! I was skeptical because I worked for the company and new all about the product but had never tried it

Cons:

The initial breakout period before it clears up.

Did you know that if you are a club member, you can change how often you are recieving these prdcts, take your card off and recieve a bill, customize your kits, and place holds on your account for a certain amount of time? Acne takes 3-4 weeks to see results so that is why it takes 6-8 wks to see the full results for most people! Try it that long before you say how awful it is! Also, you can't become"immune" ask your doc what causes acne and they will tell you there are lots of different reasons.

Pros:

i love it! there's just a little fragrance so it's not irritating. lasts a lot longer than two months. the malls sell them so you can buy it whenever you want

Cons:

bleaches towels. i use the body wash before i sleep, it has a non-bleaching treatment. don't get just what you see on tv. the treatment is not the moisturizer

i've been using it for 4 years now and haven't used anything ever since. - if you're sensitive, play around with the amounts, everyone will respond to it differently. - don't use more then what's recommended, it'll dry your skin. - be consistent... it's just common sense. if you were on a diet and only followed the regiment half-heartedly you won't lose weight.. same thing here. - use the mask! it's your best friend, a smelly one, but a friend indeed. - use a sunscreen... it will subdue the "damaging" effects of benzoyl peroxide, not to mention wrinkles.

Pros:

Clears my face up right away, easy and quick, dependable

Cons:

Alittle dryness, ordering is alittle outdated when getting other products

It's the best thing I've ever used. I've had very bad acne since I was young. So bad I had to get injections on my face. I've been using Proactiv for 5 years now and it's been great. I've left it for other products and always had to come back because nothing was ever strong enough like Proactiv to clear up my face and keep it clear.

Pros:

im in modelling so having acne was horrible. i have had acne continiously since i was 12 and finally, at 19, my skin feels amazingly smooth and clean. i felt the difference in the first week i used it. (only one or two pimples occasionally now)

Cons:

about 10 days after i started using it my skin got VERY dry and red(ive always had oily skin too so it was weird) so massage moiturizer in (dont be stingy) after the lotion (i use udder cream with the cow bottle) and you're good to go.

if you use the 3 step system as well as the refining mask, daily oil control and spot treatment you will see improvement within the first 3-4 days depending on your skin type. mine is very sesitive but i was determined to get rid of the damn burden once and for all so i put in alot of time and energy into using it as recommended. (the price is worth it if it works people!) !!MOISTURIZE BEFORE PUTTING ON MAKE-UP!!

Pros:

It seems to work if I keep using it. I cleanse and use repairing lotion.

Cons:

Very expensive and it's a pain in the neck to have to buy products I don't use like the cleanser and toner. I ended up with 12 toners and 11 cleansers!! I just want the repairing lotion! Bleaches my shirts! The mall is twice as expensive.

It works if you use two times a day for at least a week. Nice smelling. Expensive and unable to purchase repairing lotion only!

Pros:

Been using it about 5 years. I'm more than happy. It controls oil. It keeps blemishes controlled. It doesn't dry me out or irritate. When I say I use Proactiv, people look closer and say I have great skin. I say, "exactly".

Cons:

Cost. Time to receive orders if you don't have a local kiosk.

I believe one product isn't going to work well for every single person. If you haven't tried it, do so. If you do and it doesn't work for you, something else will. It does take about 30 days to see your first good, consistent results. My dermatologist moved me to MD Forte for a time and I got so much worse, my face hurt, so I switched back. Not only did Proactiv clear up blemishes and lighten the oil, it all around smoothed out my skin, alleviating some rough patches. I've tried some other of the products and the Daily Oil Control doesn't work for me, but the Matte Finish does. My esthetician says the clay mask works well for me. Like anything else, it's a personal preference and choice, but I'm sticking with it.

Pros:

Excellent 3 step system, has definatly made my skin look better, reduced redness and fewer pimples that wouldn't go until proactiv

Cons:

the first few weeks of using it, it does bring out the underlining spots and brings them to the surface, but thats the only way to achieve clear, healthy skin

use twice a day once in morning and again before bed, stay consistent with it and you will achieve clear skin
