Pros:

can't think of any

Cons:

Harsh, bleachy, and drying. I'm convinced now that it made my acne worse.

I used this product from the time that I was 13 to 23 years old because I started to have pretty bad acne and my mom had me start using it. I stayed with it for a long time because I believed that if I stopped using it my skin would get worse. Finally a few years ago someone convinced me to try more gentle products. First I switched to Aveeno and things got a lot better, then I switched to Burts Bees and I'm amazed to find out that I now have clear skin. Like magic. I'm aware that everyone's skin is different. My skin is sensitive and a little on the dry side. If you aren't getting anywhere with products with Benzoil Perozide then I strongly recommend trying something more natural because it's probably irritating your skin. The BP and bleach in Proactive is harmful and not worth it. My sister still uses it and she has terrible acne but I'm convinced that if she just tries something more nourishing and less drying she'll be a lot clearer. I think I almost have her

Pros:

I haven't had a new breakout

Cons:

dry skin, itchy, and my skins burns

Well I just started to use this product. It has been 4 days, I know it's too soon for results, but my skins is very irritated and it burns, also my skin feels very tight as if I had a dry facial mask. I'm going to keep using it for 2 weeks if after that I don't see results I'm going to stop, plus reading some of the reviews really got me thinking.

Pros:

It worked in the begging very well it cleared up all my acne!

Cons:

But after a few weeks my skin got so bad! my skin was worse then beofre I started! I was so dissapoited, I don't like this product anymore its horrible for your skin and it causes break outs later on!

Don't buy this product unless you want two weeks of satisfaction, but totally not worth it. Your skin gets much worse after a couple weeks of use.

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

It made my acne worse! Not only did I break out even more, but my skin was dry on top of it all. So I had pimples, splotches and my face was peeling. How embarrasing

I do have sensitive skin and have had acne my whole life but this is not as great as they make it seem. It did not work for me even a little bit. And I even tried it twice thinking I gave up too soon the first time! They told me it was a 30 day free trial, but if you use it 31 days you have to pay for it (and when you go to cancel, they tell you that you need to give it more time.) Then, after I already used a bottle and wanted my money back because it didn't work, they wanted the old bottles back after I already threw them away! What a nightmare, please don't waste your time and money and actually see a doctor that can see your history and treat you according to your skin.

Pros:

- None. As for what I saw at least.

Cons:

- Made skin more oily with moisturizer.
- Made too dry without.
- Made pimples much worse.

Proactiv was horrible. And reading all these other reviews, I think it is overall a horrible product. Very deceiving with the commercials, but actually made my face worse than before. Don't buy this product.
