Pros:

Helps the breakouts I have helps new ones from forming.

Cons:

At first my skin was dry, peely and itchy.

I haven't used it for very long and already I notice a huge difference in my skin, its a lot smoother and healthier looking, I mean yeah I still have a few blemishes but no new ones have popped up. So overall this is a really great product! Just a side note for dry skin use the "Green tea mostuire" it calms and sooths your skin and smells fantastic!

Pros:

Usually works well, cleans skin, non-irritating, reduces acne overall

Cons:

Doesn't always prevent breakouts, doesn't help with oily skin, EXPENSIVE, annoying to wait for mail shipments, can't skip a treatment

I had a pretty bad case of acne since middle school, and everything else I used just aggravated it. I tried Proactiv and it worked pretty quickly, so I stuck with it for years. It IS effective - just not all the time. Big zits still flare up pretty frequently. The only difference is that the product makes them go away a little faster than they would otherwise. I'm currently looking for another treatment to switch to. It's good stuff, but it's not the miracle that the infomercials say.

Pros:

The product smelled good and the refining mask worked great for my red marks.

Cons:

It made me breakout a little bit extra and even when i continued to use it, i saw no improvement.

Proactiv isn't that great for sensitive skin types and made me have the acne that i have to deal with today. Before i used it, i had mild acne, now that i used it it made me breakout WORSE and im stuck with red marks everywhere now. Dont risk worsening your skin with proactiv because it'll come back and bite you in the "you know what".

Pros:

Our son is 14, The product has helped reduce his acne.

Cons:

Proactiv damages clothing, sheets, towels and any colored fabic that it touches. The price is very high considering that you will need to replace clothing. Weaid $26 a month with about $250 extra by the time we figure out what was causing the damage.

Proactiv has rude customer service. Similar products can be bought at the local Walmart must less expensive. People should band together and file a class action law suite against these crooks. You are sent a 2 month supply that only last 1 month, but your are billed twice.

Pros:

the part of my face that DOESN'T have acne looks smoother than ever before.....

Cons:

my face feels irriated,dry and tight. my pimples aren't clearing up, but they are becomming bigger and redder!i have never felt this dry before!kinda pricy.

This not the miracle product that i thought it would be. I was shocked that it made my skin WORSE! i guess i'm a sucker for good commericials! The truth is if you're skin is sensitive or you have little acne, this is not for you. find something that will sooth and heal the skin, not attack it!! if anyone knows an acne product that will sooth and heal- let me know!!

Pros:

It seems to work well so far.It works better than the wal-mart copy. It's not so harsh and smells a lot better.

Cons:

Their shipping estimate as stated on their site is for shipping to the guthy renker warehouse, not to your door. I paid for rush shipping and 7 days later they emailed me saying it just showed up at the guthy warehouse.They replied to me saying.

I'm done buying from these people. I should know better than to do an autoship plan. I hope it's easier to get out of the deal than it was to get my second shipment of product. I like to be in charge of my credit card and I like to buy a product when I choose not when Guthy Renker decides to charge me for more weather I want it then or not. I'm sure it keeps their overhead down and when you have a celebrity list like theirs to pay for I guess they need to charge somebody for it. I'll try Murad next I think but I'm done with Guthy Renker; to bad too, we actually like the Proactiv product.

Pros:

I liked the mask out everything they had, it helped just a little.

Cons:

It caused few pimples but were I couldnt see them, and made my skin dry.

It might work but I would say that it might only work on certain skin types. For me this product worked pretty well. The best thing to do I recommend it, is to wash your face with scented, liquid soap and then buy "Equate Acne Pads Maximum Strenght." Then just put the soap on and put the "Acne Pad" on or "Oxy Pad" and clean your face of with cool water just dont get uit in your eyes.

Pros:

My skin felt clean and cool after using. I also think the price is not that bad.

Cons:

I used it for about two months and I had to stop using it because my skin was so dry and it looked like I had patches over my face. I even tried using moisturizer but it still did not help. That's how dry my face was.

I think it is a good product and that if it was not for the dryness, the product probably would have worked better in my case.

Pros:

It got rid of my pimples.

Cons:

While using the Proactiv Solutions 3 step kit, I started to notice that my skin was burning and severly peeling.I tried to mosturize it more but that didnt help, it still kept peeling.

Don't buy Proactiv Solution. It MIGHT get rid of your pimples but your skin might peel and you will feel that burning sensation. Its not worth paying $45.00 to have your skin peel.Even if the people at Proactiv recommned it,don't get the extra streght! You will regret it.
