Pros:

Feels great
actually works!!

Cons:

Expensive
Time consuming

My skin has NEVER BEEN BETTER. I had the absolute worst acne ever. I was worse than people on the infomercials. I tried tons and tons and tons of things. Proactive finally worked and people are literally shocked when they hear I used to have acne. I had it from 11 or 12 until I was about 19. I wouldn't use it if you only have a small problem... but this worked GREAT for me. Please, give it time!!!

Pros:

Works amazingly. Its clears up acne just use it on a regular basis.

Cons:

Dries out your face if you use it more than 2 times a day.

This is an amazing product. AS long as you use it right it should work for you. You break out when you first start to use it but that eventually goes away. Its just cleaning out your pores and working with your skin. IT is an amazing product and I would stronly recommened this.

Pros:

the packs that you can get, its good to pick which one suits you. and which you can afford. bought mine at a kiosk, good costermer service. smells pretty good, smells like sunscreen to me.

Cons:

takes a while to see results at least a week or two. i get a burning sensation when i use the toner/lotion, and skin turns red and itchy in some paces, (im not allergic tho)

goood product if nothing is working to get rid of your acne its a bit expensive for thos with not alot if money. tip; some people use the lotion (number 3 bottle in the 3 step system) as a mousturizer when its actualy not. in the basic pack it does not come with a mousturizer so i would recomend going up to a pack that does or buy a mouturizer because proactive might and probably will dry out your skin.

Pros:

Cheaper then most acne treatments. Lotion works fine

Cons:

Dries your face out, end up using the month supply before the month is over because of how dry your skin is.

Doesn't work. Would not recommend. The lotion is fine everything doesn't work. Did not clear up my face, all the dryness made me brake out even more.

Pros:

I guess it cleans your face?

Cons:

This product barely did anything, not worth the hype. It actually made my skin oilier?

I stopped using my dermatologist prescribed products because I had so much faith in proactiv. I continued to break out heavily, & constantly looked in the mirror & tried to convince myself that it was working when it never was. This product would probably be great if you want to stop the OCCASIONAL pimple or two, but not if you have consistent acne.

Pros:

it sort of worked... but i had to be anal about it.

Cons:

didnt leave me clean.

i switched out of proactive to another and i started breaking out. i read somewhere that if you switch out of proactiv your face starts freaking out. i think that's true. but i wouldn't use proactive just because i used it for like 2 years and it didnt dramatically change my face at all. i guess it just didnt make it better.

Pros:

skin looked awesome in 3 weeks, & I had really bad acne! $20/month is so worth it. The mask is awesome & the green tea lotion is the best. The make-up, OMG it's fantastic!!! I can change my kit to 2 or 3 cleansers whenever I need to get some extra

Cons:

If you scrub too hard when you use the cleanser, the toner burns. The "initial breakout" is awful-cust serv for Proactiv says that it cleans from the inside out, so it brings everything out when you start using it-but the mask works during that time

Better than Accutane, Murad (which is just the Proactiv gentle system at a way jacked up price), and all the ---cycline products out there. Any possible issue you could have with your skin, from dryness to oiliness to extra breakouts, Proactiv can fix! And, if your skin gets used to the regular kit, they can put you on a different formula so that your skin doesn't freak. Then, like the cherry on top, you can try EVERYTHING they have & if you don't dig it, you can get your money back. I would recommend this to everyone, it is seriously the best product I have ever used.

Made my skin dry
I just started using proactiv after using Simple products. Ive got to say that Proactiv made my face so dry, especially around my chin area. I had to keep re-applying moisturiser on it allday which isnt really ideal but I could not walk around with a dry face. Some bits were even peeling abit. So this isnt the product for me. So back to Simple I go.
