Pros:

For me, less cystic acne.

Cons:

Expensive, and didn't clear my skin all the way; ever. Once I stopped using it I broke out horribly.

It probably does do a good job for the people endorsing it on tv, but it won't work for evryone. Try it if you've done nearly everything else.

Pros:

Feels like your getting a good cleaning. Your skin gets better temporarlly. Used it for 2 years.

Cons:

Stops working in the long run. If you miss a day of cleaning, you start breaking out again.

This will work well on people with mild acne, but if you have either moderate or severe acne I suggest not to buy this product, and that your better off with over-the-counter products that are cheaper. Although I used this product for 2 years and I didn't have any irritations or side effects, it started to cause rashs on my skin this past month. So I went to a dermatologist and he said that I was having a allergic reaction. It's kind of odd because I been using this product for 2 years and now I'm having allergic reactions to it . =(

Pros:

It worked wonders for me, years ago. So I guess for some people it (the whole system) still works.

Cons:

For some reason, now my skin just breaks out when I use the WHOLE system (cleaner, salylic acid crap, repairing lotion). It's aweful. I dont understand how it worked when I was a teen and now it triggers acne. Guess it only works for my puberty.

I just can't use the whole system any more. The price sucks @ss also! After making hunders of millions of dollars, you would think they would bring the price down somewhat, like normal manufactorers do. I do use the repairing/night lotion. It works great by itself. I just wash my face with a fragrance-free clean soap (Pure & Natural brand), then use the lotion in the mornings and before bed. Now, I only get an occasional zit, here or there. Nothing nasty.

Pros:

It took away all the little acne,

Cons:

but then i get these huge hard things. It made my acne worse. It seems to me that it may work for people but only for a short time until the skin becomes resistent. I would not suggest this product.

Don't bother, it is no miracle. Look for something else.

Pros:

leaves skin decently soft

Cons:

DOES NOT WORK!!!!! I thought if i use the system for a while it may start to work, I have used it for a year now and my skin still looks HORRIBLE. I still break out all the time. The product is only for people who have very MINOR cases of acne.

You should only use this product if you are someone who only gets montly breakouts -- a few pimples or something minor. NOT FOR PEOPLE WITH SEVERE ACNE

Cons:

packages arrive late

product doesn't really do what it says it will do, i used the product on a daily basis and never saw an improvement; for less money i can get something at my pharmacy that's more effective and i don't have to wait or pay shipping costs. I believe it's purely celebrity endorsement that has this product selling not it's effectiveness.

Pros:

Get's you really excited after watching the commercials.

Cons:

Really dried my skin and caused burn marks. I had mild acne, occassioanlly on my chin, between eyebrows, on my cheeks. Now I have a severe rash between my eyebrows and mild burn marks and bigger pimples than before.

Cleared my face remarkably the first few days and now it seems that my face is worse. I think I am going to adjust my program by not using the deep cleaning wash and only using the mask at night. I also didn't use sunscreen and I read too late that I should. I really hope this works.

Pros:

The benzoyl peroxide lotion is gentle enough to use every day, and has a nicer texture than other BP products out there.

Cons:

Overall, PROACTIV didn't really help my skin. After using it for 5 weeks, I was still breaking out - maybe even more than usual. I was getting even more breakouts of smaller pimples all over my chin and jawline. Bigger pimples were also still there.

Do not waste your money on these products! PROACTIV is way too expensive, and the toner & cleanser are basically useless. If you're not going to visit the dermatologist yet, try other over-the-counter acne medications before you try PROACTIV. In all the cases I've heard (over 10!) it didn't work at all, even with people who used it for over 3 months.
