Pros:

it helps clear blackheads AND LITTLE PIMPLES, ONCE CLEARED A HUGE ONE.

Cons:

it made my skin have a reaction, and sometimes the cleanser can irritate your skin and make fricken acne worse.

i dont use it anymore, stopped using after like a month almost a year ago, but kept the reparing lotion which sorta helps. dont buy it tho, well may work, idk.

Pros:

I felt like i was really doing something about my acne So i had confidence....

Cons:

It made my face worse and then SLIGHTY BETTER...

It felt like it was buring my skin off due to redness all over my face but i continued to use it as i thought that it would better with time.

This stuff is over rated! Jessica simpson and all these other celeb's that get paid millions to say they use it... Dont. It's not THAT great.

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:

It gave me confidence...

Cons:

Kinda expensive for a student like me.. T,T

Used this product for about 2 months and cleared my skin. Well, not totally clear but maybe 60% of my pimples were gone... But overall, I think this product works...

Pros:

I've used a lot of different treatments, and Proactiv has definitely been one of the better ones. Clears up your face right away.

Cons:

It's effectiveness wears off over time, just like any other system, because your skin becomes used to it.

Despite what I've read many writing about price, I think that Proactiv is decently priced when compared to many other acne fashwash systems. I've tried a lot of different systems, including ones that are even higher priced, and I've never seen a better result than with Proactiv. It might not work for everyone's face - you gotta find something that works for you - but definitely give Proactiv a try. It's worth it.

Pros:

it cleans your skin
the refining mask

Cons:

it helped my acne but, it didnt do anything for my blackheads

i WOULD RECCOMMNED IT BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER PRODUCT TO USE IN COMBINATION WITH THIS PRODUCT. i USE THE CLEAN AND CLEAR ADVANTAGE ACNE CONTROL KIT AND IT WORKS WONDERS!!! THE BEST THING ABOUT THE PROACTIV KIT IS THE REFINING MASK. ITS THE BEST

i have somewhat sensitive skin and i use the gentle form of proactiv. it still uses salaylic acid but instead of having benzoyl peroxide in the formula there is tea tree oil and natural skin soothers like aloe. i still find i have mild acne after using it but think i'll have to deal with acne until i grow out of it. however, i have been dealing with acne all my teen years and have tried many products (including the generic form of proactiv) but the proactiv GENTLE formula has worked the best. i recommend this produce for someone who has sensitive skin along with moderate acne.

Pros:

It really did clear my skin up . . . people kept saying how good my skin looked

Cons:

It takes a very long time for my old blemishes to go away. I think it prevents my face from healing as well as it should. It does stain clothes too. the refining mask is amazing . . . but it smells really bad.

It does help a lot . . . but it's expensive. Try to find something better for your face.

It clears up your acne.

It leaves your skin very dry.

It is a good product if you have very serious acne.
