Pros:

it works for some people i guess.

Cons:

I tried it, decided it just wasn't for me, and am now going through h3ll for it. I was charged for a second shipment without consent or even knowledge it was coming. I cancelled my account the next day and refused that package when it arrived. It has now been over a month with no "money back guarantee." Sure, if the money comes ever, they can still say its a guarantee but don't count on it. It has been over a month now with no reimbursement for an authorized charge and I have called to inqui

dont buy it.

Pros:

NONE.

Cons:

Expensive.
Burns your skin, and peels the top layer of your skin off.
Your skin gets used to it after a couple months.
Works at first, and gets you excited that you're going to have clear skin! But then stop working!
COMPLETELY RUINS YOUR SKIN AFTER YOU STOP USING IT.
Full of harmful commercial products.

I started getting acne when I was in 7th grade. I tried alot of products and after spending alot of money and time, my parents bought me proactiv. It worked at first, and gave me hope that I would finally have clear skin. It worked about 2 months, and my skin got worse then ever. I stopped using it and switched to some acne cleansers and demolished my skin even more. I went to my doctor and he prescribed me Clindamycin and Retin A. HEAVEN. These to products are absolutely stellar together. I also use Cetaphil to clean my skin. It's so amazing. These three products have changed my life. I definitely recommend them. DON'T BUY PROACTIV. BUY CETAPHIL, AND GET RETIN A &I CKINDAMYCIN FROM YOUR DOCTOR! (:

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Went from light acne to very severe acne after using the product.
Expensive.

I'm 21 years old and my skin was always relatively good but I had some spot scars that I wanted to try and get rid of so decided to try ProActiv... absolute disaster. I used it for about a month with my skin continuing to get worse (I kept using it as I thought it's maybe just the storm before the calm) but after the month had had enough waiting and stopped using it. It is now two months later and my skin is horrible. I have now very severe acne that I am doing everything to get rid of. I am continuously self conscious about my skin and it is all I can think of when talking to anyone. Expensive product ( £40 sterling) that did nothing but make my skin 100 times worse than it was :( Do not use this!!

Pros:

smells nice
leaves skin feeling fresh

Cons:

dried my skin
never really cleared up my acne

after trying everything like clearasil, cold water, changing diet i then went on to pro active it worked sometimes nut then eventually made it all worse it got that bad that i quit college because i wouldnt bare people looking at me and i quit my modeling too. sounds pathetic but acne scars you on the inside more than on the out. i then went onto Duac that worked wonders for me for about 6 months never had a breakout then it started again so now im on doxy for about a month now and i use tea tree oil at night with it. seems to be working really well my skin feels really good my natural tone is back without the really red cheeks. im not sure if its the tea tree or doxy but i would reconmend tea tree or tose water from booys.

Pros:

Looks like it'll work in the first week.

Cons:

Doesn't work
Over priced for no results.

I put off buying this product simply because of its price. I gave in because i've been suffering from pimples for 9 years. I've tried everything out there and have even taken roaccutane which as well did not work. This product was just one more disappointment. I would never recommend this product, doctors and dermatologists will tell you only to use cleansing wash such as Cetaphil. I will be going back to that.
