Pros:

Dried up my pimples
Cleared my pimples up

Cons:

Dried my face
Made my face red and inflamed
Made my skin tone rough and uneven

You've seen the reviews on tv about how good this product is. Maybe it is a good product and my skin might just be too sensitive for it. Yes it dried up my pimples but it dried it up so much my face got even oilier to replenish itself. For people will sensitive skin, I do not recommend it.

Pros:

Got ride of most of the acne.

Cons:

Dried out my skin, made it super red and I had to buy an expensive moisturizer which still didn't get rid of all the redness, does not get rid of blackheads, and acne comes right back if skipped use for a day or more.

I would choose a different acne solution, there are better out there that use more natural products and don't cause gross side effects like redness and dry skin.

Pros:

May be helpful for minor acne.

Cons:

Products do not work as advertised. Extremely expensive.

Bascially unsatisfied with results. Their customer service is the worst I have ever dealt with. Horrible experience dealing with them and the issue was never resolved.

Pros:

It works for the first couple uses.

Cons:

I noticed that right after I use it, my acne is so much worse. My face gets really red. I am not allergic. This product works only for the first couple uses.

I thought it was really good for the first couple of weeks and couldn't wait to see my face clear up. After those first weeks, I noticed my acne became progressively worse. I also noticed it wasn't clearing up my face. I was very disappointed. I have tried my acne products to try to get a clear face. I have recently discovered Exposed. I have read reviews and they are a lot different than the ones for Proactiv. I am going to try it.

Pros:

Gets rid of acne quickly, leaves face feeling clean

Cons:

Stings, leaves skin dry

I tried this about 5 days ago. It worked great! But two days after starting it, I started getting major headaches. Apparently, it was being absorbed into my bloodstream and causing my blood to thicken and all that great stuff. So if you want to take the chance you can, but keep some detox handy just in case.

Pros:

Ships to your house

Cons:

Everything

Waste of money. This product made my eyes and neck swell up like a balloon, now I have wrinkles under my eyes that won't go away and I'm only in my 20's. Doesn't work at all and they kept sending and charging me for the product after I called and canceled.

Pros:

It kept new zits from forming.

Cons:

Overpriced. It didn't take all of my pimples away. They stayed there for a month and its still there. Whenever you stop using it for a day, you break out even more. I only used it on certain parts where i broke out, and it stretched out those pores.

Don't buy it. It is overpriced and is horrible. The clay mask has SLS in it. There are too many chemicals. I've had pimples around my nose for a month, and all proactiv did was keep them down but it never went away. For the areas on my face that I put it on, my pores are now visible. I used it for about 8 months. The first starter kit lasted me 4 months, my face was pretty clear but I had a pimple or do. I stopped using it for a couple weeks and I bought the bigger bottles. It was a waste and didn't work for some reason. Its one of those things where you cant use longterm.
