Pros:

I'm black so it evened out my skin tone and i went out a few times without make up.

Cons:

Just got more and even bigger breakouts. When i stopped using it for at least three days i had no breakouts. I am now using PanOxyl 10 n even though my skin is peeling all the spots on my forehead have disappeared in less than two weeks of using PanO

Obviously doesn't work for everybody.If u get breakouts from Proactive u might have a negative reaction to Salicyclic acid.

Cons:

Dries skin out way to much, making very very flaky.

This products seemeed to work for about two days and then my skin got dry as hell. My skin looks worse now than when I started. I am trying to make my skin not so dry now, this is a hard thing to do. My skin is so flaky that it is driving me up the walls. Would not recommend it.

Pros:

it works well for me at first...my skin actually looks glowing.

Cons:

once you think its working its stops. i now have little pimples along the sides of forehead, cheeks, and forehead. everywhere, which btw i never broke out badly in those areas before. so i guess my skin became immune to this product.

i really it would work for me, cause i wasted so much money on it. do't know what i will use now. my skin feels very dry now, and its not even winter.

Pros:

none

Cons:

-didnt work
-dried face out
-made face burn like hell

i was reeally dissapointed with proactiv. i thought maybe it would be the thing to get rid of my acne, but it didnt work for me at all!!! not only did it not have an effect on my acne, it completley dried out my face and made it all flaky and it burned like a mf. i dk if i was using it wrong or what, and ill probably try it again, but whatever the hell was in that stuff did NOT like my skin.

Pros:

it helps at first

Cons:

it works at first..the stops..you'll never have clear skin like they say. even when you use the product correctly, you'll get a pimple or more..
dries skin. reddness..

it works at first. does help, but they lie about the fact that you'll get clear skin. you still end up getting pimples.

Pros:

decreased my pimples in different locations on my skin.

Cons:

This program did not work for me the first 2 days it worked and then my face became extremely red, dry, flaky, red blotches. i just threw out the proactiv and its a money waster.

dries out your skin, makes your face red for 2 days.

Pros:

None

Cons:

I've been using for over 5 months and I still have bad acne. I have more blackheads than when I started using it.

It might work if your acne isn't really bad but if it's already bad it probably won't.

Pros:

i honestly did not find a pro from proactiv. for awhile it kind of helped with prevention, but nothing else

Cons:

i already have extremely sensitive skin, and it just irritated my skin. it made it redder, and it looks irritated. i need to find something that helps prevent and cure, and relieves redness

i wouldn't recommend proactiv. Especially to those who have sensitive skin. It mainly irritates skin, and doesn't help with acne treatment
