Pros:

It doenst work at all.

If you really have bad skin you can better use Clearasil ultra.. That really works within 3 days, cause thats what i'm using now.. I started using Proactiv 2 years ago, and i had some minor breakouts. After using it for 2 months it only got worse and my skin turned red and the breakouts multiplied... I stopped using it and now im using Clearasil and it works perfect, almost no more breakouts only when its that time of the month.and even then its not that much as it just to be!!!

Cons:

it didn't help, i broke out more. no good results.

i don't recommend proactiv solution to anyone. i read some reviews on the net and alot of them said that it doesn't work. i don't know why i didn't trust them. Then, for some reason i just bought proactiv. i used it for a month and it did not work. after four weeks using proactiv, i looked at my face more clearly in the mirror. i got so angry and i chucked the closest thing i can find at the mirror, then it smashed. now, i don't even have the confidence to walk out of my house. so much for "Proactiv is designed to help treat existing acne and prevent future breakouts"....so trust me, i'll tell anyone who would listen : DON'T USE PROACTIV.

Pros:

Nothing!!!

Cons:

Everything-the way it made my skin feel, the smell, dry skin, the process, the cost. Oh, and the fact that it made my skin worse!

I started using this early this past summer to help acne/prevent new breakouts. I used it exactly as the directions has stated and not only did it not help but it made my skin worse. I started breaking out under my chin, along the jawline, and on my neck! Places that I never had acne before. The cost is ridiculous and I cannot even believe I bought it. I know everyone has different skin and why didn't work for me could work for others, but your money will probably be better spent on something else that will actually wok.

Pros:

It tightened my pores and smoothed out my skin.

Cons:

It made my skin more oily, thus causing me to break out even more. I never had bad acne but this product made me have consistant break outs. Luckily I saved my receipts!

Pros:

You can return it and get your money back.

Cons:

I broke out even more within the first week. My face was very dry. I had to reapply moisturizer 3-4 times/day. It made my face feel very tight and I couldn't even smile. Right now, I'm trying duac. It's been a week and so far it's working for me.

Not everyone's skin is the same. Some products might work, some might not. You just have to be patient and find something that will work for you.

Pros:

none

Cons:

made skin worse the more I used it.

My skin was worse afterwards. I never received my refund, I had to pay for the bottles they kept sending me, before it went to collections, and they questioned me and said I didn't use it right! I waited years to try it, and have never been so dissapointed!
