Pros:

Pros:

A PROACTIVE USER THAT ALWAYS COMES BACK

Cons:

My skin is never a 100% clear

Proactive is the best skin care line for me, compared to anything else I have tried. Whenever I stray I always come back. I stopped using Arbonne Clear Advantage cuz it sucked and immediatly when I used Proactive my skin improved in skin tone eveness, and clarity. I alsos love the fact that it exfoliates my skin which is something that everyone needs to keep that top layer of skin looking new. I love it!

Pros:

It has completely cleared up my skin.
It looks healthy and fresh! i love it.
i love no wearing make-up, it is an amazing feeling, having naturally great skin!

Cons:

None so far, other than it does sort of smell like sunscreen, and the price is a bit up there.

This product is Definitely worth trying, it might not work for everyone but it did work for me! I wont go back to other skin care products again. My skin looked clear and all the red spots had disappeared after about 3 days within using the product. My advice, give it a go, and you wont regret it!

Pros:

Works great the first month or two.

Cons:

My skin seemed to adapt to it. After the first couple months, didn't work any more. My skin is ridiculously oily and it doesn't control it at all and I break out the same now as before I used it.

Find another system maybe that you can trade it off with, might work. Hasn't for me yet though. :(

Your skin feels healthy, Reletivly consistant

So Slow! Rather irritating...

It either helps you or not; it not a miracle drug... but i still find myself need it as an excuse ; )

Pros:

Smells alright, left my skin feeling smooth

Cons:

It just doesn't work for me. It was great for a while, but now, nothing. It is very expensive!

Give it a shot, there is a money back guarantee. But don't feel desperate and try to stick with it...I did that.

Pros:

It works really Quickly
Decrease in the number of pimples on about two weeks.

Cons:

may burn a bit at first
not consistent. if the routine isn't followed, you face get worst than before?

its okay i guess once your are going to keep using the product. rumor has it that after about three or four sets, its stops working but i have only used two set... i cant deal with the routine!!

Pros:

Works well on longterm, greatly reduces frequency and size of outbresks

Cons:

If a day or two is mised the cycle is ruined and you have to start again- can dry out skin if you dont pay extra for moisturizer (that smells like plastic!)

Works if you use it continuously for many months/years. if you forget one night or you dont buy a new one fast enough or go on holidays your back where you started. Works but you need commitment.

Pros:

It made my face feel clean.

Cons:

I had pealing skin and it did not match up to the results you see on tv.

I got the sample size and it made my face feel good and clean but i used the recomended dosage morning and night in the beginning and it made my skin dry and pealing but my face cleared up some what. so i only use the face wash in the morning and the who system at night. they send you a new box so i though id try it and this was the regular size. using only the 1 step in the morning and the whole at night since it made my skin peal. as time went on it my skin got use to it and it had no affect so i stoped using the dime size/pea size, still nothing. . im gonna try the clean & clear advantage acne control kit next since. :/

Pros:

it works if used correctly

Cons:

makes your face look red and can irriate your skin

i've used proactiv for a while, then went off it, now i'm back it's working well you just have to use the right amount which is very little.
