Pros:

NONE. trying it was the worst thing I have ever done to my face. EVER!!!

Cons:

Proactiv RUINED my skin!! It gave me acne when I only had slight break-outs before trying the product. The commercials had me convinced, but I highly doubt that any of the spokespersons actually use Proactiv.

I basically had clear skin, with a pimple here and there. I thought that if I ordered Proactiv that I wouldn't have any pimples... WRONG! I immediately started breaking out when I began using Proactiv. It started with little pimples on my forehead, and progressed to small pimples covering my face. Even as a teenager, I never experienced a breakout that even came close to what Proactiv did to my face!! I called customer service and the lady told me that it is completely normal to break out for the first two weeks of use, as the system was cleaning out all of my pores to prevent further breakouts. She convinced my to stick with it, and I gave it the benefit of the doubt. I tried it for 2 months and my face got progressively worse. I went back to using a simple non-detergent cleanser and lotion from Kiels(spelling?) which I highly reccomend. In a few days my skin looked better. It has been almost a month since I quit Proactiv, and my skin has almost cleared up again. DON'T DO IT!!

Pros:

none

Cons:

proactive is not good for sensitive skin!!!!!

I odered this product and was very excited to try it but in the morning when i woke up i had a allergic reaction. I found out it's not for sensitive skin. So if you have that type of skin don't use it!! I'm sure it works for some people just not me : (

Pros:

Skin is fine after 2nd week of use. No breakouts yet, I'm only 19 so I'm normally packed with alot of oil. I have tried other products recommended by my dermatologits but they dont' work.

Cons:

Too pricey honestly. Dry skin.

Everyone has a different body. That determines how the products will work on our skin. Each result is different for the individual. Some may not get results because of certain skin conditions but others will clear up within daily usage. I'm not sure about the whole idea of where your body can get immune to it. That actually sounds kinda ridiculous.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Made my skin MUCH worse. Dried out my skin causeing scarring.

I used the entire system (5 pieces). I never had major acne, just a few areas that I wanted to clear up. After using this over-priced crap I will be lucky if I can get rid of the scars it left. Do not buy this product, hollywood hype and high prices do not make it work.
