Pros:

It cleared my skin a little but not much

Cons:

It caused my skin to dry out despite the fact that I have oily skin, also my acne got worse over time after I stopped using it.

My dad decided to get my brother and Proactiv because we both have acne but ours isn't that bad so I was a little excited to use it but when I started it burned my sensitive skin and after using it it worked but after I stopped it cause my acne to get worse and my skin dried. I tried to use it again but I had to stop after. I saw that it worked for my brother but I won't use it ever, I guess it works for people how have light acne. Also I have read some stories about bad customer service to cancel your order and I didn't have a problem with it. But don't use it if you have sensitive skin!!!!! It will make it worse!!!!

Pros:

-made my skin none oily since I do usually have very oily skin
-started to see improvement after a month of using it religiously

Cons:

-dried out my skin for a little while,then had to cut back on using it to only nighttime
-made more acne

after using proactiv for 2 months now,my skin is dramatically different,it's hydrated and my acne is almost completely gone.if you use this product twice a day everyday for about a month to a month and a half you will see improvement.dont give up,because I did and people said this wouldn't work so I didn't use it,but then I gave it a try and it's working.there's a warranty on it so if it doesn't work after 2 months,just send it back,plain and simple.

Pros:

will clear up some mild to moderate acne. will leave you with glowing skin if it works for you.

Cons:

Can be expensive in the long run. I ordered the 90 day supply kit. With 2 additional products.

This product did help clear up my acne. It did dry my skin out a bit but nothing that a good moisturizer could not fix. My skin is clear and glowing. This product can be quite expensive in the long run but since it worked for me I will continue to buy it. This product is a 50 50 product either it will work for you or it wont. Their are other products out their with a better percentage rate of working for the general public.

Pros:

NOTHING...cheap maybe.

Cons:

made acne worse
dried/irriated skin

Just don't do it. I switched to eXposed about a month or two ago (which is why I was on this site in the first place...to write a review for that.) eXposed is just soo much better. It actually CLEARED my acne, but if you have dry skin (which you will after proactiv) the Moisture Complex is a must, so don't be cheap about it. I will never again waste money on proactiv.

Pros:

Clears skin fast. Works very well. Not that expensive when bought directly from Proactiv. A new supply is sent automatically in time for you to keep using it.

Cons:

It's very easy too use more than you're supposed to, especially when you're anxious to get the results.

This product does work. If you can afford it every month, and the price is only about $20/per month, it is a wonderful solution to your acne. I have had pretty bad acne on my face from the moment i started to get pimples during puberty, and i've been to doctors and dermotologists who have given me perscriptions which have never workd like proactive has for me. I'm so happy there is a product out there that is affordable and that works without having to have a perscription form a doctor.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Very expensive

This product is very expensive, Did NOT work at all, Customer service was rude. Took money out of my account without permission or as they say if you order on line it automatically comes out monthly. Very Tricky you have to read the fine print..Not at all satisfied.

Smells terrible
Does not help like it says it does
You dont get much

Proactive is all bull, dont listen to all the celebritys who get paid to say they used it. It smells terribly and reddens the skin alot. Not worth the time.

Pros:

Can buy at the mall one time instead of ordering one after another.

Cons:

Didn't help acne at all. Skin felt clean and skin around acne looked better but didn't reduce acne.

Doesn't work how intended.

Pros:

Toner is great...really gets the dirt off your face but left me feeling a bit sticky...

Cons:

No change whatsoever in my acne...
Expensive
Doesn't smell good or feel good on my skin

Hated it. I never really buy into the whole "infomercial" thing but I was out of options so I thought I would give this a try and um...let's just say I won't be trusting anymore infomercials. I'm extremely disappointed. I mean I wasn't expecting perfection, but I WAS expecting improvement which I got none of....so....My advice is don't waste your money.
