Pros:

great commercial

Cons:

doesn't work

I never had acne, until I turned about 25. It started midly so I figured I'd just use Proactiv b/c their commercial was very convincing. It worked for the first year, then BAM.....stopped working. I continued with the system just like I had for the previous year, but it just doesn't work anymore. My skin is horrible now. I do not recommend this product at all. It is too expensive and doesn't work for the long run.

Cons:

My face was dry and the toner was irritating.

It cleared up some of my acne but then it would make me break out every so often. It didn't really cleared up my skin as i was hoping it would. To me it wasn't very helpful but maybe to some.

Pros:

None that can think of

Cons:

Didn't work at all. Actually gave me dry patches (rash) around my face.

Didn't work at all. Seemed to make acne worse along w/ the rash and dry face.

Pros:

It helps in a way for me like it keep the acne from breaking out and helps my face feel refreshed and such.

Cons:

I have very oily skin and I thought Proactiv would help cease the problem. But it doesn't really. Also I've been using this product for a little over a month now and to tell the truth, I don't see much of a difference; it's dissapointing really.

I recommend anyone to see a dermatologist first. Don't think 'cause many celebrities use it and it works on them means that it'll work on you too.

Pros:

It leaves your skin feeling nice and smooth and the toner &. cream really works on oily faces.

Cons:

If you do not have a lot of acner, this product is not recommended. It might make your face worse if you are sensitive as well.

I will not completely diss Proactiv Solution because it mihgt work for some people. The bottom line is that if you have sensitive skin, it is advised you might see a dermatologist and get extra advice before trying any product. Also, if your acne is limited, it might just make your face worse. A rash may develop on sensitive skin (sidenote.) If you really need it for bad acne, try it. But i SERIOUSLY ADVISE SEEING A DERMATOLIST. I am not going to NOT recommend it because it may work for some people. But it may not for others. It is up to you and your skin's needs.

Pros:

the little beads in the face wash make your face feel smooth at first.

Cons:

I didnt have bad acne when i started using it. I just wanted to make sure that I never would get bad acne. Well I ended getting pimples on my face that turned into sores and then left scarring. The scars are now turning into pits on my face.

Dont use this product if you have sensitive skin or think you might have sensitive skin. You will regret it. I'm worse off now than i was when i started the treatment. I have a friend that has bad acne and it also made it even worse. Can you imagine how she feels now after using the "miracle treatment"

Pros:

smells nice

Cons:

Didn't do anything to my acne, but made my skin's consistency turn horrible and slimy, and made scarring more prominent.

Avoid at all costs. Even if you want to try it, you can get the exact same concentration of the exact same medicine over the counter at your drugstore for a tooooon less.

Pros:

It began to clear my skin in three days....

Cons:

I used this product for four months. After the first month, my acne got considerably worse! I didn't change the way I used it, but it gave me big, red cystic acne.

This product is not worth the money. I have gotten better results using salicylic foam face wash pads (Neutrogena) and 10% Benzoyl Peroxide cream to spot treat. Although I was excited at first, the effects didn't last and made my acne worse overall. Someone else said that you should buy the moisturizer and other products, too. This only becomes more expensive. If a specific moisturizer is required for the product to work, it should be included in the original kit. Overall, I think buying more products from this company is a mistake!
