Pros:

The products are very user friendly and smell nice.

Cons:

Can have the ability to dru out skin on face as well as other areas.

I used Proactiv forquite a few months, and in the beginning it seemed to make my face so smooth and appear to begin looking more clear with exception of blemishes. Then I started to notice that my face was getting the bumps back on it, and also I noticed that my right hand had dry scaly-like places on it(which was the dominant hand that I would use to put on products). I stopped for a coupleof days to see if my hand would get better, and my face broke out even worse!! Now I have more bumps than I did before I started. I am at a loss because I don't want to continue this treatment at this rate! Maybe it works for some, but definitely not me!

Pros:

Didn't tear up my skin. When it works it works very well but the problem is ....

Cons:

Doesn't work right away. Stops working after a week of it actually working. Process takes awhile.

You should definitely try it if notjing else has worked for you. However, don't be excited if you buy it. It really didn't help me, but,the risk free trial migtht be a good idea. A dermatologist really is better though. They know your skin type and they know what types of medicines have a chance of working on you. I say no.

Pros:

Cleared skin for a while

Cons:

Skin gets addicted

It is not for all skin types. Recomend it for light and moderate acne. Not for very light or severe.

Pros:

Clears skin in less than 2 months.
Has a number of different products that you can try on your skin. One of them is bound to work
Can get rid of scars from severe acne.

Cons:

Dries out skin sometimes.
Can make skin very oily.
Costs are high but it's worth it.

Give it a go. If it doesn't work for you and you can't afford, simply don't buy it, or stop buying it.

Pros:

It makes your face feel clean, even though once you look in the mirror, it is just as bad as it was before. It doesn't increase amount of acne it just really didn't seem to do much of anything. AKA not much of an initial breakout. It does make your face dry, no oily skin anymore atleast!

Cons:

Makes face visibly more red.
No improvement.
Very dry face.
harsh chemicals, the third step will dye your sheets at night.

I think I may have over used this product, washing your face to much can simply make it worse. I think proactiv is worth a shot honestly. Because for the people it does work for it really fixes their acne for good. But if it doesn't work for you your face probably wont get much worse, just remain how it was. Give it a month or two to see if it really works for you or not. Your body needs to get use to these types of things it's not going to fix it overnight.

Pros:

Helped clear acne for a short while. Cleanser exfoliates.

Cons:

Dries out skin. Doesn't clear acne. Lotion is chunky. Toner is useless. No spot treatment in set.

My skin is the driest it's ever been. I've discontinued the use of the toner and have started using an additional moisturizer yet my skin is still peeling. My acne is getting worse; many whiteheads, cysts, redness, etc. Maybe I've just been using the same product for too long but it's definitely too pricey compared to how it's helping my skin. I'm going to switch to Arbonne Clear Advantage!!

Pros:

It worked very well for me for a while with consistent use. If I skipped a night or two, I would get breakouts.After 2 years of using it I started to break out more frequently.

Cons:

Drying, but all acne medication is.

Never visited a dermatologist until recently. (in late 20's) After going I was informed that there are much cheaper (if you have insurance) and much more effective solutions avaliable if you go to a dermatologist. Wish I had done it sooner. But if going to a doc is not an option, pro activ is not bad.
