Pros:

Made me think it was going to get better

Cons:

Doesn't clear it up.
Sometimes made me break out more

It doesn't work in the long run. It may work at first. But then you will break out more. The refining mask made me break out even more! And it gave me body acne too. It's a f**king joke. And notice in the commercials how the "real people" say how it works. And notice how they look TOTALLY different? Like in the before thing, the girl had short hair, then in the after one, she had long hair, with braces. So, you do the math.

Pros:

Easy to use.

Cons:

It doesn't work. Period.

Don't waste your money. They get stars to endorse their product because they have the money to do so. Stars get facials and have dermatologists. Not because they use Pro-Activ.

Pros:

Now I know proactive is not for me and not to trust evertything I see on TV

Cons:

super dry skin, irritation, burning/stinging not matter what moisturizer I put on my skin (I've tried many)

I regret using proactive. After 1 application, my face dried out like crazy and it has been like that for a few days now. Clearly the direction they provided are not very accurate and the commercial was a hoax. Terrible experience.

Pros:

My skin looked fresher than before. The toner gives a nice shine to your face

Cons:

My skin is dry!!!! and im still breaking out like big pimples! and its not good for blackheads

At first i was like wow this is so great! and my skin was so smooth and stuff. But now my skin is dry and flaking! theres reddening on my face and i think it caused parts of my face to be darker than others. I really want it to work (and still do) just like the commercials but my skin doesnt look so good anymore it all bumpy and stuff.

Pros:

The cleanser felt real nice on my skin.

Cons:

pricey!. didn't think it was worth the money..

It didn't work on my face at all! i have super sensitive skin. I could'nt get through at least 1 week before my skin started burning and my face had begun to feel like it was striped down and it was very itchy. I had to put my face in cold water to make the burning and itching sensation go away. I retried the product months later but i recieved the same results . so i will neer use this product again.

Pros:

Has a nice fragrance

Cons:

Makes your face feel dry and wrinkled
Very expensive

I used proactiv for two complete months but didn't find any noticeable changes in my blemishes. I then switched over to Clear Pores and was astonished by its results in just three weeks time. Proactiv sucks! Thanks Clear Pores.

Pros:

Good customer service when I returned the product because it did absolutely nothing.

Cons:

DIDN'T WORK! Expensive, wanted to always keep it hidden because I didn't want others to know I bought an infomercial acne regiment. Dried my skin out slightly, definitely needed another moisturizer-another expense.

Not worth it at all. Don't buy it.

Pros:

after all the stuff i use it definitely leaves my face feeling clean.

Cons:

dried up my skin, gave me a rash on my neck from the face wash, instead of getting rid of acne it seemed to increase it. it smells really bad, the whole procedure is too long and strict, too expensive, little repair lotion, face stinks like sulfur.

i bought proactive, because i had mild acne....didnt see result til a couple of weeks of using it and the results only lasted for 1 day because then it just started getting worst, where before i only had 3 pimples now i have like 15, and cauz the product dries them up really bad it leaves blemishes. i've been using it for about a month, thinking it would eventually get better, but it keeps getting worst, i have never had my skin feeling and looking so horrible. after reading all this reviews i will definitely stop using it.

Pros:

none

Cons:

It completely dried out my skin! It also made my face so red, that it looked like I had sunburn. I've never even had bad pimples. I'm now trying the Mario Badescu skin products. They're very non-irritating!I love them! [link removed]
