Pros:

My skin felt clean and cool after using. I also think the price is not that bad.

Cons:

I used it for about two months and I had to stop using it because my skin was so dry and it looked like I had patches over my face. I even tried using moisturizer but it still did not help. That's how dry my face was.

I think it is a good product and that if it was not for the dryness, the product probably would have worked better in my case.

Pros:

smoothes skin out

Cons:

makes your face shiny, can be drying if used in excess

it works okay i think i might change to arbonne though because i hear that proactiv doesnt clean deep into the tissue layers, only the top layer, whereas arbonne gets deep down and has good success stories.

Pros:

Left my face fresh and clean.
Helped get rid of existing scars
Prevents breakouts

Cons:

Dry skin in the first month of using it

I LOVE IT! It worked for me! I've tried most of the products out there over the 5 years I have had breakouts. I've been using Proactiv for 8 months now and my skin is clear. My face is just so smooth and clean. It's all about patience...it doesn't work overnight..but it will work!

Pros:

It keeps my skin under control - after it started going crazy at age 21

Cons:

Every now and then I get a brekout, but nothing like I was before! It also can make your skin feel extremely dry and tight if you dont put the moisture back in.

The first time I used this product I had a red face and it was itchy. But after it got used to the peroxide it was fine. This product is for people with serious acne, not a little bit here and there. The moisturiser is absolutely useless, but you need to use ALL of the other products one after the other. If you skip a product, it wont work. If you skip an application, you get the breakout straight away. I actually use Shiseido Moisturiser and Toner after the Repairing Lotion. This works. Now I have great skin. IF YOU DONT HAVE BAD ACNE TO BEGIN WITH DONT USE THIS PRODUCT, ITS NOT WORTH THE HASSLE

Pros:

it sure cleared up my acne and pimples and there are less on my face then usuall. the tonner and cream really helps when u use it and ever since i used it, my face hasnt been so oily.

Cons:

there are still some pimples on my face from time to time, and i mean like one big pimple.

if i dont use the tonner and the cream on days because i forget too, my face gets really dry and ends up getting oily.

use the face wash then tonner then cream, dont skip and tonner and the cream like i sometimes do. also if u usaually go to the doctors for medician, dont use proavtic because it wont work

Pros:

Well at first, it worked well. My skin was clear even, and awesome!

Cons:

The so called "moisturizers" they brag about in the products dont work. They dont moisturize at all. I used to have brown skin, now its white and the texture is terrible. it aged my skin. im going to the doctor to get something better.

Maybe if you're white this will work. If you're not, then forget it. All acne medications dry out your skin, but this was bad. My oily face didnt go away either. Now my skin is uglier than before. Just wanted to get my feelings out.

Pros:

it works great with the refining mask!

Cons:

It dries your skin at first and they dont tell you how important the refining mask is.

You need to know that any acne product will dry your skin initially it is expected. I tried moisturizers and found one that worked for me that I would apply after proactiv. Its all trial and error. My face cleared up somewhat at first, then every three days i would apply their refining mask and within like two weeks my face was clear. I think thats why they call it combination therapy which includes the sulfur mask, also i noticed murad also uses a sulfur mask. the sulfur mask which i found in combination with the three steps and the moisturizer that fits YOUR skin really worked. my skin was completely clear, we need patience and dont touch your face!!!!

Pros:

Its affordable and its shipment is speedy.
Cleared up my acne for four months and had a nice smell, but...

Cons:

The face broke out even more! According to my friend who used it, it peeled away the top layer of skin and left it vunerable to more ACNE! It was terrible! My face got use to the product!

Proactiv, even though it sounded promising, it wasn't cut out to be everything I had expected. Proactiv delievered clear skin, but it killed my face and left me with even worse acne than before. I recommned to acne victims, do not fall for Jessica Simpson's claims - they are false!

Pros:

Worked very well at the beginning

Cons:

Burning sensation on skin. Super dry skin. Acne still came back

Don't use Proactive if you only breakout occasionally, like I do.
